-#### Common Node.js Memory Leak Patterns
-
-```javascript
-// leak-patterns.js
-
-// LEAK PATTERN 1: Event Listener Accumulation
-class LeakyEventEmitter {
-  constructor() {
-    this.emitter = new EventEmitter();
-  }
-
-  // ❌ BAD: Adds listener without cleanup
-  addLeakyListener() {
-    this.emitter.on('data', (data) => {
-      console.log(data);
-    });
-  }
-
-  // ✅ GOOD: Remove listener when done
-  addSafeListener() {
-    const handler = (data) => {
-      console.log(data);
-    };
-    this.emitter.on('data', handler);
-    return () => this.emitter.removeListener('data', handler);
-  }
-}
-
-// LEAK PATTERN 2: Global State Accumulation
-// ❌ BAD: Unbounded cache
-const cache = {};
-function leakyCache(key, value) {
-  cache[key] = value; // Never cleaned up
-}
-
-// ✅ GOOD: LRU cache with size limit
-const LRU = require('lru-cache');
-const safeCache = new LRU({
-  max: 500,
-  ttl: 1000 * 60 * 5 // 5 minutes
-});
-
-// LEAK PATTERN 3: Closure Retention
-// ❌ BAD: Closures hold large objects
-function leakyClosure() {
-  const largeData = Buffer.alloc(10 * 1024 * 1024); // 10MB
-
-  return function() {
-    // This closure keeps largeData in memory
-    return largeData.length;
-  };
-}
-
-// ✅ GOOD: Extract only needed data
-function safeClosure() {
-  const largeData = Buffer.alloc(10 * 1024 * 1024);
-  const dataLength = largeData.length;
-
-  return function() {
-    return dataLength; // Only keeps number, not buffer
-  };
-}
-
-// LEAK PATTERN 4: Detached DOM Nodes (Browser)
-// ❌ BAD: Keeping references to removed elements
-const detachedNodes = [];
-function leakyDOMManipulation() {
-  const element = document.getElementById('myElement');
-  detachedNodes.push(element);
-  element.remove(); // Element removed from DOM but still in memory
-}
-
-// ✅ GOOD: Clear references
-function safeDOMManipulation() {
-  const element = document.getElementById('myElement');
-  element.remove();
-  // Don't keep references to detached nodes
-}
-
-// LEAK PATTERN 5: Timers and Intervals
-// ❌ BAD: Intervals never cleared
-function leakyTimer() {
-  setInterval(() => {
-    console.log('This runs forever');
-  }, 1000);
-}
-
-// ✅ GOOD: Clear timers
-function safeTimer() {
-  const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
-    console.log('This can be stopped');
-  }, 1000);
-
-  return () => clearInterval(intervalId);
-}

+
+#### Common Node.js Memory Leak Patterns
+
+```javascript
+// leak-patterns.js
+
+// LEAK PATTERN 1: Event Listener Accumulation
+class LeakyEventEmitter {
+  constructor() {
+    this.emitter = new EventEmitter();
+  }
+
+  // ❌ BAD: Adds listener without cleanup
+  addLeakyListener() {
+    this.emitter.on('data', (data) => {
+      console.log(data);
+    });
+  }
+
+  // ✅ GOOD: Remove listener when done
+  addSafeListener() {
+    const handler = (data) => {
+      console.log(data);
+    };
+    this.emitter.on('data', handler);
+    return () => this.emitter.removeListener('data', handler);
+  }
+}
+
+// LEAK PATTERN 2: Global State Accumulation
+// ❌ BAD: Unbounded cache
+const cache = {};
+function leakyCache(key, value) {
+  cache[key] = value; // Never cleaned up
+}
+
+// ✅ GOOD: LRU cache with size limit
+const LRU = require('lru-cache');
+const safeCache = new LRU({
+  max: 500,
+  ttl: 1000 * 60 * 5 // 5 minutes
+});
+
+// LEAK PATTERN 3: Closure Retention
+// ❌ BAD: Closures hold large objects
+function leakyClosure() {
+  const largeData = Buffer.alloc(10 * 1024 * 1024); // 10MB
+
+  return function() {
+    // This closure keeps largeData in memory
+    return largeData.length;
+  };
+}
+
+// ✅ GOOD: Extract only needed data
+function safeClosure() {
+  const largeData = Buffer.alloc(10 * 1024 * 1024);
+  const dataLength = largeData.length;
+
+  return function() {
+    return dataLength; // Only keeps number, not buffer
+  };
+}
+
+// LEAK PATTERN 4: Detached DOM Nodes (Browser)
+// ❌ BAD: Keeping references to removed elements
+const detachedNodes = [];
+function leakyDOMManipulation() {
+  const element = document.getElementById('myElement');
+  detachedNodes.push(element);
+  element.remove(); // Element removed from DOM but still in memory
+}
+
+// ✅ GOOD: Clear references
+function safeDOMManipulation() {
+  const element = document.getElementById('myElement');
+  element.remove();
+  // Don't keep references to detached nodes
+}
+
+// LEAK PATTERN 5: Timers and Intervals
+// ❌ BAD: Intervals never cleared
+function leakyTimer() {
+  setInterval(() => {
+    console.log('This runs forever');
+  }, 1000);
+}
+
+// ✅ GOOD: Clear timers
+function safeTimer() {
+  const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
+    console.log('This can be stopped');
+  }, 1000);
+
+  return () => clearInterval(intervalId);
+}
+```

+#### Automated Memory Leak Test
+```javascript
+// memory-leak-test.js
+const assert = require('assert');
+const v8 = require('v8');
+
+class MemoryLeakTest {
+  constructor(testName, options = {}) {
+    this.testName = testName;
+    this.iterations = options.iterations || 100;
+    this.threshold = options.threshold || 1.5; // 50% growth allowed
+    this.samples = [];
+  }
+
+  async run(testFunction) {
+    console.log(`Running memory leak test: ${this.testName}`);
+
+    // Warm up
+    for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

+    }
+
+    // Force GC

+
+    // Baseline measurement

+  await test1.run(async () => {

+
+  // Test 2: Potential leak

+
+## Validation Protocol
+
+Before reporting high confidence:
+✅ Memory leak identified and root cause found
+✅ Heap dumps analyzed
+✅ Memory profiling completed
+✅ Fix implemented and validated
+✅ Memory tests passing
+✅ GC behavior optimized
+✅ Monitoring alerts configured
+✅ Documentation updated
+✅ Prevention patterns implemented
+✅ Team trained on memory best practices
+
+## Deliverables
+
+1. **Memory Analysis Report**: Heap dump analysis, leak identification
+2. **Profiling Results**: Memory usage patterns, optimization opportunities
+3. **Fix Implementation**: Code changes to eliminate leaks
+4. **Memory Tests**: Automated leak detection tests
+5. **Monitoring Setup**: Memory alerts and dashboards
+6. **Documentation**: Memory optimization guide, best practices
+7. **Training Materials**: Memory leak prevention patterns
+
+## Success Metrics
+- Memory leaks eliminated (0 detected in tests)
+- Memory growth <10% over 24h runtime
+- GC pause times within SLO
+- Heap utilization optimized (<80% of max)
+- Confidence score ≥ 0.90
