+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Action Items by Priority
+
+### 🔴 Sprint 1: Critical (5-8 hours)
+
+#### 1. Complete `dispose()` Cleanup Audit (2-4 hours)
+**Priority:** HIGH
+**Complexity:** Medium
+**Impact:** Prevents memory leaks in batch operations
+
+- [ ] Audit all methods in `DocXMLaterProcessor.ts` that create/load documents
+- [ ] Standardize on pattern: `let doc: Document | null = null` + `finally { doc?.dispose(); }`
+- [ ] Review `WordDocumentProcessor.ts` for similar issues
+- [ ] Test batch processing (100+ documents) for memory leaks
+
+**Files to Review:**
+- `src/services/document/DocXMLaterProcessor.ts` (lines 66-839)
+- `src/services/document/WordDocumentProcessor.ts`
+
+**Pattern to Use:**
+```typescript
+let doc: Document | null = null;
+try {
+  doc = await Document.load(filePath);
+  // ... processing ...
+} finally {
+  doc?.dispose();  // Always cleanup
+}
+```
+
+**Current Issues:**
+- Some methods use `if (doc) { try { doc.dispose() } catch {}}` (verbose)
+- Early returns may bypass cleanup
+- Inconsistent patterns across codebase
+
+**Test Case:**
+```typescript
+it('should not leak memory in batch processing', async () => {
+  const initialMemory = process.memoryUsage().heapUsed;
+
+  for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+    await processor.processDocument('test.docx');
+  }
+
+  const finalMemory = process.memoryUsage().heapUsed;
+  const memoryGrowth = (finalMemory - initialMemory) / 1024 / 1024;
+
+  expect(memoryGrowth).toBeLessThan(50); // Less than 50MB growth
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Implement Test Suite from Specifications (3-4 hours)
+**Priority:** HIGH
+**Complexity:** Medium
+**Impact:** Validates new helper functions and prevents regressions
+
+- [ ] Review test specifications: `src/services/document/__tests__/DocXMLaterProcessor.hyperlinks.test.md`
+- [ ] Implement tests for `extractHyperlinks()` optimization
+- [ ] Implement tests for `updateHyperlinkUrls()` batch operations
+- [ ] Add tests for hyperlinks in tables, headers, footers
+- [ ] Add performance benchmarks (20-30% faster extraction, 30-50% faster updates)
+- [ ] Test error handling scenarios
+
+**Test Coverage Needed:**
+- ✅ Basic hyperlink extraction
+- ✅ Batch URL updates with Map
+- ✅ Hyperlinks in tables
+- ✅ Hyperlinks in headers/footers
+- ✅ Error handling (failed URL updates)
+- ✅ XML corruption sanitization
+- ✅ Memory leak detection
+- ✅ Performance benchmarks
+
+**Files:**
+- `src/services/document/__tests__/DocXMLaterProcessor.hyperlinks.test.ts` (create)
+- `src/services/document/__tests__/DocXMLaterProcessor.test.ts` (enhance)
+
+---
+
+#### 3. Add JSDoc Documentation (1 hour)
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+**Complexity:** Low
+**Impact:** Improves code maintainability
+
+- [ ] Add JSDoc comments to new helper methods
+- [ ] Document parameters and return types
+- [ ] Add usage examples
+- [ ] Update documentation if needed
+
+**Methods Needing Documentation:**
+- `findText()` - DocXMLaterProcessor.ts:889-930
+- `replaceText()` - DocXMLaterProcessor.ts:932-969
+- `getWordCount()` - DocXMLaterProcessor.ts:979-993
+- `getCharacterCount()` - DocXMLaterProcessor.ts:1002-1019
+- `estimateSize()` - DocXMLaterProcessor.ts:1028-1049
+- `getSizeStats()` - DocXMLaterProcessor.ts:1057-1087
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Find all occurrences of text in the document
+ *
+ * @param doc - Document to search
+ * @param pattern - Text or regex pattern to find
+ * @param options - Search options (caseSensitive, wholeWord)
+ * @returns Array of matches with locations
+ *
+ * @example
+ * const results = await processor.findText(doc, 'error', {
+ *   caseSensitive: true,
+ *   wholeWord: false
+ * });
+ */
+```
+
+---
+
+### 🟡 Sprint 2: High Priority (3-5 hours)
+
+#### 4. Add Document Validation Before Saves (2-3 hours)
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+**Complexity:** Low
+**Impact:** Prevents corrupted document saves
+
+- [ ] Create `saveWithValidation()` wrapper method
+- [ ] Use `estimateSize()` to check document size before save
+- [ ] Log warnings for large documents (>10MB)
+- [ ] Add validation to critical save operations
+- [ ] Update documentation
+
+**Implementation:**
+```typescript
+async saveWithValidation(doc: Document, path: string): Promise<ProcessorResult<void>> {
+  try {
+    // Validate size before save
+    const sizeCheck = await this.estimateSize(doc);
+    if (sizeCheck.data?.warning) {
+      this.log.warn(`Document size warning: ${sizeCheck.data.warning}`);
+    }
+
+    if (sizeCheck.data?.totalEstimatedMB > 50) {
+      return {
+        success: false,
+        error: `Document too large (${sizeCheck.data.totalEstimatedMB}MB). Maximum is 50MB.`
+      };
+    }
+
+    await doc.save(path);
+    return { success: true };
+  } catch (error: any) {
+    return { success: false, error: error.message };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Files to Update:**
+- `src/services/document/DocXMLaterProcessor.ts` (add method)
+- `src/services/document/WordDocumentProcessor.ts` (use in critical operations)
+
+---
+
+#### 5. Performance Benchmarking (1-2 hours)
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+**Complexity:** Medium
+**Impact:** Validates claimed performance improvements
+
+- [ ] Create performance test suite
+- [ ] Benchmark `extractHyperlinks()` (old vs new)
+- [ ] Benchmark `updateHyperlinkUrls()` (old vs new)
+- [ ] Test with various document sizes (10, 50, 100+ pages)
+- [ ] Document results
+
+**Expected Results:**
+- Hyperlink extraction: 20-30% faster
+- Batch URL updates: 30-50% faster
+- Code reduction: 89% for extraction, 49% for updates
+
+**Test Structure:**
+```typescript
+describe('Performance Benchmarks', () => {
+  it('should extract hyperlinks faster than manual method', async () => {
+    const startTime = performance.now();
+    await processor.extractHyperlinks(doc);
+    const duration = performance.now() - startTime;
+
+    expect(duration).toBeLessThan(baselineDuration * 0.8); // 20% faster
+  });
+});
+```

+
+## 🐛 Issues Found & Status
+
+### 🔴 Critical Issues
+
+#### 1. Inconsistent `dispose()` Usage → Memory Leaks
+**Status:** ⚠️ PARTIALLY FIXED - Needs complete audit
+**Impact:** HIGH - Memory leaks in batch processing
+**Priority:** Sprint 1
+**Effort:** 2-4 hours
+
+**Problem:**

+- Early returns may bypass cleanup
+
+**Solution:**
+```typescript
+let doc: Document | null = null;
+try {
+  doc = await Document.load(filePath);
+  // ... processing ...
+} finally {
+  doc?.dispose();  // ✅ Always cleanup
+}
+```
+

+## 📞 Questions & Decisions Needed
+
+### For Product Owner
+1. **Priority question:** Should streaming support for 100+ page documents be prioritized?
+2. **Feature question:** Are any of the optional APIs (lists, headers/footers, comments) needed?
+3. **Timeline question:** Can we allocate 2 sprints for completion?
+
+### For Technical Lead
+1. **Architecture question:** Should we add a `DocumentValidator` class?
+2. **Performance question:** What are acceptable thresholds for document size?
+3. **Testing question:** Do we need integration tests with real .docx files?
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Getting Started
+
+### To Work on Sprint 1 Issues:
+
+1. **Review current implementation:**
+   ```bash
+   code src/services/document/DocXMLaterProcessor.ts
+   code src/services/document/WordDocumentProcessor.ts
+   ```
+
+2. **Review test specifications:**
+   ```bash
+   code src/services/document/__tests__/DocXMLaterProcessor.hyperlinks.test.md
+   ```
+
+3. **Run existing tests:**
+   ```bash
+   npm test
+   ```
+
+4. **Check memory usage:**
+   ```bash
+   node --expose-gc test-memory-usage.js
+   ```
+
+### Recommended Order:
+1. Start with `dispose()` audit (prevents issues)
+2. Implement tests (validates fixes)
