 ### Security Audit Trail
-This project has undergone comprehensive security auditing:
-- **Initial Security Rating**: B+ (Good)
-- **Post-Hardening Rating**: A- (Excellent)
-- **Critical Issues**: 1 resolved (path validation gap)
-- **Medium Issues**: 3 resolved (command injection, IPv6 policy, error disclosure)
-- **Low Priority Issues**: 4 resolved (race conditions, log management, config validation, DoS prevention)
-
-Key security improvements implemented:
-- Zero tolerance for path traversal attacks
-- Complete audit log injection prevention
-- Resource exhaustion protection in all file operations
-- Comprehensive input sanitization across all attack vectors
-- Enterprise-grade temporal and process isolation
