fix(security): name GetTemplate results to satisfy gocritic

Verify bcrypt passwords in Direct mode and the shipped procedures, hash on
register/reset, ignore client-supplied roles and level at registration and
drop the password from the jwt_login payload. Legacy cleartext upgrade is
opt-in. Row security templates now bind the user as a parameter, validate
identifiers, attach via common.SelectQuery and fail the request if the
filter cannot be attached. ApplyColumnSecurity and GetRowSecurityTemplate
convert panics to errors and the hooks fail closed. Update audit status.

-# Migration Guide: Database and Router Abstraction
-
-This guide explains how to migrate from the direct GORM/Router dependencies to the new abstracted interfaces.
-
-## Overview of Changes
-
-### What was changed:
-1. **Database Operations**: GORM-specific code is now abstracted behind `Database` interface
-2. **Router Integration**: HTTP router dependencies are abstracted behind `Router` interface  
-3. **Model Registry**: Models are now managed through a `ModelRegistry` interface
-4. **Backward Compatibility**: Existing code continues to work with `NewAPIHandler()`
-
-### Benefits:
-- **Database Flexibility**: Switch between GORM, Bun, or other ORMs without code changes
-- **Router Flexibility**: Use Gorilla Mux, Gin, Echo, or other routers
-- **Better Testing**: Easy to mock database and router interactions
-- **Cleaner Separation**: Business logic separated from ORM/router specifics
-
-## Migration Path
-
-### Option 1: No Changes Required (Backward Compatible)
-Your existing code continues to work without any changes:
-
-```go
-// This still works exactly as before
-handler := resolvespec.NewAPIHandler(db)
-```
-
-### Option 2: Gradual Migration to New API
-
-#### Step 1: Use New Handler Constructor
-```go
-// Old way
-handler := resolvespec.NewAPIHandler(gormDB)
-
-// New way  
-handler := resolvespec.NewHandlerWithGORM(gormDB)
-```
-
-#### Step 2: Use Interface-based Approach
-```go
-// Create database adapter
-dbAdapter := resolvespec.NewGormAdapter(gormDB)
-
-// Create model registry
-registry := resolvespec.NewModelRegistry()
-
-// Register your models
-registry.RegisterModel("public.users", &User{})
-registry.RegisterModel("public.orders", &Order{})
-
-// Create handler
-handler := resolvespec.NewHandler(dbAdapter, registry)
-```
-
-## Switching Database Backends
-
-### From GORM to Bun
-```go
-// Add bun dependency first:
-// go get github.com/uptrace/bun
-
-// Old GORM setup
-gormDB, _ := gorm.Open(sqlite.Open("test.db"), &gorm.Config{})
-gormAdapter := resolvespec.NewGormAdapter(gormDB)
-
-// New Bun setup  
-sqlDB, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", "test.db")
-bunDB := bun.NewDB(sqlDB, sqlitedialect.New())
-bunAdapter := resolvespec.NewBunAdapter(bunDB)
-
-// Handler creation is identical
-handler := resolvespec.NewHandler(bunAdapter, registry)
-```
-
-## Router Flexibility
-
-### Current Gorilla Mux (Default)
-```go
-router := mux.NewRouter()
-resolvespec.SetupRoutes(router, handler)
-```
-
-### BunRouter (Built-in Support)
-```go
-// Simple setup
-router := bunrouter.New()
-resolvespec.SetupBunRouterWithResolveSpec(router, handler)
-
-// Or using adapter
-routerAdapter := resolvespec.NewStandardBunRouterAdapter()
-// Use routerAdapter.GetBunRouter() for the underlying router
-```
-
-### Using Router Adapters (Advanced)
-```go
-// For when you want router abstraction
-routerAdapter := resolvespec.NewStandardRouter()
-routerAdapter.RegisterRoute("/{schema}/{entity}", handlerFunc)
-```
-
-## Model Registration
-
-### Old Way (Still Works)
-```go
-// Models registered through existing models package
-handler.RegisterModel("public", "users", &User{})
-```
-
-### New Way (Recommended)
-```go
-registry := resolvespec.NewModelRegistry()
-registry.RegisterModel("public.users", &User{})
-registry.RegisterModel("public.orders", &Order{})
-
-handler := resolvespec.NewHandler(dbAdapter, registry)
-```
-
-## Interface Definitions
-
-### Database Interface
-```go
-type Database interface {
-    NewSelect() SelectQuery
-    NewInsert() InsertQuery  
-    NewUpdate() UpdateQuery
-    NewDelete() DeleteQuery
-    // ... transaction methods
-}
-```
-
-### Available Adapters
-- `GormAdapter` - For GORM (ready to use)
-- `BunAdapter` - For Bun (add dependency: `go get github.com/uptrace/bun`)
-- Easy to create custom adapters for other ORMs
-
-## Testing Benefits
-
-### Before (Tightly Coupled)
-```go
-// Hard to test - requires real GORM setup
-func TestHandler(t *testing.T) {
-    db := setupRealGormDB()
-    handler := resolvespec.NewAPIHandler(db)
-    // ... test logic
-}
-```
-
-### After (Mockable)
-```go
-// Easy to test - mock the interfaces
-func TestHandler(t *testing.T) {
-    mockDB := &MockDatabase{}
-    mockRegistry := &MockModelRegistry{}
-    handler := resolvespec.NewHandler(mockDB, mockRegistry)
-    // ... test logic with mocks
-}
-```
-
-## Breaking Changes
-- **None for existing code** - Full backward compatibility maintained
-- New interfaces are additive, not replacing existing APIs
-
-## Recommended Migration Timeline
-1. **Phase 1**: Use existing code (no changes needed)
-2. **Phase 2**: Gradually adopt new constructors (`NewHandlerWithGORM`)
-3. **Phase 3**: Move to interface-based approach when needed
-4. **Phase 4**: Switch database backends if desired
-
-## Getting Help
-- Check example functions in `resolvespec.go`
-- Review interface definitions in `database.go`
-- Examine adapter implementations for patterns

+# Audit: cross-cutting findings across `pkg/*`
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| **Scope** | all 23 packages under `pkg/` (64 065 non-test lines) |
+| **Audit date** | 2026-09-29 |
+| **Axes** | thread locking/waiting, slowness, security, panic handling & logging |
+| **Threat model** | hostile internet client; request bodies, headers, query params, schema/table/column names all attacker-controlled |
+
+This file records findings that are **not specific to one package** — they are
+properties of the repository or patterns repeated across many packages. The
+per-package audits reference this file rather than restating them.
+
+## Findings
+
+| # | Severity | Axis | Finding |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| X1 | **High** | locking | `-race` is never run anywhere; no package is ever race-checked |
+| X2 | **High** | testing | `go test` runs against 2 of 23 packages; the other 21 are only compiled and vetted |
+| X3 | **High** | testing | Every integration-test step is `continue-on-error: true` — integration failures cannot fail CI |
+| X10 | **High** | security | Whole subsystems are declared, configured, documented and tested but never installed — including every protective middleware and the metrics provider |
+| X4 | **Medium** | security | `gosec` is not enabled in `.golangci.json`; no SAST runs on a package set full of dynamic SQL |
+| X5 | **Medium** | locking | Unsynchronized package-level mutable globals are the dominant concurrency pattern |
+| X6 | **Medium** | security | Insecure-by-default transport across the board: `sslmode: disable`, `WithInsecure()`, no TLS in cache configs |
+| X7 | **Medium** | panic handling | Panic handling is inconsistent and, where it exists, tends to fail open |
+| X8 | **Medium** | security | `logger.Warn`/`Error` forward every message to Sentry unscrubbed, and error strings routinely embed attacker data *(partly fixed 2026-09-30: redaction and rate limiting added in `pkg/logger`; call sites still embed attacker data)* |
+| X9 | **Low** | testing | Test coverage is extremely uneven: 5 packages have no test file at all |
+
+The table is ordered by severity; the sections below are in ID order, since other
+audit files reference these findings by number.
+
+---
+
+### X1. High — `-race` is never run
+
+Verified by grep: the string `-race` does not appear in `Makefile`,
+`.github/workflows/tests.yml`, `.github/workflows/maint.yml` or
+`.github/workflows/make_tag.yml`.
+
+Every test invocation in the repository:
+
+```makefile
+# Makefile:8
+	@go test ./pkg/resolvespec ./pkg/restheadspec -v -cover
+# Makefile:13
+	@go test -tags=integration ./pkg/resolvespec ./pkg/restheadspec -v
+# Makefile:97
+	@go test -tags=integration ./pkg/resolvespec ./pkg/restheadspec -v
+# Makefile:103
+	@go test ./pkg/resolvespec ./pkg/restheadspec -coverprofile=coverage.out
+# Makefile:110
+	@go test -tags=integration ./pkg/resolvespec ./pkg/restheadspec -coverprofile=coverage-integration.out
+```
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/tests.yml — unit-tests job
+      - name: Run unit tests
+        run: go test ./pkg/resolvespec ./pkg/restheadspec -v -cover
+```
+
+**Why this matters.** This audit found unsynchronized concurrent access to
+mutable state in **six** packages, and the Go race detector would have flagged
+every one of them on the first run:
+
+| Package | Racing state | Reference |
+|---|---|---|
+| `pkg/cache` | `defaultCache` read/written by concurrent request handlers | `cache.audit.md` finding 3 |
+| `pkg/config` | `*viper.Viper` has no internal lock; `configInstance` singleton | `config.audit.md` findings 1, 2 |
+| `pkg/logger` | `Logger`, `errorTracker` globals | `logger.audit.md` finding 1 |
+| `pkg/modelregistry` | `defaultRegistry` read by 6 functions without the lock | `modelregistry.audit.md` findings 2, 8 *(fixed 2026-09-30)* |
+| `pkg/tracing` | `tracer` global | `tracing.audit.md` finding 5 *(fixed 2026-09-30)* |
+| `pkg/errortracking` | `sentry.Init` mutates process globals | `errortracking.audit.md` finding 2 |
+
+**Failure scenario.** `pkg/config` finding 1 is the sharpest illustration. A
+concurrent `Manager.Set`/`Manager.Get` pair reaches viper's internal maps, which
+have no mutex. A concurrent map read and write in Go is not a panic — it is
+`fatal error: concurrent map read and map write`, which **`recover()` cannot
+catch**. The process dies instantly, mid-request, with no graceful shutdown and
+no error-tracker report. That is a remotely-triggerable hard crash, and it
+cannot be found by inspection at scale — it is precisely what `-race` exists to
+find. The detector has been in Go since 1.1 and costs one flag.
+
+**Recommendation.** Add a race job that covers everything, and keep it separate
+from the coverage run (race builds are ~2–10× slower):
+
+```makefile
+test-race:
+	@go test -race -count=1 ./pkg/...
+```
+
+```yaml
+  race-tests:
+    name: Race Detector
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
+      - uses: actions/setup-go@v6
+        with: { go-version: "1.24" }
+      - run: go test -race -count=1 ./pkg/...
+```
+
+Expect it to fail on the first run — that is the point. Fix `pkg/logger`,
+`pkg/config` and `pkg/cache` first, since they are the shared dependencies. Note
+that the race detector only reports races that **actually execute**, so X1 and X2
+have to be fixed together: a race detector pointed at packages with no tests
+finds nothing.
+
+**Status (2026-09-30) — resolved for the packages with tests.** `make test-race` now exists
+(`go test -race -count=1 ./pkg/...`), `test-unit` covers `./pkg/...`, and `test`
+depends on both. The CI workflow (`.github/workflows/tests.yml`) now has a `race-tests`
+job running the same command. The first full run was not clean:
+
+| Package | Race | Kind |
+|---|---|---|
+| `pkg/logger` | `Logger` / `errorTracker` reassigned while other goroutines log (hit via `pkg/server` tests) | **production** — now guarded by an `RWMutex` (`getLogger`, `setLogger`, `getErrorTracker`); the exported `Logger` var is kept for compatibility |
+| `pkg/security` | `DatabaseAuthenticator.Authenticate` passed `&userCtx` to the async session-activity goroutine while also returning it to the caller | **production** — the goroutine now gets a copy and is tracked by a `WaitGroup` so tests can wait for it |
+| `pkg/security` tests | async activity update used sqlmock concurrently with the test adding expectations | test — tests wait via `authenticateSync` |
+| `pkg/eventbroker`, `pkg/websocketspec` tests | handler/hook closures mutated a plain `bool`/`int` from worker goroutines | test — now `atomic` |
+| `pkg/mqttspec` tests | not a race: hand-built `HookContext` lacked `TableName`/`Model`/`ModelPtr`, the unsubscribe test set `Data` instead of `SubscriptionID`, and `:memory:` SQLite gave each pooled connection its own empty database | test — fixed; these were failing without `-race` too |
+
+`pkg/cache`, `pkg/config`, `pkg/modelregistry`, `pkg/tracing` and
+`pkg/errortracking` are listed above but did **not** trip the detector: their
+racing paths are not exercised by the current tests, which is the point made in
+the paragraph above about X1 and X2 needing to be fixed together. Adding
+concurrent tests for those globals is still outstanding.
+
+Known limitation: `pkg/security` tests are not repeatable with `-count>1` (a
+package-level capability cache carries over between runs), so the race target
+keeps `-count=1`.
+
+---
+
+### X2. High — `go test` runs against 2 of 23 packages
+
+Every `go test` invocation in the repository names exactly
+`./pkg/resolvespec ./pkg/restheadspec`. No invocation uses `./...` or
+`./pkg/...`.
+
+The test bodies that exist but are never executed by CI:
+
+| Package | Test files | Test lines | Run by CI? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `restheadspec` | 19 | 5 123 | **yes** |
+| `resolvespec` | 8 | 2 379 | **yes** |
+| `security` | 15 | 6 359 | no |
+| `common` | 10 | 3 644 | no |
+| `reflection` | 8 | 3 404 | no |
+| `websocketspec` | 6 | 3 092 | no |
+| `funcspec` | 3 | 2 416 | no |
+| `spectypes` | 7 | 2 367 | no |
+| `eventbroker` | 4 | 1 527 | no |
+| `mqttspec` | 3 | 1 408 | no |
+| `middleware` | 5 | 1 127 | no |
+| `openapi` | 2 | 1 022 | no |
+| `server` | 2 | 694 | no |
+| `dbmanager` | 2 | 659 | no |
+| `config` | 1 | 608 | no |
+| `cache` | 1 | 69 | no |
+| `errortracking` | 1 | 67 | no |
+| `metrics` | 1 | 64 | no |
+| `resolvemcp` | 1 | 34 | no |
+| `logger` | 0 | 0 | — |
+| `modelregistry` | 1 | ~150 | yes (`-race`) *(added 2026-09-30)* |
+| `testmodels` | 0 | 0 | — |
+| `tracing` | 1 | ~90 | yes *(added 2026-09-30)* |
+
+**Failure scenario.** `pkg/security` has 6 359 lines of tests — the largest test
+body in the repository — and **not one of them runs in CI**. A change that breaks
+authentication, column-level security or row-security templates merges green.
+The `maint.yml` job named "Run Vet Tests" is misleading: it runs `go mod
+download`, `go mod verify` and `go vet ./...` and contains **no `go test` step at
+all** (verified by grep). So the only signal on 21 of 23 packages is "it
+compiles and vet is happy".
+
+This directly explains the density of findings in this audit. The
+`pkg/modelregistry` authorization fail-open (`modelregistry.audit.md` finding 1)
+and the `pkg/cache`/`pkg/security` auth-outage-on-cache-failure
+(`cache.audit.md` finding 1) are both the kind of defect a single unit test would
+have caught, in packages that have never been tested.
+
+**Recommendation.** Change every invocation to `./pkg/...`:
+
+```makefile
+test-unit:
+	@go test ./pkg/... -v -cover
+```
+
+```yaml
+      - name: Run unit tests
+        run: go test ./pkg/... -v -cover
+```
+
+If some currently-unrun package fails immediately, that is a bug report, not a
+reason to keep the narrow list. Quarantine individual failing tests with
+`t.Skip` and a `TODO` referencing an issue, so the *package* stays in the set.
+
+---
+
+### X3. High — integration failures cannot fail CI
+
+`.github/workflows/tests.yml`, `integration-tests` job — every meaningful step
+carries `continue-on-error: true`:
+
+```yaml
+      - name: Run resolvespec integration tests
+        continue-on-error: true
+        env:
+          TEST_DATABASE_URL: "host=localhost user=postgres password=postgres dbname=resolvespec_test port=5432 sslmode=disable"
+        run: go test -tags=integration ./pkg/resolvespec -v -coverprofile=coverage-resolvespec-integration.out
+      - name: Run restheadspec integration tests
+        continue-on-error: true
+        ...
+```
+
+**Failure scenario.** The integration suites are the only tests that exercise
+real SQL generation against a real PostgreSQL — i.e. the only automated check on
+the identifier-quoting and filter-construction paths that this audit's threat
+model cares most about. Because both steps are `continue-on-error`, a SQL
+injection regression, a broken join, or a total suite failure (wrong DSN, missing
+migration) shows as a green check mark with a collapsed red step that nobody
+opens. The job has no step that fails, so the job always passes. This is
+strictly worse than not having the tests, because it creates the appearance of
+coverage.
+
+Note the integration DSN itself uses `sslmode=disable`, consistent with X6.
+
+**Recommendation.** Remove `continue-on-error` from the two `go test` steps.
+Keep it only on the coverage-report generation and artifact-upload steps, which
+genuinely should not fail a build. If the suites are currently flaky, fix or
+skip the flaky tests individually — `continue-on-error` on the whole step
+disables the signal entirely.
+

+
+### X4. Medium — `gosec` is not enabled — **RESOLVED**
+
+> **Status (2026-09-30):** `gosec` is now in `linters.enable` and the repository lints clean
+> (0 issues). The initial run produced 115 findings. Real fixes: login-form values in
+> `security/oauth_server.go` are now HTML-escaped (G705), and `SqlSparseVector` index
+> parsing uses `ParseInt(..., 10, 32)` (G109). The remaining ~110 sites carry
+> `//nolint:gosec // Gxxx: <reason>` comments. The G201/G701 reasons (identifiers from
+> trusted config or internal/validated names) and the G115 range claims were not
+> individually audited and still need review. The text below describes the state before the change.
+
+`.golangci.json` (`version: 2`) enables exactly three linters beyond the v2
+standard set:
+
+```json
+  "linters": {
+    "enable": [
+      "gocritic",
+      "misspell",
+      "revive"
+    ],
+```
+
+golangci-lint v2's standard set (`errcheck`, `govet`, `ineffassign`,
+`staticcheck`, `unused`) is on by default, so those do run. **`gosec` does not** —
+it appears in the file only inside an exclusion rule for `_test.go`:
+
+```json
+        {
+          "linters": [
+            "dupl",
+            "errcheck",
+            "gocritic",
+            "gosec"
+          ],
+          "path": "_test\\.go"
+        },
+```
+
+Listing a linter in `exclusions.rules` does not enable it. The `lint` job in
+`.github/workflows/maint.yml:40-57` does run golangci-lint over the whole
+repository with `version: latest`, so the config is applied — it simply never
+asks for the security checks.
+
+**Failure scenario.** This repository builds SQL by string construction from
+attacker-controlled schema, table, column and filter names (see
+`restheadspec.audit.md` and `common.audit.md`). `gosec`'s `G201`/`G202`
+(SQL string formatting/concatenation) are exactly the rules that would flag a
+new `fmt.Sprintf` into a query, which is the single most likely way a SQL
+injection enters this codebase. Also unenabled and relevant: `G104` (unhandled
+errors — this audit found ~20 discarded errors in `pkg/cache` alone), `G304`
+(file path from variable — relevant to `PathsConfig.Join`, `config.audit.md`
+finding 14), `G402` (bad TLS settings — X6), `G404` (weak random).
+
+**Recommendation.** Add `gosec` to `linters.enable` and triage the initial
+findings. Expect noise on the SQL rules given the architecture; suppress
+individual verified-safe sites with `//nolint:gosec // G201: identifier is
+validated by X` comments that name the invariant, rather than disabling the rule
+globally. That converts each suppression into a reviewable claim.
+
+Consider also `bodyclose`, `rowserrcheck` and `sqlclosecheck` for a
+database-heavy codebase, and `contextcheck` given how many methods here accept a
+`ctx` and ignore it.
+
+---
+
+### X5. Medium — unsynchronized mutable package globals are the dominant pattern
+
+Nine of the twenty-three packages expose mutable process-wide state through
+package-level variables, and most guard it with nothing:
+
+| Package | Global | Guarded? |
+|---|---|---|
+| `pkg/logger` | `Logger *zap.SugaredLogger` (`logger.go:15`), `errorTracker` (`:16`) | **no** — and `Logger` is exported |
+| `pkg/cache` | `defaultCache *Cache` (`cache.go:10`) | **no** |
+| `pkg/config` | `configInstance *Manager` (`manager.go:15`) | **no** |
+| `pkg/tracing` | `tracer` | **yes** *(fixed 2026-09-30)* — `atomic.Pointer` |
+| `pkg/modelregistry` | `defaultRegistry` | **yes** *(fixed 2026-09-30)* — guarded by `registriesMutex`; all access via `GetDefaultRegistry()` |
+| `pkg/metrics` | `globalProvider` (`interfaces.go:50-51`) | **yes** — `globalProviderMu sync.RWMutex` |
+
+`pkg/metrics` is the model the others should follow:
+
+```go
+// pkg/metrics/interfaces.go:50-72
+var (
+	globalProviderMu sync.RWMutex
+	globalProvider   Provider
+)
+
+func SetProvider(p Provider) {
+	globalProviderMu.Lock()
+	globalProvider = p
+	globalProviderMu.Unlock()
+}
+
+func GetProvider() Provider {
+	globalProviderMu.RLock()
+	p := globalProvider
+	globalProviderMu.RUnlock()
+	if p == nil {
+		return &NoOpProvider{}
+	}
+	return p
+}
+```
+
+Note that it also returns a working `NoOpProvider` rather than `nil`, so callers
+need no nil check — the pattern `pkg/logger` and `pkg/cache` should copy.
+
+**Failure scenario.** Beyond the data races in X1, the shared failure mode is
+**lazy initialization on the request path**. `cache.GetDefaultCache()`
+(`cache.go:48`) and `config.GetConfigManager()` (`manager.go:18`) both
+`if x == nil { x = construct() }` with no `sync.Once`. Under concurrent first
+traffic, several instances are constructed and all but one are silently
+discarded, so writes go to an orphaned object — a cache that is permanently 100%
+miss, or two `Manager`s disagreeing about configuration. It presents as "the
+cache doesn't work" with no error anywhere.
+
+`pkg/logger.Logger` being **exported** and mutable is its own hazard: any
+package, or any consumer of this library, can reassign the process logger
+mid-flight while other goroutines are calling `Logger.Infow`.
+
+**Recommendation.** For each global: `atomic.Pointer[T]` for
+single-pointer swaps, `sync.Once` for lazy defaults, `sync.RWMutex` for
+multi-field state. Unexport `logger.Logger` behind accessors. Where a nil global
+is possible, return a no-op implementation instead of `nil`, as
+`pkg/metrics.GetProvider` does.
+
+---
+
+### X6. Medium — insecure transport is the default everywhere
+
+Every network dependency defaults to cleartext, and in two cases there is no way
+to configure otherwise:
+
+| Component | Default | Configurable? | Reference |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| PostgreSQL | `sslmode: disable` (`config/manager.go:242`) | yes, via config | `config.audit.md` finding 3 |
+| OTLP traces | `otlptracegrpc.WithInsecure()` hardcoded (`tracing/tracing.go:41`) *(fixed 2026-09-30: TLS default, `Insecure` opt-in)* | **yes** | `tracing.audit.md` finding 1 |
+| Redis (cache) | no `TLSConfig` set | **no** — `RedisConfig` has no TLS field | `cache.audit.md` finding 15 |
+| Memcache | no TLS | **no** | `cache.audit.md` finding 15 |
+| CORS | `allowed_origins: ["*"]`, `allowed_headers: ["*"]` (`config/manager.go:214-216`) | yes | `config.audit.md` finding 3 |
+| DB user | `user: postgres` with blank password (`config/manager.go:239-240`) | yes | `config.audit.md` finding 3 |
+
+The `tracing.go:41` case is the most pointed, because the code knows better:
+
+```go
+otlptracegrpc.WithInsecure(), // Use WithTLSCredentials in production
+```
+
+The comment names the fix and the config struct provides no way to apply it.
+
+**Failure scenario.** The cache holds `UserContext` — identity and authorization
+data — keyed by the raw bearer token (`security/providers.go:398`). With no TLS,
+anything on the path between the service and Redis can read session contents and
+the `AUTH` password, then **write** a forged `auth:session:<token>` entry.
+`GetOrSet` returns a cache hit without consulting the database, so a forged entry
+is a complete authentication bypass. Meanwhile the trace exporter ships full
+request URLs including query strings (`tracing.audit.md` finding 2) in cleartext
+to the collector.
+
+**Recommendation.** Invert every default: TLS on unless explicitly disabled.
+Concretely — add `TLS`/`TLSSkipVerify`/`TLSCACertFile` to `cache.RedisConfig`
+and `tracing.Config`; change the `sslmode` default to `require`; change
+`cors.allowed_origins` to `[]` and require an explicit list; remove the default
+`postgres`/blank-password credentials so a misconfigured deployment fails to
+start rather than connecting to a local database as a superuser. Add a startup
+validation pass that logs a prominent warning for each insecure setting actually
+in effect.
+
+---
+
+### X7. Medium — panic handling is inconsistent, and where it exists it fails open
+
+Three different conventions coexist:
+
+1. **`logger.CatchPanic(location)`** (`logger/logger.go:184`) — recovers, logs,
+   reports, and **swallows**. Both call sites are security enforcement:
+   `security/provider.go:302` (`ApplyColumnSecurity`) and `:443`
+   (`GetRowSecurityTemplate`). See `logger.audit.md` finding 4.
+2. **`logger.HandlePanic(method, r)`** (`logger/logger.go:197`) — converts the
+   panic to an `error` the caller must handle. This is the correct shape.
+3. **Nothing at all.** `pkg/cache` has zero `recover()` calls in 1 538 lines;
+   so do several other packages.
+
+**Failure scenario (fail-open).** `ApplyColumnSecurity` panics — a nil map, a
+bad type assertion on a rule, a reflection edge case. `CatchPanic` recovers and
+the function returns normally, so the caller believes column security was
+applied. It was not. The response contains the columns the security layer was
+supposed to strip. The panic is logged, but the request succeeds with elevated
+data exposure. A security control whose failure mode is "allow" is the wrong
+default; it must be "deny".
+
+**Failure scenario (panic under a lock).** `pkg/cache` holds `m.mu` across
+`m.items[key] = ...` (`provider_memory.go:111`). After `Close()` sets
+`items = nil` that assignment panics. With no recover in the package the panic
+propagates to whatever handler exists upstream; if that handler recovers, `m.mu`
+is **never unlocked** and every subsequent cache operation blocks forever. The
+process stays alive and wedged — worse than a crash, because health checks that
+do not touch the cache keep passing.
+
+**Recommendation.** Establish one convention and apply it:
+
+- **Request boundaries** (HTTP handlers, event consumers, goroutines): recover,
+  log with stack, report to the error tracker, return 500 / nack. A `go`
+  statement without a deferred recover is a process-kill waiting to happen —
+  `security/providers.go:447` (`go a.updateSessionActivity(...)`) is one.
+- **Security enforcement**: recover, log, and **fail closed** — return an error
+  that the caller must propagate as a denial. Never `CatchPanic`.
+- **Internal helpers**: do not recover. Let the boundary handle it.
+- **Anything holding a lock**: prefer `defer mu.Unlock()` (already the pattern in
+  `pkg/cache`) so a panic cannot leak the lock, and keep panicking code out of
+  critical sections.
+
+Add a `CatchPanicFailClosed(location string, err *error)` helper so the
+fail-closed variant is as easy to reach for as `CatchPanic`.
+
+---
+
+### X8. Medium — attacker data reaches Sentry unscrubbed
+
+Two facts compose badly:
+
+`pkg/logger/logger.go:125-140` — every `Error` (and every `Warn`, `:108-123`)
+forwards the fully-formatted message to the error tracker:
+
+```go
+func Error(template string, args ...interface{}) {
+	ctx, remainingArgs := extractContext(args...)
+	message := fmt.Sprintf(template, remainingArgs...)
+	...
+	if errorTracker != nil {
+		errorTracker.CaptureMessage(ctx, message, errortracking.SeverityError, map[string]interface{}{
+			"process_id": os.Getpid(),
+		})
+	}
+}
+```
+
+And `pkg/errortracking` installs **no `BeforeSend` scrubber**
+(`errortracking.audit.md` finding 1), so the message goes to Sentry verbatim.
+
+Meanwhile error strings across the codebase interpolate attacker-controlled
+values, sometimes secrets:
+
+| Site | Interpolated value |
+|---|---|
+| `cache/cache_manager.go:26`, `:40` | the full cache key — for the session cache, **the raw bearer token** |
+| `security/providers.go:391` | the raw `Authorization` header, logged at `Warn` when multiple tokens are present |
+| `config/manager.go:164` | config file paths |
+| throughout `restheadspec` | schema, table, column and filter values from the request |
+
+**Failure scenario.** `security/providers.go:391` is live today:
+
+```go
+logger.Warn("Multiple authentication tokens provided in Authorization header (%d tokens). This is unusual and may indicate a misconfigured client. Header: %s", len(tokens), sessionToken)
+```
+
+A client sends two bearer tokens. `logger.Warn` formats the full header value
+into the message and forwards it to Sentry, where a **valid session credential**
+is now stored by a third party, visible to everyone with Sentry access, retained
+per Sentry's policy, and replayable for the token's lifetime. No attacker
+sophistication is required — the trigger is a single extra header, and the
+codebase invites it by logging the header contents as the diagnostic.
+
+**Recommendation.**
+
+1. Add a `BeforeSend` hook in `pkg/errortracking` that redacts
+   `Authorization`, `Cookie`, `Set-Cookie`, anything matching
+   `(?i)(token|password|secret|apikey|api_key|bearer)\s*[:=]\s*\S+`, and
+   long high-entropy strings. This is the one change that bounds the whole class.
+2. Never log a credential, even truncated. Change `providers.go:391` to log
+   `len(tokens)` only.
+3. Replace `fmt.Errorf("key not found: %s", key)` with a sentinel
+   `cache.ErrNotFound` (`cache.audit.md` finding 7).
+4. Key the session cache on `sha256(token)`, as
+   `security/keystore_database.go:287` already does for API keys.
+5. Add sampling / rate limiting to the tracker fan-out
+   (`logger.audit.md` finding 3) so an error storm is not also a cost and
+   availability event.
+

+
+### X9. Low — five packages have no tests at all
+
+`pkg/logger`, `pkg/modelregistry`, `pkg/testmodels`, `pkg/tracing` have zero
+`*_test.go` files. `pkg/resolvemcp` has 34 lines, `pkg/metrics` 64,
+`pkg/errortracking` 67, `pkg/cache` 69.
+
+**Failure scenario.** `pkg/modelregistry` is untested and contains this audit's
+only **Critical** authorization finding: `GetModel` returns a "registry locked"
+error under write-lock contention, which `security/hooks.go:274-294` converts
+into `return nil // model not registered, allow by default`
+(`modelregistry.audit.md` finding 1; *fixed 2026-09-30, regression tests added*). A twenty-line test that registers a model
+from one goroutine while reading it from another would demonstrate the fail-open
+immediately. The package guards a security boundary and has never been tested.
+
+`pkg/logger` being untested matters for a different reason: it is imported by
+almost every other package, so a defect there (the format-string sink in `Info`
+and `Debug`, `logger.audit.md` finding 6) is repo-wide.
+
+**Recommendation.** Prioritize by blast radius, not by size:
+
+1. `pkg/modelregistry` — concurrent register/read; assert `GetModelRulesByName`
+   never returns a "locked" error that a caller could read as "not registered".
+2. `pkg/logger` — nil-`Logger` fallback paths, format-string handling, and that
+   `Warn`/`Error` do not forward secrets once a scrubber exists.
+3. `pkg/cache` — concurrent `GetDefaultCache`, the expired-item TOCTOU, and that
+   `tagToKeys` does not grow after eviction.
+4. `pkg/tracing`, `pkg/metrics`, `pkg/errortracking` — construction and no-op
+   paths; these are mostly configuration surfaces.
+
+Combine with X1 and X2: tests that are not run, and tests run without `-race`,
+do not close these gaps.
+
+---
+
+### X10. High — configured subsystems that are never installed
+
+Three separate subsystems are fully built — typed config, defaults, tests,
+documentation — and then never connected to anything that runs.
+
+**1. Every protective middleware.** `pkg/middleware` provides rate limiting, IP
+blacklisting, request-size limiting and input sanitization. Non-test callers:
+
+| Constructor | Non-test callers |
+|---|---|
+| `middleware.NewRateLimiter` | **0** |
+| `middleware.NewIPBlacklist` | **0** |
+| `middleware.NewRequestSizeLimiter` | **0** |
+| `middleware.DefaultSanitizer` | **0** outside the package |
+| `middleware.StrictSanitizer` | **0** |
+| `middleware.PanicRecovery` | 1 — `pkg/server/manager.go:466` |
+
+`pkg/server/manager.go` is the only file outside the package that imports it, and
+only for `PanicRecovery`. The config that exists to drive the rest —
+`MiddlewareConfig.RateLimitRPS`, `.RateLimitBurst`, `.MaxRequestSize`
+(`pkg/config/config.go:123-125`), defaulted at `pkg/config/manager.go:209-211` —
+has **no reader anywhere in the module**.
+
+**2. The metrics provider.** `metrics.SetProvider` and
+`metrics.NewPrometheusProvider` have **0 non-test callers**, so
+`metrics.GetProvider()` returns `&NoOpProvider{}`
+(`pkg/metrics/interfaces.go:63-72`) for the process lifetime. Every instrumented
+call site in the repository — 39 DB-query sites in
+`pkg/common/adapters/database`, the HTTP middleware, the event-broker counters,
+and the sole `RecordPanic` call at `pkg/middleware/panic.go:19` — writes to a
+no-op. `MetricsConfig.Enabled` and `.Provider` are likewise never read, and
+`pkg/config` has no `metrics` section at all.
+
+**3. The configured CORS policy.** `config.CORSConfig`
+(`pkg/config/config.go:128-134`), defaulted at `pkg/config/manager.go:214-217`,
+is never read. The policy that actually applies comes from a **different type of
+the same name**, `common.CORSConfig`, built by `common.DefaultCORSConfig()`
+(`pkg/common/cors.go:19-48`), which derives allowed origins from the configured
+server instances and the host's local IPs and ignores `cors.allowed_origins`
+entirely. It is called from ten sites across `pkg/resolvespec` and
+`pkg/restheadspec`.
+
+**Failure scenario.** Each of these is a silent, config-shaped lie, and they fail
+in the same way: the operator's mental model of the deployment is wrong in the
+direction of believing a control exists.
+
+- **Under the hostile-client threat model there is no rate limit and no
+  request-body limit in the serving path.** `max_request_size: 10485760` is
+  configured and unenforced, so a single unauthenticated `POST` with a
+  multi-gigabyte body is read into memory and OOM-kills the process; unlimited
+  request rate exhausts the 25-connection default pool
+  (`pkg/config/manager.go:224`) just as cheaply. Both are one-line attacks
+  against controls the configuration says are active. An operator lowering
+  `rate_limit_rps` during an incident observes no change and will reasonably
+  conclude the attack exceeds the limit rather than that no limit exists.
+- **There is no telemetry with which to notice any of it.** No request counts, no
+  latency histograms, no `panics_total`, no DB-query metrics — the one signal
+  that would show an attack in progress is wired end to end and discarded at the
+  last step. This is also why the metrics cardinality defects
+  (`metrics.audit.md` findings 2 and 5) are only latent: they become live the
+  moment someone installs the provider that the config implies is already there.
+- **Tightening `cors.allowed_origins` does nothing.** The value is ignored, so a
+  hardening change lands, reviews clean, deploys, and changes no behaviour. Two
+  types named `CORSConfig` in two packages is the mechanism; nothing warns.
+
+The common thread is that none of this fails visibly. It compiles, the tests pass
+(`pkg/middleware` has the repo's best test ratio — 1 127 test lines to 799 code
+lines — all of it exercising code nothing calls), CI is green, and the config file
+documents features that are absent. Under X2 these packages are not even in the
+tested set, so the tests that do exist are not run.
+
+**Recommendation.**
+
+1. **Wire the middleware chain** in `pkg/server` from `MiddlewareConfig`,
+   outermost first: size limiter → rate limiter → blacklist → `PanicRecovery`
+   (innermost, so it sees handler panics; `trackRequestsMiddleware` at
+   `manager.go:540` correctly stays outside). Fix the trusted-proxy handling
+   (`middleware.audit.md` findings 2 and 3) **before** mounting the two IP-based
+   layers, and do not mount the sanitizer at all until findings 5–7 there are
+   resolved — as written it corrupts filter values and can synthesize a
+   `javascript:` URI.
+2. **Install a metrics provider** from config, gated on `metrics.enabled`, and
+   add the missing `metrics` section to `pkg/config`. Bound the label sets first
+   (`metrics.audit.md` findings 2 and 5) — installing the provider as-is converts
+   two latent cardinality DoS findings into live ones.
+3. **Delete the duplicate `CORSConfig`** or make `common.DefaultCORSConfig()`
+   read `config.CORSConfig`. Two types with one name, one of them ignored, is a
+   trap regardless of which way it is resolved.
+4. **Make the class of defect detectable.** Log at startup which middleware,
+   metrics provider and CORS policy are active, so an unwired subsystem is
+   visible in the first ten lines of a boot log instead of during an incident.
+   A CI check that every `mapstructure` field in `pkg/config` has at least one
+   reader would have caught all three of these; so would enabling `unused` in
+   `.golangci.json` for exported-but-unreferenced constructors.
+
+---
+
+## Recommended order of work
+
+1. **X2 + X1** — point `go test` at `./pkg/...` and add a `-race` job. Everything
+   else in this audit is easier to verify once these exist, and they will
+   surface the six data races on their own.
+2. **X3** — remove `continue-on-error` from the integration `go test` steps.
+3. **X10** — mount the request-size limiter and rate limiter. Until this is
+   done the service has no volumetric protection at all, and no metrics with
+   which to see that. Fix `middleware.audit.md` findings 2 and 3 in the same
+   change, since mounting the IP-based layers without them adds attack surface.
+4. **X8 item 1 and 2** — add the Sentry `BeforeSend` scrubber and stop logging
+   the `Authorization` header. Small, self-contained, stops an active credential
+   leak.
+5. **X7** — decide the panic convention; make the two `CatchPanic` sites in
+   `pkg/security` fail closed, and stop returning the panic value to the client
+   (`pkg/middleware/panic.go:28`).
+6. **X5** — fix the globals in `pkg/logger`, `pkg/config`, `pkg/cache`
+   (the shared dependencies) first.
+7. **X6** — add TLS fields and invert the defaults.
+8. **X4** — enable `gosec` and triage.
+9. **X9** — backfill tests, in the order listed above.

+
+## Summary
+
+`pkg/common` is the shared core behind every spec handler. It contains the
+`Database` / `SelectQuery` abstraction and its Bun, GORM and raw-`pgx`
+adapters, the request-option types, column validation, JSON-column parsing,
+nested (recursive) CRUD, CORS, and a set of SQL string helpers. The spec
+packages feed **client-supplied raw SQL fragments** through those helpers:
+`x-custom-sql-w`, `x-custom-sql-or`, `x-custom-sql-join`, preload `where`,
+sort expressions and cursor filters.
+
+The central problem is that **`SanitizeWhereClause` / `validateWhereClauseSecurity`
+is a keyword denylist applied to raw SQL**, and the result is concatenated
+straight into the query. A denylist can't make arbitrary client SQL safe, and
+this one misses subqueries, functions, comments and parenthesis balancing.
+With the helpers exactly as the handlers call them, a client can:
+
+- escape the outer parentheses and OR past every filter the server adds
+  afterwards (**row security, tenant filters, the PK filter**). This is
+  verified. Row security is inert anyway today (`security.audit.md` finding 2),
+  but this bug will defeat it as soon as that is fixed;
+- read any table the DB role can see through a subquery;
+- stall a connection with `pg_sleep`;
+- bypass the keyword list with a comment (`delete/**/from`).
+
+Meanwhile, legitimate filters that merely *contain* a word like `update` are
+silently dropped, and the query runs **unfiltered** (fail-open).
+
+Other headline findings:
+
+- `SetCORSHeaders` reflects **any** Origin with `Allow-Credentials: true` and
+  ignores `AllowedOrigins`.
+- Nested CRUD updates and deletes child rows by primary key alone. A client can
+  modify or delete (or re-parent) any row in a related table.
+- Sort validation lets arbitrary SQL through whenever a custom join has no
+  alias.
+
+On the question that started this audit (idle connections becoming unusable),
+the relevant part of `pkg/common` is the adapters' reconnect logic (finding 5).
+It is only partly wired into the Bun and pgx adapters, and it's what calls
+`dbmanager`'s destructive `Reconnect` (`dbmanager.audit.md` findings 1–2).
+
+## Findings
+
+| # | Severity | Axis | Finding |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | **Critical** | security | Client raw-SQL WHERE (`x-custom-sql-w`/`-or`, preload where, cursor) is protected only by a keyword denylist: parenthesis escape defeats server-added filters; subqueries, `pg_sleep` and comment bypasses all pass (verified) |
+| 2 | **Critical** | security | `SetCORSHeaders` reflects any `Origin` and sends `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true`; `AllowedOrigins` is never consulted |
+| 3 | **High** | security | Sort validation: an empty join alias makes `strings.Contains(col, "")` accept **any** sort string, and `(…)` sort expressions allow arbitrary subqueries (verified) |
+| 4 | **High** | security | Nested CRUD (`recursive_crud.go`) updates and deletes child rows by `WHERE pk = ?` only, with no parent/ownership constraint; a client-supplied `_request` switches the operation per object |
+| 5 | **High** | locking / availability | Adapter reconnect is inconsistent (Bun and pgx query builders never reconnect) and, where it exists, calls dbmanager's pool-closing `Reconnect`; `BunAdapter.CommitTx`/`RollbackTx` are silent no-ops |
+| 6 | **Medium** | security / correctness | `SanitizeWhereClause` fails open: on a denylist hit it returns `""`, so the client's filter is dropped and the query returns unfiltered rows; false positives on ordinary data (`'awaiting update'`, `last_update`) |
+| 7 | **Medium** | security | Any column name starting with `cql` passes `ValidateColumn` unconditionally |
+| 8 | **Medium** | slowness | Request bodies are read with unbounded `io.ReadAll` in both router adapters |
+| 9 | **Medium** | logging | Failed queries log the fully interpolated SQL, and nested CRUD logs full row data, at `Error`, which is forwarded to Sentry (`_CROSS-CUTTING.audit.md` X8) |
+| 10 | **Low** | correctness | `stripEmptyComparisonClauses` regexes rewrite SQL without respecting string literals; quote tracking ignores `''`; `qualifyColumnInCondition` compiles a regex per call |
+| 11 | **Low** | locking | Adapter fields read without their mutex (`BunAdapter.NewSelect` `db: b.db`, `DriverName`, `PgSQLAdapter.GetUnderlyingDB`) race with `reconnectDB` |
+| 12 | **Info** | — | `json_column.go` / `json_condition.go` are well built: allowlisted casts, path bound as a single `text[]` parameter, identifiers validated and quoted |
+
+---
+
+### 1. Critical — Client raw-SQL WHERE is guarded only by a keyword denylist
+
+`sql_helpers.go:118-161` (`validateWhereClauseSecurity`), `169-305`
+(`SanitizeWhereClause`), `375-395` (`EnsureOuterParentheses`).
+
+Call sites that pass **client-controlled** strings:
+
+| Source | Call site |
+|---|---|
+| `x-custom-sql-w` | `restheadspec/handler.go:692-699` → `query.Where(...)` |
+| `x-custom-sql-or` | `restheadspec/handler.go:703-710` → `query.WhereOr(...)` |
+| `x-custom-sql-join` | `restheadspec/headers.go:666`, `1330` (sanitized with `tableName ""`) |
+| preload `where` | `resolvespec/handler.go:2386, 2458`; `restheadspec/handler.go:618, 1170` |
+| cursor filters | `resolvespec/handler.go:458`; `restheadspec/handler.go:916`; `resolvemcp/handler.go:304` |
+
+The pipeline is `AddTablePrefixToColumns` → `SanitizeWhereClause` →
+`EnsureOuterParentheses` → `query.Where(s)`, with **no bind arguments**. The
+only security check is a substring search for `delete `, `update `, `drop `,
+`;delete`, and similar.
+
+A probe reproduced the handler pipeline and then appended a server-side filter
+`Where("tenant = ?", 5)`, which is what a row-security or tenant hook does:
+
+| Client `x-custom-sql-w` | Resulting SQL / effect |
+|---|---|
+| `1=1)) OR ((1=1` | `WHERE ((1=1)) OR ((1=1)) AND (tenant = 5)`: **every tenant's rows**, because `AND` binds tighter than `OR` |
+| `id = 1 or (select count(*) from pg_shadow) > 0` | passes unchanged, so boolean-oracle exfiltration from any readable table works |
+| `id = 1 and pg_sleep(5) is not null` | passes; each request pins a pool connection for as long as the client likes |
+| `id = 1; delete/**/from items` | passes, because the comment defeats `"delete "` (whether it executes depends on the driver's multi-statement handling) |
+
+`EnsureOuterParentheses` only checks whether the string *already* starts and
+ends with a matching pair. It never checks that the parentheses inside are
+balanced, which is what the escape relies on. `x-custom-sql-or` is worse by
+design: `WhereOr` ORs the client clause against **every** condition already on
+the query, so it needs no escape at all to widen a server-side filter.
+
+Row security currently has no effect (`security.audit.md` finding 2). Fixing
+that type assertion will **not** give tenant isolation while these headers
+exist, and the same escape defeats the server's own PK scoping
+(`restheadspec/handler.go:759-766`).
+
+**Failure scenario.** An authenticated user of tenant A sends
+`X-Custom-SQL-W: 1=1)) OR ((1=1` on a list endpoint and receives tenant B's
+rows. Or they send
+`X-Custom-SQL-W: (select substr(passwd,1,1) from pg_shadow limit 1) = 'm'` and
+extract data one character at a time.
+
+**Recommendation.** Stop accepting raw SQL from clients. Remove the
+`x-custom-sql-*` headers from the public surface, or gate them behind an
+explicit server-side allowlist per endpoint. Route client filtering through
+the structured `FilterOption` path, which validates column names and binds
+values. If raw fragments have to stay for trusted internal callers:
+
+- parse them properly (for example with `pg_query_go`) and allow only column
+  references, literals and comparison operators;
+- reject subqueries and function calls;
+- verify that parentheses are balanced outside string literals;
+- apply server-side security predicates last, as a wrapper
+  `WHERE (server) AND (client)`, and never let `WhereOr` attach at top level.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Critical — CORS reflects every Origin with credentials
+
+`cors.go:117-155`:
+
+```go
+origin := r.Header("Origin")
+if origin == "" {
+	origin = "*"
+} else { ... Vary: Origin }
+w.SetHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", origin)
+...
+requestedHeaders := r.Header("Access-Control-Request-Headers")
+if requestedHeaders != "" {
+	w.SetHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", requestedHeaders)
+}
+...
+if origin != "*" {
+	w.SetHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true")
+}
+```
+
+`DefaultCORSConfig` (`cors.go:19-48`) carefully builds `AllowedOrigins` from the
+server config, and `SetCORSHeaders` **never reads it**. Any site the victim
+visits can make credentialed cross-origin requests and read the responses.
+Allowed request headers are also reflected, so `Authorization` and every
+`X-Custom-SQL-*` header pass preflight. `SetCORSHeaders` is called on every
+route in `resolvespec/resolvespec.go` (lines 56-347), and `restheadspec` follows
+the same pattern.
+
+**Failure scenario.** A user logged in through cookie auth (`SetSessionCookie`/`GetSessionCookie`,
+`pkg/security/middleware.go:512-540`) visits `evil.example`. Its script calls
+`fetch("https://api/…/users", {credentials:"include"})` and reads every record
+the user can see. Combined with finding 1, it can read other tenants' records
+too.
+
+**Recommendation.** Send `Allow-Origin: <origin>` and `Allow-Credentials`
+only when `origin` is in `config.AllowedOrigins`, matched exactly. Otherwise
+omit the CORS headers. Check requested headers against `AllowedHeaders`
+instead of echoing them. Build `exposeHeaders` in a fresh slice: `append` onto
+`config.AllowedHeaders` can write into a shared backing array.
+
+---
+
+### 3. High — Sort validation bypasses
+
+`validation.go:271-301`:
+
+```go
+foundJoin := false
+for _, j := range options.JoinAliases {
+	if strings.Contains(sort.Column, j) {   // j may be ""
+```
+
+`restheadspec/headers.go:674-678` deliberately appends `""` to `JoinAliases`
+when `extractJoinAlias` can't find an alias (for example
+`LEFT JOIN t ON …` with no alias, or a LATERAL join without one).
+`strings.Contains(x, "")` is always `true`, so **any** sort string is
+accepted. `restheadspec/handler.go:790-793` then passes anything containing a
+`.` or wrapped in `(…)` to `OrderExpr` **verbatim**. Even with a real alias,
+the check is a substring test, so a sort like `j.id, (select …)` passes for
+alias `j`.
+
+Separately, `(…)` sort expressions are checked by `IsSafeSortExpression`
+(`validation.go:381-427`), another denylist. It blocks DML keywords, comments
+and `;`, but allows subqueries and functions.
+
+Probe results: with `JoinAliases: [""]`, sort `x.id, (select pg_sleep(10))`
+was kept. With no joins, sort `(select passwd from pg_shadow limit 1)` was kept.
+
+**Failure scenario.** A client sends a custom join with no alias plus an
+arbitrary ORDER BY expression, which gives injection in ORDER BY: time-based
+DoS, or data extraction via `ORDER BY (CASE WHEN (subquery) THEN a ELSE b END)`.
+
+**Recommendation.** Skip empty aliases. Match `alias + "."` as a prefix, then
+validate the column after the dot against the joined table. Drop client
+supplied sort *expressions*, or restrict them to a server-registered set
+(the `cql` computed columns already provide this).
+
+---
+
+### 4. High — Nested CRUD modifies arbitrary related rows
+
+`recursive_crud.go:64-67, 144-196, 344-380, 395-520`.
+
+- Children are updated with `UPDATE <related> SET … WHERE pk = ?`, deleted with
+  `DELETE FROM <related> WHERE pk = ?`, and both use the child's PK **from the
+  request body**. Nothing checks that the child belongs to the parent being
+  written or to the caller's tenant.
+- For updates, the parent's FK is injected into the child data
+  (`recursive_crud.go:495-520`), so updating a foreign child **moves it under
+  the attacker's parent** as well.
+- `_request` (`recursive_crud.go:64-67, 205-212`) lets the client choose
+  `insert`/`update`/`delete` for each nested object, independent of the HTTP
+  method or the operation the top-level handler authorised.
+- These statements go straight to `p.db`, so the spec handlers' Before*/After*
+  hooks, and any row-security or audit hooks, don't run for nested rows.
+
+**Failure scenario.** A client sends a `PUT /orders/1` whose body includes
+`"lines": [{"id": 9999, "_request": "delete"}]`. Row 9999 of `order_lines` is
+deleted even if it belongs to another customer's order.
+
+**Recommendation.** For has-many and has-one children, add
+`AND <fk> = <parentID>` to update and delete statements, and treat
+`RowsAffected() == 0` as a forbidden or not-found error. Run the same hook
+chain (including row security) for nested rows. Allow `_request` only for
+operations the top-level request is authorised to perform.
+
+---
+
+### 5. High — Reconnect logic is partial, and it triggers pool destruction
+
+`adapters/database/bun.go:131-143, 167-186, 226-273, 1298-1318`;
+`pgsql.go:58-79, 81, 134, 160, 220`; `gorm.go:55, 122-134`.
+
+- **Coverage is uneven.** `BunAdapter` only retries after reconnecting in
+  `Exec`, `Query`, `BeginTx` and `RunInTransaction`. `NewSelect`, `NewInsert`,
+  `NewUpdate` and `NewDelete` capture `getDB()` once, and `BunSelectQuery.Scan`,
+  `ScanModel`, `Count` and `Exists` call bun directly with no retry. Those are
+  the paths every read handler uses. `PgSQLAdapter` query builders have no
+  reconnect either. Only `GormAdapter` wires `reconnect` into its
+  select, insert, update and delete builders.
+- **Where it exists, it's harmful.** `reconnectDB` calls the dbmanager factory,
+  which runs `sqlConnection.Reconnect` and closes the pool shared by every
+  other adapter and handle (`dbmanager.audit.md` findings 1–2). Concurrent
+  failures each call the factory.
+- **Detection is a substring match.** `isDBClosed` (`pgsql.go:72`) matches
+  `"sql: database is closed"`. That only happens *after* someone closed the
+  pool, so the reconnect mechanism mainly exists to recover from damage it
+  causes itself. It does nothing for the real idle-socket failure (a hang, or
+  `driver.ErrBadConn`, which `database/sql` already retries).
+- `BunAdapter.CommitTx` / `RollbackTx` (`bun.go:239-249`) return `nil` without
+  doing anything. A caller using the `BeginTx`-less path gets
+  "committed" when nothing happened. `BunTxAdapter` is correct.
+
+**Recommendation.** Remove adapter-level reconnect entirely and rely on
+`database/sql`'s pool (see the fix order in `dbmanager.audit.md`). Make
+`BunAdapter.CommitTx`/`RollbackTx` return an explicit
+"not in a transaction" error. Add a per-query `context.WithTimeout` in the
+adapters as the single place where query deadlines are enforced.
+
+---
+
+### 6. Medium — `SanitizeWhereClause` fails open and has false positives
+
+`sql_helpers.go:176-179`:
+
+```go
+if err := validateWhereClauseSecurity(where); err != nil {
+	logger.Debug("Security validation failed for WHERE clause: %v", err)
+	return ""
+}
+```
+
+Every caller treats `""` as "no filter" and skips `query.Where`. So a clause
+the sanitizer rejects is **removed**, and the request runs unfiltered instead
+of failing. The denylist is a substring match on the whole clause, string
+literals included, so ordinary filters trip it. The probe showed
+`status = 'awaiting update approval'` and `last_update > '2020-01-01'` both
+returning `""`, which gives an unfiltered list. For a preload `where` or a
+cursor filter, that means returning rows the client asked to exclude, or
+breaking pagination.
+
+**Recommendation.** Return an error and make the handler respond `400`. Never
+turn a rejected filter into "no filter".
+
+---
+
+### 7. Medium — `cql*` columns bypass column validation
+
+`validation.go:107-110` accepts any column that starts with `cql`
+(case-insensitive), with no further checks. The probe showed
+`IsValidColumn("cql1); drop")` returning `true`. The computed-column mechanism
+only ever generates `cql1…cqlN` (`restheadspec/headers.go:871, 1380`). Whether a
+client-supplied `cql…` string reaches SQL unquoted depends on the downstream
+handler (`restheadspec/handler.go:490-509`, `cursor.go:189`). The validator
+shouldn't be where that decision is made.
+
+**Recommendation.** Accept only `^cql[0-9]+$`, and only when that computed
+column was actually registered for the request.
+
+---
+
+### 8. Medium — Unbounded request body reads
+
+`adapters/router/mux.go:101-115` uses `io.ReadAll(h.req.Body)` with no
+`http.MaxBytesReader`, and `bunrouter.go:102-115` delegates to it. The
+request-size middleware exists but isn't mounted (`_CROSS-CUTTING.audit.md`
+X10), so a single request can make the process buffer gigabytes.
+
+**Recommendation.** Wrap the body in `http.MaxBytesReader` inside the adapter,
+with a configurable limit (for example 10 MB) and a sensible default.
+
+---
+
+### 9. Medium — Sensitive data in error logs
+
+- `bun.go:1311-1315` (and the equivalent in `ScanModel`/`Count`, and in
+  `pgsql.go` / `gorm.go`) logs `b.query.String()`, the SQL with **all argument
+  values interpolated**, at `Error` on every failed query. That includes
+  filter values, emails, and tokens used as lookup keys.
+- `recursive_crud.go` logs `data=%+v` (whole rows, including password or secret
+  columns) at `Error` on every failed nested write (lines 121, 153, 312, 342,
+  352, 509, 528, 550).
+- `logger.Error` is forwarded to Sentry unscrubbed (`_CROSS-CUTTING.audit.md`
+  X8), and a hostile client can trigger failing queries at will.
+
+**Recommendation.** Log the query with placeholders, not interpolated. Log
+column names, not values. Put full dumps behind a debug flag.
+
+---
+
+### 10. Low — Fragile SQL string rewriting
+
+- `reEmptyCompMid` / `reEmptyCompEnd` (`sql_helpers.go:66-80`) run over the
+  whole SQL string, including string literals and subqueries, and silently
+  delete text that matches `col = and`. That can change a query's meaning.
+- The quote tracking in `splitByAND` / `findOperatorOutsideParentheses` /
+  `stripWrappingParens` toggles on every `'`, so an escaped `''` inside a
+  literal flips the state.
+- `qualifyColumnInCondition` (`sql_helpers.go:751-760`) compiles a regex on
+  every call in the per-request path.
+
+---
+
+### 11. Low — Unsynchronised adapter field reads
+
+`BunAdapter` protects `db` with `dbMu` in `getDB`/`reconnectDB`. But
+`NewSelect` stores `db: b.db` (`bun.go:170`, used for count queries), and
+`DriverName` reads `b.db` (`bun.go:280`), both without the lock.
+`PgSQLAdapter.GetUnderlyingDB` (`pgsql.go:220`) does the same. These are data
+races with `reconnectDB`, and `-race` would flag them
+(`_CROSS-CUTTING.audit.md` X1). In practice the count query can run against
+the old, closed pool.
+
+---
+
+### 12. Info — JSON column parsing is sound
+
+`json_column.go` / `json_condition.go` are a good model for how the rest of
+this package should handle client input:
+
+- The base column must match `^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$` and is quoted with
+  `QuoteIdent`.
+- Casts go through an allowlist.
+- The JSON path is always bound as one `?::text[]` parameter, with depth and
+  segment-size limits.
+- The dotted shorthand counts as JSON only when reflection confirms that the
+  base is a JSON column.
+- The alias is validated and quoted.
+
+No findings.
+
+---
+
+## Panic handling
+
+The adapter methods (`Scan`, `ScanModel`, `Count`, `Exec`, `Query`,
+`RunInTransaction`) recover and convert panics with `logger.HandlePanic`.
+`PgSQLAdapter.RunInTransaction` rolls back on panic before re-raising or
+converting it. `BunAdapter.RunInTransaction` relies on bun's `RunInTx`, which
+also rolls back. No panic paths were found in `sql_helpers.go`,
+`validation.go` or the JSON parser that are reachable from client input.
+Slicing is length-guarded. `recursive_crud.go` recurses over the model's
+relation graph. For self-referential models, depth is bounded only by the
+JSON decoder's nesting limit, which makes it a slowness issue rather than a
+crash.
+
+## Test coverage
+
+`sql_helpers_test.go` and `validation_test.go` test the *intended* behaviour
+of the sanitizer and validator. None of them test hostile inputs. Each probe
+case in findings 1, 3, 6 and 7 is a one-line table entry and should be added
+as a regression test that asserts rejection. `cors.go` and `recursive_crud.go`
+have no security-focused tests.

+
+- **Date:** 2026-09-29
+- **Scope:** `pkg/config/{config,dbmanager,manager,paths,server}.go` (1023 LOC source, 608 LOC tests)
+- **Axes:** thread locking/waiting · slowness · security · panic handling & logging
+- **Threat model:** hostile internet client. Config itself is operator-controlled, so the security
+  focus here is **insecure defaults that the internet-facing layers inherit**, plus secret handling.
+
+## Summary
+
+Viper-backed configuration with a singleton `Manager`, a large `setDefaults` table, and per-section
+validators. Two serious issues:
+
+1. **`Manager` is a data race by construction.** It wraps a `*viper.Viper`, which has **no internal
+   locking** (verified: no `sync.Mutex`/`RWMutex` anywhere in `viper@v1.21.0/viper.go`'s `Viper`
+   struct), and exposes `Get`/`Set` as concurrently-callable methods on an unsynchronised lazy
+   singleton. A concurrent `Set` + `Get` is a concurrent map write → **`fatal error`, not a
+   recoverable panic**.
+2. **The default configuration is insecure on every axis that matters** — wildcard CORS,
+   `sslmode=disable`, `user: postgres` with a blank password — and `Load()` silently succeeds when
+   no config file is found, so a misdeployment lands on exactly those defaults with no warning.
+
+| # | Severity | Axis | Finding |
+|---|----------|------|---------|
+| 1 | **Critical** | Locking | `Manager.Set`/`Get` over a lock-free `*viper.Viper` → concurrent map write → process-fatal |
+| 2 | **High** | Locking | `GetConfigManager()` is an unsynchronised lazy singleton; `NewManager()` also clobbers the global as a side effect |
+| 3 | **High** | Security | **OPEN (deferred)** Insecure defaults: `cors.allowed_origins: ["*"]`, `allowed_headers: ["*"]`, `sslmode: disable`, `user: postgres` + blank password |
+| 4 | **High** | Security | `SaveConfig` writes all secrets in plaintext at mode `0644` (viper default, never overridden) |
+| 5 | Medium | Security | `AddConfigPath(".")` is searched first — CWD config injection |
+| 6 | Medium | Observability | `Load()` swallows `ConfigFileNotFoundError` with no log at all |
+| 7 | Medium | Correctness | `PathsConfig.Set` on a nil map panics; every sibling method nil-guards |
+| 8 | Medium | Locking | `PathsConfig` is a bare `map[string]string` with a mutating `Set` — concurrent access is process-fatal |
+| 9 | Medium | Slowness | `GetIPs()` does an uncontexted `net.LookupIP` — blocks on the resolver timeout |
+| 10 | Medium | Correctness | `SetConfig` does a pointless `Unmarshal` into a discarded map whose error fails the call |
+| 11 | Low | Panic | `GetIPs()` recovers to `fmt.Println`, bypassing the logger, and returns zeroed named results |
+| 12 | Low | Security | No validation of `middleware.*` / `event_broker.worker_count` — `0` workers is accepted |
+| 13 | Low | Correctness | `ServersConfig.GetDefault()` returns a pointer to a copy of a map value |
+| 14 | Low | Security | `PathsConfig.Join` does not confine the result to the base path |

+## Resolution status (2026-09-30)
+
+- **#1** — Fixed: `sync.RWMutex` guards every viper access, options included
+- **#2** — Fixed: mutex-guarded singleton; `NewManager` no longer touches the global (new `SetConfigManager` publishes explicitly)
+- **#4** — Fixed: `SetConfigPermissions(0o600)` plus `chmod 0600` after write (secrets are not stripped)
+- **#5** — Fixed: search order is `/etc/resolvespec`, `$HOME/.resolvespec`, `./config`, `.` (CWD last, not dropped)
+- **#6** — Partly fixed: `ConfigFileUsed()` added; no log line because `pkg/config` cannot import `logger` (import cycle)
+- **#7** — Fixed: `Set` has a pointer receiver and allocates
+- **#8** — Not fixed: still a bare map; `Set` documented as not concurrency-safe
+- **#9** — Fixed: `LookupIPAddr` with a 2s timeout, fallback normalised to bare IPs and populates the slice
+- **#10** — Fixed: dead `Unmarshal` removed, `SetConfig` is atomic
+- **#11** — Fixed: recover removed (nothing in the function can panic)
+- **#12** — Partly fixed: `Config.Validate()` added, but it is not called from `GetConfig()`. The `*` CORS+credentials check is not implemented
+- **#13** — Documented only: `GetDefault` returns a pointer to a copy
+- **#14** — Fixed: `Join` errors if the result escapes the base
+- **#3** — Open: default flips deferred by decision (breaking change).
+- Tests: `pkg/config/hardening_test.go`.
+
+---
+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. `Manager` exposes a lock-free viper as a concurrent API (Critical, Locking)
+
+`manager.go:10-13`, `manager.go:133-158`
+
+```go
+type Manager struct {
+	v *viper.Viper
+}
+...
+func (m *Manager) Get(key string) interface{}    { return m.v.Get(key) }
+func (m *Manager) GetString(key string) string   { return m.v.GetString(key) }
+func (m *Manager) Set(key string, value interface{}) { m.v.Set(key, value) }
+```
+
+`viper.Viper` carries its configuration in plain maps (`override`, `config`, `defaults`, `aliases`,
+…) and has **no mutex**. Verified against the module in use:
+
+```
+$ grep -n 'sync\.\|Lock()' $(go env GOMODCACHE)/github.com/spf13/viper@v1.21.0/viper.go
+319:	initWG := sync.WaitGroup{}      # inside WatchConfig only
+340:		eventsWG := sync.WaitGroup{}  # inside WatchConfig only
+```
+
+`Set` writes to `v.override`; `Get` reads across those maps. Because `GetConfigManager()` hands the
+*same* `*Manager` to every caller, any code path that calls `Manager.Set` at runtime while another
+goroutine reads config is a concurrent map read/write. Go's runtime detects this and issues
+`fatal error: concurrent map read and map write` — which **`recover()` cannot catch**, so none of
+the panic handlers elsewhere in the codebase will save the process.
+
+This is latent-but-loaded: it needs one runtime `Set` to become a crash. `SetConfig`
+(`manager.go:107-131`) performs eleven `m.v.Set` calls, so any dynamic reconfiguration triggers it.
+
+**Recommendation:** add a `sync.RWMutex` to `Manager` and take it in every method that touches
+`m.v` (including the `Option` functions at `manager.go:60-85`, which also mutate viper). Better:
+load once into an immutable `*Config` at startup and pass that value around, keeping `Manager`
+confined to startup.
+
+### 2. Unsynchronised lazy singleton (High, Locking)
+
+`manager.go:15-45`
+
+```go
+var configInstance *Manager
+
+func GetConfigManager() *Manager {
+	if configInstance == nil {
+		configInstance = NewManager()
+	}
+	return configInstance
+}
+```
+
+Classic check-then-act race: two concurrent first calls both see `nil`, both build a `Manager`,
+and the two callers get *different* instances — so a `Set` through one is invisible through the
+other. The unsynchronised pointer write races with the read.
+
+Worse, `NewManager()` (`manager.go:27-45`) assigns `configInstance = &Manager{v: v}` at line 43 as
+a **side effect**. So a caller who deliberately builds an isolated manager silently replaces the
+global one, and `NewManagerWithOptions` (`manager.go:48-54`) publishes a half-configured manager to
+the global *before* applying its options — another goroutine can observe the instance mid-mutation.
+
+**Recommendation:** `sync.Once` for the singleton; remove the global assignment from `NewManager`.
+
+### 3. Insecure-by-default configuration (High, Security)
+
+`manager.go:203-247`:
+
+```go
+v.SetDefault("cors.allowed_origins", []string{"*"})
+v.SetDefault("cors.allowed_headers", []string{"*"})
+...
+v.SetDefault("dbmanager.connections.default.user", "postgres")
+v.SetDefault("dbmanager.connections.default.password", "")
+v.SetDefault("dbmanager.connections.default.sslmode", "disable")
+```
+
+Each of these is inherited by an internet-facing layer:
+
+- **`allowed_origins: ["*"]` + `allowed_headers: ["*"]`** — any origin may make cross-origin calls
+  with arbitrary headers. Whether this is exploitable depends on whether the CORS middleware also
+  sets `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials`; see `audit/pkg/middleware.audit.md` for that
+  determination. Even without credentials, wildcard origin plus wildcard headers defeats any
+  header-based CSRF defence and lets a malicious page read responses from a
+  network-position-authenticated deployment (IP allowlisted, mTLS-terminated, VPN).
+- **`sslmode: disable`** — DB traffic unencrypted by default. Every row that crosses the wire,
+  including whatever the internet-facing handlers select, is plaintext on the network.
+- **`user: postgres` with an empty password** — the default connection targets the PostgreSQL
+  superuser. Combined with the identifier-handling concerns in
+  `audit/pkg/common.audit.md` / `audit/pkg/restheadspec.audit.md`, running as superuser removes the
+  last line of defence (least-privilege) against a query-construction bug.
+
+Because of finding 6, a deployment with a missing or misnamed config file runs on **all** of these
+simultaneously and reports success.
+
+**Recommendation:** default to `sslmode: require`, no default DB user/password (fail loudly if
+unset), and `cors.allowed_origins: []` with wildcard requiring an explicit opt-in. Add a
+`Config.Validate()` that refuses `allowed_origins: ["*"]` together with credentials.
+
+### 4. `SaveConfig` writes secrets in plaintext at 0644 (High, Security)
+
+`manager.go:160-166`
+
+```go
+func (m *Manager) SaveConfig(path string) error {
+	if err := m.v.WriteConfigAs(path); err != nil { ... }
+}
+```
+
+`WriteConfigAs` serialises the **entire** merged configuration. That includes
+`dbmanager.connections.*.password`, `cache.redis.password`, `event_broker.redis.password` and
+`error_tracking.dsn` (a Sentry DSN is a credential).
+
+Viper writes with `v.configPermissions`, which defaults to `0o644`
+(`viper@v1.21.0/viper.go:198`). `SetConfigPermissions` is **never called anywhere in this repo**
+(verified by grep), so the file is world-readable. Any local user or any other container sharing
+the mount can read the DB superuser password.
+
+**Recommendation:** call `v.SetConfigPermissions(0o600)` in `NewManager`; better, strip secret keys
+before writing and document that secrets come from env/secret-manager only.
+
+### 5. Current-working-directory config injection (Medium, Security)
+
+`manager.go:32-36`
+
+```go
+v.AddConfigPath(".")
+v.AddConfigPath("./config")
+v.AddConfigPath("/etc/resolvespec")
+v.AddConfigPath("$HOME/.resolvespec")
+```
+
+Viper searches these **in order** and takes the first hit, so `./config.yaml` wins over
+`/etc/resolvespec/config.yaml`. For a daemon this is backwards: the CWD is the least trustworthy of
+the four. If the process is ever started with its CWD in a shared or user-writable directory (a
+tmp dir, a bind-mounted volume, `/` in some container setups), an attacker with local write
+capability redirects the DB connection, disables TLS, or points `error_tracking.dsn` at their own
+collector — turning finding 1 of `audit/pkg/errortracking.audit.md` into a full exfiltration path.
+
+**Recommendation:** search `/etc/resolvespec` first, drop `"."` from the default list (keep it
+available via `WithConfigPath`), and log the resolved path at startup (`v.ConfigFileUsed()`).
+
+### 6. `Load()` is silent about a missing config file (Medium, Observability)
+
+`manager.go:87-97`
+
+```go
+if err := m.v.ReadInConfig(); err != nil {
+	if _, ok := err.(viper.ConfigFileNotFoundError); !ok {
+		return fmt.Errorf("error reading config file: %w", err)
+	}
+	// Config file not found; will rely on defaults and env vars
+}
+return nil
+```
+
+The comment is the only trace. No log line, no returned indicator, no `ConfigFileUsed()` report.
+A typo in the filename, a wrong working directory, or a container that forgot to mount the
+ConfigMap is indistinguishable from a deliberate defaults-only run — and the defaults are the ones
+in finding 3.
+
+**Recommendation:** log at info level whether a file was used and which one; expose
+`ConfigFileUsed()` on `Manager` so startup can print it.
+
+### 7. `PathsConfig.Set` panics on a nil map (Medium, Panic handling)
+
+`paths.go:38-40`
+
+```go
+func (pc PathsConfig) Set(name, path string) {
+	pc[name] = path
+}
+```
+
+`PathsConfig` is `map[string]string` (`config.go:200`). `Get`, `GetOrDefault`, `Has` and `List` all
+begin with `if pc == nil`. `Set` does not — and assignment to a nil map is
+`panic: assignment to entry in nil map`.
+
+`Config.Paths` is populated by `mapstructure`, which leaves the map nil when the `paths` key is
+absent from the file. `setDefaults` does register `paths.data_dir` etc. (`manager.go:249-253`), so
+the map is non-nil on the normal `GetConfig()` path — but a `Config` built in code
+(`config.Config{}`) or produced by a partial unmarshal has a nil `Paths`, and `Set` on it panics.
+Nothing in `pkg/` currently calls `Set` (verified by grep), so this is a latent API defect.
+
+**Recommendation:** nil-guard consistently, or change the receiver to `*PathsConfig` so `Set` can
+allocate.
+
+### 8. `PathsConfig` has no synchronisation (Medium, Locking)
+
+Same type: a bare map with a mutating `Set` and reading `Get`/`Has`/`List`/`EnsureDir`/`AbsPath`/
+`Join`. If any consumer calls `Set` at runtime while request handlers resolve paths, that is a
+concurrent map write — again the **unrecoverable** `fatal error` class, not a panic.
+
+Currently unused outside the package, so severity is capped at Medium. If the intent is a runtime
+path registry, it needs a mutex and an unexported map.
+
+### 9. `GetIPs()` blocks on an uncontexted DNS lookup (Medium, Slowness)
+
+`server.go:113-149`
+
+```go
+hostname, _ = os.Hostname()
+...
+addrs, err := net.LookupIP(hostname)
+```
+
+`net.LookupIP` has no context and no timeout override — it blocks for the resolver's own timeout,
+which on a misconfigured or slow-resolver host is 5 s per attempt and up to ~15–20 s with retries
+across `/etc/resolv.conf` entries. In a container whose hostname is not in DNS (the normal case)
+this fails, but only *after* the resolver gives up.
+
+There is no caller in `pkg/` today, so it is not on the request path yet. It is exported and
+named like a utility, so the risk is that it lands on one.
+
+Secondary correctness problem in the same function: the fallback branch (`server.go:139-147`)
+appends `a.String()` for a `net.Addr` from `net.InterfaceAddrs()`, which renders as CIDR
+(`192.168.1.5/24`), into the same comma-joined string that the primary branch fills with bare IPs.
+Consumers get two formats from one field. That branch also never appends to `ipaddrlist`, so the
+third return value is empty whenever the fallback is taken.
+
+**Recommendation:** `net.DefaultResolver.LookupIPAddr(ctx, host)` with a short deadline; cache the
+result; normalise the fallback to bare IPs via `net.Addr.(*net.IPNet).IP`.
+
+### 10. `SetConfig` does dead work that can fail the call (Medium, Correctness)
+
+`manager.go:107-131`
+
+```go
+configMap := make(map[string]interface{})
+if err := m.v.Unmarshal(&configMap); err != nil {
+	return fmt.Errorf("failed to prepare config map: %w", err)
+}
+// configMap is never read again
+m.v.Set("servers", cfg.Servers)
+...
+```
+
+`configMap` is written and then never used. The comment says "Marshal the config to a map structure
+that viper can use", but it unmarshals *viper's current state* into a throwaway map — it has
+nothing to do with `cfg`. The only effect is that a decode error in the **existing** config makes
+`SetConfig` fail for no reason. It also does a full reflective decode of the whole config tree on
+every call.
+
+Note also that `SetConfig` stores Go structs into viper via `Set`, and the eleven `Set` calls are
+not atomic — a concurrent `GetConfig()` observes a torn config (new `servers`, old `cors`), on top
+of finding 1's race.
+
+**Recommendation:** delete the `configMap` block.
+
+### 11. `GetIPs()` panic handling bypasses the logger (Low, Panic handling)
+
+`server.go:114-118`
+
+```go
+defer func() {
+	if err := recover(); err != nil {
+		fmt.Println("Recovered in GetIPs", err)
+	}
+}()
+```
+
+- Writes to stdout with `fmt.Println` rather than `logger.Error`/`logger.HandlePanic`, so the event
+  never reaches the error tracker and is invisible to structured log collection.
+- No stack trace captured.
+- The function's results are named (`hostname, ipList string, ipNetList []net.IP`) but the body
+  builds `iplist`/`ipaddrlist` **locals** and only assigns via the `return` statements. On a panic,
+  the deferred recover swallows it and the function returns the *zero* named values — `ipNetList`
+  is nil rather than the empty slice callers might expect. Silent empty success.
+
+`pkg/config` is otherwise the only package outside `pkg/logger` that hand-rolls a recover instead
+of using the shared helpers.
+
+**Recommendation:** use `defer logger.CatchPanic("GetIPs")()`, or drop the recover — there is no
+panicking operation in this function for it to catch.
+
+### 12. No validation of numeric/limit settings (Low, Security)
+
+`ServerInstanceConfig.Validate` (`server.go:37-68`) and `ServersConfig.Validate`
+(`server.go:71-95`) are good — port range, mutually-exclusive TLS modes, cert/key pairing,
+AutoTLS domains. But nothing validates:
+
+- `middleware.rate_limit_rps` / `rate_limit_burst` — `0` disables rate limiting silently.
+- `middleware.max_request_size` — `0` may mean unlimited depending on the middleware; see
+  `audit/pkg/middleware.audit.md`.
+- `event_broker.worker_count` (default 10) — `0` means no consumers; see
+  `audit/pkg/eventbroker.audit.md` for whether that deadlocks publishers or drops events.
+- `dbmanager.max_open_conns`, retry counts/delays — negative or zero values.
+- `cors.allowed_origins: ["*"]` in combination with credentials.
+
+There is also no top-level `Config.Validate()` that calls the section validators, so nothing
+guarantees `ServersConfig.Validate` ever runs.
+
+**Recommendation:** add `func (c *Config) Validate() error` that fans out to every section, and
+call it from `GetConfig()`.
+
+### 13. `GetDefault()` returns a pointer to a copy (Low, Correctness)
+
+`server.go:98-110`
+
+```go
+instance, ok := sc.Instances[sc.DefaultServer]
+...
+return &instance, nil
+```
+
+`instance` is a copy of the map value. A caller that mutates through the returned pointer — which
+the `*ServerInstanceConfig` receiver on `ApplyGlobalDefaults` (`server.go:12`) invites — changes
+only the copy, and `sc.Instances` is unaffected. This is exactly the shape of bug where timeouts
+appear to be applied but aren't.
+
+**Recommendation:** make `Instances` a `map[string]*ServerInstanceConfig`, or return by value.
+
+### 14. `PathsConfig.Join` does not confine to the base (Low, Security)
+
+`paths.go:96-104`
+
+```go
+parts := append([]string{base}, elem...)
+return filepath.Join(parts...), nil
+```
+
+`filepath.Join` calls `Clean`, which *resolves* `..` rather than rejecting it: `Join("data",
+"../../etc/passwd")` returns `../etc/passwd`. Any consumer that passes a request-derived segment
+gets directory traversal out of the configured base. No consumer does today, hence Low, but the
+method's name promises confinement it does not provide.
+
+**Recommendation:** after joining, verify `strings.HasPrefix(filepath.Clean(result), filepath.Clean(base)+string(os.PathSeparator))`, or use `os.Root`/`filepath.Localize` on the elements.
+
+---
+
+## What looks right
+
+- `ServerInstanceConfig.Validate` / `ServersConfig.Validate` (`server.go:37-95`) are thorough:
+  port bounds, mutual exclusion of the three TLS modes, cert/key co-presence, AutoTLS domain
+  requirement, and a key-vs-`Name` consistency check on the instances map. This is the strongest
+  code in the package.
+- `ApplyGlobalDefaults` (`server.go:12-32`) uses `*time.Duration` fields so "unset" is
+  distinguishable from "zero" — the right modelling choice, and it copies into a fresh local
+  before taking its address rather than aliasing the loop/parameter variable.
+- `Load()` correctly distinguishes `ConfigFileNotFoundError` from real read errors instead of
+  treating every failure as fatal (the *silence* is the problem, not the branch).
+- `SetEnvPrefix("RESOLVESPEC")` + `SetEnvKeyReplacer(".", "_")` + `AutomaticEnv`
+  (`manager.go:38-41`) is the correct trio for env overrides, and because every key has a
+  registered default, `AutomaticEnv` actually resolves nested keys — so secrets *can* be supplied
+  via env instead of the file. That's the mitigation for finding 4, and it should be documented as
+  the only supported way to pass secrets.
+- The defaults table is comprehensive and one place — easy to review, which is how findings 3 and
+  12 were found.
+- Test coverage is reasonable for a config package (608 LOC of tests against 1023 of source),
+  though it does not cover concurrency, `SaveConfig` permissions, or `PathsConfig.Set`.
+
+## Suggested follow-up
+
+1. Lock `Manager` or make config immutable after load (findings 1, 2). Until then, treat
+   `Manager.Set` as unsafe to call after startup and consider removing it from the public API.
+2. Flip the insecure defaults and add `Config.Validate()` (findings 3, 12).
+3. `SetConfigPermissions(0o600)` and secret-stripping in `SaveConfig` (finding 4).
+4. Reorder the config search path and log the resolved file (findings 5, 6).
+5. Delete the dead `Unmarshal` in `SetConfig` (finding 10).

+| **Audit date** | 2026-09-30 |
+| **Axes** | thread locking/waiting, slowness, security, panic handling & logging |
+| **Threat model** | hostile internet client; request bodies, headers, query params, schema/table/column names all attacker-controlled |
+| **Depth** | deep (hot package; every request's DB handle comes from here). Several findings were checked with a throw-away probe test against SQLite, and the probe was deleted afterwards |
+
+## Summary
+
+`pkg/dbmanager` owns every database pool in the process. It wraps a
+`*sql.DB` (or a `mongo.Client`) in a `sqlConnection` and hands out lazily-built
+`*bun.DB`, `*gorm.DB`, raw `*sql.DB` and `common.Database` adapters over it. A
+background health checker pings each connection every 15 s, and it can
+**reconnect**, which closes the pool and opens a new one.
+
+This audit was started to answer one question: **"why does a database
+connection that has been idle for a while become unusable?"** Several defects
+in this package combine to give exactly that symptom. They are findings 1–5,
+and the [Idle-connection failure chain](#idle-connection-failure-chain) section
+below puts them together.
+
+The root design problem is that **`Reconnect` destroys the shared `*sql.DB`**.
+`*sql.DB` is already a self-healing pool: it throws away bad connections and
+dials new ones. So "reconnecting" a pool is almost never needed, and here it
+has a large blast radius. Every `*bun.DB`, `*gorm.DB` and `*sql.DB` handed out
+before the reconnect now points at a closed pool, and it stays closed. Only the
+`common.Database` adapters carry a factory that can re-fetch a handle, and even
+they only use it on a subset of code paths (see `common.audit.md` finding 5).
+Those adapter factories also *trigger* `Reconnect` themselves, so one stale
+handle closes the pool for everyone else. `Reconnect` isn't atomic, so
+concurrent callers turn this into a storm.
+
+The other major theme is **missing client-side deadlines**. `QueryTimeout` is
+only ever sent to the server as `statement_timeout`, which does nothing when
+the TCP peer has vanished. No `context.WithTimeout` is applied to request
+queries, and pgx's dialer sets no `TCP_USER_TIMEOUT`. So the first query on a
+pooled connection whose peer silently disappeared (NAT/firewall idle drop,
+failover, a pgbouncer restart) can block for minutes. One Close path does this
+while holding the connection's write lock, which stalls every request.
+
+## Findings
+
+| # | Severity | Axis | Finding | Status |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | **Critical** | locking / availability | `Reconnect` closes the shared `*sql.DB`, so every `*bun.DB` / `*gorm.DB` / `*sql.DB` handed out earlier is permanently dead ("sql: database is closed") | Fixed |
+| 2 | **High** | locking | Adapter reconnect factories call `Reconnect` on the *shared* connection, and `Reconnect` is not atomic, so one stale handle starts a reconnect storm that repeatedly closes the pool under in-flight requests | Fixed |
+| 3 | **High** | slowness / locking | `sqlConnection.HealthCheck` holds the write lock across a network ping for up to 5 s; every `Bun()`/`GORM()`/`Native()`/`Database()`/`Stats()` call blocks for that time | Fixed |
+| 4 | **High** | slowness | No client-side query deadline and no `TCP_USER_TIMEOUT`: a query on a silently-dead idle socket blocks for minutes (up to about 15 min); `QueryTimeout` is server-side only, and is forced to at least 2 min | Fixed |
+| 5 | **High** | locking / slowness | `PostgresListener.Close` runs `UNLISTEN` with `context.Background()` while `sqlConnection.mu` (write), `PostgresProvider.mu` and `listener.mu` are all held; on a dead socket this freezes every request for minutes | Fixed |
+| 6 | **High** | locking / leak | `PostgresListener.Connect` starts a new goroutine pair on every (re)connect; the old pair keeps running, so two loops call `WaitForNotification` on one `pgx.Conn` concurrently, which triggers more reconnects | Fixed |
+| 7 | **High** | panic handling | `Connect → Close → Connect → Close` panics with "close of closed channel"; after the first cycle the health checker also exits immediately and silently | Fixed |
+| 8 | **Medium** | availability | SQLite: `:memory:` with a 25-connection pool gives every connection its own empty database, and `ConnMaxIdleTime` then silently discards data; `busy_timeout` / WAL pragmas are applied to only one pooled connection | Fixed |
+| 9 | **Medium** | availability | Partial failure in `sqlConnection.Close` leaves `connected=true` over a closed pool; partial failure in `Manager.Connect` leaks the connections already opened | Fixed |
+| 10 | **Medium** | security | DSN builders concatenate unescaped credentials (postgres key=value, mssql/mongo URLs); `sslmode` defaults to `disable` | Fixed |
+| 11 | **Medium** | config | Several config knobs are ignored or impossible to turn off: `EnableAutoReconnect`, `HealthCheckInterval`, `RetryAttempts`/`RetryDelay`/`RetryMaxDelay`, SQLite `_timeout`, and `statement_timeout` when a DSN is given | Fixed |
+| 12 | **Medium** | locking | `Manager.Connect` holds `m.mu` across every network dial (up to 3 retries × `ConnectTimeout` per connection) | Fixed |
+| 13 | **Low** | observability | `PublishMetrics` / `RecordReconnectAttempt` are never called, so all dbmanager metrics are permanently zero; `*_total` metrics are gauges | Fixed |
+| 14 | **Low** | correctness | `Bun()`/`GORM()` do not check `connected`; `getNativeAdapter` uses `PgSQLAdapter` for SQLite and MSSQL; `ExistingDBProvider` applies no pool settings and closes the caller's DB | Fixed (partly, see notes) |
+| 15 | **Low** | logging | `Close` / `performHealthCheck` pass key-value pairs to the printf-style logger, which produces `%!(EXTRA ...)` output; `ResetInstance` discards the close error | Fixed |
+
+## Remediation status
+
+Implemented 2026-09-30. `go build ./...` and `go test -race ./pkg/dbmanager/...`
+pass. The Postgres behaviour was also verified against a live server (tests are
+skipped unless `PG_LIVE=1` / `PG_RESTART_DIR` is set).
+
+**Design decisions taken**
+- No automatic reconnect. Adapter factories and the health checker never close
+  the pool; they only re-fetch the current handle. `*sql.DB` replaces bad
+  connections itself. `EnableAutoReconnect` is deprecated and ignored.
+- `Reconnect` is atomic (one critical section) and operator-only. On PostgreSQL
+  it goes through a custom `driver.Connector` (`providers/pgconnector.go`): it
+  bumps a generation, stale pooled connections are discarded, and the `*sql.DB`
+  is never closed, so held Bun/GORM/`*sql.DB` handles keep working. Other
+  providers still close and reopen.
+- Client-side deadlines are applied at the driver level rather than in the
+  adapters (a `context.WithTimeout` around a query is cancelled before the
+  caller has read the rows).
+
+**Per finding**
+1. Fixed. Postgres refresh keeps the pool; explicit `Reconnect` on other
+   providers still invalidates handles (documented in the README).
+2. Fixed. Adapter factories no longer call `Reconnect`; `Reconnect` is a single
+   critical section under `lifecycleMu` + `mu`.
+3. Fixed. The ping runs without `mu`; `lifecycleMu` (read) only keeps
+   `Close`/`Reconnect` from tearing the provider down mid-ping. Same for Mongo.
+4. Fixed. TCP keepalive and `TCP_USER_TIMEOUT` (30 s, Linux) via `DialFunc`;
+   the reuse-time liveness ping is capped at 5 s; `statement_timeout` is set as
+   a runtime parameter so it also applies to a supplied DSN; the 2-minute floor
+   on `QueryTimeout` is removed. `SetConnMaxIdleTime` tuning remains a
+   configuration matter (documented in the README).
+5. Fixed. Listener `Close` sends no `UNLISTEN`, closes with a 2 s bound, and
+   holds no lock across network I/O.
+6. Fixed. Background goroutines start once (`sync.Once`); reconnect dials a
+   replacement, re-`LISTEN`s, then swaps it in; sleeps honour `ctx.Done()`.
+   Additionally, all use of the single `pgx.Conn` is serialised (`connMu`, 500 ms
+   notification poll), fixing "conn busy" from `Listen`/`Unlisten`/`Notify`, and
+   old connections are closed under `connMu` (a race found by the live test).
+7. Fixed. Stop channel is created per start, guarded by `healthMu`; `Close` is
+   idempotent; `Connect` is idempotent.
+8. Fixed. `:memory:` is pinned to one connection with no idle/lifetime limits;
+   `busy_timeout`/WAL are `_pragma` DSN parameters; `_timeout` and the dead
+   reconnect code are removed.
+9. Fixed. `Close` always marks disconnected and returns joined errors;
+   `PostgresProvider.Close` closes the pool even if the listener fails;
+   `Manager.Connect` closes connections it opened when a later one fails.
+10. Fixed. Postgres, MSSQL and Mongo DSNs are built as escaped URLs; default
+    `sslmode` is now `prefer` (was `disable`).
+11. Fixed. Retry settings reach every provider; a negative
+    `HealthCheckInterval` disables the health checker; `EnableAutoReconnect`
+    deprecated; `statement_timeout` applies with a supplied DSN.
+12. Fixed. `Manager.Connect` dials outside `m.mu` and publishes results under it.
+13. Fixed. `PublishMetrics` runs on each health-check tick, `Reconnect` records
+    `RecordReconnectAttempt`, and the wait/closed metrics are true counters
+    (delta-tracked).
+14. Partly fixed. `Bun()`/`GORM()` check `connected`; Mongo no longer maps
+    `MaxIdleConns` to `MinPoolSize`. `ExistingDBProvider`: `Close` is now a no-op
+    that logs a warning (the caller owns the `*sql.DB`; the connection's `Close`
+    also skips `bun.DB.Close`), and `Reconnect` only pings. Pool settings are
+    still not applied to a caller-owned pool. The `getNativeAdapter` claim was
+    stale: the adapter already receives the driver name; the three duplicate
+    cases were merged. Mongo `Stats()` is still empty.
+15. Fixed. Printf-style logger calls corrected; `ResetInstance` logs the close
+    error. Unscrubbed driver errors in Sentry (X8) are not addressed here.
+
+**Behaviour changes**
+- Removed tests that closed the pool from outside and expected an adapter to
+  swap in a new one (three adapter tests, and the health-check reconnect test,
+  now asserting it never reconnects).
+- `sslmode` default `prefer`; `NewConnectionFromDB` connections are no longer
+  closed by the manager.
+
+**Regression tests added:** `lifecycle_test.go` (double Connect/Close cycle,
+idempotent Connect, concurrent Reconnect, adapter factory leaves pool open,
+accessors not blocked by health check, Close marks disconnected, existing-DB
+Reconnect/Close leave the caller's pool open), `config_dsn_test.go`,
+`providers/pgconnector_test.go`, `pg_live_test.go` (refresh keeps handles,
+listener Listen/Notify) and `restart_live_test.go` (server crash and restart).
+

+
+## Idle-connection failure chain
+
+This is how findings 1–5 combine into "the connection sat idle and then could
+not be used":
+
+1. The app is idle. A NAT, firewall, load balancer or pgbouncer silently drops
+   the idle TCP flows. No FIN or RST reaches the process.
+2. The next request takes a pooled connection. pgx's `ResetSession` pings it
+   because it has been idle for more than 1 s, and that ping uses the request
+   ctx, **which has no deadline** (finding 4). The write goes into the kernel
+   buffer and the read blocks until TCP retransmission gives up, which can
+   take minutes.
+   Meanwhile the health checker's 5 s ping times out and holds `c.mu`
+   **exclusively** for the whole time (finding 3), so every request trying to
+   get a handle queues behind it.
+3. Eventually something returns "sql: database is closed" or
+   `ErrConnectionClosed`. That can be an adapter that hit a closed pool, or a
+   partial `Close` (finding 9). An adapter's `dbFactory` or the health checker
+   then calls `Reconnect` (finding 2).
+4. `Reconnect` closes the `*sql.DB` (finding 1). If the Postgres listener has
+   subscriptions, `Close` first sends `UNLISTEN` on its own dead socket with no
+   deadline, still holding the write lock (finding 5), which freezes the
+   process again.
+5. When the reconnect completes, every handle captured before it is
+   permanently broken. That includes the `*gorm.DB` given to
+   `resolvespec.NewHandlerWithGORM` in `cmd/testserver/main.go:142,56`, any
+   `*bun.DB` passed to `NewHandlerWithBun`, and every Bun `NewSelect`/`NewInsert`
+   path. **From this point on, every request that goes through those handles
+   fails until the process is restarted.** Concurrent failures run their own
+   `Reconnect`s, and each one closes the pool the previous one just opened
+   (finding 2).
+
+### Fix order for this symptom
+
+1. **Stop closing the pool to recover from connection errors.** Remove
+   `WithDBFactory(c.reopen*ForAdapter)` → `Reconnect`, and remove the
+   health-check → `Reconnect` path for SQL providers. `*sql.DB` already discards
+   bad connections (`driver.ErrBadConn`, `ResetSession`,
+   `SetConnMaxIdleTime`/`SetConnMaxLifetime`). Keep `Reconnect` for explicit
+   operator use only, and make it atomic (finding 2).
+2. Give every request a deadline. Wrap the request ctx in
+   `context.WithTimeout(ctx, QueryTimeout)` in the adapters, or at the handler
+   boundary.
+3. Set `SetConnMaxIdleTime` **below** the shortest idle timeout of any
+   middlebox (typically 60–240 s for cloud NATs and LBs) so idle connections
+   are recycled before they can be dropped silently. Also set TCP keepalive and
+   `TCP_USER_TIMEOUT` through a custom `pgconn.Config.DialFunc`.
+4. Ping without the write lock (finding 3), and give the listener's `Close`
+   bounded ctxs (finding 5).
+
+---
+
+### 1. Critical — `Reconnect` kills every previously issued handle
+
+`connection.go:129-160` (`Close`) and `connection.go:187-192` (`Reconnect`):
+
+```go
+func (c *sqlConnection) Close() error {
+	c.mu.Lock()
+	...
+	if c.bunDB != nil {
+		if err := c.bunDB.Close(); err != nil {   // closes the shared *sql.DB
+	...
+	if err := c.provider.Close(); err != nil {    // closes it again (idempotent)
+	...
+	c.nativeDB = nil
+	c.bunDB = nil
+	c.gormDB = nil
+	c.bunAdapter = nil
+	...
+}
+
+func (c *sqlConnection) Reconnect(ctx context.Context) error {
+	if err := c.Close(); err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+	return c.Connect(ctx)
+}
+```
+
+`Bun()`, `GORM()` and `Native()` return the handle itself, and callers keep
+it: every spec package has a `NewHandlerWithGORM(*gorm.DB)` /
+`NewHandlerWithBun(*bun.DB)` constructor, and `cmd/testserver/main.go:142` does
+exactly this. After `Reconnect`, the cached fields are nilled, a new pool is
+built, and the handles the callers hold point at a `*sql.DB` whose `closed`
+flag is set forever.
+
+Verified with a probe: I obtained `conn.GORM()`, called `conn.Reconnect(ctx)`,
+then ran a query through the old handle. It returned
+`sql: database is closed`, and a fresh `conn.GORM()` worked.
+
+The comment in `manager.go:371-374` shows the authors already knew about this
+("forcing Close()+Connect() here invalidates any cached ORM wrappers and callers
+that still hold the old handle"). Their mitigation was to narrow *when* the
+health checker reconnects. But the adapters' own `dbFactory` still reconnects
+unconditionally (finding 2).
+
+**Failure scenario.** Any event that triggers a reconnect turns every
+long-lived handler into a permanent 500 generator: a single adapter query hitting
+"database is closed", or a health check returning `ErrConnectionClosed`. The
+process does not recover without a restart. The same thing happens after a
+normal `Manager.Close()` + `Connect()` in tests or hot-reload code.
+
+**Recommendation.** Treat the `*sql.DB` as immortal for the life of the
+`sqlConnection`. Don't close it to "reconnect": `database/sql` already replaces
+broken connections. If a real re-dial is ever needed (for example after
+changing credentials), build the new pool, atomically swap it in, and close the
+old one only after a grace period. Give the handles returned by
+`Bun()`/`GORM()`/`Native()` stable identity; one way is a `driver.Connector`
+that indirects to the current pool.
+
+---
+
+### 2. High — Adapter-triggered, non-atomic `Reconnect` causes a reconnect storm
+
+`connection.go:362-397` and `connection.go:431/474/517-525`:
+
+```go
+func (c *sqlConnection) reconnectForAdapter() error {
+	...
+	return c.Reconnect(ctx)            // Close() then Connect(): two separate lock scopes
+}
+...
+	WithDBFactory(c.reopenBunForAdapter).
+```
+
+The adapters (`pkg/common/adapters/database/bun.go:131`, `gorm.go`,
+`pgsql.go`) call `dbFactory` whenever an operation returns an error that
+matches `"sql: database is closed"`. So:
+
+- **One stale handle closes the pool for everyone.** If an adapter holds a
+  `*sql.DB` from before a previous reconnect, its first query fails with
+  "database is closed". Its factory then calls `c.Reconnect`, which closes the
+  *current, healthy* pool that every other adapter and request is using right
+  now.
+- **`Reconnect` isn't atomic.** `Close` and `Connect` each take `c.mu`
+  separately. Under N concurrent failures, one goroutine closes and reconnects
+  while the others either close the brand-new pool again or fail with
+  `already connected`. The probe used 20 concurrent `Reconnect`s: 9 returned
+  "already connected", and every successful reconnect closed the pool the
+  previous winner had just handed to its adapter. Each of those adapters then
+  sees "database is closed" on its next query, and the cycle continues.
+
+**Failure scenario.** A burst of traffic arrives just after a reconnect. Each
+in-flight request whose adapter still holds the old pool triggers another
+`Reconnect`, and each of those closes the pool that the previous request
+reopened. The service flaps until traffic stops.
+
+**Recommendation.** Remove the adapter → `Reconnect` path (see finding 1). If
+it is kept, make `Reconnect` a single critical section, and add a generation
+counter: a caller that saw generation N only reconnects if the current
+generation is still N; otherwise it just re-fetches the handle.
+
+---
+
+### 3. High — Health check holds the write lock across a network ping
+
+`connection.go:163-185`:
+
+```go
+func (c *sqlConnection) HealthCheck(ctx context.Context) error {
+	c.mu.Lock()                    // exclusive
+	defer c.mu.Unlock()
+	...
+	if err := c.provider.HealthCheck(ctx); err != nil {   // PingContext, 5 s timeout
+```
+
+Every handle accessor takes `c.mu.RLock()` first (`connection.go:199, 238, 271,
+308, 335, 403, 441, 484`). While the health checker (every 15 s, `manager.go:348`)
+is pinging, **every request that needs a DB handle waits**. On a healthy
+network this is a few ms. On a dead idle socket it's the full 5 s ping timeout
+(`providers/postgres.go:155`, inside a 10 s outer ctx).
+
+Verified with a probe: while `c.mu` was held, `conn.Bun()` blocked for the whole
+hold (200 ms in the test).
+
+**Failure scenario.** A network blip or a silently dropped idle connection
+makes the ping hang. Every 15 s the whole API pauses for up to 5 s. This fits
+reports of "idle, then slow or unusable".
+
+**Recommendation.** Snapshot `provider` under `RLock`, release the lock, ping,
+then take the lock only to write `healthCheckStatus` / `lastHealthCheck`. Better
+still, keep the status in an `atomic.Value`.
+
+---
+
+### 4. High — No client-side query deadline; `QueryTimeout` is server-side only and floored at 2 min
+
+`config.go:223-228`:
+
+```go
+if cc.QueryTimeout == 0 {
+	cc.QueryTimeout = 2 * time.Minute
+} else if cc.QueryTimeout < 2*time.Minute {
+	cc.QueryTimeout = 2 * time.Minute
+}
+```
+
+`config.go:331-335` turns this into `statement_timeout=<ms>` in the Postgres DSN,
+and it only does that when the DSN is *built*. A user-supplied `DSN` gets no
+timeout at all. Nothing anywhere in the request path wraps ctx in a deadline.
+`pkg/config`'s `query_timeout: 30s` default is silently raised to 2 min.
+
+`statement_timeout` is enforced by the **server**, so it only helps if the
+server is reachable. On a silently dropped connection:
+
+- pgconn's default dialer is `&net.Dialer{}`: Go's default keepalive (15 s idle,
+  15 s interval, 9 probes) and **no `TCP_USER_TIMEOUT`**.
+- Once a query has been written, there is unacknowledged data, so keepalive does
+  not apply. The socket then waits for TCP retransmission to give up
+  (`tcp_retries2`), which takes about 15 min on Linux defaults.
+- `database/sql` calls pgx's `ResetSession`, which pings a connection that has
+  been idle for more than 1 s. That ping uses the **request ctx**, so with no
+  deadline it blocks just as long.
+
+**Failure scenario.** An idle period longer than the NAT or LB idle timeout
+causes the next request to hang for minutes rather than failing fast and being
+retried on a fresh connection. With `MaxOpenConns` = 25, 25 such requests
+exhaust the pool and every later request blocks on `db.conn()`.
+
+**Recommendation.**
+- Apply `context.WithTimeout(ctx, QueryTimeout)` in the adapters, or in a
+  handler middleware.
+- Remove the 2-minute floor, and honour the configured value.
+- Set `SetConnMaxIdleTime` below the middlebox idle timeout.
+- Configure `pgconn.Config.DialFunc` with a `net.Dialer` that has `KeepAlive`
+  set and a `Control` func setting `TCP_USER_TIMEOUT` (for example 30 s).
+- Apply `statement_timeout` through `RuntimeParams` so it also works with a
+  supplied DSN.
+
+---
+
+### 5. High — Listener `Close` does unbounded network I/O under three locks
+
+`providers/postgres_listener.go:216-244`, reached from
+`providers/postgres.go:116-126`, which is reached from `connection.go:147`:
+
+```go
+// sqlConnection.Close holds c.mu (write)
+//   PostgresProvider.Close holds p.mu
+//     PostgresListener.Close holds l.mu:
+for channel := range l.channels {
+	_, _ = l.conn.Exec(context.Background(), fmt.Sprintf("UNLISTEN %s", ...))
+}
+err := l.conn.Close(context.Background())
+```
+
+If the listener's socket is dead, and it usually is in the situation that
+triggers a reconnect, each `UNLISTEN` waits for a reply that never comes. This
+is the same unbounded wait as in finding 4, and `c.mu` is held **for writing**
+the whole time. Every request blocks. `bunDB` has already been closed at this
+point, so there is no fallback either.
+
+Also, if `listener.Close` returns an error, `PostgresProvider.Close` returns
+early. `sqlConnection.Close` then returns with `connected=true` over a closed
+pool (finding 9).
+
+**Failure scenario.** An app with any `LISTEN` subscription hits a network
+partition. The health checker or an adapter calls `Reconnect`, and the process
+stops serving database requests for as long as the kernel takes to kill the
+socket.
+
+**Recommendation.** Skip `UNLISTEN` entirely, because closing the connection
+drops all subscriptions server-side. Close with `context.WithTimeout(…, 2*time.Second)`.
+Don't do network I/O while holding `l.mu`, and don't close the listener
+inside `sqlConnection.Close`'s write lock.
+
+---
+
+### 6. High — Listener leaks a goroutine pair per reconnect, and they race on one `pgx.Conn`
+
+`providers/postgres_listener.go:48-120` (Connect), `257-324` (handleNotifications),
+`326-370` (handleReconnection).
+
+`Connect()` ends by starting `go l.handleNotifications()` and
+`go l.handleReconnection()`. `handleReconnection` responds to a reconnect
+signal by calling `l.Connect(ctx)`, which starts **another** pair. The old pair
+keeps running on the same `l.ctx`. After N reconnects there are N+1
+notification loops. Each one snapshots `l.conn` and calls
+`conn.WaitForNotification`. `pgx.Conn` is **not** safe for concurrent use, so
+the second caller gets a "conn busy" error. That error isn't a timeout, so it
+sends another reconnect signal, which adds another pair.
+
+`handleReconnection` also waits with `time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)` instead of
+selecting on `l.ctx.Done()`, so `Close` can't interrupt it. And `Listen` runs
+`l.conn.Exec(LISTEN …)` while holding `l.mu`, which blocks `handleReconnection`
+for as long as that Exec takes.
+
+Once the parent `PostgresProvider` is closed (for example by any `Reconnect`,
+finding 1), subscribers holding the old `*PostgresListener` get
+"listener is closed" forever. Nothing re-subscribes them on the new provider.
+
+**Failure scenario.** A flaky network causes a few listener reconnects. The
+goroutine count grows without bound, notifications are delivered twice or
+dropped, and CPU rises because of the busy/reconnect spiral.
+
+**Recommendation.** Start the goroutines once, in the constructor or the first
+`Connect`. Have `handleReconnection` dial a new conn without calling the public
+`Connect`. Guard `WaitForNotification` so only one loop owns the conn. Replace
+`time.Sleep` with `select { case <-time.After(d): case <-l.ctx.Done(): }`.
+
+---
+
+### 7. High — Second `Close` panics; health checker silently dead after first cycle
+
+`manager.go:119, 313-345`:
+
+```go
+stopChan: make(chan struct{}),   // created once, in the constructor
+...
+func (m *connectionManager) stopHealthChecker() {
+	if m.healthTicker != nil {
+		m.healthTicker.Stop()
+		close(m.stopChan)          // never recreated
+		m.wg.Wait()
+		m.healthTicker = nil
+	}
+}
+```
+
+After `Connect → Close`, `stopChan` is closed. A second `Connect` calls
+`startHealthChecker`, which creates a new ticker and goroutine. That goroutine's
+`select` sees the closed `stopChan` right away and **exits**, so health
+checking is silently off. A second `Close` finds `healthTicker != nil` and
+calls `close(m.stopChan)` again, which **panics**: `close of closed channel`.
+`startHealthChecker` and `stopHealthChecker` also read and write `healthTicker`
+without `m.mu` held (`Close` calls `stopHealthChecker` before locking), so a
+concurrent `Connect`/`Close` pair is a data race.
+
+Calling `Connect` twice without `Close` also leaks: `m.connections[name] = conn`
+overwrites the previous connection without closing it.
+
+**Failure scenario.** Anything that cycles the manager can crash the process
+during shutdown: graceful restart, config hot-reload, or test suites using
+`ResetInstance`.
+
+**Recommendation.** Create `stopChan` in `startHealthChecker`. Guard both
+functions with `m.mu`, or a dedicated mutex. Make `Connect` idempotent, or have
+it close existing connections first.
+
+---
+
+### 8. Medium — SQLite: in-memory data loss and per-connection pragmas
+
+`providers/sqlite.go:54-90`, `config.go:140-141, 202-204`:
+
+- `ManagerConfig.ApplyDefaults` always gives `MaxOpenConns` a value (25), so the
+  "SQLite works best with MaxOpenConns=1" branch at `sqlite.go:60` never runs.
+  The probe reported `MaxOpenConnections=25`.
+- With `:memory:` (the documented test setup), each pooled connection opens its
+  **own** private database. The probe created a table on one connection, and a
+  second connection reported `no such table: t`. `ConnMaxIdleTime` (default
+  5 min) then closes idle connections and their data with them.
+- `PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL` and `PRAGMA busy_timeout` are `Exec`'d once on
+  whichever pooled connection runs them. `busy_timeout` is per-connection, so
+  the other 24 get `database is locked` immediately under write contention.
+- `BuildDSN` adds `?_timeout=<ms>` (`config.go:347-351`), but
+  `glebarez/go-sqlite` only recognises `_pragma`, `_txlock` and `_time_format`,
+  so this parameter is silently ignored.
+- `SQLiteProvider.reconnectDB` (`sqlite.go:165`) needs a `dbFactory` that
+  nothing ever sets, so it is dead code.
+
+**Recommendation.** For SQLite, force `MaxOpenConns=1` for `:memory:` (or use
+`file::memory:?cache=shared`), and never set an idle timeout there. Pass the
+pragmas in the DSN (`_pragma=busy_timeout(5000)&_pragma=journal_mode(WAL)`) so
+every connection gets them.
+
+---
+
+### 9. Medium — Partial-failure states in `Close` and `Connect`
+
+- `connection.go:137-149`: if `bunDB.Close()` or `provider.Close()` fails, for
+  example because the listener's Close failed (finding 5), `Close` returns
+  early with `connected = true` and the pool already closed. Every accessor then
+  returns a handle to a closed pool until someone calls `Close` again.
+- `manager.go:197-231`: if connection *k* of *n* fails to connect, `Connect`
+  returns an error. Connections 1…k-1 stay open but are never stored in
+  `m.connections`, so `Close` can't reach them and they leak.
+
+**Recommendation.** In `Close`, mark the connection disconnected and nil the
+fields regardless of errors, and return a joined error. In `Connect`, close any
+connections opened so far when a later one fails.
+
+---
+
+### 10. Medium — DSN builders don't escape credentials; TLS off by default
+
+`config.go` `buildPostgresDSN` / `buildMSSQLDSN` / `buildMongoDSN` use
+`fmt.Sprintf` with raw `User`/`Password`/`Database` values:
+
+- Postgres key=value format: a password containing a space or `'` breaks
+  parsing. A password like `x sslmode=disable` *overrides earlier parameters*.
+- MSSQL and Mongo URLs: `@`, `:`, `/`, `?` or `&` in the password corrupt the
+  URL. They need `url.QueryEscape` / `url.UserPassword`.
+- `sslmode` defaults to `disable` (`config.go:322-325`); see
+  `_CROSS-CUTTING.audit.md` X6.
+
+These values come from config, not from clients, so this isn't directly
+exploitable by the threat model. It is a correctness and hardening problem,
+and it becomes a security problem wherever DSN parts come from a tenant or
+operator UI.
+
+**Recommendation.** Build the Postgres DSN as a URL with `url.URL{User: url.UserPassword(...)}`,
+or quote key=value values properly. Default `sslmode` to `prefer` or `require`.
+
+---
+
+### 11. Medium — Config knobs that are ignored or cannot be disabled
+
+- `config.go:161-168`: `HealthCheckInterval == 0` and
+  `EnableAutoReconnect == false` are both treated as "unset" and replaced with
+  the defaults (15 s, `true`). **Auto-reconnect, the trigger for findings 1–2,
+  cannot be switched off from config.**
+- `RetryAttempts`, `RetryDelay` and `RetryMaxDelay` are defaulted and copied,
+  but no provider reads them. Every provider hardcodes `retryAttempts := 3`
+  and `retryDelay := 1 * time.Second`.
+- `statement_timeout` is only added when the DSN is built (finding 4), and
+  SQLite `_timeout` is ignored by the driver (finding 8).
+
+**Recommendation.** Use `*bool` / `*time.Duration`, or an explicit
+`Disable…` flag, for the values that can legitimately be zero or false. Wire
+the retry settings into the providers, or delete them.
+
+---
+
+### 12. Medium — `Manager.Connect` holds the manager lock across network dials
+
+`manager.go:197-231` holds `m.mu` (write) while dialing every configured
+connection, each with up to 3 attempts, backoff, and `ConnectTimeout`.
+`GetConnection`, `HealthCheck`, `Stats` and the health checker all wait
+behind it. That's harmless at startup, but it serialises the whole manager if
+`Connect` is ever called at runtime (hot-reload, lazy init).
+
+**Recommendation.** Dial outside the lock, then lock only to publish the
+results into `m.connections`.
+
+---
+
+### 13. Low — dbmanager metrics are never published
+
+`metrics.go` defines Prometheus collectors plus `PublishMetrics` and
+`RecordReconnectAttempt`. A grep over the repository finds **no callers** of
+either. The connection-pool gauges (open, in-use, idle, wait count) are exactly
+what would have shown the idle-connection problem, and they are always zero.
+The `*_total` names are registered as gauges, not counters.
+
+**Recommendation.** Call `PublishMetrics` from the health-check tick, call
+`RecordReconnectAttempt` from `Reconnect`, and make the totals counters.
+
+---
+
+### 14. Low — Assorted correctness issues
+
+- `Native()` checks `c.connected` (`connection.go:214`); `Bun()` and `GORM()`
+  don't. After a partial `Close` they can build ORM wrappers over a nil or
+  closed DB.
+- `getNativeAdapter` (`connection.go:500-525`) wraps SQLite and MSSQL in
+  `PgSQLAdapter`, which quotes and builds SQL in Postgres dialect.
+- `ExistingDBProvider` (`NewConnectionFromDB`) applies no pool settings and no
+  idle or lifetime limits, and its `Close` closes the caller's `*sql.DB`.
+- `MongoProvider` uses `MaxIdleConns` as `MinPoolSize`, and `Stats()` returns an
+  empty struct.
+
+---
+
+### 15. Low — Logging defects
+
+- `manager.go:247, 367-369, 378-380` call `logger.Error("…", "name", name, "error", err)`.
+  `pkg/logger` is printf-style, so these print `%!(EXTRA string=name, …)`, and
+  the error text is buried in exactly the log lines needed during an outage.
+- `ResetInstance` discards the error from `Close`.
+- Connection errors wrap driver errors that can include the DSN host and user.
+  Together with `_CROSS-CUTTING.audit.md` X8, they reach Sentry unscrubbed.
+
+---
+
+## Test coverage
+
+`manager_test.go` and `factory_test.go` cover construction and config defaults.
+Nothing tests `Reconnect` while handles are held, concurrent `Reconnect`, a
+`Connect`/`Close` cycle run twice, health-check lock hold time, or listener
+reconnection. Each of findings 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 can be reproduced with a short
+SQLite-backed test (the probes used for this audit took about 20 lines each).
+Add them as regression tests when the fixes land, and run them with `-race`
+(`_CROSS-CUTTING.audit.md` X1).

+
+- **Date:** 2026-09-29
+- **Scope:** `pkg/errortracking/{interfaces,noop,sentry,factory}.go` (260 LOC, 4 source files + 1 test file, 67 LOC)
+- **Axes:** thread locking/waiting · slowness · security · panic handling & logging

+
+## Summary
+
+Small, clean abstraction: a `Provider` interface, a no-op implementation, a Sentry implementation,
+and a config-driven factory. The concurrency story is fine — `sentry.Hub` is internally
+mutex-guarded and the provider holds no mutable state of its own. The real exposure is **what
+this package sends out of the trust boundary**: it is the egress point for every `Warn`/`Error`
+in the codebase (see `audit/pkg/logger.audit.md` findings 2 and 3) and it applies **no scrubbing
+whatsoever**.
+
+| # | Severity | Axis | Finding |
+|---|----------|------|---------|
+| 1 | **High** | Security | No `BeforeSend` scrubber — messages, stack traces and `extra` leave the trust boundary verbatim |
+| 2 | Medium | Security | `sentry.Init` mutates process-global state; `NewSentryProvider` can be called repeatedly and silently replaces the global client |
+| 3 | Medium | Slowness | `Flush(timeout int)` is second-granularity only; combined with `Close()` gives up to 7 s of shutdown stall |
+| 4 | Medium | Slowness | `CapturePanic` stringifies the whole stack trace into an `extra` field on every panic |
+| 5 | Low | Security | `AttachStacktrace: true` is hardcoded — source paths and function names of the deployment leak to the SaaS |
+| 6 | Low | Correctness | `CaptureError` produces an `Exception` with a nil `Stacktrace` for plain `errors.New` values |
+| 7 | Low | Correctness | Config-provided `SampleRate == 0` silently means "send everything", not "send nothing" |
+| 8 | Low | Architecture | `factory.go` imports `pkg/config`, coupling the lowest-level package to the config layer |
+
+---
+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. No scrubbing before egress (High, Security)
+
+`sentry.go:29-42`
+
+```go
+err := sentry.Init(sentry.ClientOptions{
+	Dsn:              config.DSN,
+	Environment:      config.Environment,
+	Release:          config.Release,
+	Debug:            config.Debug,
+	AttachStacktrace: true,
+	SampleRate:       config.SampleRate,
+	TracesSampleRate: config.TracesSampleRate,
+})
+```
+
+`BeforeSend` is not set. Neither is `BeforeSendTransaction`. Nothing in `CaptureError`
+(`sentry.go:46`), `CaptureMessage` (`sentry.go:75`) or `CapturePanic` (`sentry.go:97`) inspects or
+redacts its inputs; all three copy straight into `event.Message` / `event.Exception.Value` /
+`event.Contexts["extra"]` and hand it to `hub.CaptureEvent`.
+
+Because `pkg/logger.Error`/`Warn` forward every formatted message here unconditionally, the set of
+things that can reach Sentry is "every error string produced anywhere in ResolveSpec". In this
+codebase that includes driver errors (which embed DSNs and sometimes credentials on connect
+failure), SQL fragments with bound values, and identifiers taken from request headers.
+
+Under the hostile-client threat model this is an **attacker-reachable exfiltration channel**: shape
+an input that lands in an error message, and its content is written to a third-party system
+outside the operator's control.
+
+**Recommendation:** set `BeforeSend` to run a redaction pass over `Message`,
+`Exception[].Value` and `Contexts` — at minimum strip `password=`, `://user:pass@`, `Bearer `,
+and anything matching the configured DSN patterns. Consider an `extra`-key allowlist rather than
+passing the caller's map through (`sentry.go:70`, `92`, `114-121`).
+
+### 2. `sentry.Init` mutates process-global state (Medium, Security/Correctness)
+
+`sentry.go:29` calls the package-level `sentry.Init`, which installs a global client, and
+`sentry.go:40` then captures `sentry.CurrentHub()`. Consequences:
+
+- Calling `NewSentryProvider` twice (two `NewProviderFromConfig` calls, or a config reload)
+  replaces the global client. Any previously-created `SentryProvider` keeps a `hub` pointer whose
+  client has been swapped underneath it — events start going to the *new* DSN. If the two configs
+  have different environments or DSNs, events are misrouted with no error.
+- Events enqueued on the old client at swap time may be dropped without flush.
+- It means this "provider" abstraction is a lie: you cannot actually have two Sentry providers
+  with different configs in one process.
+
+**Recommendation:** build a dedicated client with `sentry.NewClient(opts)` and bind it to an
+owned `sentry.NewHub(client, scope)` rather than touching the global. That also makes `Close()`
+able to genuinely release resources.
+
+### 3. Coarse, additive shutdown flush (Medium, Slowness)
+
+`sentry.go:125-128`
+
+```go
+func (s *SentryProvider) Flush(timeout int) bool {
+	return sentry.Flush(time.Duration(timeout) * time.Second)
+}
+```
+
+`timeout` is an `int` interpreted as whole seconds — the interface (`interfaces.go:30`) cannot
+express 500 ms. `Close()` (`sentry.go:131-134`) then runs a *second* `sentry.Flush(2s)`.
+
+`pkg/logger.CloseErrorTracking` (`logger.go:69-75`) calls `Flush(5)` then `Close()`, so a graceful
+shutdown blocks for **up to 7 seconds** in this package alone, before the HTTP drain and DB close
+budgets in `pkg/server`. If the Sentry endpoint is unreachable (the common case during an
+outage — which is when you are restarting) both flushes run to full timeout.
+
+Note `Flush` also flushes the *global* client, not `s.hub`'s, which is the same object today only
+because of finding 2.
+
+**Recommendation:** change the interface to `Flush(context.Context) bool` or
+`Flush(time.Duration) bool`; have `Close` not re-flush; and pass the server's shutdown deadline
+through instead of hardcoding 5.
+
+### 4. Whole stack trace stringified into `extra` on every panic (Medium, Slowness)
+
+`sentry.go:117-119`
+
+```go
+if stackTrace != nil {
+	extraCtx["stack_trace"] = string(stackTrace)
+}
+```
+
+The caller (`pkg/logger.CatchPanicCallback`, `HandlePanic`) already produced the trace via
+`debug.Stack()`. Here it is copied again into a string and shipped as a context field. Per
+recovered panic that's two full copies of a multi-kilobyte trace plus a network event. With
+panics recovered rather than fatal on the request path, a reliably-panicking input is a cheap
+amplification primitive (see `audit/pkg/logger.audit.md` finding 5).
+
+Sentry also truncates large context values server-side, so much of this payload is wasted.
+
+**Recommendation:** put the trace in `Exception[0].Stacktrace` as structured frames (which Sentry
+groups and displays properly) rather than a blob in `extra`, and cap the byte length.
+
+### 5. `AttachStacktrace: true` hardcoded (Low, Security)
+
+`sentry.go:35`. Not configurable. Every event carries absolute source paths, package layout and
+function names of the build. That's mostly a reconnaissance leak to whoever can read the Sentry
+project rather than to the internet attacker, but it should be an operator choice, especially for
+on-prem deployments sending to a hosted DSN.
+
+### 6. Nil stack trace for plain errors (Low, Correctness)
+
+`sentry.go:62`
+
+```go
+Stacktrace: sentry.ExtractStacktrace(err),
+```
+
+`ExtractStacktrace` only finds a trace if the error implements `StackTrace()`/`Callers()`
+(`pkg/errors`-style). Nearly all errors in this codebase come from `fmt.Errorf`, so this returns
+`nil` and the Sentry event has an exception with no frames — grouping falls back to the message
+string, which (because messages embed request-specific values) fragments what should be one issue
+into thousands.
+
+**Recommendation:** fall back to `sentry.NewStacktrace()` when extraction yields nil, and set an
+explicit `event.Fingerprint` derived from a stable prefix rather than the full message.
+
+### 7. `SampleRate == 0` means "send everything" (Low, Correctness)
+
+`factory.go:20-27` passes `cfg.SampleRate` through untouched, and `pkg/config/manager.go`
+registers **no default** for `error_tracking.sample_rate`. So an operator who leaves it out gets
+`0.0`, and `sentry-go@v0.46.2` `client.go:339-341` rewrites `0.0` → `1.0`.
+
+Verified in the module cache:
+
+```go
+if options.SampleRate == 0.0 {
+	options.SampleRate = 1.0
+}
+```
+
+Fail-open rather than fail-closed, which is arguably the right choice for an error tracker — but
+it means an operator who *intends* to disable sampling by setting `0` gets the opposite, silently.
+
+**Recommendation:** make `SampleRate` a `*float64` in the config struct, or register an explicit
+default in `setDefaults`, and validate/log the effective value at init.
+
+### 8. `factory.go` imports `pkg/config` (Low, Architecture)
+
+`factory.go:6` — `errortracking` is imported by `pkg/logger`, which is imported by essentially
+everything. Pulling `pkg/config` (and therefore `viper`) into that dependency chain means the
+lowest-level logging path transitively depends on the configuration layer. It works today only
+because `pkg/config` imports nothing from ResolveSpec; the first time it wants to log, there is
+an import cycle.
+
+**Recommendation:** move `NewProviderFromConfig` into `pkg/config`-adjacent wiring code (or take
+a small local options struct instead of `config.ErrorTrackingConfig`) so `errortracking` stays a
+leaf.
+
+---
+
+## What looks right
+
+- **Concurrency is genuinely fine.** `SentryProvider` holds only an immutable `*sentry.Hub`;
+  `sentry.Hub` guards its own state with a mutex, and `CaptureEvent` hands off to a background
+  worker with a bounded queue, so it does not block the caller and does not need a lock here.
+- `GetHubFromContext(ctx)` with fallback to `s.hub` (`sentry.go:53-56`, `81-84`, `103-106`) is the
+  correct Sentry idiom and preserves per-request scope when middleware installs a hub.
+- Nil-input guards on all three capture methods (`sentry.go:47`, `76`, `98`) — a nil error, empty
+  message or nil recovered value is dropped rather than producing a junk event.
+- `event.Contexts` is safe to index: `sentry.NewEvent()` initialises the map, so
+  `event.Contexts["extra"] = ...` cannot nil-panic.
+- `NoOpProvider` means a disabled tracker is always safe to call — no nil checks needed at call
+  sites beyond the one in `pkg/logger`.
+- `factory.go:15-17` correctly refuses to start with `provider: sentry` and an empty DSN rather
+  than silently no-oping.
+
+## Panic handling
+
+The package neither panics nor recovers, which is correct for its role — it is the *sink* for
+panic reports, not a place that should be generating them. The nil-guards in finding "what looks
+right" cover the realistic nil-deref paths. One residual: `CapturePanic` ranges over `extra`
+(`sentry.go:115`) without a nil check, which is safe in Go (ranging a nil map yields zero
+iterations) — noted only to confirm it was checked.
+
+## Suggested follow-up
+
+1. Add `BeforeSend` redaction (finding 1). This is the highest-value single change in the package.
+2. Stop using the global Sentry client (finding 2) — unblocks real multi-provider support and a
+   meaningful `Close()`.
+3. Widen `Flush` to a duration/context (finding 3) and wire it to the server shutdown budget.
+4. Add tests for the Sentry path. The existing test file covers only `NoOpProvider`, severity
+   string mapping and interface satisfaction — `SentryProvider`'s capture methods have no
+   coverage at all. `sentry-go` ships a test transport that makes this straightforward.

+- **Date:** 2026-09-29
+- **Scope:** `pkg/logger/logger.go` (211 LOC, 1 file, no tests)
+- **Axes:** thread locking/waiting · slowness · security · panic handling & logging

+
+## Summary
+
+`pkg/logger` is a thin package-global wrapper over `zap.SugaredLogger` plus a fan-out to
+`pkg/errortracking`. It is the single most widely imported package in the repo, so its defects
+are systemic. Two classes of problem dominate: **unsynchronised global mutable state** (a real
+data race between logger re-initialisation and request-path logging), and **unbounded,
+unsampled, unscrubbed egress of formatted messages to a third-party error tracker** on every
+`Warn`/`Error` call — which under hostile input is both a data-leak and a cost/latency
+amplification channel.
+
+There are **zero tests** in this package.
+
+| # | Severity | Axis | Finding |
+|---|----------|------|---------|
+| 1 | **High** | Locking | Unsynchronised writes to `Logger` / `errorTracker` globals race with every log call |
+| 2 | **High** | Security | Every `Warn`/`Error` message is shipped verbatim to Sentry — no scrubbing, no allowlist |
+| 3 | **High** | Slowness | No rate limit, sampling or dedup on error-tracker fan-out; attacker-triggerable |
+| 4 | **High** | Panic | `CatchPanic` swallows panics unconditionally — and both call sites are security enforcement functions (fail-open) |
+| 5 | Medium | Slowness | `debug.Stack()` + full stack stringification on every recovered panic |
+| 6 | Medium | Security | `log.Printf(template, args...)` fallback is a format-string sink for caller-supplied text |
+| 7 | Medium | Security | No CRLF/control-char sanitisation on the stdlib fallback path → log injection |
+| 8 | Medium | Correctness | `Info`/`Debug` do not strip `context.Context` args; `Warn`/`Error` do |
+| 9 | Low | Correctness | `UpdateLogger` leaks the previous zap logger / file descriptor |
+| 10 | Low | Correctness | No `Sync()` exported → buffered log lines lost on exit |
+| 11 | Low | Slowness | `os.Getpid()` called on every log line |
+| 12 | Low | Observability | `UpdateLogger` build failure degrades silently to stdlib `log` |
+
+## Resolution status (2026-09-30)
+
+- **#1** — Fixed (earlier race work): `stateMu` RWMutex with `getLogger`/`swapLogger`/`getErrorTracker`; the exported `Logger` var is kept for compatibility
+- **#2** — Fixed: messages are scrubbed before `CaptureMessage` (URL credentials, `password=`/`token=`/`secret=`/`api_key=` values, `Bearer`/`Basic` tokens). Local logs are unchanged. Sentry `BeforeSend` and structured-field allowlisting are not done
+- **#3** — Partly fixed: global token bucket (burst 50, 20/s) plus per-severity/template dedup (1s, 1024 keys). Panics are not limited. The `error_tracking.sample_rate` default (Sentry maps 0 to 1.0) is still unset in `config/manager.go`
+- **#4** — Partly fixed: `CatchPanicRethrow` added. `pkg/security/provider.go:302` and `:443` still use the swallowing `CatchPanic`; left for the security audit pass
+- **#5** — Fixed: stack captured with `runtime.Stack` into a 16 KiB buffer. Per-fingerprint panic rate limiting not done
+- **#6** — Fixed: `Info`/`Debug` format first and fall back with `log.Printf("%s", ...)`. `gosec` was enabled separately
+- **#7** — Fixed: CR/LF and other control characters are escaped on the stdlib fallback path
+- **#8** — Fixed: `Info`/`Debug` strip `context.Context` args
+- **#9** — Fixed: the replaced logger is synced on `UpdateLogger`
+- **#10** — Fixed: `logger.Sync()` added. Not yet called from the server shutdown path
+- **#11** — Fixed: PID cached in a package var
+- **#12** — Partly fixed: `UpdateLoggerE` returns the build error and a failed build keeps the previous logger. `Init` still returns nothing
+- Tests: `pkg/logger/logger_test.go` (run with `-race`).
+
+---
+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. Unsynchronised global mutable state — data race (High, Locking)
+
+`logger.go:14-15`
+
+```go
+var Logger *zap.SugaredLogger
+var errorTracker errortracking.Provider
+```
+
+`Logger` is written by `Init` → `UpdateLogger` (`logger.go:51`) and by `UpdateLoggerPath`
+(`logger.go:29`). `errorTracker` is written by `InitErrorTracking` (`logger.go:57`) and read by
+`GetErrorTracker`, `CloseErrorTracking`, `Warn`, `Error`, `CatchPanicCallback`, `HandlePanic`.
+
+Every read site (`logger.go:100`, `108`, `123`, `139`, `156`, `199`) is unguarded. There is no
+mutex, no `atomic.Value`, no `sync.Once`.
+
+- **Benign case:** everything is initialised once in `main` before goroutines start. Then it's fine.
+- **Real case:** `UpdateLoggerPath` is an exported, runtime-callable API. A config reload, a
+  log-rotation hook, or a test helper calling it while HTTP handlers log concurrently is an
+  unsynchronised write to an interface value and a pointer, concurrent with reads. Under the Go
+  memory model this is undefined behaviour; in practice a torn interface read (type word from the
+  new value, data word from the old) faults.
+- `CloseErrorTracking` (`logger.go:69`) does a read-check-then-use on `errorTracker` with no
+  guard, so a concurrent `InitErrorTracking(nil)` yields a nil-interface dereference inside
+  `Flush`.
+
+**Recommendation:** store both behind `atomic.Pointer`/`atomic.Value` (or an `sync.RWMutex`),
+and gate first-time init behind `sync.Once`. Run the test suite with `-race` — see finding 12 of
+`audit/pkg/config.audit.md` for the same pattern in the config singleton.
+
+### 2. Unscrubbed message egress to third-party error tracker (High, Security)
+
+`logger.go:110-118` and `logger.go:126-134`
+
+```go
+message := fmt.Sprintf(template, remainingArgs...)
+...
+errorTracker.CaptureMessage(ctx, message, errortracking.SeverityError, ...)
+```
+
+*Every* `Warn` and `Error` call in the entire codebase has its fully-formatted message sent to
+the configured provider (Sentry, in practice). There is no allowlist, no redaction hook, and
+`pkg/errortracking/sentry.go` configures no `BeforeSend` scrubber.
+
+Concretely, formatted error strings across `pkg/` embed: SQL fragments and bound values, DB
+connection strings, schema/table/column identifiers, filter expressions built from request
+input, and raw request bodies in a few handlers. Under the hostile-client threat model this is
+two problems at once:
+
+- **Outbound data leak:** secrets that appear in wrapped driver errors (DSNs, credentials from
+  `pq`/`pgx` connect failures) leave the trust boundary to a SaaS endpoint.
+- **Attacker-controlled exfil channel:** an attacker who can shape a value that ends up in an
+  error message gets that value written to a third-party system — useful for exfiltrating data
+  read out of the DB via an induced error.
+
+**Recommendation:** add a redaction step before `CaptureMessage`/`CapturePanic` (regex-strip
+DSN/`password=`/bearer-token shapes at minimum), and set Sentry's `BeforeSend` as a second
+layer. Prefer passing structured fields with an explicit allowlist over shipping the rendered
+string.
+
+### 3. No rate limiting or sampling on error-tracker fan-out (High, Slowness)
+
+`logger.go:113`, `logger.go:129`
+
+An unauthenticated request that reliably produces one `Error` log (a malformed filter, an unknown
+column, a bad JSON body — all of which the spec handlers log at error level) becomes one Sentry
+event. At even modest request rates this means:
+
+- Sentry quota burn → a direct billing-DoS.
+- `sentry-go` enqueues onto a bounded worker queue; once saturated events are dropped, so the
+  *real* errors are the ones lost.
+- `pkg/errortracking/sentry.go:34` passes `SampleRate` straight through from config, and
+  `config/manager.go` sets **no default** for it. `sentry-go@v0.46.2` `client.go:339` maps
+  `SampleRate == 0.0` → `1.0`, so the out-of-the-box behaviour is *send 100% of events*.
+
+**Recommendation:** default `error_tracking.sample_rate` to something < 1.0 for the message path,
+and put a token-bucket or a fingerprint-dedup in front of `CaptureMessage`. Keep panics at 100%.
+
+### 4. `CatchPanic` swallows panics unconditionally, fail-open at both call sites (High, Panic handling)
+
+`logger.go:145-176`
+
+```go
+func CatchPanicCallback(location string, cb func(err any), args ...interface{}) func() {
+	...
+	if err := recover(); err != nil { ... if cb != nil { cb(err) } }
+}
+```
+
+The recovered value is logged and then discarded. There is no variant that logs-and-re-panics
+and no way for the caller to signal "this panic means state is corrupt, take the process down".
+
+This is the right default for an HTTP handler boundary. The two current call sites are **not**
+handler boundaries:
+
+- `pkg/security/provider.go:302` — `defer logger.CatchPanic("ApplyColumnSecurity")()`
+- `pkg/security/provider.go:443` — `defer logger.CatchPanic("GetRowSecurityTemplate")()`
+
+Both are *security enforcement* functions. Swallowing a panic there means the column-security
+filter or row-security template silently does not get applied, and the caller — which has no way
+to learn a panic occurred, since `CatchPanic` returns nothing and sets no error — proceeds as if
+security was applied. That is a fail-open security control; see
+`audit/pkg/security.audit.md` for the full write-up of those two sites.
+
+Separately: a panic while a mutex is held does not release that mutex unless an intervening
+`defer Unlock` exists, so swallowing converts a crash into a permanent deadlock at any
+lock-holding call site.
+
+**Recommendation:** add `CatchPanicRethrow(location string)` for internal use and reserve the
+swallowing form for the outermost request/goroutine boundary. Document which is which.
+
+### 5. Full stack capture on every recovered panic (Medium, Slowness)
+
+`logger.go:158` and `logger.go:197`
+
+```go
+callstack := debug.Stack()
+```
+
+`debug.Stack()` stops the world briefly and allocates; `HandlePanic` then formats the whole trace
+into a string *and* ships it to Sentry. Because panics on the request path are recovered rather
+than fatal (finding 4), an attacker who finds one reliably-panicking input turns each request
+into a stack capture + string build + network event. That is a solid amplification factor over a
+normal request.
+
+**Recommendation:** cap the captured stack (`runtime.Stack` into a fixed 8–16 KiB buffer rather
+than `debug.Stack()`'s grow-until-it-fits loop), and rate-limit identical panic fingerprints.
+
+### 6. Format-string sink in the stdlib fallback (Medium, Security)
+
+`logger.go:100`, `logger.go:142` (and `108`/`123` with `"%s"`, correctly)
+
+```go
+func Info(template string, args ...interface{}) {
+	if Logger == nil {
+		log.Printf(template, args...)   // template is the caller's, args may be empty
+```
+
+`Info` and `Debug` pass `template` directly to `log.Printf`. If any caller ever does
+`logger.Info(someUserString)` — the idiomatic-looking single-argument call — a `%s` or `%n` in
+that string is interpreted as a verb, producing `%!s(MISSING)` garbage and mangled logs. Note
+`Warn`/`Error` already avoid this on the fallback path by using `log.Printf("%s", message)`;
+`Info`/`Debug` do not.
+
+A grep of `pkg/` found **no** current single-argument call sites, so this is a latent API footgun
+rather than a live bug — but it is one that costs one line to close.
+
+**Recommendation:** mirror `Warn`'s shape: format first, then `log.Printf("%s", message)`.
+`govet` runs by default under golangci-lint v2's standard set, and its `printf` analyser infers
+wrappers like these — so once the fallback is fixed, call sites are checked at build time for
+free. (Note `gosec` is *not* in `.golangci.json`'s `linters.enable` list; it appears only in the
+exclusion rules. Worth enabling repo-wide.)
+
+### 7. No log-injection sanitisation on the fallback path (Medium, Security)
+
+On the zap path, the JSON encoder escapes newlines and control characters, so injected content
+can't forge a log record. On the `Logger == nil` fallback path, `log.Printf` writes raw bytes: a
+value containing `\n2026-09-29 ... level=info authorized=true` forges a plausible second log
+line. Combined with finding 12 (silent degradation to the fallback path) this is reachable
+without the operator noticing the encoder changed.
+
+**Recommendation:** strip/escape `\r`, `\n` and other C0 control characters from formatted
+messages before the stdlib write.
+
+### 8. `Info`/`Debug` don't strip `context.Context` arguments (Medium, Correctness)
+
+`extractContext` (`logger.go:79-98`) exists precisely so callers can pass a `ctx` as a trailing
+variadic arg. `Warn` (`logger.go:106`) and `Error` (`logger.go:121`) call it. `Info`
+(`logger.go:99`) and `Debug` (`logger.go:137`) **do not** — they pass every arg to `Sprintf`.
+
+So `logger.Info("saved %s", name, ctx)` renders as
+`saved widget%!(EXTRA *context.valueCtx=context.Background...)`, dumping the context's contents
+(which in this codebase carry auth/tenant values) into the log line. That is both noise and a
+minor disclosure.
+
+**Recommendation:** call `extractContext` in all four level functions for uniform behaviour.
+
+### 9. `UpdateLogger` leaks the previous logger (Low)
+
+`logger.go:37-53` builds a new zap logger and overwrites `Logger` without calling `Sync()`/close
+on the old one. `UpdateLoggerPath` opens a new file sink each call; repeated calls leak a file
+descriptor each time and buffered lines in the old logger are lost.
+
+### 10. No `Sync()` on shutdown (Low)
+
+Nothing in the package exposes `Logger.Sync()`, and `CloseErrorTracking` (`logger.go:69`) flushes
+only the error tracker. zap buffers writes to file sinks, so the last lines before exit — often
+the interesting ones — are dropped. Add `func Sync() error` and call it from the server's
+shutdown path alongside `CloseErrorTracking`.
+
+### 11. `os.Getpid()` per log line (Low, Slowness)
+
+`logger.go:102`, `111`, `127`, `140`, `165`, `202`. On Linux `getpid` is cached by the runtime so
+this is cheap, but the PID cannot change for the life of the process — cache it in a package var
+and drop six calls from the hot path.
+
+### 12. Silent degradation when the logger fails to build (Low, Observability)
+
+`logger.go:45-49`
+
+```go
+logger, err := config.Build()
+if err != nil { log.Print(err); return }
+```
+
+`Logger` stays `nil`, so the whole process silently falls back to unstructured stdlib logging
+(and thereby onto the format-string and log-injection paths of findings 6 and 7) with a single
+line of warning that itself goes to stderr. A bad `logger.path` in config (unwritable directory)
+triggers exactly this.
+
+**Recommendation:** return the error from `Init`/`UpdateLogger` and let the caller decide whether
+to fail startup.
+
+---
+
+## What looks right
+
+- `extractContext` correctly ignores second and subsequent contexts rather than fighting over them.
+- `Warn`/`Error` use `log.Printf("%s", message)` on the fallback path — the safe form.
+- `HandlePanic` returns an `error` rather than swallowing, which lets callers convert a panic into
+  a normal error return. This is the better of the two panic idioms in the package.
+- The `errortracking.Provider` indirection means a nil/noop provider is always safe to call.
+
+## Suggested follow-up
+
+1. Guard the two globals (finding 1) — prerequisite for running the suite under `-race`.
+2. Add redaction + sampling in front of the error-tracker fan-out (findings 2, 3).
+3. Split `CatchPanic` into swallow/rethrow variants and re-audit the ~60 `recover()` sites
+   listed in the other package audits against the split (finding 4).
+4. Add a test file. Minimum: concurrent `UpdateLogger` + `Error` under `-race`, `Info` with a
+   `%`-bearing message, and nil-provider paths.

+# Audit — `pkg/modelregistry`
+
+- **Date:** 2026-09-29
+- **Scope:** `pkg/modelregistry/model_registry.go` (381 LOC, 1 file, **no tests**)
+- **Axes:** thread locking/waiting · slowness · security · panic handling & logging
+- **Threat model:** hostile internet client. This package holds the `ModelRules` that
+  `pkg/security/hooks.go` consults to authorise read/update/create/delete, so it is **on the
+  authorisation path**.
+
+## Summary
+
+This package is the highest-risk find in the audit. It has been deliberately reworked to "never
+hang" by replacing blocking `Lock`/`RLock` with **bounded `TryLock` retry loops that give up and
+return a wrong answer** — and because those wrong answers are consumed by
+`pkg/security/hooks.go` as authorisation decisions, the result is an **authorisation control that
+fails open under lock contention**.
+
+The comments in the file are explicit about the trade-off ("falls back to the last known value
+without synchronization", "the call is a no-op") — so the hazard was known at the time of writing.
+What appears not to have been traced is where those degraded results end up. They end up in
+`checkModelUpdateAllowed` / `checkModelDeleteAllowed`, which treat any error as *permit*.
+
+There are **no tests** in this package and no `-race` coverage of it anywhere.
+
+| # | Severity | Axis | Finding |
+|---|----------|------|---------|
+| 1 | **Critical** | Security + Locking | `GetModel`'s "registry locked" error is consumed by `pkg/security/hooks.go` as *allow by default* → authorisation fails open under write-lock contention |
+| 2 | **High** | Locking | `GetDefaultRegistry` documents and performs an unsynchronised read of `defaultRegistry` on lock-acquire failure — a data race by design |
+| 3 | **High** | Locking | `SetDefaultRegistry` silently no-ops after ~20 ms of contention; caller gets no error |
+| 4 | **High** | Security | `RegisterModelWithRules` is non-atomic: the model is visible with permissive `DefaultModelRules` before its real rules are applied (TOCTOU) |
+| 5 | Medium | Correctness | `GetAllModels` returns an empty map, and `GetModels` silently skips whole registries, on lock-acquire failure |
+| 6 | Medium | Locking | `IterateModels` invokes the caller's callback while holding `RLock` → guaranteed self-deadlock if the callback touches the registry |
+| 7 | Medium | Slowness | `time.Sleep(1ms)` spin loops add up to 20 ms of latency per call and defeat mutex fairness/hand-off |
+| 8 | Medium | Locking | `defaultRegistry` is read unsynchronised by six package-level functions while `SetDefaultRegistry` writes it under lock |
+| 9 | Medium | Locking | Inconsistent discipline: `SetModelRules`/`GetModelRules`/`AddRegistry`/`IterateModels` use blocking locks; the rest use try-locks |
+| 10 | Low | Slowness/Locking | Reflection (`TypeOf`, unwrap loop, `reflect.New`) runs while holding the registry **write** lock |
+| 11 | Low | Availability | Unbounded unwrap loop: a recursive pointer type (`type T *T`) spins forever holding the write lock (**verified**) |
+| 12 | Low | Panic | Package has no `recover` anywhere, and calls a caller-supplied callback under a lock (see 6) |
+| 13 | Low | Security | `DefaultModelRules()` grants `CanRead/Update/Create/Delete: true` — registration without explicit rules is fully mutable |
+
+## Resolution (2026-09-30)
+
+Fixed in `pkg/modelregistry/model_registry.go`, `pkg/security/hooks.go`, and new
+`pkg/modelregistry/model_registry_test.go` (passes under `-race`).
+
+| # | Status | What changed |
+|---|--------|--------------|
+| 1 | **Fixed** | Added sentinels `ErrModelNotFound`, `ErrModelExists`, `ErrInvalidModel` (wrapped, `errors.Is`-friendly). `checkModelUpdateAllowed`/`checkModelDeleteAllowed` now allow-by-default **only** on `ErrModelNotFound`; any other error denies. Lookups can no longer return a "locked" error at all. |
+| 2 | **Fixed** | `GetDefaultRegistry` uses a plain `RLock`; no unsynchronised fallback. |
+| 3 | **Fixed** | `SetDefaultRegistry` uses a blocking `Lock` (cannot silently no-op); a nil registry is ignored. |
+| 4 | **Fixed** | `RegisterModelWithRules` and `RegisterModel` share `registerLocked`, which writes model + rules under one lock acquisition. |
+| 5 | **Fixed** | `GetAllModels`/`GetModels` use blocking locks and can no longer return empty/partial results due to contention. Signatures unchanged (`GetAllModels` is used through interfaces by resolvespec/restheadspec/openapi). |
+| 6 | **Fixed** | `IterateModels` iterates a snapshot; the callback runs with no lock held (regression test re-enters the registry). |
+| 7 | **Fixed** | Try-lock/sleep helpers and `lockRetry*` constants removed. |
+| 8 | **Fixed** | All package-level functions go through `GetDefaultRegistry()` / `registriesSnapshot()`; `defaultRegistry` is only touched under `registriesMutex`. |
+| 9 | **Fixed** | One discipline: blocking locks, snapshot-and-release, documented lock order (`registriesMutex` before a registry's mutex). |
+| 10 | **Fixed** | Reflection/validation (`validateModel`) runs before the write lock is taken. |
+| 11 | **Fixed** | Unwrap loop capped at 16 levels; `type T *T` now returns `ErrInvalidModel` (tested). |
+| 12 | **Fixed** | Sentinel errors added. `IterateModels` recovers a callback panic per model, logs it via `logger.HandlePanic` with the model name, and continues; `validateModel` recovers reflection panics and returns `ErrInvalidModel` so registration fails closed. No lock is held during either, so the registry cannot be wedged. |
+| 13 | **Accepted (decision)** | Allow-by-default retained deliberately: `DefaultModelRules()` still grants read/update/create/delete. Callers wanting restrictions must use `RegisterModelWithRules`/`SetModelRules`. |
+
+Tests added: sentinel errors, recursive pointer type, pointer normalisation, atomic
+`RegisterModelWithRules` (concurrent reader never sees permissive rules), re-entrant `IterateModels`,
+cross-registry `GetModelRulesByName`, and a concurrent `-race` stress test.
+
+Not changed: the `pkg/security` middleware-wiring question (context fast-path) remains tracked in
+`audit/pkg/security.audit.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. Authorisation fails open under lock contention (Critical, Security + Locking)
+
+The mechanism spans two packages.
+
+**Here**, `GetModel` conflates "not found" with "could not lock" into a single `error` return
+(`model_registry.go:198-210`):
+
+```go
+func (r *DefaultModelRegistry) GetModel(name string) (interface{}, error) {
+	if !r.tryRLock() {
+		return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to get model %s: registry locked", name)
+	}
+	defer r.mutex.RUnlock()
+
+	model, exists := r.models[name]
+	if !exists {
+		return nil, fmt.Errorf("model %s not found", name)
+	}
+	return model, nil
+}
+```
+
+`GetModelRulesByName` (`model_registry.go:364-376`) uses `GetModel` as its existence probe:
+
+```go
+for _, registry := range registries {
+	if _, err := registry.GetModel(name); err == nil {
+		return registry.GetModelRules(name)
+	}
+}
+return ModelRules{}, fmt.Errorf("model %s not found in any registry", name)
+```
+
+So a `tryRLock` failure makes the registry look like it does not contain the model.
+
+**In `pkg/security/hooks.go`**, that outcome is interpreted as *permit*
+(`pkg/security/hooks.go:274-294`, and identically at `:298-318`):
+
+```go
+func checkModelUpdateAllowed(secCtx SecurityContext) error {
+	rules, ok := GetModelRulesFromContext(secCtx.GetContext())
+	if !ok {
+		schema := secCtx.GetSchema()
+		entity := secCtx.GetEntity()
+		var err error
+		if schema != "" {
+			rules, err = modelregistry.GetModelRulesByName(fmt.Sprintf("%s.%s", schema, entity))
+		}
+		if err != nil || schema == "" {
+			rules, err = modelregistry.GetModelRulesByName(entity)
+		}
+		if err != nil {
+			return nil // model not registered, allow by default
+		}
+	}
+	if !rules.CanUpdate {
+		return fmt.Errorf("update not allowed for %s", secCtx.GetEntity())
+	}
+	return nil
+}
+```
+
+Note the context fast-path at `hooks.go:275`: if `NewModelAuthMiddleware` already put rules in the
+context, the registry is not consulted and this bug does not fire. The registry fallback runs
+whenever that middleware is absent or did not resolve rules — so the blast radius depends on
+deployment wiring. `audit/pkg/security.audit.md` covers whether that middleware is mandatory.
+
+`return nil` from `checkModelUpdateAllowed` means **the update is authorised**. Same for
+`checkModelDeleteAllowed`. `GetModelRules(name)` for the "found" path also uses a blocking
+`RLock` (`model_registry.go:253`) — so the two calls in `GetModelRulesByName` don't even use the
+same locking discipline.
+
+**Failure scenario.** A model `public.employees` is registered with `CanDelete: false`. A
+concurrent `RegisterModel` (or `SetModelRules`, or `RegisterModelWithRules`) holds the write lock
+for longer than `lockRetryAttempts * lockRetryDelay` = 20 ms — which is entirely achievable given
+finding 10 (reflection under the write lock) and finding 7 (each waiter sleeps in 1 ms
+increments, so N waiters serialise). During that window every `DELETE` request against
+`public.employees` has `GetModelRulesByName` return an error, `checkModelDeleteAllowed` return
+`nil`, and the delete proceeds. The model's `CanDelete: false` is not enforced.
+
+This is remotely triggerable if any request path can cause a model registration or a rules
+update; even without that, it is a straightforward race that will fire under load.
+
+**Recommendation, in order of value:**
+
+1. Make the security layer **fail closed**: distinguish a sentinel `ErrModelNotFound` from any
+   other error, and only allow-by-default on `ErrModelNotFound`. Any other error must deny.
+2. Delete the try-lock scheme here entirely and use plain `RLock`/`Lock` (see finding 2 for why
+   the scheme does not achieve its stated goal anyway).
+3. Separate the existence probe from the rules fetch so `GetModelRulesByName` takes each registry's
+   lock once and returns a typed "found / not found / unavailable" result.
+
+### 2. `GetDefaultRegistry` races by design (High, Locking)
+
+`model_registry.go:71-84`
+
+```go
+// GetDefaultRegistry returns the current default registry. It uses a
+// bounded TryRLock instead of a blocking RLock so it can never hang;
+// if the lock can't be acquired in time it falls back to the last known
+// value without synchronization.
+func GetDefaultRegistry() *DefaultModelRegistry {
+	for i := 0; i < lockRetryAttempts; i++ {
+		if registriesMutex.TryRLock() {
+			defer registriesMutex.RUnlock()
+			return defaultRegistry
+		}
+		time.Sleep(lockRetryDelay)
+	}
+	return defaultRegistry
+}
+```
+
+The `return defaultRegistry` on line 83 reads a pointer that `SetDefaultRegistry`
+(`model_registry.go:89-116`) writes under the write lock. The only time this path is taken is
+precisely when a writer holds or is contending for the lock — i.e. the fallback executes
+*exactly* in the window where the race is live. The trade is not "hang vs. slightly stale value";
+it is "block for 20 ms vs. data race", and a torn/`nil` pointer read here means a nil-pointer
+dereference in the caller.
+
+The premise is also wrong: a `sync.RWMutex.RLock` that is only ever held for a map lookup cannot
+"hang". The hang this was written to avoid must have had a different root cause — most likely
+finding 6 (self-deadlock through `IterateModels`) or a lock-ordering inversion — and the try-lock
+scheme papers over it rather than fixing it.
+
+**Recommendation:** revert to `RLock`/`RUnlock`. If a real hang was observed, reproduce it under
+`-race` and `GODEBUG=gctrace`/`SIGQUIT` stack dump; the fix belongs at the deadlock, not here.
+
+### 3. `SetDefaultRegistry` silently no-ops (High, Locking)
+
+`model_registry.go:90-100`
+
+```go
+acquired := false
+for i := 0; i < lockRetryAttempts; i++ {
+	if registriesMutex.TryLock() { acquired = true; break }
+	time.Sleep(lockRetryDelay)
+}
+if !acquired {
+	return
+}
+```
+
+The function returns no error. A caller that swaps in a registry — plausibly one with *restrictive*
+`ModelRules* — has no way to learn the swap did not happen, and continues believing the new
+registry is in effect. Every subsequent authorisation check consults the old registry's rules.
+
+`GetModels` (`model_registry.go:319-329`) has the same shape and returns `nil`.
+
+**Recommendation:** return `error` from `SetDefaultRegistry`; or (better) use a blocking `Lock`,
+since this is a startup-time operation where blocking is correct.
+
+### 4. `RegisterModelWithRules` is non-atomic (High, Security)
+
+`model_registry.go:270-282`
+
+```go
+func (r *DefaultModelRegistry) RegisterModelWithRules(name string, model interface{}, rules ModelRules) error {
+	// First register the model
+	if err := r.RegisterModel(name, model); err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+
+	// Then set the rules (we need to lock again for rules)
+	r.mutex.Lock()
+	defer r.mutex.Unlock()
+	r.rules[name] = rules
+	return nil
+}
+```
+
+`RegisterModel` releases the write lock before returning, and it initialises the model's rules to
+`DefaultModelRules()` (`model_registry.go:191-194`) — which is **permissive**:
+`CanRead/CanUpdate/CanCreate/CanDelete` all `true`.
+
+Between the two lock acquisitions, any concurrent `GetModelRulesByName` sees the model registered
+with full read/update/create/delete permission, regardless of the restrictive `rules` the caller
+passed. The comment "we need to lock again for rules" acknowledges the re-lock without noticing
+the gap it opens.
+
+**Failure scenario.** `RegisterModelWithRules("public.audit_log", AuditLog{}, ModelRules{CanRead:
+true})` — intended read-only. A `DELETE /public.audit_log/...` that lands in the window is
+authorised because `rules.CanDelete` is `true` from the default.
+
+**Recommendation:** add an unexported `registerLocked(name, model, rules)` that writes both maps
+under one lock acquisition, and build both public constructors on it. Also change the default
+initialisation in `RegisterModel` to deny-by-default, or require rules at registration.
+
+### 5. Degraded results indistinguishable from real results (Medium, Correctness)
+
+Three functions return a plausible-looking answer when they cannot lock:
+
+- `GetAllModels` (`model_registry.go:212-215`) — `return make(map[string]interface{})`, i.e. "the
+  registry is empty".
+- `GetModels` (`model_registry.go:327-329`) — `return nil` on `registriesMutex` failure, and
+  `model_registry.go:336-338` `continue`s past any individual registry it cannot read, returning a
+  **partial** list with no indication of truncation.
+- `GetDefaultRegistry` — finding 2.
+
+Consumers of `GetModels`/`GetAllModels` (schema introspection, OpenAPI generation, migration
+helpers) will emit a document that is missing models, and there is no error to log. Note these two
+have no callers in `pkg/` today, which is the only reason this is Medium.
+
+**Recommendation:** return `(T, error)`; never manufacture an empty-but-valid result.
+
+### 6. `IterateModels` calls a user callback under a read lock (Medium, Locking)
+
+`model_registry.go:307-314`
+
+```go
+func IterateModels(fn func(name string, model interface{})) {
+	defaultRegistry.mutex.RLock()
+	defer defaultRegistry.mutex.RUnlock()
+
+	for name, model := range defaultRegistry.models {
+		fn(name, model)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+`fn` is arbitrary caller code running with `defaultRegistry.mutex` read-held. `sync.RWMutex` is not
+reentrant, and once a writer is blocked on `Lock` it also blocks *new* readers. So:
+
+- `fn` calling `modelregistry.RegisterModel` / `SetModelRules` → `Lock` waits for the reader, which
+  is the same goroutine. **Permanent self-deadlock.**
+- `fn` calling `GetModel` → `tryRLock` fails for 20 ms and returns "registry locked" for every
+  model, which is silent nonsense rather than a deadlock (and feeds finding 1).
+- `fn` doing anything slow (I/O, a DB call) holds the registry read lock for that whole duration,
+  blocking all registration and — via the blocked-writer rule — all other readers too.
+
+This is the most likely original cause of the "hang" the try-lock scheme was introduced to work
+around.
+
+**Recommendation:** snapshot under the lock, release, then iterate:
+
+```go
+func IterateModels(fn func(name string, model interface{})) {
+	reg := GetDefaultRegistry()
+	snapshot := reg.GetAllModels()   // takes and releases the lock
+	for name, model := range snapshot {
+		fn(name, model)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### 7. `time.Sleep` spin loops (Medium, Slowness)
+
+`tryLock` (`model_registry.go:128-136`), `tryRLock` (`:140-148`), and the inline loops in
+`GetDefaultRegistry`, `SetDefaultRegistry`, `GetModels`.
+
+```go
+for i := 0; i < lockRetryAttempts; i++ {
+	if r.mutex.TryLock() { return true }
+	time.Sleep(lockRetryDelay)   // 1ms
+}
+```
+
+Problems:
+
+- **Latency floor.** A contended call costs a multiple of 1 ms even if the lock frees after 10 µs,
+  because the waiter is asleep. A blocking `Lock` would be handed the mutex in microseconds. So the
+  "no-hang" scheme is *slower* in the common contended case, not faster.
+- **No fairness.** `sync.Mutex` has a starvation-avoidance mode that hands the lock to a waiter
+  queued > 1 ms. `TryLock` participates in none of it, so a try-lock waiter can be starved
+  indefinitely by a stream of blocking `Lock` callers (`SetModelRules`, `AddRegistry`,
+  `IterateModels` all still block) — see finding 9.
+- **Timer churn.** 20 timer allocations per contended call.
+- Sleeping in a loop scales badly: 50 concurrent callers each sleep and wake 20 times, producing
+  1000 needless scheduler round-trips for what a mutex does with one park/unpark.
+
+**Recommendation:** delete the try-lock helpers. If a bounded wait is genuinely required for an
+SLO, express it as `context`-aware acquisition (a buffered-channel semaphore with a `select` on
+`ctx.Done()`), which gives a real deadline *and* a real error — not a silent wrong answer.
+
+### 8. `defaultRegistry` read without the guarding mutex (Medium, Locking)
+
+`SetDefaultRegistry` writes `defaultRegistry` (`model_registry.go:110`) under `registriesMutex`.
+These read it **without** taking that mutex:
+
+- `RegisterModel` (`model_registry.go:288`)
+- `IterateModels` (`model_registry.go:308`, `311`)
+- `SetModelRules` (`model_registry.go:354`)
+- `GetModelRules` (`model_registry.go:359`)
+- `GetDefaultRegistry`'s fallback (`model_registry.go:83`, finding 2)
+
+A data race on the pointer, and semantically these functions may operate on the *previous* default
+registry after a swap — so rules set through `SetModelRules` can land on a registry nobody consults
+any more.
+
+**Recommendation:** route every access through one accessor that takes the lock (and make
+`defaultRegistry` an `atomic.Pointer[DefaultModelRegistry]` if lock-free reads are wanted — that is
+the correct way to get the "never blocks" property finding 2 was reaching for).
+
+### 9. Inconsistent locking discipline (Medium, Locking)
+
+Within one 381-line file:
+
+| Function | `registriesMutex` | `r.mutex` |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GetDefaultRegistry` | `TryRLock` + fallback | — |
+| `SetDefaultRegistry` | `TryLock`, no-op on fail | — |
+| `AddRegistry` (`:120`) | blocking `Lock` | — |
+| `GetModelByName` (`:293`) | blocking `RLock` | via `GetModel` → `TryRLock` |
+| `GetModelRulesByName` (`:365`) | blocking `RLock` | `TryRLock` then blocking `RLock` |
+| `GetModels` (`:318`) | `TryRLock`, nil on fail | `tryRLock`, skip on fail |
+| `RegisterModel` (`:150`) | — | `tryLock`, error on fail |
+| `GetModel` (`:198`) | — | `tryRLock`, error on fail |
+| `GetAllModels` (`:212`) | — | `tryRLock`, empty on fail |
+| `SetModelRules` (`:237`) | — | blocking `Lock` |
+| `GetModelRules` (`:252`) | — | blocking `RLock` |
+| `IterateModels` (`:307`) | — | blocking `RLock` |
+
+Four different failure behaviours for the same class of event. The mix also means the try-lock
+callers can be starved by the blocking ones (finding 7), so the functions that "can never hang" are
+the ones most likely to return garbage.
+
+**Recommendation:** pick one discipline — blocking locks with snapshot-and-release — and apply it
+uniformly.
+
+### 10. Reflection under the write lock (Low, Slowness + Locking)
+
+`RegisterModel` holds `r.mutex` (write) from `model_registry.go:151` through `:195`, and inside
+that window does `reflect.TypeOf` (`:161`), the unwrap loop (`:169-171`), `reflect.New(...).Elem().Interface()`
+(`:181`), and another `reflect.TypeOf` (`:185`). None of that touches `r.models`/`r.rules` and none
+of it needs the lock.
+
+This directly lengthens the window that makes finding 1 exploitable. Validate first, then take the
+lock only for the two map writes.
+
+### 11. Unbounded unwrap loop on a recursive pointer type (Low, Availability)
+
+`model_registry.go:169-171`
+
+```go
+for modelType.Kind() == reflect.Pointer || modelType.Kind() == reflect.Slice || modelType.Kind() == reflect.Array {
+	modelType = modelType.Elem()
+}
+```
+
+`type T *T` is legal Go, and `reflect.Type.Elem()` on it returns itself — so the loop never
+terminates. **Verified experimentally:**
+
+```go
+type T *T
+var x T
+tt := reflect.TypeOf(x)            // main.T
+for tt.Kind() == reflect.Pointer { tt = tt.Elem() }   // spins on main.T forever
+// → "INFINITE LOOP CONFIRMED after 101 iterations, still main.T"
+```
+
+Because the loop runs with the write lock held (finding 10), this doesn't just hang one goroutine —
+it wedges the registry permanently, at which point every try-lock caller starts returning
+"registry locked", which via finding 1 means **authorisation fails open for the rest of the process
+lifetime**.
+
+Requires a pathological model type, so exploitability is near zero; the fix is a one-line depth cap
+and it converts a permanent fail-open into an error return.
+
+**Recommendation:** bound the loop (`for depth := 0; depth < 16 && ...; depth++`) and return an
+error if the cap is hit.
+
+### 12. No panic handling at all (Low, Panic handling)
+
+The package contains **zero** `recover()` calls and never logs — it does not import `pkg/logger`.
+For a pure data structure that is a defensible choice, with two caveats:
+
+- `IterateModels` runs a caller callback under a read lock (finding 6). If `fn` panics, the
+  `defer RUnlock` does release the lock, so the registry is not wedged — that part is fine — but
+  the panic propagates to whatever boundary handler exists, and nothing here records which model
+  was being processed. A `logger`-free package can still name the model in a re-panic.
+- Every failure mode in the package is reported as a `fmt.Errorf` string with no wrapping and no
+  sentinel values, so callers cannot distinguish them (finding 1). That is the panic/error-handling
+  defect that actually matters here.
+
+**Recommendation:** define `ErrModelNotFound`, `ErrModelExists`, `ErrRegistryUnavailable` as
+sentinels and wrap them, so `errors.Is` works at the security layer.
+
+### 13. Permissive default rules (Low, Security)
+
+`DefaultModelRules()` (`model_registry.go:24-36`) returns `CanRead`, `CanUpdate`, `CanCreate`,
+`CanDelete` all `true`. `RegisterModel` applies it to any model registered without explicit rules
+(`model_registry.go:191-194`), and `GetModelRules` falls back to it as well (`model_registry.go:266`).
+
+The `CanPublic*` flags default to `false` and `SecurityDisabled` to `false`, which is right. But the
+authenticated-path flags default open, so `RegisterModel(name, m)` — the form used by
+`pkg/testmodels/business.go` `RegisterTestModels` and the `modelregistry.RegisterModel` convenience wrapper —
+yields a fully mutable model. Combined with `pkg/security/hooks.go`'s allow-on-error, the system's
+default posture at every layer is permit.
+
+**Recommendation:** default to deny and make permissions opt-in, or at minimum log at registration
+time when a model is registered without explicit rules.
+
+---
+
+## What looks right
+
+- The struct-vs-pointer validation in `RegisterModel` (`model_registry.go:160-194`) is careful and
+  well-reasoned: it rejects `nil`, unwraps pointer/slice/array to find the base type, rejects
+  non-struct kinds with a message naming the original type, normalises a pointer/slice input to a
+  zero struct value, and re-checks the final type. The error message even tells the caller to use
+  `MyModel{}` instead of `&MyModel{}`. Good API ergonomics.
+- Duplicate registration is rejected (`model_registry.go:156-158`) rather than silently overwriting
+  — important, since silent overwrite would be a rules-replacement primitive.
+- `GetAllModels` returns a **copy** of the map (`model_registry.go:218-222`) rather than the
+  internal one, so callers cannot mutate registry state or race on it after the lock is dropped.
+  This is the pattern the rest of the package should follow.
+- `GetModelByEntity` (`model_registry.go:225-234`) tries `schema.entity` before bare `entity`,
+  which is the right precedence and matches what `pkg/security/hooks.go` does.
+- `GetModels` de-duplicates by name across registries (`model_registry.go:335-347`), so
+  registry-order precedence is consistent with `GetModelByName`'s first-match rule.
+- Every `defer` for an acquired lock is correctly paired; there is no missing-`Unlock` path. The
+  problems here are about *which* lock discipline was chosen, not about leaking locks.
+
+## Suggested follow-up
+
+Ordered by risk:
+
+1. **Make `pkg/security/hooks.go` fail closed** (finding 1). This is the single change that
+   converts a Critical authorisation bypass into a Medium availability issue. It does not require
+   touching this package.
+2. **Remove the try-lock scheme** (findings 2, 3, 5, 7, 9) and fix the underlying hang by
+   snapshotting in `IterateModels` (finding 6).
+3. **Make `RegisterModelWithRules` atomic** (finding 4).
+4. Route `defaultRegistry` access through a single locked accessor or `atomic.Pointer` (finding 8).
+5. Move reflection out of the write-locked region and cap the unwrap loop (findings 10, 11).
+6. **Add tests.** This package has none. Priority cases: `-race` test with concurrent
+   `RegisterModel` + `GetModelRulesByName` asserting that rules are *never* observed as permissive
+   for a restrictively-registered model; a test that `GetModelRulesByName` under contention does
+   not return a "not found"-shaped error; `IterateModels` with a callback that calls back into the
+   registry (should not deadlock); sentinel-error assertions.

+# Audit — `pkg/testmodels`
+
+- **Date:** 2026-09-29
+- **Scope:** `pkg/testmodels/business.go` (161 LOC, 1 file, **no tests**)
+- **Axes:** thread locking/waiting · slowness · security · panic handling & logging
+- **Threat model:** hostile internet client. These models are registered into
+  `pkg/modelregistry`, which means any model here becomes a reachable entity for the spec handlers.
+
+## Summary
+
+Six GORM struct definitions (`Department`, `Employee`, `Project`, `ProjectTask`, `Document`,
+`Comment`) used as fixtures, plus two registration helpers. No concurrency, no I/O, no panics, no
+logging — so three of the four audit axes are trivially clean.
+
+Two real issues: **all six registration errors are discarded**, and this fixture package ships in
+`pkg/` (not `_test.go`, not `internal/`) where a consuming application can register test tables
+into a production registry.
+
+| # | Severity | Axis | Finding |
+|---|----------|------|---------|
+| 1 | Medium | Correctness | `RegisterTestModels` discards all six `RegisterModel` error returns |
+| 2 | Medium | Security | Fixtures live in exported `pkg/`, registerable into a production model registry |
+| 3 | Low | Security | Models are registered via `RegisterModel`, which applies permissive `DefaultModelRules` |
+| 4 | Low | Correctness | `GetTestModels()` return order is unrelated to FK dependency order |
+| 5 | Low | Correctness | `Document.Path` is an unconstrained filesystem path exposed as a writable API field |
+
+---
+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. All registration errors discarded (Medium, Correctness)
+
+`business.go:142-149`
+
+```go
+func RegisterTestModels(registry *modelregistry.DefaultModelRegistry) {
+	registry.RegisterModel("departments", Department{})
+	registry.RegisterModel("employees", Employee{})
+	registry.RegisterModel("projects", Project{})
+	registry.RegisterModel("project_tasks", ProjectTask{})
+	registry.RegisterModel("documents", Document{})
+	registry.RegisterModel("comments", Comment{})
+}
+```
+
+`RegisterModel` returns `error` and every return value is dropped. The function itself returns
+nothing, so a caller cannot detect failure either.
+
+This matters more than usual because of how `pkg/modelregistry.RegisterModel` fails. It has two
+error paths (`pkg/modelregistry/model_registry.go:151-158`):
+
+```go
+if !r.tryLock() {
+	return fmt.Errorf("failed to register model %s: registry locked", name)
+}
+...
+if _, exists := r.models[name]; exists {
+	return fmt.Errorf("model %s already registered", name)
+}
+```
+
+The first is a **transient lock-contention failure** — see `audit/pkg/modelregistry.audit.md`
+finding 7, where a contended `tryLock` gives up after ~20 ms. So under concurrent registration, some
+subset of these six models silently fails to register, with no error, no log, and no panic. The
+process then runs with, say, `documents` and `comments` missing from the registry.
+
+That is not merely a missing-fixture annoyance. Per `audit/pkg/modelregistry.audit.md` finding 1, an
+unregistered model causes `pkg/security/hooks.go:274-294` to take the
+`return nil // model not registered, allow by default` branch — so a silently-failed registration
+turns into **authorisation fail-open** for that entity.
+
+Note `errcheck` is enabled (golangci-lint v2 standard set) but `.golangci.json` excludes
+`"tests?"` paths — `pkg/testmodels` does not match that pattern, so this *should* be flagged
+today. Worth checking whether the linter is actually run in CI.
+
+**Recommendation:** return `error`, and use `errors.Join` so a partial failure is reported in full:
+
+```go
+func RegisterTestModels(registry *modelregistry.DefaultModelRegistry) error {
+	return errors.Join(
+		registry.RegisterModel("departments", Department{}),
+		registry.RegisterModel("employees", Employee{}),
+		...
+	)
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Fixtures are exported from `pkg/` (Medium, Security)
+
+The package path is `github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/testmodels`, not a `_test.go` file and not
+under `internal/`. Consequences:
+
+- The six structs and both helpers are part of ResolveSpec's **public API surface**. They are
+  compiled into every binary that imports anything which transitively imports this package.
+- A consuming application (or a copy-pasted quickstart) that calls
+  `testmodels.RegisterTestModels(registry)` against its production registry makes
+  `departments`, `employees`, `projects`, `project_tasks`, `documents` and `comments` live entities
+  on the spec handlers, addressable by name. If the production database happens to have tables with
+  those names — `documents` and `comments` are very common names — the handlers will happily
+  read and write them under the permissive default rules of finding 3.
+- It also means any future model added here for test convenience automatically becomes reachable.
+
+Nothing in `pkg/` currently calls `RegisterTestModels` (only the test tree does), so this is a
+packaging hazard rather than a live exposure.
+
+**Recommendation:** move to `internal/testmodels` (blocks external import outright) or to a
+`testmodels_test` package / `testdata` helper. If it must stay importable for downstream tests,
+document loudly and consider a build tag.
+
+### 3. Registered with permissive default rules (Low, Security)
+
+`RegisterTestModels` uses `RegisterModel`, not `RegisterModelWithRules`. Per
+`pkg/modelregistry/model_registry.go:191-194`, that initialises each model with
+`DefaultModelRules()`, which grants `CanRead`, `CanUpdate`, `CanCreate` and `CanDelete` — see
+`audit/pkg/modelregistry.audit.md` finding 13. `CanPublic*` are `false`, which is the saving grace.
+
+If finding 2 is acted on this becomes moot; if these models are intended to stay registerable, they
+should be registered read-only.
+
+### 4. `GetTestModels()` order is not dependency order (Low, Correctness)
+
+`business.go:152-160` returns the models in declaration order:
+`Department, Employee, Project, ProjectTask, Document, Comment`.
+
+The FK graph is not satisfied by that order. `Employee.DepartmentID → Department.ID` happens to work,
+but `Document.OwnerID → Employee.ID` and `Document.ProjectID → Project.ID` mean `Document` must
+follow both, and `ProjectTask.AssigneeID → Employee.ID` and `ProjectTask.ProjectID → Project.ID`
+likewise. Coincidentally the declaration order does satisfy these — but nothing enforces it, and
+`Employee.ManagerID → Employee.ID` is self-referential, which several migration/auto-migrate paths
+handle only if the self-FK is deferred.
+
+Also the two `many2many` joins (`department_projects`, `employee_projects`, declared at
+`business.go:20`, `:45`, `:67-68`) are not in the returned list at all, so a caller using
+`GetTestModels()` to drive `AutoMigrate` gets the join tables only because GORM infers them from the
+tags — a Bun-based migration path (`pkg/common/adapters/database/bun.go`) would not.
+
+**Recommendation:** document that the order is migration-safe and add a comment stating the
+constraint, or return an explicitly ordered list with a test that asserts it.
+
+### 5. `Document.Path` is an unconstrained path field (Low, Security)
+
+`business.go:107`
+
+```go
+Path        string    `json:"path"`
+```
+
+No validation, no length limit, no `gorm` constraint. As a plain string column it is inert — the
+risk only materialises if some handler or downstream consumer uses it to open a file, at which point
+an attacker who can `POST`/`PATCH` a `Document` controls a filesystem path (`../../etc/passwd`,
+`/proc/self/environ`). The same applies to `ContentType` (`business.go:105`) if it is ever echoed
+into a response header unvalidated, and `Size` (`business.go:106`) which is a client-settable
+`int64` that can disagree with reality.
+
+Nothing in `pkg/` reads these fields, so this is a note about the fixture's shape rather than a
+present vulnerability — but it is a bad example to ship, since fixtures get copied.
+
+**Recommendation:** if these stay, mark `Path` as server-set (a `gorm:"->"` read-only tag, or
+exclude it from the writable column set) so the fixture demonstrates the safe pattern.
+
+---
+
+## Axis-by-axis
+
+- **Thread locking / waiting:** nothing to report. The package declares no goroutines, channels,
+  mutexes or atomics. Its only concurrency exposure is *through* `pkg/modelregistry`, covered in
+  finding 1 and in that package's audit.
+- **Slowness:** nothing to report. `RegisterTestModels` and `GetTestModels` are O(1) with six
+  elements and are startup-only. The `TableName()` methods (`business.go:23`, `:49`, `:73`, `:96`,
+  `:119`, `:137`) return constants — no allocation, no reflection.
+- **Security:** findings 2, 3, 5 — all about packaging and field shape, none about code behaviour.
+- **Panic handling and logging:** the package contains no `panic`, no `recover`, and does not import
+  `pkg/logger`. For plain struct definitions that is correct. The one place where logging *would*
+  belong is the discarded errors of finding 1 — silently dropping six error returns is the
+  panic/error-handling defect in this package, even though no panic is involved.
+
+## What looks right
+
+- Struct tags are consistent and complete: `json` on every field, `gorm:"primaryKey"` on every ID,
+  `gorm:"uniqueIndex"` on the natural keys (`Department.Code`, `Employee.Email`, `Project.Code`),
+  and explicit `foreignKey`/`references` on every relation rather than relying on GORM's inference.
+  That makes these fixtures genuinely useful for exercising the relation-expansion paths in
+  `pkg/restheadspec` and `pkg/resolvespec`.
+- `omitempty` on every relation field prevents empty relation arrays from bloating responses — which
+  matters, because these fixtures are what the handler tests measure payloads against.
+- Nullable FKs are correctly modelled as `*string` (`Employee.ManagerID` `business.go:35`,
+  `Document.ProjectID` `business.go:109`) rather than empty-string sentinels.
+- The self-referential manager/reports pair (`business.go:43-44`) and the two `many2many` relations
+  give reasonable coverage of the harder relation shapes — a genuinely well-chosen fixture set for
+  the recursive-preload logic audited in `audit/pkg/restheadspec.audit.md`.
+- `TableName()` is defined on the value receiver for all six, so it works whether a value or a
+  pointer is passed — which matters given `pkg/modelregistry.RegisterModel` normalises pointers to
+  values.
+
+## Suggested follow-up
+
+1. Return and check errors from `RegisterTestModels` (finding 1). One-line-per-call change, and it
+   closes a silent path to authorisation fail-open.
+2. Decide whether this package belongs in `pkg/` at all (finding 2). `internal/testmodels` is the
+   low-effort fix.
+3. Confirm `golangci-lint` runs in CI and that `errcheck` flags `business.go:143-148` — if it does
+   not, the exclusion patterns in `.golangci.json` need review, since this is exactly the class of
+   bug it exists to catch.

+- **Date:** 2026-09-29
+- **Scope:** `pkg/tracing/tracing.go` (146 LOC, 1 file, **no tests**)

+## Summary
+
+A thin OpenTelemetry wrapper: `InitTracer`, an HTTP middleware, and helpers. The abstraction is

+is wrong for a production, internet-facing deployment:

+- `sdktrace.AlwaysSample()` — **100% of requests** are traced, with no sampling knob in config.
+- `semconv.HTTPURLKey.String(r.URL.String())` — the **full URL including query string** is exported.
+
+Combined: every request's full URL is shipped unencrypted to a collector, and an attacker sets the
+export volume. Span names are also built from raw paths, giving unbounded cardinality.

+Fixed in `pkg/tracing/tracing.go`, `pkg/config` (`TracingConfig`, defaults), the package README, and new
+`pkg/tracing/tracing_test.go` (passes).
+
+| # | Status | What changed |
+|---|--------|--------------|
+| 1 | **Fixed** | TLS is the default. `Config` gains `Insecure`, `TLSConfig` and `Headers` (OTLP auth). `tracing.insecure` added to `pkg/config`. **Breaking:** plaintext collectors now need `Insecure: true`. |
+| 2 | **Fixed** | Query string and `Host` are no longer exported; attributes are method, `url.path`, scheme, `http.route`, status. `TLSConfig` has no config-file key (code only). |
+| 3 | **Fixed** | `ParentBased(TraceIDRatioBased(rate))`; `SampleRate` defaults to 0.1, validated to [0,1]; `tracing.sample_rate` added to `pkg/config`. |
+| 4 | **Fixed** | Span name is `METHOD <route template>` from `Request.Pattern`, `<unmatched>` otherwise. `MiddlewareWithRoute(fn)` supports other routers. |
+| 5 | **Fixed** | `tracer` is an `atomic.Pointer`; a second `InitTracer` returns an error; the shutdown func resets state. |
+| 6 | **Fixed** | Response writer wrapped; `http.response.status_code` recorded, 5xx sets Error status. Preserves `Flush`/`Unwrap`. |
+| 7 | **Fixed** | Panics are recorded (`RecordError`, Error status) and re-raised so the panic middleware still responds. Must be installed inside the panic middleware; actual order in `pkg/server` not verified. |
+| 8 | **Fixed** | `InitTracerContext(ctx, cfg)` with `InitTimeout` (default 10s); `InitTracer` retained as a wrapper. Exporter is shut down if resource creation fails. |
+| 9 | **Fixed** | Moved to `semconv/v1.26.0`. |
+| 10 | **Fixed** | `AttributeValueLengthLimit` set via `WithRawSpanLimits` (`AttributeValueLimit`, default 1024). |
+
+Tests added: query redaction and route naming, unmatched route, 5xx status, panic recorded and re-raised,
+double-init and invalid sample rate.

+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. `WithInsecure()` hardcoded (High, Security)
+
+`tracing.go:38-42`
+
+```go
+client := otlptracegrpc.NewClient(
+	otlptracegrpc.WithEndpoint(config.Endpoint),
+	otlptracegrpc.WithInsecure(), // Use WithTLSCredentials in production
+)
+```
+
+The comment names the fix and the code does not implement it, and — critically — `Config`
+(`tracing.go:21-27`) has no field to express it:
+
+```go
+type Config struct {
+	ServiceName    string
+	ServiceVersion string
+	Endpoint       string
+	Enabled        bool
+}
+```
+
+So there is **no supported way** to enable TLS on trace export short of editing this file. Every
+span — carrying the full request URL per finding 2 — crosses the network in cleartext, and the
+collector endpoint is unauthenticated (no OTLP headers/bearer token option either), so anything that
+can reach it can also *inject* fabricated spans.
+
+**Recommendation:** add `Insecure bool`, `TLSConfig *tls.Config` and `Headers map[string]string` to
+`Config` (and the matching `tracing.*` keys to `pkg/config`), default to TLS on, and require an
+explicit opt-in for insecure. Wire `otlptracegrpc.WithTLSCredentials` / `WithHeaders`.
+
+### 2. Full URL with query string exported (High, Security)
+
+`tracing.go:95-103`
+
+```go
+ctx, span := tracer.Start(ctx, r.Method+" "+r.URL.Path,
+	trace.WithSpanKind(trace.SpanKindServer),
+	trace.WithAttributes(
+		semconv.HTTPMethodKey.String(r.Method),
+		semconv.HTTPURLKey.String(r.URL.String()),   // <- full URL, query string included
+		semconv.HTTPTargetKey.String(r.URL.Path),
+		semconv.HTTPSchemeKey.String(r.URL.Scheme),
+		semconv.NetHostNameKey.String(r.Host),
+	),
+)
+```
+
+`r.URL.String()` includes `RawQuery`. For this API the query string is where the interesting data
+lives: filter expressions, column lists, and — for any client that passes credentials as a query
+parameter (`?api_key=`, `?token=`, signed-URL style parameters) — secrets. All of it lands in the
+tracing backend, and per finding 1 it gets there in plaintext.
+
+Note `HTTPTargetKey` is also set to `r.URL.Path`, so the *useful* part is already captured
+separately; `HTTPURLKey` adds only the sensitive part.
+
+Secondary: `r.Host` comes from the `Host` header, which is client-controlled and unvalidated here —
+so an attacker can pollute the `net.host.name` dimension with arbitrary values (cardinality blowup,
+and log/dashboard spoofing).
+
+**Recommendation:** export a redacted URL (scheme + host + path, query keys only or dropped
+entirely). OTel's own guidance is to strip or redact query parameters for exactly this reason.
+
+### 3. `AlwaysSample()` hardcoded (High, Slowness)
+
+`tracing.go:61-65`
+
+```go
+tp := sdktrace.NewTracerProvider(
+	sdktrace.WithBatcher(exporter),
+	sdktrace.WithResource(res),
+	sdktrace.WithSampler(sdktrace.AlwaysSample()),
+)
+```
+
+Every request produces a recorded, exported span. There is no `SampleRate` in `Config` and no
+`tracing.sample_rate` key in `pkg/config/manager.go`'s defaults, so this is not tunable.
+
+Under the hostile-client threat model the request rate — and therefore the span rate, the batch
+queue pressure, the serialisation cost and the outbound bandwidth — is set by the attacker. Each
+request pays span allocation, attribute encoding (including the full URL string), and a share of
+batch export. When the batch queue fills, the SDK drops spans, so a flood also destroys the
+observability you need to see the flood.
+
+**Recommendation:** default to `sdktrace.ParentBased(sdktrace.TraceIDRatioBased(rate))` with a
+configurable rate (e.g. 0.01–0.1), keeping `AlwaysSample` available for development. `ParentBased`
+also means an upstream sampling decision is respected, which `AlwaysSample` currently overrides.
+
+### 4. Unbounded span-name cardinality (Medium, Slowness)
+
+`tracing.go:95` — the span name is `r.Method + " " + r.URL.Path`.
+
+This API's paths embed identifiers (`/api/public/employees/7f3c…`, `/api/<schema>/<entity>/<id>`), so
+each distinct ID becomes a distinct span name. Consequences:
+
+- Tracing backends index on span name; unbounded distinct names is the classic cardinality-explosion
+  cost bomb (and in some backends, a hard limit that starts rejecting data).
+- It violates the OTel HTTP convention, which requires a **low-cardinality route template**
+  (`GET /api/{schema}/{entity}/{id}`), with the concrete value in `http.route`/attributes.
+- It is attacker-driven: requests to random paths — including 404s — each mint a new span name.
+
+**Recommendation:** derive the name from the matched route pattern. `pkg/server`'s router
+(chi/mux/gin, see `audit/pkg/server.audit.md`) exposes the route template after matching; use it, and
+place this middleware after the router so the pattern is available. Fall back to
+`r.Method + " " + "<unmatched>"` rather than the raw path.
+
+### 5. Unsynchronised `tracer` global (Medium, Locking)
+
+`tracing.go:19`
+
+```go
+var tracer trace.Tracer
+```
+
+Written at `tracing.go:77` (`tracer = tp.Tracer(config.ServiceName)`), read at `tracing.go:86`,
+`:95` (`Middleware`) and `:116`, `:119` (`StartSpan`). No mutex, no `atomic.Value`.
+
+Same pattern as `pkg/logger`'s `Logger` global (see `audit/pkg/logger.audit.md` finding 1). Benign if
+`InitTracer` runs once before any request is served; a race the moment tracing is re-initialised at
+runtime. `InitTracer` is exported and callable at any time, and calling it twice also leaks the
+first `TracerProvider` (nothing shuts it down) — its batch processor goroutine and gRPC connection
+stay alive for the life of the process.
+
+Note the nil checks at `:86` and `:116` are the read-half of the race: a goroutine can observe a
+non-nil-but-torn interface value.
+
+**Recommendation:** `atomic.Pointer` or a `sync.Once`-guarded init; return an error from a second
+`InitTracer` call, or shut down the previous provider first.
+
+### 6. No HTTP status or error status on spans (Medium, Observability)
+
+`Middleware` (`tracing.go:84-112`) never wraps `w`, so it cannot observe the status code. It sets no
+`semconv.HTTPStatusCodeKey` and never calls `span.SetStatus`. Every span therefore has status
+`Unset`, which tracing backends render as "OK".
+
+The practical effect: you cannot find failing requests in the traces. A 500-storm and a healthy
+period look identical in the span data, which defeats the main reason to run tracing on an
+internet-facing service.
+
+**Recommendation:** wrap the `ResponseWriter` to capture the status, set
+`semconv.HTTPStatusCodeKey.Int(status)`, and `span.SetStatus(codes.Error, ...)` for 5xx.
+
+### 7. No panic handling in the middleware (Medium, Panic handling)
+
+`Middleware` has `defer span.End()` (`tracing.go:106`) but no `recover()`. If `next.ServeHTTP`
+panics:
+
+- The `defer span.End()` **does** run, so no span is leaked — that part is correct.
+- But the span is ended with status `Unset` and no exception event, so the panic is invisible in the
+  trace. The one place a trace would be most valuable records nothing.
+- The panic propagates up to whichever handler is outermost. Whether that is
+  `pkg/middleware/panic.go` depends on middleware ordering — if `tracing.Middleware` is installed
+  *outside* the panic middleware, the panic escapes to `net/http`'s per-connection recovery, which
+  kills the connection and logs to the default logger, bypassing `pkg/logger` and the error tracker
+  entirely. See `audit/pkg/middleware.audit.md` and `audit/pkg/server.audit.md` for the actual order.
+
+This package does not import `pkg/logger` at all, so nothing here can be logged.
+
+**Recommendation:** recover, record `span.RecordError` + `span.SetStatus(codes.Error, …)`, then
+re-panic so the dedicated panic middleware still handles the response. Document the required
+middleware order.
+
+### 8. No deadline on initialisation (Low, Slowness)
+
+`tracing.go:36` uses `ctx := context.Background()` for both `otlptrace.New` (`:44`) and
+`resource.New` (`:51`). `otlptracegrpc` does not block on connect by default, so this is unlikely to
+hang today — but `resource.New` with detectors can perform network calls (cloud metadata endpoints),
+and an unreachable metadata service is a classic multi-second startup stall. `InitTracer` should
+accept a `context.Context` from the caller so startup has a deadline.
+
+### 9. `semconv/v1.4.0` (Low, Maintenance)
+
+`tracing.go:15` pins the 2021 semantic conventions. `http.method`, `http.url`, `http.target`,
+`http.scheme`, `net.host.name` were all renamed in v1.20+ (`http.request.method`, `url.full`,
+`url.path`, `url.scheme`, `server.address`). Current collectors, dashboards and backend
+auto-instrumentation views key off the new names, so these spans will not populate standard HTTP
+dashboards.
+
+### 10. No limits on caller-supplied span data (Low, Security)
+
+`StartSpan`, `AddEvent`, `SetAttributes` (`tracing.go:115-145`) forward caller attributes verbatim.
+If any caller passes request-derived values (a filter expression, a row payload), span size is
+attacker-influenced. The SDK's default limits (128 attributes, 128 events) cap the count but not the
+*value* length — a 1 MB string attribute is accepted.
+
+**Recommendation:** set explicit `sdktrace.WithSpanLimits` including `AttributeValueLengthLimit`.
+
+---
+
+## What looks right
+
+- **Disabled path is genuinely free.** `InitTracer` with `Enabled: false` (`tracing.go:31-34`)
+  returns a no-op shutdown func and never builds an exporter, so a disabled deployment pays nothing
+  and cannot leak.
+- **Nil-tracer guards everywhere.** `Middleware` (`tracing.go:86-89`) passes through untouched and
+  `StartSpan` (`tracing.go:116-118`) returns the incoming context plus the context's (no-op) span.
+  So a partially-initialised process degrades safely rather than nil-panicking — a pattern
+  `pkg/logger` gets right too.
+- **Context propagation is correct.** `Extract` from `propagation.HeaderCarrier(r.Header)`
+  (`tracing.go:92`), a composite `TraceContext` + `Baggage` propagator (`tracing.go:72-75`), and
+  `r = r.WithContext(ctx)` (`tracing.go:109`) before calling `next` — the span context actually
+  reaches downstream handlers, which is the part most hand-rolled middlewares get wrong.
+- `SpanKindServer` is set correctly (`tracing.go:96`).
+- `WithBatcher` rather than a simple/sync span processor (`tracing.go:62`) — export does not block
+  the request path.
+- `InitTracer` returns `tp.Shutdown` (`tracing.go:80`), giving the caller a real flush-on-shutdown
+  hook with a caller-supplied context, which is better than the fixed-timeout pattern in
+  `pkg/errortracking` (see that audit, finding 3).
+- `RecordError` nil-guards (`tracing.go:140-143`) so `RecordError(ctx, nil)` is a no-op.
+
+## Suggested follow-up
+
+1. Extend `Config` with `Insecure`, TLS credentials, OTLP headers and `SampleRate`; add the matching
+   keys to `pkg/config` (findings 1, 3). These cannot be fixed without an API change, so they should
+   go together.
+2. Redact the query string from exported attributes (finding 2).
+3. Move to route-template span names, which requires positioning the middleware after routing
+   (finding 4).
+4. Capture status code and panics in the middleware (findings 6, 7).
+5. Guard the `tracer` global (finding 5) and upgrade `semconv` (finding 9).
+6. Add tests: this package has none. A tracetest/in-memory exporter makes assertions on span name,
+   attributes and status straightforward, and would have caught findings 2, 4 and 6.

+# Cache Package
+
+A flexible, provider-based caching library for Go that supports multiple backend storage systems including in-memory, Redis, and Memcache.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multiple Providers**: Support for in-memory, Redis, and Memcache backends
+- **Pluggable Architecture**: Easy to add custom cache providers
+- **Type-Safe API**: Automatic JSON serialization/deserialization
+- **TTL Support**: Configurable time-to-live for cache entries
+- **Context-Aware**: All operations support Go contexts
+- **Statistics**: Built-in cache statistics and monitoring
+- **Pattern Deletion**: Delete keys by pattern (Redis)
+- **Lazy Loading**: GetOrSet pattern for easy cache-aside implementation
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/cache
+```
+
+For Redis support:
+```bash
+go get github.com/redis/go-redis/v9
+```
+
+For Memcache support:
+```bash
+go get github.com/bradfitz/gomemcache/memcache
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### In-Memory Cache
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "time"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/cache"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Initialize with in-memory provider
+    cache.UseMemory(&cache.Options{
+        DefaultTTL: 5 * time.Minute,
+        MaxSize:    10000,
+    })
+    defer cache.Close()
+
+    ctx := context.Background()
+    c := cache.GetDefaultCache()
+
+    // Store a value
+    type User struct {
+        ID   int
+        Name string
+    }
+    user := User{ID: 1, Name: "John"}
+    c.Set(ctx, "user:1", user, 10*time.Minute)
+
+    // Retrieve a value
+    var retrieved User
+    c.Get(ctx, "user:1", &retrieved)
+}
+```
+
+### Redis Cache
+
+```go
+cache.UseRedis(&cache.RedisConfig{
+    Host:     "localhost",
+    Port:     6379,
+    Password: "",
+    DB:       0,
+    Options: &cache.Options{
+        DefaultTTL: 5 * time.Minute,
+    },
+})
+defer cache.Close()
+```
+
+### Memcache
+
+```go
+cache.UseMemcache(&cache.MemcacheConfig{
+    Servers: []string{"localhost:11211"},
+    Options: &cache.Options{
+        DefaultTTL: 5 * time.Minute,
+    },
+})
+defer cache.Close()
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Core Methods
+
+#### Set
+```go
+Set(ctx context.Context, key string, value interface{}, ttl time.Duration) error
+```
+Stores a value in the cache with automatic JSON serialization.
+
+#### Get
+```go
+Get(ctx context.Context, key string, dest interface{}) error
+```
+Retrieves and deserializes a value from the cache.
+
+#### SetBytes / GetBytes
+```go
+SetBytes(ctx context.Context, key string, value []byte, ttl time.Duration) error
+GetBytes(ctx context.Context, key string) ([]byte, error)
+```
+Store and retrieve raw bytes without serialization.
+
+#### Delete
+```go
+Delete(ctx context.Context, key string) error
+```
+Removes a key from the cache.
+
+#### DeleteByPattern
+```go
+DeleteByPattern(ctx context.Context, pattern string) error
+```
+Removes all keys matching a pattern (Redis only).
+
+#### Clear
+```go
+Clear(ctx context.Context) error
+```
+Removes all items from the cache.
+
+#### Exists
+```go
+Exists(ctx context.Context, key string) bool
+```
+Checks if a key exists in the cache.
+
+#### GetOrSet
+```go
+GetOrSet(ctx context.Context, key string, dest interface{}, ttl time.Duration,
+         loader func() (interface{}, error)) error
+```
+Retrieves a value from cache, or loads and caches it if not found (lazy loading).
+
+#### Stats
+```go
+Stats(ctx context.Context) (*CacheStats, error)
+```
+Returns cache statistics including hits, misses, and key counts.
+
+## Provider Configuration
+
+### In-Memory Options
+
+```go
+&cache.Options{
+    DefaultTTL:     5 * time.Minute,  // Default expiration time
+    MaxSize:        10000,             // Maximum number of items
+    EvictionPolicy: "LRU",             // Eviction strategy (future)
+}
+```
+
+### Redis Configuration
+
+```go
+&cache.RedisConfig{
+    Host:     "localhost",
+    Port:     6379,
+    Password: "",         // Optional authentication
+    DB:       0,          // Database number
+    PoolSize: 10,         // Connection pool size
+    Options:  &cache.Options{
+        DefaultTTL: 5 * time.Minute,
+    },
+}
+```
+
+### Memcache Configuration
+
+```go
+&cache.MemcacheConfig{
+    Servers:      []string{"localhost:11211"},
+    MaxIdleConns: 2,
+    Timeout:      1 * time.Second,
+    Options: &cache.Options{
+        DefaultTTL: 5 * time.Minute,
+    },
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Provider
+
+```go
+// Create a custom provider instance
+memProvider := cache.NewMemoryProvider(&cache.Options{
+    DefaultTTL: 10 * time.Minute,
+    MaxSize:    500,
+})
+
+// Initialize with custom provider
+cache.Initialize(memProvider)
+```
+
+### Lazy Loading Pattern
+
+```go
+var data ExpensiveData
+err := c.GetOrSet(ctx, "expensive:key", &data, 10*time.Minute, func() (interface{}, error) {
+    // This expensive operation only runs if key is not in cache
+    return computeExpensiveData(), nil
+})
+```
+
+### Query API Cache
+
+The package includes specialized functions for caching query results:
+
+```go
+// Cache a query result
+api := "GetUsers"
+query := "SELECT * FROM users WHERE active = true"
+tablenames := "users"
+total := int64(150)
+
+cache.PutQueryAPICache(ctx, api, query, tablenames, total)
+
+// Retrieve cached query
+hash := cache.HashQueryAPICache(api, query)
+cachedQuery, err := cache.FetchQueryAPICache(ctx, hash)
+```
+
+## Provider Comparison
+
+| Feature | In-Memory | Redis | Memcache |
+|---------|-----------|-------|----------|
+| Persistence | No | Yes | No |
+| Distributed | No | Yes | Yes |
+| Pattern Delete | No | Yes | No |
+| Statistics | Full | Full | Limited |
+| Atomic Operations | Yes | Yes | Yes |
+| Max Item Size | Memory | 512MB | 1MB |
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use contexts**: Always pass context for cancellation and timeout control
+2. **Set appropriate TTLs**: Balance between freshness and performance
+3. **Handle errors**: Cache misses and errors should be handled gracefully
+4. **Monitor statistics**: Use Stats() to monitor cache performance
+5. **Clean up**: Always call Close() when shutting down
+6. **Pattern consistency**: Use consistent key naming patterns (e.g., "user:id:field")
+
+## Example: Complete Application
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "log"
+    "time"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/cache"
+)
+
+type UserService struct {
+    cache *cache.Cache
+}
+
+func NewUserService() *UserService {
+    // Initialize with Redis in production, memory for testing
+    cache.UseRedis(&cache.RedisConfig{
+        Host: "localhost",
+        Port: 6379,
+        Options: &cache.Options{
+            DefaultTTL: 10 * time.Minute,
+        },
+    })
+
+    return &UserService{
+        cache: cache.GetDefaultCache(),
+    }
+}
+
+func (s *UserService) GetUser(ctx context.Context, userID int) (*User, error) {
+    var user User
+    cacheKey := fmt.Sprintf("user:%d", userID)
+
+    // Try to get from cache first
+    err := s.cache.GetOrSet(ctx, cacheKey, &user, 15*time.Minute, func() (interface{}, error) {
+        // Load from database if not in cache
+        return s.loadUserFromDB(userID)
+    })
+
+    if err != nil {
+        return nil, err
+    }
+
+    return &user, nil
+}
+
+func (s *UserService) InvalidateUser(ctx context.Context, userID int) error {
+    cacheKey := fmt.Sprintf("user:%d", userID)
+    return s.cache.Delete(ctx, cacheKey)
+}
+
+func main() {
+    service := NewUserService()
+    defer cache.Close()
+
+    ctx := context.Background()
+    user, err := service.GetUser(ctx, 123)
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+
+    log.Printf("User: %+v", user)
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **In-Memory**: Fastest but limited by RAM and not distributed
+- **Redis**: Great for distributed systems, persistent, but network overhead
+- **Memcache**: Good for distributed caching, simpler than Redis but less features
+
+Choose based on your needs:
+- Single instance? Use in-memory
+- Need persistence or advanced features? Use Redis
+- Simple distributed cache? Use Memcache

+# Automatic Relation Loading Strategies
+
+## Overview
+
+**NEW:** The database adapters now **automatically** choose the optimal loading strategy by inspecting your model's relationship tags!
+
+Simply use `PreloadRelation()` and the system automatically:
+- Detects relationship type from Bun/GORM tags
+- Uses **JOIN** for many-to-one and one-to-one (efficient, no duplication)
+- Uses **separate query** for one-to-many and many-to-many (avoids duplication)
+
+## How It Works
+
+```go
+// Just write this - the system handles the rest!
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&links).
+    PreloadRelation("Provider").  // ✓ Auto-detects belongs-to → uses JOIN
+    PreloadRelation("Tags").      // ✓ Auto-detects has-many → uses separate query
+    Scan(ctx, &links)
+```
+
+### Detection Logic
+
+The system inspects your model's struct tags:
+
+**Bun models:**
+```go
+type Link struct {
+    Provider   *Provider `bun:"rel:belongs-to"`   // → Detected: belongs-to → JOIN
+    Tags       []Tag     `bun:"rel:has-many"`     // → Detected: has-many → Separate query
+}
+```
+
+**GORM models:**
+```go
+type Link struct {
+    ProviderID int
+    Provider   *Provider `gorm:"foreignKey:ProviderID"`  // → Detected: belongs-to → JOIN
+    Tags       []Tag     `gorm:"many2many:link_tags"`    // → Detected: many-to-many → Separate query
+}
+```
+
+**Type inference (fallback):**
+- `[]Type` (slice) → has-many → Separate query
+- `*Type` (pointer) → belongs-to → JOIN
+- `Type` (struct) → belongs-to → JOIN
+
+### What Gets Logged
+
+Enable debug logging to see strategy selection:
+
+```go
+bunAdapter.EnableQueryDebug()
+```
+
+**Output:**
+```
+DEBUG: PreloadRelation 'Provider' detected as: belongs-to
+INFO:  Using JOIN strategy for belongs-to relation 'Provider'
+DEBUG: PreloadRelation 'Links' detected as: has-many
+DEBUG: Using separate query for has-many relation 'Links'
+```
+
+## Relationship Types
+
+| Bun Tag | GORM Pattern | Field Type | Strategy | Why |
+|---------|--------------|------------|----------|-----|
+| `rel:has-many` | Slice field | `[]Type` | Separate Query | Avoids duplicating parent data |
+| `rel:belongs-to` | `foreignKey:` | `*Type` | JOIN | Single parent, no duplication |
+| `rel:has-one` | Single pointer | `*Type` | JOIN | One-to-one, no duplication |
+| `rel:many-to-many` | `many2many:` | `[]Type` | Separate Query | Complex join, avoid cartesian |
+
+## Manual Override
+
+If you need to force a specific strategy, use `JoinRelation()`:
+
+```go
+// Force JOIN even for has-many (not recommended)
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&providers).
+    JoinRelation("Links").  // Explicitly use JOIN
+    Scan(ctx, &providers)
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Automatic Strategy Selection (Recommended)
+
+```go
+// Example 1: Loading parent provider for each link
+// System detects belongs-to → uses JOIN automatically
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&links).
+    PreloadRelation("Provider", func(q common.SelectQuery) common.SelectQuery {
+        return q.Where("active = ?", true)
+    }).
+    Scan(ctx, &links)
+
+// Generated SQL: Single query with JOIN
+// SELECT links.*, providers.*
+// FROM links
+// LEFT JOIN providers ON links.provider_id = providers.id
+// WHERE providers.active = true
+
+// Example 2: Loading child links for each provider
+// System detects has-many → uses separate query automatically
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&providers).
+    PreloadRelation("Links", func(q common.SelectQuery) common.SelectQuery {
+        return q.Where("active = ?", true)
+    }).
+    Scan(ctx, &providers)
+
+// Generated SQL: Two queries
+// Query 1: SELECT * FROM providers
+// Query 2: SELECT * FROM links
+//          WHERE provider_id IN (1, 2, 3, ...)
+//          AND active = true
+```
+
+### Mixed Relationships
+
+```go
+type Order struct {
+    ID         int
+    CustomerID int
+    Customer   *Customer `bun:"rel:belongs-to"`    // JOIN
+    Items      []Item    `bun:"rel:has-many"`      // Separate
+    Invoice    *Invoice  `bun:"rel:has-one"`       // JOIN
+}
+
+// All three handled optimally!
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&orders).
+    PreloadRelation("Customer").  // → JOIN (many-to-one)
+    PreloadRelation("Items").     // → Separate (one-to-many)
+    PreloadRelation("Invoice").   // → JOIN (one-to-one)
+    Scan(ctx, &orders)
+```
+
+## Performance Benefits
+
+### Before (Manual Strategy Selection)
+
+```go
+// You had to remember which to use:
+.PreloadRelation("Provider")  // Should I use PreloadRelation or JoinRelation?
+.PreloadRelation("Links")     // Which is more efficient here?
+```
+
+### After (Automatic Selection)
+
+```go
+// Just use PreloadRelation everywhere:
+.PreloadRelation("Provider")  // ✓ System uses JOIN automatically
+.PreloadRelation("Links")     // ✓ System uses separate query automatically
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+**No changes needed!** If you're already using `PreloadRelation()`, it now automatically optimizes:
+
+```go
+// Before: Always used separate query
+.PreloadRelation("Provider")  // Inefficient: extra round trip
+
+// After: Automatic optimization
+.PreloadRelation("Provider")  // ✓ Now uses JOIN automatically!
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Supported Bun Tags
+- `rel:has-many` → Separate query
+- `rel:belongs-to` → JOIN
+- `rel:has-one` → JOIN
+- `rel:many-to-many` or `rel:m2m` → Separate query
+
+### Supported GORM Patterns
+- `many2many:` tag → Separate query
+- `foreignKey:` tag → JOIN (belongs-to)
+- `[]Type` slice without many2many → Separate query (has-many)
+- `*Type` pointer with foreignKey → JOIN (belongs-to)
+- `*Type` pointer without foreignKey → JOIN (has-one)
+
+### Fallback Behavior
+- `[]Type` (slice) → Separate query (safe default for collections)
+- `*Type` or `Type` (single) → JOIN (safe default for single relations)
+- Unknown → Separate query (safest default)
+
+## Debugging
+
+To see strategy selection in action:
+
+```go
+// Enable debug logging
+bunAdapter.EnableQueryDebug()  // or gormAdapter.EnableQueryDebug()
+
+// Run your query
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&records).
+    PreloadRelation("RelationName").
+    Scan(ctx, &records)
+
+// Check logs for:
+// - "PreloadRelation 'X' detected as: belongs-to"
+// - "Using JOIN strategy for belongs-to relation 'X'"
+// - Actual SQL queries executed
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use PreloadRelation() for everything** - Let the system optimize
+2. **Define proper relationship tags** - Ensures correct detection
+3. **Only use JoinRelation() for overrides** - When you know better than auto-detection
+4. **Enable debug logging during development** - Verify optimal strategies are chosen
+5. **Trust the system** - It's designed to choose correctly based on relationship type

+# ResolveSpec Configuration System
+
+A centralized configuration system with support for multiple configuration sources: config files (YAML, TOML, JSON), environment variables, and programmatic configuration.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multiple Config Sources**: Config files, environment variables, and code
+- **Priority Order**: Environment variables > Config file > Defaults
+- **Multiple Formats**: YAML, TOML, JSON supported
+- **Type Safety**: Strongly-typed configuration structs
+- **Sensible Defaults**: Works out of the box with reasonable defaults
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```go
+import "github.com/heinhel/ResolveSpec/pkg/config"
+
+// Create a new config manager
+mgr := config.NewManager()
+
+// Load configuration from file and environment
+if err := mgr.Load(); err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+
+// Get the complete configuration
+cfg, err := mgr.GetConfig()
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+
+// Use the configuration
+fmt.Println("Server address:", cfg.Server.Addr)
+```
+
+### Custom Configuration Paths
+
+```go
+mgr := config.NewManagerWithOptions(
+    config.WithConfigFile("/path/to/config.yaml"),
+    config.WithEnvPrefix("MYAPP"),
+)
+```
+
+## Configuration Sources
+
+### 1. Config Files
+
+Place a `config.yaml` file in one of these locations:
+- Current directory (`.`)
+- `./config/`
+- `/etc/resolvespec/`
+- `$HOME/.resolvespec/`
+
+Example `config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+server:
+  addr: ":8080"
+  shutdown_timeout: 30s
+
+tracing:
+  enabled: true
+  service_name: "my-service"
+
+cache:
+  provider: "redis"
+  redis:
+    host: "localhost"
+    port: 6379
+```
+
+### 2. Environment Variables
+
+All configuration can be set via environment variables with the `RESOLVESPEC_` prefix:
+
+```bash
+export RESOLVESPEC_SERVER_ADDR=":9090"
+export RESOLVESPEC_TRACING_ENABLED=true
+export RESOLVESPEC_CACHE_PROVIDER=redis
+export RESOLVESPEC_CACHE_REDIS_HOST=localhost
+```
+
+Nested configuration uses underscores:
+- `server.addr` → `RESOLVESPEC_SERVER_ADDR`
+- `cache.redis.host` → `RESOLVESPEC_CACHE_REDIS_HOST`
+
+### 3. Programmatic Configuration
+
+```go
+mgr := config.NewManager()
+mgr.Set("server.addr", ":9090")
+mgr.Set("tracing.enabled", true)
+
+cfg, _ := mgr.GetConfig()
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Server Configuration
+
+```yaml
+server:
+  addr: ":8080"              # Server address
+  shutdown_timeout: 30s       # Graceful shutdown timeout
+  drain_timeout: 25s          # Connection drain timeout
+  read_timeout: 10s           # HTTP read timeout
+  write_timeout: 10s          # HTTP write timeout
+  idle_timeout: 120s          # HTTP idle timeout
+```
+
+### Tracing Configuration
+
+```yaml
+tracing:
+  enabled: false                                  # Enable/disable tracing
+  service_name: "resolvespec"                     # Service name
+  service_version: "1.0.0"                        # Service version
+  endpoint: "http://localhost:4318/v1/traces"     # OTLP endpoint
+```
+
+### Cache Configuration
+
+```yaml
+cache:
+  provider: "memory"  # Options: memory, redis, memcache
+
+  redis:
+    host: "localhost"
+    port: 6379
+    password: ""
+    db: 0
+
+  memcache:
+    servers:
+      - "localhost:11211"
+    max_idle_conns: 10
+    timeout: 100ms
+```
+
+### Logger Configuration
+
+```yaml
+logger:
+  dev: false    # Development mode (human-readable output)
+  path: ""      # Log file path (empty = stdout)
+```
+
+### Middleware Configuration
+
+```yaml
+middleware:
+  rate_limit_rps: 100.0       # Requests per second
+  rate_limit_burst: 200        # Burst size
+  max_request_size: 10485760   # Max request size in bytes (10MB)
+```
+
+### CORS Configuration
+
+```yaml
+cors:
+  allowed_origins:
+    - "*"
+  allowed_methods:
+    - "GET"
+    - "POST"
+    - "PUT"
+    - "DELETE"
+    - "OPTIONS"
+  allowed_headers:
+    - "*"
+  max_age: 3600
+```
+
+### Database Configuration
+
+```yaml
+database:
+  url: "host=localhost user=postgres password=postgres dbname=mydb port=5432 sslmode=disable"
+```
+
+## Priority and Overrides
+
+Configuration sources are applied in this order (highest priority first):
+
+1. **Environment Variables** (highest priority)
+2. **Config File**
+3. **Defaults** (lowest priority)
+
+This allows you to:
+- Set defaults in code
+- Override with a config file
+- Override specific values with environment variables
+
+## Examples
+
+### Production Setup
+
+```yaml
+# config.yaml
+server:
+  addr: ":8080"
+
+tracing:
+  enabled: true
+  service_name: "myapi"
+  endpoint: "http://jaeger:4318/v1/traces"
+
+cache:
+  provider: "redis"
+  redis:
+    host: "redis"
+    port: 6379
+    password: "${REDIS_PASSWORD}"
+
+logger:
+  dev: false
+  path: "/var/log/myapi/app.log"
+```
+
+### Development Setup
+
+```bash
+# Use environment variables for development
+export RESOLVESPEC_LOGGER_DEV=true
+export RESOLVESPEC_TRACING_ENABLED=false
+export RESOLVESPEC_CACHE_PROVIDER=memory
+```
+
+### Testing Setup
+
+```go
+// Override config for tests
+mgr := config.NewManager()
+mgr.Set("cache.provider", "memory")
+mgr.Set("database.url", testDBURL)
+
+cfg, _ := mgr.GetConfig()
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use config files for base configuration** - Define your standard settings
+2. **Use environment variables for secrets** - Never commit passwords/tokens
+3. **Use environment variables for deployment-specific values** - Different per environment
+4. **Keep defaults sensible** - Application should work with minimal configuration
+5. **Document your configuration** - Comment your config.yaml files
+
+## Integration with ResolveSpec Components
+
+The configuration system integrates seamlessly with ResolveSpec components:
+
+```go
+cfg, _ := config.NewManager().Load().GetConfig()
+
+// Server
+srv := server.NewGracefulServer(server.Config{
+    Addr:            cfg.Server.Addr,
+    ShutdownTimeout: cfg.Server.ShutdownTimeout,
+    // ... other fields
+})
+
+// Tracing
+if cfg.Tracing.Enabled {
+    tracer := tracing.Init(tracing.Config{
+        ServiceName:    cfg.Tracing.ServiceName,
+        ServiceVersion: cfg.Tracing.ServiceVersion,
+        Endpoint:       cfg.Tracing.Endpoint,
+    })
+    defer tracer.Shutdown(context.Background())
+}
+
+// Cache
+var cacheProvider cache.Provider
+switch cfg.Cache.Provider {
+case "redis":
+    cacheProvider = cache.NewRedisProvider(cfg.Cache.Redis.Host, cfg.Cache.Redis.Port, ...)
+case "memcache":
+    cacheProvider = cache.NewMemcacheProvider(cfg.Cache.Memcache.Servers, ...)
+default:
+    cacheProvider = cache.NewMemoryProvider()
+}
+
+// Logger
+logger.Init(cfg.Logger.Dev)
+if cfg.Logger.Path != "" {
+    logger.UpdateLoggerPath(cfg.Logger.Path, cfg.Logger.Dev)
+}
+```

+# Database Connection Manager (dbmanager)
+
+A comprehensive database connection manager for Go that provides centralized management of multiple named database connections with support for PostgreSQL, SQLite, MSSQL, and MongoDB.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multiple Named Connections**: Manage multiple database connections with names like `primary`, `analytics`, `cache-db`
+- **Multi-Database Support**: PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, and MongoDB
+- **Multi-ORM Access**: Each SQL connection provides access through:
+  - **Bun ORM** - Modern, lightweight ORM
+  - **GORM** - Popular Go ORM
+  - **Native** - Standard library `*sql.DB`
+  - All three share the same underlying connection pool
+- **SQLite Schema Translation**: Automatic conversion of `schema.table` to `schema_table` for SQLite compatibility
+- **Configuration-Driven**: YAML configuration with Viper integration
+- **Production-Ready Features**:
+  - Automatic health checks and reconnection
+  - Prometheus metrics
+  - Connection pooling with configurable limits
+  - Retry logic with exponential backoff
+  - Graceful shutdown
+  - OpenTelemetry tracing support
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/dbmanager
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Configuration
+
+Create a configuration file (e.g., `config.yaml`):
+
+```yaml
+dbmanager:
+  default_connection: "primary"
+
+  # Global connection pool defaults
+  max_open_conns: 25
+  max_idle_conns: 5
+  conn_max_lifetime: 30m
+  conn_max_idle_time: 5m
+
+  # Retry configuration
+  retry_attempts: 3
+  retry_delay: 1s
+  retry_max_delay: 10s
+
+  # Health checks
+  health_check_interval: 30s
+
+  connections:
+    # Primary PostgreSQL connection
+    primary:
+      type: postgres
+      host: localhost
+      port: 5432
+      user: myuser
+      password: mypassword
+      database: myapp
+      sslmode: disable
+      default_orm: bun
+      enable_metrics: true
+      enable_tracing: true
+      enable_logging: true
+
+    # Read replica for analytics
+    analytics:
+      type: postgres
+      dsn: "postgres://readonly:pass@analytics:5432/analytics"
+      default_orm: bun
+      enable_metrics: true
+
+    # SQLite cache
+    cache-db:
+      type: sqlite
+      filepath: /var/lib/app/cache.db
+      max_open_conns: 1
+
+    # MongoDB for documents
+    documents:
+      type: mongodb
+      host: localhost
+      port: 27017
+      database: documents
+      user: mongouser
+      password: mongopass
+      auth_source: admin
+      enable_metrics: true
+```
+
+### 2. Initialize Manager
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "log"
+
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/config"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/dbmanager"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Load configuration
+    cfgMgr := config.NewManager()
+    if err := cfgMgr.Load(); err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+    cfg, _ := cfgMgr.GetConfig()
+
+    // Create database manager
+    mgr, err := dbmanager.NewManager(cfg.DBManager)
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+    defer mgr.Close()
+
+    // Connect all databases
+    ctx := context.Background()
+    if err := mgr.Connect(ctx); err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+
+    // Your application code here...
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Use Database Connections
+
+#### Get Default Database
+
+```go
+// Get the default database (as configured common.Database interface)
+db, err := mgr.GetDefaultDatabase()
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+
+// Use it with any query
+var users []User
+err = db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&users).
+    Where("active = ?", true).
+    Scan(ctx, &users)
+```
+
+#### Get Named Connection with Specific ORM
+
+```go
+// Get primary connection
+primary, err := mgr.Get("primary")
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+
+// Use with Bun
+bunDB, err := primary.Bun()
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+err = bunDB.NewSelect().Model(&users).Scan(ctx)
+
+// Use with GORM (same underlying connection!)
+gormDB, err := primary.GORM()
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+gormDB.Where("active = ?", true).Find(&users)
+
+// Use native *sql.DB
+nativeDB, err := primary.Native()
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+rows, err := nativeDB.QueryContext(ctx, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE active = $1", true)
+```
+
+#### Cross-Database Example with SQLite
+
+```go
+// Same model works across all databases
+type User struct {
+    ID       int    `bun:"id,pk"`
+    Username string `bun:"username"`
+    Email    string `bun:"email"`
+}
+
+func (User) TableName() string {
+    return "auth.users"
+}
+
+// PostgreSQL connection
+pgConn, _ := mgr.Get("primary")
+pgDB, _ := pgConn.Bun()
+var pgUsers []User
+pgDB.NewSelect().Model(&pgUsers).Scan(ctx)
+// Executes: SELECT * FROM auth.users
+
+// SQLite connection
+sqliteConn, _ := mgr.Get("cache-db")
+sqliteDB, _ := sqliteConn.Bun()
+var sqliteUsers []User
+sqliteDB.NewSelect().Model(&sqliteUsers).Scan(ctx)
+// Executes: SELECT * FROM auth_users (schema.table → schema_table)
+```
+
+#### Use MongoDB
+
+```go
+// Get MongoDB connection
+docs, err := mgr.Get("documents")
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+
+mongoClient, err := docs.MongoDB()
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+
+collection := mongoClient.Database("documents").Collection("articles")
+// Use MongoDB driver...
+```
+
+#### Change Default Database
+
+```go
+// Switch to analytics database as default
+err := mgr.SetDefaultDatabase("analytics")
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+
+// Now GetDefaultDatabase() returns the analytics connection
+db, _ := mgr.GetDefaultDatabase()
+```

+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Health Checks
+
+```go
+// Manual health check
+if err := mgr.HealthCheck(ctx); err != nil {
+    log.Printf("Health check failed: %v", err)
+}
+
+// Per-connection health check
+primary, _ := mgr.Get("primary")
+if err := primary.HealthCheck(ctx); err != nil {
+    log.Printf("Primary connection unhealthy: %v", err)
+
+    // Manual reconnect
+    if err := primary.Reconnect(ctx); err != nil {
+        log.Printf("Reconnection failed: %v", err)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Connection Statistics
+
+```go
+// Get overall statistics
+stats := mgr.Stats()
+fmt.Printf("Total connections: %d\n", stats.TotalConnections)
+fmt.Printf("Healthy: %d, Unhealthy: %d\n", stats.HealthyCount, stats.UnhealthyCount)
+
+// Per-connection stats
+for name, connStats := range stats.ConnectionStats {
+    fmt.Printf("%s: %d open, %d in use, %d idle\n",
+        name,
+        connStats.OpenConnections,
+        connStats.InUse,
+        connStats.Idle)
+}
+
+// Individual connection stats
+primary, _ := mgr.Get("primary")
+stats := primary.Stats()
+fmt.Printf("Wait count: %d, Wait duration: %v\n",
+    stats.WaitCount,
+    stats.WaitDuration)
+```
+
+### Prometheus Metrics
+
+The package automatically exports Prometheus metrics:
+
+- `dbmanager_connections_total` - Total configured connections by type
+- `dbmanager_connection_status` - Connection health status (1=healthy, 0=unhealthy)
+- `dbmanager_connection_pool_size` - Connection pool statistics by state
+- `dbmanager_connection_wait_count` - Times connections waited for availability
+- `dbmanager_connection_wait_duration_seconds` - Total wait duration
+- `dbmanager_health_check_duration_seconds` - Health check execution time
+- `dbmanager_reconnect_attempts_total` - Reconnection attempts and results
+- `dbmanager_connection_lifetime_closed_total` - Connections closed due to max lifetime
+- `dbmanager_connection_idle_closed_total` - Connections closed due to max idle time
+
+Metrics are automatically updated during health checks. To manually publish metrics:
+
+```go
+if mgr, ok := mgr.(*connectionManager); ok {
+    mgr.PublishMetrics()
+}
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Single Connection Pool, Multiple ORMs
+
+A key design principle is that Bun, GORM, and Native all wrap the **same underlying `*sql.DB`** connection pool:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│        SQL Connection               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  ┌─────────┐  ┌──────┐  ┌────────┐ │
+│  │   Bun   │  │ GORM │  │ Native │ │
+│  └────┬────┘  └───┬──┘  └───┬────┘ │
+│       │           │         │      │
+│       └───────────┴─────────┘      │
+│              *sql.DB                │
+│         (single pool)               │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- No connection duplication
+- Consistent pool limits across all ORMs
+- Unified connection statistics
+- Lower resource usage
+
+### Provider Pattern
+
+Each database type has a dedicated provider:
+
+- **PostgresProvider** - Uses `pgx` driver
+- **SQLiteProvider** - Uses `glebarez/sqlite` (pure Go)
+- **MSSQLProvider** - Uses `go-mssqldb`
+- **MongoProvider** - Uses official `mongo-driver`
+
+Providers handle:
+- Connection establishment with retry logic
+- Health checking
+- Connection statistics
+- Connection cleanup
+
+### SQLite Schema Handling
+
+SQLite doesn't support schemas in the same way as PostgreSQL or MSSQL. To ensure compatibility when using models designed for multi-schema databases:
+
+**Automatic Translation**: When a table name contains a schema prefix (e.g., `myschema.mytable`), it is automatically converted to `myschema_mytable` for SQLite databases.
+
+```go
+// Model definition (works across all databases)
+func (User) TableName() string {
+    return "auth.users"  // PostgreSQL/MSSQL: "auth"."users"
+                         // SQLite: "auth_users"
+}
+
+// Query execution
+db.NewSelect().Model(&User{}).Scan(ctx)
+// PostgreSQL/MSSQL: SELECT * FROM auth.users
+// SQLite: SELECT * FROM auth_users
+```
+
+**How it Works**:
+- Bun, GORM, and Native adapters detect the driver type
+- `parseTableName()` automatically translates schema.table → schema_table for SQLite
+- Translation happens transparently in all database operations (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
+- Preload and relation queries are also handled automatically
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Write database-agnostic code
+- Use the same models across PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and SQLite
+- No conditional logic needed in your application
+- Schema separation maintained through naming convention in SQLite
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Named Connections**: Be explicit about which database you're accessing
+   ```go
+   primary, _ := mgr.Get("primary")    // Good
+   db, _ := mgr.GetDefaultDatabase()   // Risky if default changes
+   ```
+
+2. **Configure Connection Pools**: Tune based on your workload
+   ```yaml
+   connections:
+     primary:
+       max_open_conns: 100  # High traffic API
+       max_idle_conns: 25
+     analytics:
+       max_open_conns: 10   # Background analytics
+       max_idle_conns: 2
+   ```
+
+3. **Enable Health Checks**: Catch connection issues early
+   ```yaml
+   health_check_interval: 30s
+   ```
+
+4. **Use Appropriate ORM**: Choose based on your needs
+   - **Bun**: Modern, fast, type-safe - recommended for new code
+   - **GORM**: Mature, feature-rich - good for existing GORM code
+   - **Native**: Maximum control - use for performance-critical queries
+
+5. **Monitor Metrics**: Watch connection pool utilization
+   - If `wait_count` is high, increase `max_open_conns`
+   - If `idle` is always high, decrease `max_idle_conns`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Failures
+
+If connections fail to establish:
+
+1. Check configuration:
+   ```bash
+   # Test connection manually
+   psql -h localhost -U myuser -d myapp
+   ```
+
+2. Enable logging:
+   ```yaml
+   connections:
+     primary:
+       enable_logging: true
+   ```
+
+3. Check retry attempts:
+   ```yaml
+   retry_attempts: 5  # Increase retries
+   retry_max_delay: 30s
+   ```
+
+### Pool Exhaustion
+
+If you see "too many connections" errors:
+
+1. Increase pool size:
+   ```yaml
+   max_open_conns: 50  # Increase from default 25
+   ```
+
+2. Reduce connection lifetime:
+   ```yaml
+   conn_max_lifetime: 15m  # Recycle faster
+   ```
+
+3. Monitor wait stats:
+   ```go
+   stats := primary.Stats()
+   if stats.WaitCount > 1000 {
+       log.Warn("High connection wait count")
+   }
+   ```
+
+### MongoDB vs SQL Confusion
+
+MongoDB connections don't support SQL ORMs:
+
+```go
+docs, _ := mgr.Get("documents")
+
+// ✓ Correct
+mongoClient, _ := docs.MongoDB()
+
+// ✗ Error: ErrNotSQLDatabase
+bunDB, err := docs.Bun()  // Won't work!
+```
+
+SQL connections don't support MongoDB:
+
+```go
+primary, _ := mgr.Get("primary")
+
+// ✓ Correct
+bunDB, _ := primary.Bun()
+
+// ✗ Error: ErrNotMongoDB
+mongoClient, err := primary.MongoDB()  // Won't work!
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Raw `database/sql`
+
+Before:
+```go
+db, err := sql.Open("postgres", dsn)
+defer db.Close()
+
+rows, err := db.Query("SELECT * FROM users")
+```
+
+After:
+```go
+mgr, _ := dbmanager.NewManager(cfg.DBManager)
+mgr.Connect(ctx)
+defer mgr.Close()
+
+primary, _ := mgr.Get("primary")
+nativeDB, _ := primary.Native()
+
+rows, err := nativeDB.Query("SELECT * FROM users")
+```
+
+### From Direct Bun/GORM
+
+Before:
+```go
+sqldb, _ := sql.Open("pgx", dsn)
+bunDB := bun.NewDB(sqldb, pgdialect.New())
+
+var users []User
+bunDB.NewSelect().Model(&users).Scan(ctx)
+```
+
+After:
+```go
+mgr, _ := dbmanager.NewManager(cfg.DBManager)
+mgr.Connect(ctx)
+
+primary, _ := mgr.Get("primary")
+bunDB, _ := primary.Bun()
+
+var users []User
+bunDB.NewSelect().Model(&users).Scan(ctx)
+```
