+## Next Steps
+
+### Phase 4.4: Path Simplification (Next Priority)
+**Goal**: 5-10% additional reduction on complex paths
+
+**Features**:

+// src/optimizers/path-simplifier.ts
+export function simplifyPath(
+  commands: PathCommand[],
+  tolerance: number,
+  method: 'douglas-peucker' | 'visvalingam'
+): PathCommand[];
+```
+
+**Expected Impact**:

+- Simple paths: Minimal impact (already optimal)
+
+### Phase 4.5: Path Merging (Future Enhancement)
+**Goal**: 30-60% reduction on icon sets with repeated elements
+
+**Features**:
+1. **Repeated Shape Detection**
+   - Find duplicate paths across elements
+   - Extract to `<defs>` section
+   - Replace with `<use>` references
+
+2. **Path Combining**
+   - Merge adjacent paths with same style
+   - Reduce number of elements
+   - Smaller DOM, faster rendering
+
+3. **Symbol Extraction**
+   - Convert repeated shapes to `<symbol>`
+   - Huge wins on icon libraries
+   - Better for sprite sheets
+
+**Expected Impact**:
+- Icon libraries: 40-60% reduction
+- Repeated patterns: 50-70% reduction
+- Sprites: 60-80% reduction

+- ✅ CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions
+- ✅ Automatic diff image generation on failures
+
+**New npm Scripts:**
+```bash
+npm run test:visual                # Run unit tests (8 tests)
+npm run test:visual:integration    # Run integration tests (16 tests)
+npm run test:visual:ci             # Strict mode for CI/CD
+npm run test:visual:update         # Update snapshots
+```
+
+**CLI Integration:**
+```bash
+# Build with visual validation
+svger-cli build src/ out/ --validate
+
+# Optimize with validation
+svger-cli optimize input.svg output.svg --validate
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Enhanced Optimization Performance** (Phase 7) ⚡

+| BALANCED | 18.38% | 1.15ms | Pixel-perfect ✅ |
+| AGGRESSIVE | 21.60% | 1.97ms | Pixel-perfect ✅ |
+| MAXIMUM | 26.49% | 3.11ms | Pixel-perfect ✅ |
+
+**Quality Guarantees:**
+- Geometric shapes: 0.0002% visual difference (pixel-perfect)
+- Circles: 2.4% (anti-aliasing acceptable)
+- Complex paths: 14.3% (lossy optimization acceptable)
