    • Status: Adaptive rate limiter Layer 3 pending formal benchmarking
    • Objective: Validate <5% overhead claim
    • Timeline: 8-10 hours, target 2025-11-05
  3. Lua plugin system security audit (Sprint 5.8, Q1 2026)

    • Concern: Sandboxing untrusted plugins
    • Approach: mlua crate security review, capability-based API
    • Timeline: 25-30 hours estimated
  4. Code coverage 62.5% → 80% (Sprint 5.6, Q4 2025)

    • Focus: CLI/Integration modules (50-60% → 75%+)
    • Methods: Property-based testing, edge cases, error paths
