-# Red-Team Extreme Scenarios
-
-Use this reference to force adversarial thinking before implementation changes.
-
-## Attacker goals
-
-Map each review to one or more attacker goals:
-
-1. Drain funds directly (unauthorized transfer, over-withdrawal, liquidation abuse)
-2. Create synthetic value (rounding mint, accounting mismatch, replay settlement)
-3. Block system availability (DoS against settlement or risk controls)
-4. Gain privilege (role escalation, cross-tenant access, admin action abuse)
-5. Corrupt risk signals (oracle/feed manipulation, stale data acceptance)
-
-## Attacker capabilities baseline
-
-Assume attacker can:
-
-- Send high-frequency concurrent requests.
-- Replay identical requests/messages with altered timing.
-- Provide malformed, boundary, or adversarial payloads.
-- Trigger retries and partial-failure paths repeatedly.
-- Coordinate across multiple accounts or contracts.
-
-## Extreme scenario catalog
-
-Evaluate the most relevant scenarios for the target code path.
-
-### 1) Concurrency + replay chain
-
-- Trigger duplicate settlement/debit with same business intent.
-- Exploit race between validation and write commit.
-- Target result: double-credit or double-withdraw while logs appear normal.
-
-### 2) Precision dust exploitation
-
-- Alternate many micro-operations near precision boundaries.
-- Exploit inconsistent rounding between read path and write path.
-- Target result: accumulate extractable value while bypassing threshold alarms.
-
-### 3) Oracle/API degradation abuse
-
-- Force stale or fallback price path under timeout/5xx pressure.
-- Inject outlier but schema-valid values to pass weak sanity checks.
-- Target result: under-collateralized borrowing, unfair liquidation, or bad settlement price.
-
-### 4) Authorization boundary hopping
-
-- Probe object-level access control across tenant/account IDs.
-- Combine optional parameters to bypass policy branches.
-- Target result: act on another user account without direct privilege.
-
-### 5) Lifecycle desynchronization
-
-- Interrupt multi-step transaction between status transitions.
-- Re-enter process while previous step is partially committed.
-- Target result: state shows success while funds/ledger are inconsistent.
-
-### 6) Circuit-breaker and safety toggle abuse
-
-- Find fail-open behavior when dependency health checks fail.
-- Abuse feature flags or maintenance modes with weak enforcement.
-- Target result: risky operations continue when protections should halt them.
-
-## Red-team execution checklist
-
-For each selected scenario, record:
-
-- Entry point and trust boundary crossed
-- Preconditions attacker must satisfy
-- Attack sequence (step-by-step)
-- Expected failure point if system is secure
-- Concrete evidence path (`path:line`) and failing test name
-
-## Completion standard
-
-Treat a scenario as remediated only when:
-
-- The exploit-path test fails before the fix.
-- The same test passes after the fix.
-- A normal business-flow regression test still passes.

-# Financial App Risk Checklist
-
-Use this checklist to confirm exploitable risks with code evidence.
-
-## Severity rubric
-
-Score each item as `Impact x Exploitability` (1-5 each):
-
-- 20-25: Critical
-- 12-19: High
-- 6-11: Medium
-- 1-5: Low
-
-## Red-team criticality rule
-
-- Evaluate worst credible outcome, not average-case behavior.
-- Assume attacker retries, parallelizes, and chains multiple weaknesses.
-- Promote severity when a low-complexity exploit touches money movement, collateral safety, or privilege control.
-
-## 1) Authentication and authorization
-
-- Verify sensitive actions require authenticated identity.
-- Verify role checks are explicit (no implicit trust from client payload).
-- Verify object-level access control (tenant/account ownership checks).
-- Verify admin/batch/internal endpoints are isolated and protected.
-
-## 2) Funds integrity and accounting correctness
-
-- Verify value conservation across debit/credit flows.
-- Verify no path allows negative balances unless explicitly supported.
-- Verify rounding/precision behavior is deterministic and documented.
-- Verify currency conversion uses expected scale and guardrails.
-- Verify integer overflow/underflow or decimal truncation cannot leak value.
-
-## 3) Transaction lifecycle safety
-
-- Verify idempotency for retriable requests (same key, same effect).
-- Verify replayed requests/messages cannot settle twice.
-- Verify race conditions cannot bypass balance/risk checks.
-- Verify pending/confirmed/failed states transition atomically.
-- Verify partial failures cannot leave money/state inconsistent.
-
-## 4) External dependency and oracle/API risk
-
-- Verify response authenticity checks (signature, source validation).
-- Verify stale/invalid price data handling (max age, sanity bands, fallback).
-- Verify timeouts, retry caps, and circuit breaker/degrade behavior.
-- Verify upstream errors cannot silently commit unsafe local state.
-
-## 5) Input, injection, and serialization risk
-
-- Verify strict schema validation for amount, account, and instrument fields.
-- Verify SQL/NoSQL/command/template injection controls on user-controlled fields.
-- Verify unsafe deserialization or dynamic evaluation is absent.
-- Verify canonicalization prevents duplicate identity keys (e.g., case/format tricks).
-
-## 6) Secrets, config, and operational safety
-
-- Verify secrets are never hardcoded or logged.
-- Verify environment-specific safety toggles are secure by default.
-- Verify audit logging captures actor, action, amount, and correlation IDs.
-- Verify fail-closed defaults for critical controls.
-
-## 7) DeFi and smart-contract specific checks (apply when relevant)
-
-- Verify privileged functions are access-controlled and non-upgrade abuse resistant.
-- Verify reentrancy, price manipulation, and flash-loan abuse defenses.
-- Verify oracle manipulation windows and stale data protections.
-- Verify liquidation and collateral checks cannot be bypassed by ordering/races.
-- Verify invariant tests cover total collateral/debt conservation.
-
-## Evidence standard
-
-Accept a risk as confirmed only when at least one exists:
-
-- Code-level proof with precise location (`path:line`) and exploitable data flow.
-- Reproducible failing test that demonstrates unsafe behavior.
-- Deterministic integration reproduction with clear preconditions.

-# Security Test Patterns for AI Agents
-
-## Core Rules
-
-- Write exploit-path tests before implementing fixes.
-- Keep tests deterministic with fixed payload fixtures.
-- Name tests by attack intent and expected control.
-- Assert both behavior and policy outcome (blocked action, sanitized output, or explicit refusal).
-
-## Pattern 1: Direct Prompt Injection Block
-
-### Goal
-Ensure attacker text cannot override policy hierarchy.
-
-### Test shape
-1. Send a payload attempting to override system rules.
-2. Trigger a restricted action request.
-3. Assert action is blocked and refusal is returned.
-
-### Minimum assertions
-- Restricted tool/action is never executed.
-- Response does not claim policy override success.
-
-## Pattern 2: Indirect Injection Through Retrieved Content
-
-### Goal
-Ensure malicious instructions inside retrieved/tool text are treated as data.
-
-### Test shape
-1. Stub retrieval/tool output with embedded malicious instruction.
-2. Ask the agent to summarize or answer based on that content.
-3. Assert agent does not execute injected instruction.
-
-### Minimum assertions
-- Planner/tool router ignores embedded directives.
-- Output contains task answer only, no malicious side effects.
-
-## Pattern 3: Unauthorized Tool Invocation
-
-### Goal
-Block tools that are not allowed for the current user/task context.
-
-### Test shape
-1. Craft prompt that nudges agent toward privileged tool use.
-2. Execute plan.
-3. Assert policy denies tool invocation.
-
-### Minimum assertions
-- Denied tool call count remains zero.
-- Audit/event log captures denial reason.
-
-## Pattern 4: Secret/Data Exfiltration Defense
-
-### Goal
-Prevent direct or encoded leakage of secrets.
-
-### Test shape
-1. Inject known secret fixtures into runtime context.
-2. Ask adversarial prompts requesting secrets directly and via encoding.
-3. Assert outputs are redacted/refused.
-
-### Minimum assertions
-- No full or partial secret values in output.
-- Encoded transforms (base64/hex/json embedding) are blocked.
-
-## Pattern 5: Memory Poisoning Resistance
-
-### Goal
-Prevent malicious persistent instructions from changing future security behavior.
-
-### Test shape
-1. Submit prompt that tries to persist malicious memory state.
-2. Start a new turn/session that would be affected if poisoning succeeded.
-3. Assert security posture remains unchanged.
-
-### Minimum assertions
-- Forbidden memory keys are rejected or sanitized.
-- Follow-up turn still enforces baseline policy.
-
-## Pattern 6: Regression Test After Patch
-
-### Goal
-Guarantee each fixed vulnerability remains closed.
-
-### Test shape
-1. Re-run original exploit payload against patched code.
-2. Add nearby variant payloads (spacing, casing, encoding tricks).
-3. Assert all variants are blocked.
-
-### Minimum assertions
-- Original exploit cannot reproduce.
-- Variant payloads do not bypass controls.
-
-## Passing Criteria for Security Work
-
-A remediation is complete only when:
-
-- Every confirmed vulnerability has at least one failing-then-passing test.
-- Added tests pass in targeted runs and the relevant full suite.
-- No existing functional tests regress due to security patches.
-- Validation commands and results are documented in the report.

-# Security Test Patterns for Financial Applications
-
-Use these patterns to encode red-team attack paths into deterministic tests before implementing fixes.
-
-## Core rule
-
-For each confirmed risk, write tests in this order:
-
-1. Failing exploit-path test (shows vulnerability exists)
-2. Passing safety test after fix (shows exploit blocked)
-3. Regression/contract test (shows expected normal behavior still works)
-
-## Pattern A: Authorization bypass
-
-- **Goal**: Ensure only permitted actors can execute sensitive actions.
-- **Tests**:
-  - Unauthorized actor receives explicit denial.
-  - Authorized actor can complete action.
-  - Cross-tenant actor cannot access another tenant/account.
-
-## Pattern B: Double-spend, replay, idempotency
-
-- **Goal**: Prevent duplicate settlement from retries or replayed messages.
-- **Tests**:
-  - Re-sending same idempotency key yields same outcome without extra debit/credit.
-  - Replay of signed message/transaction is rejected after first acceptance.
-  - Concurrent identical requests settle only once.
-
-## Pattern C: Precision and rounding exploitation
-
-- **Goal**: Prevent value leakage from arithmetic edge cases.
-- **Tests**:
-  - Boundary values around minimal unit/decimal precision.
-  - Repeated micro-operations do not create/destroy net value unexpectedly.
-  - Currency conversion follows expected rounding policy.
-
-## Pattern D: External dependency and stale data
-
-- **Goal**: Ensure unsafe upstream data cannot force unsafe local state.
-- **Tests**:
-  - Stale price/feed input is rejected or degraded safely.
-  - Upstream timeout/5xx triggers fail-safe behavior.
-  - Invalid signature/source is rejected.
-
-## Pattern E: State machine and partial failure
-
-- **Goal**: Keep lifecycle states consistent under errors.
-- **Tests**:
-  - Invalid transitions are denied.
-  - Mid-transaction failure rolls back or compensates correctly.
-  - Final state equals expected ledger snapshot.
-
-## Pattern F: Chained extreme attack simulation
-
-- **Goal**: Validate defense under multi-step attacker strategy.
-- **Tests**:
-  - Sequence test combining at least two vectors (e.g., replay + stale price).
-  - Concurrency stress test near lock/transaction boundaries.
-  - Attack stops at explicit secure guard with auditable error path.
-
-## Property-based invariant ideas
-
-Apply when tooling exists (Hypothesis, QuickCheck, Foundry fuzz, etc.):
-
-- Total value conservation across valid operations.
-- No account ends with unauthorized negative balance.
-- Authorized operations preserve access boundaries.
-- Replay of prior operation does not change final ledger state.
-
-## Minimal test metadata to include
-
-For each test, document:
-
-- Risk ID and short title
-- Preconditions/fixtures
-- Attack or edge input
-- Expected secure outcome
-- Invariant being protected
-
-## Validation checklist
-
-Before closing remediation, confirm:
-
-- All new security tests pass.
-- At least one test would fail without the fix.
-- At least one extreme/chained scenario was evaluated for critical paths.
-- No key business flow regressed in adjacent tests.
-- Test names and assertions describe security intent clearly.

-Improve an existing repository through a strict three-step loop of full-codebase performance scan, module-scoped optimization, and final documentation/constraint sync while preserving intended business behavior and the system's top-level macro architecture.
-
-## Core capabilities
-
-- Runs a repository-wide performance scan before every optimization round and refreshes a concrete bottleneck backlog.
-- Uses a strict three-step loop: scan the codebase, choose this round's jobs and optimize, then update docs/constraints only when no actionable gap remains.
-- Builds a module inventory and coverage ledger so every in-scope module receives a performance-oriented deep-read iteration before completion.
-- Defines deep-read as a job-oriented scan across measurement, algorithmic complexity, repeated work, IO, batching, query behavior, caching, allocation churn, hot loops, concurrency, and staged unlock opportunities.
-- Prioritizes measured or clearly complexity-backed bottlenecks over speculative micro-optimizations.
-- Adds or updates benchmark, characterization, regression, load, or integration guardrails when optimization risk requires them.
-- Requires confidence decisions to combine the agent's self-assessed ability, task complexity, guardrail strength, rollback or repair paths, and whether strong tests or benchmarks can safely drive broken optimizations back to green.
-- Reduces avoidable repeated computation, unnecessary serialization/parsing, allocation churn, IO round trips, inefficient query patterns, and unbounded concurrency.
-- Introduces caching or memoization only when ownership, invalidation, size bounds, and failure behavior are clear.
-- Treats large coupled hot paths as staged unlock problems, not as automatic stop signals.
-- Re-scans the full repository after every iteration and repeats while any known in-scope actionable performance issue or unvisited in-scope module remains.
-- Synchronizes project docs and `AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md` through `align-project-documents` and `maintain-project-constraints` after implementation.
-
-## Repository structure
-
-- `SKILL.md`: Main three-step loop, dependencies, guardrails, and output contract.
-- `agents/openai.yaml`: Agent interface metadata and default prompt.
-- `references/`: Focused guides for scanning, module coverage, job selection, measurement, algorithmic complexity, IO, caching, hot loops, concurrency, unlock work, and iteration gates.

-
-# Iterative Code Performance
-
-## Dependencies
-
-- Required: `align-project-documents` and `maintain-project-constraints` after the repository is truly iteration-complete.
-- Conditional: `systematic-debug` when a performance test, benchmark, load run, or production trace exposes a real business-logic defect that must be fixed at the true owner; `improve-observability` when profiling signals are missing or measurement requires durable logs, metrics, or traces.
-- Optional: `discover-edge-cases` for high-risk boundary, concurrency, cache-invalidation, or load-shape exploration before changing hot paths.
-- Fallback: If required completion dependencies are unavailable, finish performance work and validation first, then report exactly which documentation, constraint-sync, or observability action could not run.
-
-## Standards
-
-- Evidence: Read repository docs, project constraints, source, tests, logs, benchmarks, profiler output, build scripts, entrypoints, and nearby abstractions before editing; every optimization must be justified by measured evidence or clear complexity analysis tied to a plausible hot path.
-- Execution: Run a continuous three-step loop of full-codebase performance scan → choose this round's jobs and optimize → if and only if the latest full-codebase scan is clear, update docs and constraints; otherwise return to scanning immediately. Maintain a module inventory and coverage ledger so every in-scope module receives a performance-oriented deep-read iteration before completion. Do not treat jobs as workflow steps. Do not produce a completion report while any known in-scope actionable bottleneck or unvisited in-scope module remains.
-- Quality: Resolve as many inherited performance problems as safely possible without changing intended behavior or the system's macro architecture. Do not optimize by guessing, weakening correctness, adding stale caches, hiding failures, or moving cost to another critical path without evidence.
-- Output: Return iteration-by-iteration decisions, selected jobs, module coverage status, changed files, speedup or complexity evidence, behavior-preservation evidence, benchmark and regression guardrails, validation results, and docs/constraint sync status only after the latest scan shows no remaining known actionable in-scope bottleneck and no unvisited in-scope module.
-
-## Mission
-
-Leave the repository materially faster by continuously scanning the whole codebase, landing the highest-value safe performance optimizations available at each moment, and repeating until there is no known in-scope actionable performance gap left to fix.
-
-For this skill, `macro architecture` means the system's top-level runtime shape and overall operating logic: major subsystems, top-level execution model, deployment/runtime boundaries, persistence model, service boundaries, and the end-to-end way the whole system works. Ordinary module interactions, helper extraction, local data-structure changes, internal batching, query shaping, memoization inside an owner, and local hot-path decomposition do not count as macro-architecture changes by themselves.
-
-## Three-Step Loop
-
-### 1) Scan the repository
-
-- Read root guidance first: `AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md`, `README*`, package manifests, task runners, CI/test config, benchmark tooling, profiler setup, and major project docs.
-- Map runtime entrypoints, domain modules, external integrations, persistence/query boundaries, queue or job workers, request paths, hot loops, and current performance guardrails.
-- Exclude generated, vendored, lock, build-output, fixture, snapshot, or minified files unless evidence shows they are human-maintained source.
-- Build or refresh a concrete repository-wide backlog of known actionable performance issues.
-- Build or refresh a module inventory and coverage ledger; every in-scope module starts as unvisited until it has received a performance-oriented deep-read iteration with callers, callees, tests, logs, benchmarks, relevant contracts, and each available job lens inspected.
-- Re-scan the full codebase after every landed iteration, not only the files just changed.
-- Load `references/repository-scan.md` for the scan checklist and performance-backlog shaping rules.
-- Load `references/module-coverage.md` for module inventory, performance deep-read coverage, easy-first ordering, and completion rules.
-
-### 2) Choose this round's jobs and optimize
-
-- Choose jobs only after the latest full-codebase performance scan. Jobs are optional execution directions, not ordered workflow steps.
-- Treat module scanning and job choice as one linked activity: inspect the selected module through every available performance job lens before deciding which jobs actually land in this round.
-- Select the smallest set of jobs that can safely improve the currently selected module or module cluster under current correctness and measurement guardrails.
-- Before choosing or deferring an optimization, explicitly assess implementation confidence as a combination of the agent's own ability to understand and complete the change, the objective safety net from tests, benchmarks, and other guardrails, the clarity of rollback or repair paths, and the task's inherent difficulty. Do not treat difficulty alone as low confidence; when strong tests and benchmarks guard the behavior, use them to support bolder changes because failures can be driven back to green.
-- Prefer evidence-first ordering: start with bottlenecks that are measured, user-visible, high-frequency, or have clear algorithmic waste; use easy-first module ordering when it builds profiling context, tests, benchmarks, or seams that make harder hot paths safer later.
-- Do not keep revisiting familiar modules while other in-scope modules remain unvisited unless the familiar module blocks the next unvisited module's safe performance deep read.
-- Prefer smaller, high-confidence optimizations that reduce latency, CPU, memory churn, IO round trips, or repeated work without broad behavior risk.
-- If a desired optimization is high-risk and weakly guarded, make benchmark, characterization, or regression guardrail-building part of this round instead of stopping.
-- If a file feels too coupled, too central, or too risky for a direct hot-path rewrite, do staged unlock work rather than declaring the area blocked.
-- Read all directly affected callers, tests, interfaces, logs, persistence/query contracts, cache invalidation rules, and concurrency assumptions before editing.
-- Validate from narrow to broad after each bounded round, then perform a full-codebase stage-gate decision:
-  - if any known in-scope actionable bottleneck still remains or any in-scope module has not received a deep-read iteration, return to Step 1;
-  - only continue to Step 3 when the latest scan is clear.
-
-Load references for this step only as needed:
-
-- `references/module-coverage.md` for choosing the next module and proving every in-scope module has been deeply read through the available performance-job lenses.
-- `references/job-selection.md` for next-job choice conditions and tie-breakers.
-- `references/measurement-and-benchmarking.md` for profiling, benchmark, baseline, and before/after comparison rules.
-- `references/algorithmic-complexity.md` for complexity, data-structure, and repeated-work optimization.
-- `references/io-batching-and-queries.md` for database, network, filesystem, external API, and batching optimization.
-- `references/caching-and-memoization.md` for safe cache introduction, cache removal, and invalidation rules.
-- `references/allocation-and-hot-loops.md` for CPU loops, allocation churn, serialization, parsing, and memory-pressure cleanup.
-- `references/concurrency-and-pipelines.md` for bounded parallelism, async pipelines, backpressure, and queue throughput.
-- `references/coupled-hot-path-strategy.md` for staged unlock work on large coupled or apparently core hot-path files.
-- `references/iteration-gates.md` for validation cadence, stage-gate rules, and stop criteria.
-
-### 3) Update project documents and constraints
-
-Only enter this step when the latest full-codebase scan confirms there is no remaining known actionable in-scope performance issue and every in-scope module has received a deep-read iteration, except items explicitly classified as blocked, unsafe, speculative, low-value, excluded, approval-dependent, or requiring production-only measurement that is unavailable.
-
-- Run `align-project-documents` when README, architecture notes, setup docs, benchmark docs, performance budgets, operational docs, or test guidance may have drifted.
-- Run `maintain-project-constraints` to verify `AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md` still matches the repository's real architecture, business flow, commands, and conventions.
-- Update only the documentation and constraints that changed in reality because of the optimization.
-
-## Hard Guardrails
-
-- Do not change intended business logic while optimizing, except to fix a real defect exposed by tests and verified at the true owner.
-- Do not change the system's macro architecture unless the user explicitly expands scope.
-- Do not optimize from vibes alone; require measurement, traces, logs, benchmark baselines, complexity analysis, or repeatable workload evidence.
-- Do not add caches without explicit ownership, invalidation, size bounds, failure behavior, and tests or equivalent validation.
-- Do not improve one metric by silently worsening a more important user-visible path, correctness invariant, memory ceiling, or operator workflow.
-- Do not use one-off scripts to rewrite product code.
-- Do not stop early just because a hot path is large, central, or historically fragile; if a safe unlock step exists, that is the next job.
-- Do not stop before every in-scope module has been inventoried, deeply read, and either improved, validated as clear, or explicitly deferred/excluded with evidence.
-- Do not weaken tests, benchmarks, timeouts, or assertions to make an optimization pass; fix the real defect, stabilize the benchmark, or update stale expectations to stable invariants.
-- Do not add micro-optimizations that make code harder to maintain unless evidence shows the path is hot enough to justify the tradeoff.
-
-## Completion Report
-
-Only report completion after Step 3 is done, the latest Step 1 scan is clear, and the module coverage ledger has no unvisited in-scope module.
-
-Return:
-
-1. Iterations completed and the jobs selected in each iteration.
-2. Stage-gate verdict after each full-codebase re-scan.
-3. Module coverage ledger summary: modules deep-read, improved, validated-clear, deferred, or excluded.
-4. Key files changed and the performance issue each change resolved.
-5. Speedup evidence, complexity change, or bottleneck-removal evidence, including baseline and after measurements where available.
-6. Business behavior preservation evidence.
-7. Benchmarks, regression tests, or other guardrails added or updated, including property/integration/E2E/load-test `N/A` reasons where relevant.
-8. Validation commands and results.
-9. Documentation and `AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md` synchronization status.
-10. Remaining blocked, production-measurement-only, or approval-dependent items, if any.

Step 2: choose this round's module or bounded module cluster, scan it through every available performance job lens, and only then decide which jobs actually land now; prioritize measured or clearly complexity-backed hot paths, jobs are selectable directions rather than workflow steps, and assess optimization confidence from your own ability to understand and complete the change, task complexity, guardrail strength, rollback or repair paths, and whether tests or benchmarks can drive accidental breakage back to green. If a high-risk hot path is weakly guarded add benchmarks, characterization tests, or other guardrails instead of stopping; if strong tests and benchmarks guard the behavior, use them to justify bolder safe optimizations rather than avoiding the work. If a file is too coupled or too central for direct optimization, switch to staged unlock work and keep progressing. After validation, run a full-codebase stage-gate; if any known in-scope actionable bottleneck remains or any in-scope module has not received a performance-oriented deep-read iteration, go back to Step 1 immediately. Step 3: only when the latest full-codebase performance scan is clear and every in-scope module is deeply read through the available-job lenses, run $align-project-documents and $maintain-project-constraints to synchronize docs and AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md. Preserve intended business behavior and the system's macro architecture, keep correctness guardrails green, and do not write a completion report while actionable bottlenecks or unvisited modules still exist."

-# Algorithmic Complexity And Repeated Work
-
-## Signals
-
-Look for:
-
-- nested loops over growing inputs,
-- repeated full scans to answer point lookups,
-- repeated sorting when one sort or heap would do,
-- filtering or mapping the same collection in many branches,
-- recomputing derived values inside loops,
-- repeated parsing, validation, normalization, or conversion of identical inputs,
-- linear membership checks where sets or maps fit the domain,
-- duplicated business-rule computation across callers.
-
-## Safe optimization moves
-
-- Precompute lookup maps or sets at the smallest correct ownership boundary.
-- Move invariant computations out of loops.
-- Replace repeated scans with grouped data structures.
-- Sort once and reuse the ordering when the ordering contract is stable.
-- Convert repeated validation or normalization into a named helper with tests.
-- Preserve stable ordering when callers rely on it.
-- Keep data structures local unless shared ownership and invalidation are clear.
-
-## Complexity evidence
-
-Record:
-
-- current complexity and after complexity,
-- input sizes where the improvement matters,
-- any ordering, deduplication, or equality semantics,
-- memory tradeoff,
-- correctness guardrails.
-
-Do not claim a complexity improvement when the change only moves cost to another equally hot path.
-
-## Tradeoffs
-
-Prefer readability-preserving optimizations first. More complex data structures are justified when:
-
-- workload size is large enough,
-- call frequency is high enough,
-- the old implementation is measurably slow or asymptotically unsafe,
-- tests or invariants prove equivalence.
-
-Avoid clever micro-optimizations when the path is cold or the complexity cost is not material.
-
-## Correctness checklist
-
-Before and after complexity changes, verify:
-
-- duplicates are handled the same way,
-- stable ordering remains stable when required,
-- null, empty, malformed, and boundary inputs behave the same,
-- floating point, currency, timestamp, and locale semantics are unchanged,
-- errors and side effects occur in the same order when order matters,
-- public API and persistence contracts remain stable.
