 ### Optimization Highlights (v2.3.4)
 
 18 performance optimizations and security hardening improvements implemented:
 
 **Obfuscation Layer (wraith-obfuscation):**
+
 - **WebSocket mimicry frame wrapping** -- 55-85% faster via pre-allocated buffers and 4-byte chunked XOR masking (1456B: 4.01 → 7.45 GiB/s, 65KB: 3.08 → 5.78 GiB/s)
 - **DoH tunnel query creation** -- 70-86% faster via pre-allocated Vec and single allocation (244B: 12.8 → 45.2 GiB/s, 512B: 12.3 → 22.0 GiB/s)
 - **WebSocket RNG optimization** -- Struct-level `Mutex<SmallRng>` replacing per-call RNG creation for mask key generation

 - **DoH bounds-checking** -- Hardened response parsing against malformed data
 
 **Core Layer (wraith-core):**
+
 - **Frame full pipeline** -- 11-30% faster via `Vec::with_capacity` and unsafe `set_len` eliminating zero-initialization (1456B: 5.85 → 7.62 GiB/s, 65KB: 8.04 → 8.88 GiB/s)
 - **Frame padding RNG optimization** -- Thread-local `RefCell<SmallRng>` caching eliminating per-call RNG creation (3 call sites optimized)
 - **Frame build delegation** -- `build()` delegates to `build_into()` reducing code duplication
 - **Ratchet error path** -- `#[cold]` annotation on key-commitment parsing error path
 
 **Crypto Layer (wraith-crypto):**
+
 - **Message header deserialization** -- 53% faster via direct buffer read and offset calculation (25.6 → 12.0 ns)
 - **Noise handshake** -- 2.6% faster via reduced allocations and streamlined validation (25.1 → 24.4 us)
 
 **Security (wraith-files):**
+
 - **Secure memory cleanup** -- Added `zeroize` on `IncrementalTreeHasher` drop for secure erasure of in-progress hash state
 
 **Previous Optimizations (v2.3.2-optimized):**
+
 - Zero-allocation frame building (`build_into_from_parts`) -- 10.9x speedup
 - Cached Double Ratchet public key -- 93.6% improvement
 - BTreeSet priority queue -- 118,000x speedup for chunk scheduling
