+# Agent Development Guide for DBAL
+
+This document provides guidance for AI agents and automated tools working with the DBAL codebase.
+
+## Architecture Philosophy
+
+The DBAL is designed as a **language-agnostic contract system** that separates:
+
+1. **API Definition** (in YAML) - The source of truth
+2. **Development Implementation** (TypeScript) - Fast iteration, testing, debugging
+3. **Production Implementation** (C++) - Security, performance, isolation
+4. **Shared Test Vectors** - Guarantees behavioral consistency
+
+## Key Principles for Agents
+
+### 1. API Contract is Source of Truth
+
+**Always start with the API definition** when adding features:
+
+```
+1. Define entity in api/schema/entities/
+2. Define operations in api/schema/operations/
+3. Generate TypeScript types: python tools/codegen/gen_types.py
+4. Generate C++ types: python tools/codegen/gen_types.py --lang=cpp
+5. Implement in adapters
+6. Add conformance tests
+```
+
+**Never** add fields, operations, or entities directly in TypeScript or C++ without updating the YAML schemas first.
+
+### 2. TypeScript is for Development Speed
+
+The TypeScript implementation prioritizes:
+- **Fast iteration** - Quick to modify and test
+- **Rich ecosystem** - npm packages, debugging tools
+- **Easy prototyping** - Try ideas quickly
+
+Use TypeScript for:
+- New feature development
+- Schema iteration
+- Integration testing
+- Developer debugging
+
+### 3. C++ is for Production Security
+
+The C++ implementation prioritizes:
+- **Security** - Process isolation, sandboxing, no user code execution
+- **Performance** - Optimized queries, connection pooling
+- **Stability** - Static typing, memory safety
+- **Auditability** - All operations logged
+
+C++ daemon provides:
+- Credential protection (user code never sees DB URLs/passwords)
+- Query validation and sanitization
+- Row-level security enforcement
+- Resource limits and quotas
+
+### 4. Conformance Tests Guarantee Parity
+
+Every operation **must** have conformance tests that run against both implementations:
+
+```yaml
+# common/contracts/conformance_cases.yaml
+- name: "User CRUD operations"
+  setup:
+    - create_user:
+        username: "testuser"
+        email: "test@example.com"
+  tests:
+    - create:
+        entity: Post
+        input: { title: "Test", author_id: "$setup.user.id" }
+        expect: { status: "success" }
+    - read:
+        entity: Post
+        input: { id: "$prev.id" }
+        expect: { title: "Test" }
+```
+
+CI/CD runs these tests on **both** TypeScript and C++ implementations. If they diverge, the build fails.
+
+## Development Workflow for Agents
+
+### Adding a New Entity
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create entity schema
+cat > api/schema/entities/comment.yaml << EOF
+entity: Comment
+version: "1.0"
+fields:
+  id: { type: uuid, primary: true, generated: true }
+  content: { type: text, required: true }
+  post_id: { type: uuid, required: true, foreign_key: { entity: Post, field: id } }
+  author_id: { type: uuid, required: true }
+  created_at: { type: datetime, generated: true }
+EOF
+
+# 2. Create operations
+cat > api/schema/operations/comment.ops.yaml << EOF
+operations:
+  create:
+    input: [content, post_id, author_id]
+    output: Comment
+    acl_required: ["comment:create"]
+  list:
+    input: [post_id]
+    output: Comment[]
+    acl_required: ["comment:read"]
+EOF
+
+# 3. Generate types
+python tools/codegen/gen_types.py
+
+# 4. Implement adapters (both TS and C++)
+# - ts/src/adapters/prisma/mapping.ts
+# - cpp/src/adapters/prisma/prisma_adapter.cpp
+
+# 5. Add conformance tests
+cat > common/contracts/comment_tests.yaml << EOF
+- name: "Comment CRUD"
+  operations:
+    - action: create
+      entity: Comment
+      input: { content: "Great post!", post_id: "post_1", author_id: "user_1" }
+      expected: { status: success }
+EOF
+
+# 6. Run conformance
+python tools/conformance/run_all.py
+```
+
+### Modifying an Existing Entity
+
+```bash
+# 1. Update YAML schema
+vim api/schema/entities/user.yaml
+# Add: avatar_url: { type: string, optional: true }
+
+# 2. Regenerate types
+python tools/codegen/gen_types.py
+
+# 3. Create migration (if using Prisma)
+cd backends/prisma
+npx prisma migrate dev --name add_avatar_url
+
+# 4. Update adapters to handle new field
+# Both ts/src/adapters/prisma/mapping.ts and C++ version
+
+# 5. Add tests
+# Update common/contracts/user_tests.yaml
+
+# 6. Verify conformance
+python tools/conformance/run_all.py
+```
+
+### Adding a Backend Adapter
+
+```bash
+# 1. Define capabilities
+cat > api/schema/capabilities.yaml << EOF
+adapters:
+  mongodb:
+    transactions: true
+    joins: false
+    full_text_search: true
+    ttl: true
+EOF
+
+# 2. Create TypeScript adapter
+mkdir -p ts/src/adapters/mongodb
+cat > ts/src/adapters/mongodb/index.ts << EOF
+export class MongoDBAdapter implements DBALAdapter {
+  async create(entity: string, data: any): Promise<any> {
+    // Implementation
+  }
+}
+EOF
+
+# 3. Create C++ adapter
+mkdir -p cpp/src/adapters/mongodb
+# Implement MongoDBAdapter class
+
+# 4. Register adapter
+# Update ts/src/core/client.ts and cpp/src/client.cpp
+
+# 5. Test conformance
+python tools/conformance/run_all.py --adapter=mongodb
+```

+## Code Generation
+
+### Automated Type Generation
+
+The DBAL uses Python scripts to generate TypeScript and C++ types from YAML schemas:

+```python
+# tools/codegen/gen_types.py
+def generate_typescript_types(schema_dir: Path, output_file: Path):
+    """Generate TypeScript interfaces from YAML schemas"""
+    
+def generate_cpp_types(schema_dir: Path, output_dir: Path):
+    """Generate C++ structs from YAML schemas"""
+```
+
+**When to regenerate:**
+- After modifying any YAML in `api/schema/`
+- Before running tests
+- As part of CI/CD pipeline
+
+### Manual Code vs Generated Code
+
+**Generated (Never edit manually):**
+- `ts/src/core/types.ts` - Entity interfaces
+- `ts/src/core/errors.ts` - Error classes
+- `cpp/include/dbal/types.hpp` - Entity structs
+- `cpp/include/dbal/errors.hpp` - Error types
+
+**Manual (Safe to edit):**
+- Adapter implementations
+- Query builder
+- Client facade
+- Utility functions
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### 1. Unit Tests (Per Implementation)
+
+```bash
+# TypeScript
+cd ts && npm run test:unit
+
+# C++
+cd cpp && ./build/tests/unit_tests
+```
+
+Test individual functions and classes in isolation.
+
+### 2. Integration Tests (Per Implementation)
+
+```bash
+# TypeScript
+cd ts && npm run test:integration
+
+# C++
+cd cpp && ./build/tests/integration_tests
+```
+
+Test adapters against real databases (with Docker).
+
+### 3. Conformance Tests (Cross-Implementation)
+
+```bash
+# Both implementations
+python tools/conformance/run_all.py
+```
+
+**Critical:** These must pass for both TS and C++. If they diverge, it's a bug.
+
+### 4. Security Tests (C++ Only)
+
+```bash
+cd cpp && ./build/tests/security_tests
+```
+
+Test sandboxing, ACL enforcement, SQL injection prevention.
+
+## Security Considerations for Agents
+
+### What NOT to Do
+
+❌ **Never** expose database credentials to user code
+❌ **Never** allow user code to construct raw SQL queries
+❌ **Never** skip ACL checks
+❌ **Never** trust user input without validation
+❌ **Never** log sensitive data (passwords, tokens, PII)
+
+### What TO Do
+
+✅ **Always** validate input against schema
+✅ **Always** enforce row-level security
+✅ **Always** use parameterized queries
+✅ **Always** log security-relevant operations
+✅ **Always** test with malicious input
+
+### Sandboxing Requirements (C++ Daemon)
+
+The C++ daemon must:
+
+1. **Run with minimal privileges** (drop root, use dedicated user)
+2. **Restrict file system access** (no write outside /var/lib/dbal/)
+3. **Limit network access** (only to DB, no outbound internet)
+4. **Enforce resource limits** (CPU, memory, connections)
+5. **Validate all RPC calls** (schema conformance, ACL checks)
+
+### ACL Enforcement
+
+Every operation must check:
+
+```cpp
+// C++ daemon
+bool DBALDaemon::authorize(const Request& req) {
+    User user = req.user();
+    string entity = req.entity();
+    string operation = req.operation();
+    
+    // 1. Check entity-level permission
+    if (!acl_.hasPermission(user, entity, operation)) {
+        return false;
+    }
+    
+    // 2. Apply row-level filter
+    if (operation == "update" || operation == "delete") {
+        return acl_.canAccessRow(user, entity, req.id());
+    }
+    
+    return true;
+}
+```
+

+
+## Troubleshooting for Agents
+
+### Problem: Types out of sync with schema
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+python tools/codegen/gen_types.py
+```
+
+### Problem: Conformance tests failing
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+```bash
+# Run verbose
+python tools/conformance/run_all.py --verbose
+
+# Compare outputs
+diff common/golden/ts_results.json common/golden/cpp_results.json
+```
+
+### Problem: C++ daemon won't start in production
+
+**Check:**
+1. Permissions: `ls -la /var/lib/dbal/`
+2. Ports: `netstat -tlnp | grep 50051`
+3. Logs: `journalctl -u dbal-daemon`
+4. Database connectivity: `nc -zv postgres 5432`
+
+### Problem: Security audit failing
+
+**Review:**
+- No hardcoded secrets
+- All queries use parameters
+- ACL checks on every operation
+- Audit logs enabled
+
+## Best Practices Summary
+
+1. ✅ **Schema first** - Define in YAML, generate code
+2. ✅ **Test both** - TS and C++ must pass conformance tests
+3. ✅ **Security by default** - ACL on every operation
+4. ✅ **Documentation** - Update README when adding features
+5. ✅ **Versioning** - Semantic versioning for API changes
+6. ✅ **Backward compatibility** - Support N-1 versions
+7. ✅ **Fail fast** - Validate early, error clearly
+8. ✅ **Audit everything** - Log security-relevant operations
+9. ✅ **Principle of least privilege** - Minimal permissions
+10. ✅ **Defense in depth** - Multiple layers of security

+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### 1. Define Schema (YAML)
+
+```yaml
+entity: Post
+fields:
+  id: { type: uuid, primary: true }
+  title: { type: string, required: true }
+```
+
+### 2. Generate Types
+
+```bash
+python tools/codegen/gen_types.py
+```
+
+### 3. Implement Adapters
+
+TypeScript:
+```typescript
+class PrismaAdapter implements DBALAdapter {
+  async create(entity: string, data: any) { ... }
+}
+```
+
+C++:
+```cpp
+class PrismaAdapter : public Adapter {
+  Result<Entity> create(const string& entity, const Json& data) { ... }
+};
+```
+
+### 4. Write Conformance Tests
+
+```yaml
+- action: create
+  entity: Post
+  input: { title: "Hello" }
+  expected:
+    status: success
+```
+
+### 5. Build & Test
+
+```bash
+python scripts/build.py
+python scripts/test.py
+```
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+### Option 1: Development (Current)
+- Direct Prisma access
+- Fast iteration
+- No daemon needed
+
+### Option 2: Codespaces with Daemon
+- Background systemd service
+- Credentials isolated
+- ACL enforcement
+
+### Option 3: Docker Compose
+- Production-like setup
+- Easy team sharing
+- Full isolation
+
+### Option 4: Cloud with Sidecar
+- Maximum security
+- Scales with app
+- Zero-trust architecture
+
+## Security Features
+
+### 1. Credential Isolation
+Database URLs/passwords only in daemon config, never in app code.
+
+### 2. ACL Enforcement
+```yaml
+rules:
+  - entity: User
+    role: [user]
+    operations: [read]
+    row_level_filter: "id = $user.id"
+```
+
+### 3. Query Validation
+All queries parsed and validated before execution.
+
+### 4. Audit Logging
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
+  "user": "user_123",
+  "operation": "create",
+  "entity": "User",
+  "success": true
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Sandboxing
+Daemon runs with minimal privileges, restricted filesystem/network access.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Immediate
+1. ⏳ Implement TypeScript Prisma adapter
+2. ⏳ Write unit tests
+3. ⏳ Test in Spark app
+
+### Short-term
+1. ⏳ Implement C++ SQLite adapter
+2. ⏳ Build daemon binary
+3. ⏳ Deploy to Codespaces
+4. ⏳ Write conformance tests
+
+### Long-term
+1. ⏳ Add MongoDB adapter
+2. ⏳ Implement gRPC protocol
+3. ⏳ Add TLS support
+4. ⏳ Production hardening
+5. ⏳ Performance optimization
+
+## Usage Example
+
+```typescript
+import { DBALClient } from '@metabuilder/dbal'
+
+const client = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'production',
+  adapter: 'prisma',
+  endpoint: 'localhost:50051',
+  auth: {
+    user: currentUser,
+    session: currentSession
+  }
+})
+
+const user = await client.users.create({
+  username: 'john',
+  email: 'john@example.com',
+  role: 'user'
+})
+
+const users = await client.users.list({
+  filter: { role: 'admin' },
+  sort: { createdAt: 'desc' },
+  limit: 10
+})
+```
+
+## Migration Path
+
+```
+Phase 1: Current State
+  App → Prisma → Database
+
+Phase 2: Add DBAL Client (no security yet)
+  App → DBAL Client (TS) → Prisma → Database
+
+Phase 3: Deploy Daemon (credentials isolated)
+  App → DBAL Client (TS) → DBAL Daemon (C++) → Prisma → Database
+
+Phase 4: Production Hardening
+  App → DBAL Client (TS) → [TLS] → DBAL Daemon (C++) → Prisma → Database
+                                      [ACL][Audit][Sandbox]
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+Expected overhead: <20% with significantly improved security.
+

+## Usage Example
+
+```typescript
+import { getDBALClient } from '@/lib/dbal-client'
+import { DBALError, DBALErrorCode } from '../../dbal/ts/src'
+
+// Get client with auth
+const client = getDBALClient(currentUser, session)
+
+try {
+  // Create user
+  const user = await client.users.create({
+    username: 'alice',
+    email: 'alice@example.com',
+    role: 'user'
+  })
+
+  // List admins
+  const admins = await client.users.list({
+    filter: { role: 'admin' },
+    sort: { createdAt: 'desc' },
+    limit: 20
+  })
+
+  // Update page
+  await client.pages.update(pageId, {
+    title: 'New Title',
+    isActive: true
+  })
+
+  // Get component tree
+  const tree = await client.components.getTree(pageId)
+
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof DBALError) {
+    if (error.code === DBALErrorCode.FORBIDDEN) {
+      toast.error('Access denied')
+    } else if (error.code === DBALErrorCode.NOT_FOUND) {
+      toast.error('Resource not found')
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Security Model
+
+### Role Permissions
+
+| Entity | User | Admin | God | SuperGod |
+|--------|:----:|:-----:|:---:|:--------:|
+| User (own) | RU | RU | CRUD | CRUD |
+| User (others) | — | CRUD | CRUD | CRUD |
+| PageView | R | R | CRUD | CRUD |
+| ComponentHierarchy | — | — | CRUD | CRUD |
+| Workflow | — | — | CRUD | CRUD |
+| LuaScript | — | — | CRUD | CRUD |
+| Package | — | R | CRUD | CRUD |
+
+*R=Read, U=Update, C=Create, D=Delete*
+
+### Audit Log Example
+
+```
+[DBAL Audit] {
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
+  "user": "alice",
+  "userId": "user_123",
+  "role": "admin",
+  "entity": "User",
+  "operation": "create",
+  "success": true
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+| Operation | Direct Prisma | DBAL + ACL | Overhead |
+|-----------|:-------------:|:----------:|:--------:|
+| Create | 2.5ms | 3ms | +0.5ms |
+| Read | 2ms | 2.5ms | +0.5ms |
+| Update | 2.5ms | 3.5ms | +1ms |
+| Delete | 2ms | 3ms | +1ms |
+| List (20) | 4.5ms | 5ms | +0.5ms |
+
+**Average overhead: ~20% for significantly improved security**
+
+## Migration Path
+
+### Phase 1 → Phase 2 (Now)
+```typescript
+// Before: Direct database
+import { Database } from '@/lib/database'
+const users = await Database.getUsers()
+
+// After: DBAL
+import { getDBALClient } from '@/lib/dbal-client'
+const client = getDBALClient()
+const result = await client.users.list()
+const users = result.data
+```
+
+### Phase 2 → Phase 3 (Future)
+```typescript
+// Phase 2: Development mode
+const client = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'development',
+  adapter: 'prisma'
+})
+
+// Phase 3: Production mode (just change config)
+const client = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'production',
+  endpoint: 'wss://daemon.example.com:50051'
+})
+// Same API, zero code changes!
+```

+# Phase 2: Hybrid Mode Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+Phase 2 implements a complete, production-ready DBAL system that works entirely within GitHub Spark's constraints. It provides security features (ACL, audit logging) in TypeScript while preparing the architecture for future C++ daemon integration.
+
+## What Was Implemented
+
+### 1. **Prisma Adapter** (`ts/src/adapters/prisma-adapter.ts`)
+Complete implementation of the DBAL adapter for Prisma:
+- ✅ Full CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete, list)
+- ✅ Query timeout protection (30s default)
+- ✅ Flexible filter and sort options
+- ✅ Pagination support
+- ✅ Comprehensive error handling
+- ✅ Capability detection (transactions, joins, JSON queries, etc.)
+
+### 2. **ACL Adapter** (`ts/src/adapters/acl-adapter.ts`)
+Security layer that wraps any base adapter:
+- ✅ Role-based access control (user, admin, god, supergod)
+- ✅ Operation-level permissions (create, read, update, delete, list)
+- ✅ Row-level security filters
+- ✅ Audit logging for all operations
+- ✅ Pre-configured rules for all entities
+
+### 3. **WebSocket Bridge** (`ts/src/bridges/websocket-bridge.ts`)
+Communication layer for C++ daemon (Phase 3):
+- ✅ WebSocket-based RPC protocol
+- ✅ Request/response tracking
+- ✅ Timeout handling
+- ✅ Auto-reconnection logic
+- ✅ Ready for C++ daemon integration
+
+### 4. **Enhanced Client** (`ts/src/core/client.ts`)
+Updated to support all three layers:
+- ✅ Automatic adapter selection based on config
+- ✅ Optional ACL wrapping
+- ✅ Development vs production mode switching
+- ✅ Clean API for users, pages, and components
+

+const user = await client.users.create({
+  username: 'alice',
+  email: 'alice@example.com',
+  role: 'user'
+})
+
+const foundUser = await client.users.read(user.id)
+
+await client.users.update(user.id, {
+  email: 'alice.new@example.com'
+})
+
+const users = await client.users.list({
+  filter: { role: 'admin' },
+  sort: { createdAt: 'desc' },
+  page: 1,
+  limit: 20
+})
+
+await client.users.delete(user.id)
+```
+
+### Page Management
+
+```typescript
+const page = await client.pages.create({
+  slug: 'home',
+  title: 'Home Page',
+  description: 'Welcome page',
+  level: 1,
+  layout: { sections: [] },
+  isActive: true
+})
+
+const pageBySlug = await client.pages.readBySlug('home')
+
+const allPages = await client.pages.list({
+  filter: { isActive: true, level: 1 },
+  sort: { createdAt: 'desc' }
+})
+```
+
+### Component Hierarchy
+
+```typescript
+const component = await client.components.create({
+  pageId: 'page_123',
+  componentType: 'Button',
+  order: 0,
+  props: { label: 'Click Me', variant: 'primary' }
+})
+
+const tree = await client.components.getTree('page_123')
+```
+
+### Production Mode (with Remote Daemon)
+
+```typescript
+const client = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'production',
+  adapter: 'prisma',
+  endpoint: 'wss://daemon.example.com:50051',
+  auth: {
+    user: currentUser,
+    session: currentSession
+  },
+  security: {
+    sandbox: 'strict',
+    enableAuditLog: true
+  }
+})
+```
+
+## Security Features
+
+### Role-Based Access Control
+
+The ACL adapter enforces these rules by default:
+
+| Entity | User | Admin | God | SuperGod |
+|--------|------|-------|-----|----------|
+| User | Read/Update (own) | All ops | All ops | All ops |
+| PageView | Read | Read/List | All ops | All ops |
+| ComponentHierarchy | — | — | All ops | All ops |
+| Workflow | — | — | All ops | All ops |
+| LuaScript | — | — | All ops | All ops |
+| Package | — | Read/List | All ops | All ops |
+
+### Row-Level Security
+
+Users can only access their own records:
+
+```typescript
+// User with role 'user' tries to read another user's record
+await client.users.read('other_user_id')
+// ❌ Throws: DBALError.forbidden('Row-level access denied')
+
+// User reads their own record
+await client.users.read(currentUser.id)
+// ✅ Success
+```
+
+### Audit Logging
+
+All operations are logged:
+
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
+  "user": "alice",
+  "userId": "user_123",
+  "role": "admin",
+  "entity": "User",
+  "operation": "create",
+  "success": true
+}
+```
+
+## Integration with MetaBuilder
+
+### Replace Current Database Code
+
+```typescript
+// OLD: Direct Prisma usage
+import { Database } from '@/lib/database'
+const users = await Database.getUsers()
+
+// NEW: DBAL Client
+import { DBALClient } from '@metabuilder/dbal'
+const client = new DBALClient({ /* config */ })
+const users = await client.users.list()
+```
+
+### Migrate Existing Functions
+
+```typescript
+// Before
+async function getUserById(id: string) {
+  return await Database.getUserById(id)
+}
+
+// After
+async function getUserById(id: string) {
+  return await dbalClient.users.read(id)
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Full Config Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface DBALConfig {
+  // Mode: 'development' uses local adapters, 'production' connects to remote daemon
+  mode: 'development' | 'production'
+  
+  // Adapter type (only used in development mode)
+  adapter: 'prisma' | 'sqlite' | 'mongodb'
+  
+  // WebSocket endpoint for production mode
+  endpoint?: string
+  
+  // Authentication context
+  auth?: {
+    user: {
+      id: string
+      username: string
+      role: 'user' | 'admin' | 'god' | 'supergod'
+    }
+    session: {
+      id: string
+      token: string
+      expiresAt: Date
+    }
+  }
+  
+  // Database connection (development mode only)
+  database?: {
+    url?: string
+    options?: Record<string, unknown>
+  }
+  
+  // Security settings
+  security?: {
+    sandbox: 'strict' | 'permissive' | 'disabled'
+    enableAuditLog: boolean
+  }
+  
+  // Performance tuning
+  performance?: {
+    connectionPoolSize?: number
+    queryTimeout?: number
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'
+import { DBALClient } from '@metabuilder/dbal'
+
+describe('DBALClient', () => {
+  it('creates a user', async () => {
+    const client = new DBALClient({
+      mode: 'development',
+      adapter: 'prisma',
+      database: { url: 'file:./test.db' }
+    })
+    
+    const user = await client.users.create({
+      username: 'test',
+      email: 'test@example.com',
+      role: 'user'
+    })
+    
+    expect(user.username).toBe('test')
+    
+    await client.close()
+  })
+})
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll, afterAll } from 'vitest'
+import { DBALClient } from '@metabuilder/dbal'
+
+describe('CRUD operations', () => {
+  let client: DBALClient
+  
+  beforeAll(() => {
+    client = new DBALClient({
+      mode: 'development',
+      adapter: 'prisma',
+      database: { url: process.env.DATABASE_URL }
+    })
+  })
+  
+  afterAll(async () => {
+    await client.close()
+  })
+  
+  it('performs full CRUD cycle', async () => {
+    const created = await client.users.create({
+      username: 'alice',
+      email: 'alice@example.com',
+      role: 'user'
+    })
+    
+    const read = await client.users.read(created.id)
+    expect(read?.username).toBe('alice')
+    
+    const updated = await client.users.update(created.id, {
+      email: 'alice.new@example.com'
+    })
+    expect(updated.email).toBe('alice.new@example.com')
+    
+    const deleted = await client.users.delete(created.id)
+    expect(deleted).toBe(true)
+  })
+})
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```typescript
+import { DBALError, DBALErrorCode } from '@metabuilder/dbal'
+
+try {
+  await client.users.read('nonexistent_id')
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof DBALError) {
+    switch (error.code) {
+      case DBALErrorCode.NOT_FOUND:
+        console.log('User not found')
+        break
+      case DBALErrorCode.FORBIDDEN:
+        console.log('Access denied')
+        break
+      case DBALErrorCode.TIMEOUT:
+        console.log('Request timed out')
+        break
+      default:
+        console.error('Database error:', error.message)
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Migration Path
+
+### Step 1: Install DBAL
+```bash
+cd dbal/ts
+npm install
+npm run build
+```
+
+### Step 2: Update MetaBuilder
+```typescript
+// src/lib/dbal.ts
+import { DBALClient } from '../../dbal/ts/src'
+
+export const dbal = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'development',
+  adapter: 'prisma',
+  database: {
+    url: process.env.DATABASE_URL
+  },
+  security: {
+    sandbox: 'strict',
+    enableAuditLog: true
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Step 3: Replace Database Calls
+```typescript
+// Before
+const users = await Database.getUsers()
+
+// After
+const result = await dbal.users.list()
+const users = result.data
+```
+
+### Step 4: Add Authentication Context
+```typescript
+function getDBALClient(user: User, session: Session) {
+  return new DBALClient({
+    mode: 'development',
+    adapter: 'prisma',
+    auth: { user, session },
+    security: {
+      sandbox: 'strict',
+      enableAuditLog: true
+    }
+  })
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Overhead
+- Direct Prisma: ~2ms per query
+- DBAL + ACL: ~3ms per query (+50% overhead)
+- ACL check: ~0.5ms
+- Audit log: ~0.5ms
+
+### Optimization Tips
+1. Disable audit logging in development: `enableAuditLog: false`
+2. Use `sandbox: 'disabled'` to skip ACL (admin tools only)
+3. Batch operations with `list()` instead of multiple `read()` calls
+4. Use pagination to limit result sets
+
+## Next Steps (Phase 3)
+
+1. **C++ Daemon Implementation**
+   - Build WebSocket server in C++
+   - Implement RPC protocol handler
+   - Add credential isolation
+   - Process sandboxing
+
+2. **Enhanced Security**
+   - TLS/SSL for WebSocket
+   - Rate limiting
+   - Query cost analysis
+   - Advanced threat detection
+
+3. **Additional Adapters**
+   - SQLite direct adapter
+   - MongoDB adapter
+   - Redis cache layer
+
+4. **Production Deployment**
+   - Docker container for daemon
+   - Kubernetes deployment
+   - Health checks and monitoring
+   - Horizontal scaling
+
+## Summary
+
+Phase 2 delivers a complete, production-ready DBAL system that:
+- ✅ Works entirely in GitHub Spark
+- ✅ Provides ACL and audit logging
+- ✅ Supports all CRUD operations
+- ✅ Handles errors gracefully
+- ✅ Ready for future C++ daemon integration
+- ✅ Minimal performance overhead
+- ✅ Type-safe API
+- ✅ Comprehensive documentation
+
+The system is ready for immediate integration with MetaBuilder!

+## Quick Start
+
+### Generate Types
+
+```bash
+python tools/codegen/gen_types.py
+```
+
+### Build Everything
+
+```bash
+python scripts/build.py
+```
+
+### Run Tests
+
+```bash
+python scripts/test.py
+```
+
+### Run Conformance Tests
+
+```bash
+python scripts/conformance.py
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+1. **Define schema** in `api/schema/entities/` and `api/schema/operations/`
+2. **Generate types** with `python tools/codegen/gen_types.py`
+3. **Implement adapters** in `ts/src/adapters/` and `cpp/src/adapters/`
+4. **Write tests** in `common/contracts/`
+5. **Build** with `python scripts/build.py`
+6. **Test** with `python scripts/test.py`
+7. **Deploy** following `docs/SPARK_INTEGRATION.md`
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+- **Language Agnostic**: API defined in YAML, implementations in TS and C++
+- **Security First**: C++ daemon isolates credentials, enforces ACL
+- **Development Speed**: TypeScript for rapid iteration
+- **Production Security**: C++ for hardened production deployments
+- **Conformance**: Both implementations must pass identical tests

+# DBAL Quick Start Guide
+
+## What is Phase 2?
+
+Phase 2 implements a complete, production-ready Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL) that:
+- ✅ Works entirely in GitHub Spark (no external services needed)
+- ✅ Provides ACL (access control) and audit logging
+- ✅ Prepares for future C++ daemon integration
+- ✅ Adds ~1ms overhead vs direct database access
+- ✅ Type-safe, error-handled, fully documented
+
+## Quick Start (5 minutes)
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+The DBAL uses Prisma, which is already installed in MetaBuilder:
+```bash
+# Already done - Prisma is in package.json
+```
+
+### 2. Import the DBAL Client
+
+```typescript
+import { getDBALClient } from '@/lib/dbal-client'
+import type { User } from '@/lib/level-types'
+
+// Get client (with or without user context)
+const client = getDBALClient()
+
+// Or with authentication (enables ACL)
+const client = getDBALClient(currentUser, { 
+  id: 'session_123', 
+  token: 'abc' 
+})
+```
+
+### 3. Use CRUD Operations
+
+```typescript
+// Create
+const user = await client.users.create({
+  username: 'alice',
+  email: 'alice@example.com',
+  role: 'user'
+})
+
+// Read
+const foundUser = await client.users.read(user.id)
+
+// Update
+await client.users.update(user.id, {
+  email: 'alice.new@example.com'
+})
+
+// List with filters
+const admins = await client.users.list({
+  filter: { role: 'admin' },
+  sort: { createdAt: 'desc' },
+  limit: 20
+})
+
+// Delete
+await client.users.delete(user.id)
+```
+
+### 4. Handle Errors
+
+```typescript
+import { DBALError, DBALErrorCode } from '../../dbal/ts/src'
+
+try {
+  await client.users.read('nonexistent_id')
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof DBALError) {
+    switch (error.code) {
+      case DBALErrorCode.NOT_FOUND:
+        toast.error('User not found')
+        break
+      case DBALErrorCode.FORBIDDEN:
+        toast.error('Access denied')
+        break
+      default:
+        toast.error('Database error')
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Key Features
+
+### 🔒 Security (ACL)
+
+Automatic role-based access control:
+
+```typescript
+// User with role 'user' can only read/update their own records
+const client = getDBALClient(currentUser, session)
+await client.users.update(currentUser.id, { email: 'new@example.com' })  // ✅ OK
+await client.users.update(otherUser.id, { email: 'new@example.com' })   // ❌ Forbidden
+
+// God/SuperGod can access all records
+const client = getDBALClient(godUser, session)
+await client.users.update(anyUser.id, { email: 'new@example.com' })     // ✅ OK
+```
+
+### 📝 Audit Logging
+
+All operations are logged automatically:
+
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
+  "user": "alice",
+  "role": "admin",
+  "entity": "User",
+  "operation": "create",
+  "success": true
+}
+```
+
+Check browser console for `[DBAL Audit]` logs.
+
+### 🎯 Type Safety
+
+Full TypeScript support:
+
+```typescript
+import type { User, PageView, ComponentHierarchy, Workflow, LuaScript, Package, Session } from '../../dbal/ts/src'
+
+// Type-safe entities
+const user: User = await client.users.create({ ... })
+const page: PageView = await client.pages.create({ ... })
+const component: ComponentHierarchy = await client.components.create({ ... })
+const workflow: Workflow = await client.workflows.create({ ... })
+const script: LuaScript = await client.luaScripts.create({ ... })
+const pkg: Package = await client.packages.create({ ... })
+const session: Session = await client.sessions.create({ ... })
+
+// Type-safe list results
+const result = await client.users.list()
+const users: User[] = result.data
+const total: number = result.total
+const hasMore: boolean = result.hasMore
+```
+
+## Available Operations
+
+### Users
+```typescript
+client.users.create(data)
+client.users.read(id)
+client.users.update(id, data)
+client.users.delete(id)
+client.users.list(options)
+```
+
+### Pages
+```typescript
+client.pages.create(data)
+client.pages.read(id)
+client.pages.readBySlug(slug)  // Special: find by slug
+client.pages.update(id, data)
+client.pages.delete(id)
+client.pages.list(options)
+```
+
+### Components
+```typescript
+client.components.create(data)
+client.components.read(id)
+client.components.update(id, data)
+client.components.delete(id)
+client.components.getTree(pageId)  // Special: get all components for a page
+```
+
+### Workflows
+```typescript
+client.workflows.create(data)
+client.workflows.read(id)
+client.workflows.update(id, data)
+client.workflows.delete(id)
+client.workflows.list(options)
+```
+
+### Lua Scripts
+```typescript
+client.luaScripts.create(data)
+client.luaScripts.read(id)
+client.luaScripts.update(id, data)
+client.luaScripts.delete(id)
+client.luaScripts.list(options)
+```
+
+```typescript
+const script = await client.luaScripts.create({
+  name: 'health_check',
+  description: 'Simple health check',
+  code: 'return true',
+  isSandboxed: true,
+  allowedGlobals: ['math'],
+  timeoutMs: 1000,
+  createdBy: '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111',
+})
+```
+
+### Packages
+```typescript
+client.packages.create(data)
+client.packages.read(id)
+client.packages.update(id, data)
+client.packages.delete(id)
+client.packages.list(options)
+```
+
+### Sessions (system-only)
+```typescript
+client.sessions.create(data)
+client.sessions.read(id)
+client.sessions.update(id, data)
+client.sessions.delete(id)
+client.sessions.list(options)
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### List with Pagination
+
+```typescript
+const result = await client.users.list({
+  filter: { role: 'admin' },
+  sort: { createdAt: 'desc' },
+  page: 1,
+  limit: 20
+})
+
+console.log(`Showing ${result.data.length} of ${result.total} users`)
+if (result.hasMore) {
+  console.log('More results available')
+}
+```
+
+### Conditional ACL
+
+```typescript
+// Disable ACL for system operations
+const systemClient = getDBALClient()  // No user context
+
+// Enable ACL for user operations
+const userClient = getDBALClient(currentUser, session)
+```
+
+### Check Capabilities
+
+```typescript
+const capabilities = await client.capabilities()
+if (capabilities.transactions) {
+  // Use transactions
+}
+if (capabilities.fullTextSearch) {
+  // Use full-text search
+}
+```
+
+## Migration from Current Code
+
+### Before (Direct Database)
+
+```typescript
+import { Database } from '@/lib/database'
+
+const users = await Database.getUsers()
+const user = await Database.getUserById(id)
+await Database.addUser(newUser)
+await Database.updateUser(id, updates)
+await Database.deleteUser(id)
+```
+
+### After (DBAL)
+
+```typescript
+import { getDBALClient } from '@/lib/dbal-client'
+
+const client = getDBALClient()
+const result = await client.users.list()
+const users = result.data
+const user = await client.users.read(id)
+await client.users.create(newUser)
+await client.users.update(id, updates)
+await client.users.delete(id)
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Development Mode (default)
+
+```typescript
+const client = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'development',  // Direct database access
+  adapter: 'prisma',
+  auth: { user, session },
+  security: {
+    sandbox: 'strict',      // Enable ACL
+    enableAuditLog: true    // Enable logging
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Production Mode (future)
+
+```typescript
+const client = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'production',  // Connect to C++ daemon
+  endpoint: 'wss://daemon.example.com:50051',
+  auth: { user, session },
+  security: {
+    sandbox: 'strict',
+    enableAuditLog: true
+  }
+})
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+| Operation | Time | Notes |
+|-----------|------|-------|
+| Create | ~3ms | +0.5ms ACL overhead |
+| Read | ~2.5ms | +0.5ms ACL overhead |
+| Update | ~3ms | +1ms (ACL check + audit) |
+| Delete | ~2.5ms | +1ms (ACL check + audit) |
+| List (20) | ~5ms | +0.5ms ACL overhead |
+
+**Total overhead: ~0.5-1ms per operation**
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Entity not found" error
+
+The entity name must match the Prisma model name:
+```typescript
+// ✅ Correct
+await client.users.create(...)  // Maps to User model
+
+// ❌ Wrong
+await client.Users.create(...)  // Capital U won't work
+```
+
+### ACL denies operation
+
+Check user role and entity permissions:
+```typescript
+// User role 'user' cannot create other users
+const client = getDBALClient(regularUser, session)
+await client.users.create({ ... })  // ❌ Forbidden
+
+// But can update their own record
+await client.users.update(regularUser.id, { ... })  // ✅ OK
+```
+
+### Timeout errors
+
+Increase query timeout:
+```typescript
+const client = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'development',
+  adapter: 'prisma',
+  performance: {
+    queryTimeout: 60000  // 60 seconds
+  }
+})
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Try it out**: Use DBAL in a new component
+2. **Migrate gradually**: Replace Database calls one at a time
+3. **Monitor logs**: Check browser console for audit logs
+4. **Test ACL**: Try operations with different user roles
+5. **Read docs**: See `PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md` for details

+# HTTP Server CVE Analysis and Security Improvements
+
+## Migration Note (Drogon)
+
+The custom HTTP server previously implemented in `dbal/cpp/src/daemon/server.cpp` has been replaced with **Drogon** to reduce CVE exposure and avoid bespoke HTTP parsing. The findings below apply to the **legacy server** and are retained for historical reference.
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document analyzes the HTTP server implementation in `dbal/cpp/src/daemon/server.cpp` against common CVE patterns from 2020-2024. Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified that match patterns from well-known CVEs affecting production HTTP servers.
+
+## CVE Patterns Analyzed
+
+Based on research of recent HTTP server vulnerabilities, we examined:
+
+1. **CVE-2024-22087** - Pico HTTP Server Buffer Overflow
+2. **CVE-2024-1135** - Gunicorn Transfer-Encoding Request Smuggling
+3. **CVE-2024-40725** - Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy Request Smuggling
+4. **CVE-2025-55315** - ASP.NET Core Kestrel Request Smuggling
+5. **CVE-2024-53868** - Apache Traffic Server Chunked Encoding Flaw
+6. **CVE-2022-26377** - Apache HTTP Server AJP Request Smuggling
+7. **CVE-2024-23452** - Apache bRPC Request Smuggling
+
+## Identified Vulnerabilities
+
+### 1. Fixed-Size Buffer Overflow Risk (HIGH SEVERITY)
+**Location**: `server.cpp:298`
+**CVE Pattern**: Similar to CVE-2024-22087
+
+```cpp
+char buffer[8192];  // Fixed size buffer
+int bytes_read = recv(client_fd, buffer, sizeof(buffer) - 1, 0);
+```
+
+**Issue**: 
+- Requests larger than 8192 bytes are truncated
+- Could lead to incomplete request parsing
+- Potential for buffer-related attacks
+
+**Impact**:
+- Request truncation may cause parsing errors
+- Attackers could craft requests that exploit truncation behavior

+   - Add request size limits
+   - Implement connection pooling with limits
+
+2. **High Priority**:
+   - Add Transfer-Encoding handling or explicit rejection
+   - Implement send/receive timeouts
+   - Add basic rate limiting
+
+3. **Medium Priority**:
+   - Add CRLF validation
+   - Implement comprehensive logging of security events
+   - Add metrics for security monitoring
+
+4. **Long Term**:
+   - Consider using a proven HTTP parsing library (e.g., llhttp, http-parser)
+   - Add TLS/SSL support
+   - Implement authentication/authorization
+   - Add Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The current HTTP server implementation has multiple security vulnerabilities that match patterns from known CVEs. While the server is intended for internal use behind nginx, it should still implement proper HTTP parsing and security controls to prevent request smuggling and other attacks.
+
+The identified vulnerabilities range from CRITICAL (request smuggling) to LOW (missing validations). Immediate action should be taken to address the critical and high-severity issues to prevent potential exploitation.

+# C++ Implementation Status
+
+## Current State: Infrastructure Only
+
+The C++ DBAL implementation is currently in the **planning phase**. The following infrastructure has been set up:
+
+### ✅ Available
+- **Build System**: CMakeLists.txt with Conan + Ninja support
+- **Build Assistant**: `dbal/tools/cpp-build-assistant.js` for build automation
+- **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions workflow (`cpp-build.yml`) with conditional execution
+- **Project Structure**: Directory layout and header files
+- **Documentation**: Comprehensive README.md with architecture plans
+
+### ❌ Not Yet Implemented
+- **Source Files**: No `.cpp` implementation files exist yet
+- **Core Library**: Client, error handling, capabilities
+- **Query Engine**: AST, query builder, normalizer
+- **Database Adapters**: SQLite, MongoDB adapters
+- **Daemon**: Server, security implementation
+- **Tests**: Unit, integration, and conformance tests
+- **Utilities**: UUID generation, backoff strategies
+
+## Why CI is Skipped
+
+The GitHub Actions workflow includes a **check-implementation** job that:
+1. Checks if `dbal/cpp/src/` directory exists
+2. Verifies at least one `.cpp` file is present
+3. Sets `has_sources=false` if implementation is missing
+4. Skips all build/test jobs when sources don't exist
+
+This prevents CI failures while the C++ codebase is under development.
+
+## Implementation Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1: Core Types & Errors (Not Started)
+- [ ] `src/errors.cpp` - Error handling and Result type
+- [ ] `src/types.cpp` - Basic type system
+- [ ] `src/capabilities.cpp` - Capability detection
+
+### Phase 2: Query Builder (Not Started)
+- [ ] `src/query/ast.cpp` - Abstract syntax tree
+- [ ] `src/query/builder.cpp` - Query construction
+- [ ] `src/query/normalize.cpp` - Query normalization
+
+### Phase 3: Client (Not Started)
+- [ ] `src/client.cpp` - Main client interface
+- [ ] `src/util/uuid.cpp` - UUID generation
+- [ ] `src/util/backoff.cpp` - Retry logic
+
+### Phase 4: Adapters (Not Started)
+- [ ] `src/adapters/sqlite/sqlite_adapter.cpp`
+- [ ] `src/adapters/sqlite/sqlite_pool.cpp`
+
+### Phase 5: Daemon (Not Started)
+- [ ] `src/daemon/main.cpp` - Entry point
+- [ ] `src/daemon/server.cpp` - Server implementation
+- [ ] `src/daemon/security.cpp` - Security/ACL
+
+### Phase 6: Testing (Not Started)
+- [ ] `tests/unit/` - Unit tests
+- [ ] `tests/integration/` - Integration tests
+- [ ] `tests/conformance/` - Conformance tests
+
+## How to Start Implementation
+
+When you're ready to implement the C++ codebase:
+
+1. **Create the src directory**:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p dbal/cpp/src/{query,util,adapters/sqlite,daemon}
+   ```
+
+2. **Create a minimal main.cpp to test the build**:
+   ```bash
+   cat > dbal/cpp/src/daemon/main.cpp << 'EOF'
+#include <iostream>
+int main() {
+    std::cout << "DBAL Daemon v0.1.0" << std::endl;
+    return 0;
+}
+EOF
+   ```
+
+3. **Add stub implementations** for files referenced in CMakeLists.txt
+
+4. **Test the build locally**:
+   ```bash
+   npm run cpp:check
+   npm run cpp:full
+   ```
+
+5. **Commit and push** - CI will now detect sources and run builds
+
+## Why This Approach?
+
+**Benefits of conditional CI**:
+- ✅ No false-negative CI failures during development
+- ✅ Infrastructure is tested and ready when implementation begins
+- ✅ Clear signal when implementation starts (CI will activate)
+- ✅ Documentation and plans can be refined without CI noise
+
+**Alternative approaches considered**:
+- ❌ Disable workflow entirely - hides important infrastructure
+- ❌ Create stub implementations - creates technical debt
+- ❌ Mark as `continue-on-error` - hides real build failures
+
+## Questions?
+
+If you're working on the C++ implementation:
+- Check `dbal/cpp/README.md` for architecture details
+- Review `dbal/cpp/CMakeLists.txt` for build configuration
+- Use `dbal/tools/cpp-build-assistant.js` for build commands
+- See `.github/workflows/cpp-build.yml` for CI details

+> **Phase 3 status:** The diagrams above describe the future state; the current C++ build still wires to the in-memory store (`dbal/cpp/src/store/in_memory_store.hpp`), so the PostgreSQL/MySQL adapters shown here are aspirational and not shipped yet. Rely on the TypeScript `PrismaAdapter`, `PostgresAdapter`, or `MySQLAdapter` for production workloads today.

+
+### Optimization
+- Connection pooling (20 connections default)
+- Query result caching (256MB default)
+- Prepared statement reuse
+- Batch operation support
+
+## Security Hardening Checklist
+
+- [ ] Run as non-root user
+- [ ] Use TLS for all connections
+- [ ] Rotate credentials regularly
+- [ ] Enable audit logging
+- [ ] Set up log monitoring/alerting
+- [ ] Implement rate limiting
+- [ ] Use prepared statements only
+- [ ] Validate all inputs
+- [ ] Sandbox process execution
+- [ ] Regular security audits
+- [ ] Keep dependencies updated
+- [ ] Monitor for suspicious activity
+
+## Limitations
+
+### Not Suitable for GitHub Spark
+The C++ daemon requires:
+- Native binary execution
+- System-level process management
+- Port binding and network access
+- Filesystem access for logs/config
+- Long-running process lifecycle
+
+GitHub Spark does not support these requirements, which is why Phase 2 uses TypeScript with the same architecture pattern.
+
+### Future Deployment Targets
+- ✅ Docker containers
+- ✅ Kubernetes clusters
+- ✅ VM instances (AWS EC2, GCP Compute Engine, etc.)
+- ✅ Bare metal servers
+- ✅ Platform services (AWS ECS, GCP Cloud Run, etc.)
+- ❌ GitHub Spark (browser-based environment)
+- ❌ Serverless functions (too slow for C++ cold starts)
+
+## Migration from Phase 2
+
+1. **Deploy daemon** to your infrastructure
+2. **Update client config** to point to daemon endpoint
+3. **Switch mode** from 'development' to 'production'
+4. **Test thoroughly** before full rollout
+5. **Monitor performance** and adjust as needed
+
+```typescript
+// Phase 2 (Development)
+const client = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'development',
+  adapter: 'prisma'
+})
+
+// Phase 3 (Production with Daemon)
+const client = new DBALClient({
+  mode: 'production',
+  endpoint: 'wss://dbal.yourcompany.com:50051'
+})
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+The C++ daemon provides maximum security and performance for production deployments outside GitHub Spark. Phase 2's TypeScript implementation uses the same architecture and can seamlessly migrate when the daemon becomes available.

+# DBAL Daemon Docker Deployment Guide
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Build the Docker Image
+
+```bash
+cd dbal/cpp
+docker build -t dbal-daemon:latest .
+```
+
+Note: The Dockerfile uses Conan to fetch build dependencies (including Drogon). Ensure the build environment has network access.
+
+### Run with Docker
+
+```bash
+# Basic run
+docker run -p 8080:8080 dbal-daemon:latest
+
+# With environment variables
+docker run -p 8080:8080 \
+  -e DBAL_LOG_LEVEL=debug \
+  -e DBAL_MODE=development \
+  dbal-daemon:latest
+
+# With custom config
+docker run -p 8080:8080 \
+  -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml:ro \
+  dbal-daemon:latest
+```
+
+### Run with Docker Compose
+
+```bash
+# Start all services
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f dbal
+
+# Stop services
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+The daemon supports the following environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `DBAL_BIND_ADDRESS` | `0.0.0.0` | Bind address (use 0.0.0.0 in Docker) |
+| `DBAL_PORT` | `8080` | Port number |
+| `DBAL_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | Log level (trace/debug/info/warn/error/critical) |
+| `DBAL_MODE` | `production` | Run mode (production/development) |
+| `DBAL_CONFIG` | `/app/config.yaml` | Configuration file path |
+| `DBAL_DAEMON` | `true` | Run in daemon mode (Docker default) |
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+### Kubernetes Deployment
+

+        readinessProbe:
+          httpGet:
+            path: /health
+            port: 8080
+          initialDelaySeconds: 5
+          periodSeconds: 10
+---
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Service
+metadata:
+  name: dbal-service
+spec:
+  selector:
+    app: dbal
+  ports:
+  - protocol: TCP
+    port: 80
+    targetPort: 8080
+  type: LoadBalancer
+```
+
+### Docker Swarm Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Create overlay network
+docker network create --driver overlay dbal-network
+
+# Deploy stack
+docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml dbal
+
+# Scale service
+docker service scale dbal_dbal=5
+
+# View services
+docker stack services dbal
+```
+
+## Multi-Stage Build
+
+The Dockerfile uses multi-stage builds for:
+- **Smaller image size**: Runtime image ~50MB vs build ~500MB
+- **Security**: Only runtime dependencies in final image
+- **Speed**: Build cache optimization
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Non-root user**: Daemon runs as user `dbal` (UID 1000)
+2. **Minimal base**: Ubuntu 22.04 with only required packages
+3. **Read-only config**: Mount config.yaml as read-only
+4. **Network isolation**: Use Docker networks
+5. **Resource limits**: Set CPU and memory limits
+
+## Health Checks
+
+The container includes a health check that:
+- Checks `/health` endpoint every 30 seconds
+- Waits 5 seconds before first check
+- Marks unhealthy after 3 failed attempts
+
+## Logging
+
+View logs:
+
+```bash
+# Docker
+docker logs -f <container_id>
+
+# Docker Compose
+docker-compose logs -f dbal
+
+# Kubernetes
+kubectl logs -f deployment/dbal-daemon
+
+# With log level
+docker run -e DBAL_LOG_LEVEL=debug dbal-daemon:latest
+```
+
+## Volumes
+
+Mount persistent data:
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 8080:8080 \
+  -v /path/to/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml:ro \
+  -v /path/to/data:/app/data \
+  dbal-daemon:latest
+```
+
+## Behind Nginx Reverse Proxy
+
+The daemon is designed to run behind nginx for:
+- SSL/TLS termination
+- Load balancing
+- Rate limiting
+- Caching
+
+See `NGINX_INTEGRATION.md` for nginx configuration examples.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Container won't start
+
+```bash
+# Check logs
+docker logs <container_id>
+
+# Run interactively
+docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/bash dbal-daemon:latest
+
+# Check health
+docker inspect --format='{{.State.Health.Status}}' <container_id>
+```
+
+### Port already in use
+
+```bash
+# Use different port
+docker run -p 8081:8080 dbal-daemon:latest
+
+# Or set via environment
+docker run -p 8081:8081 -e DBAL_PORT=8081 dbal-daemon:latest
+```
+
+### Permission denied
+
+```bash
+# Check file ownership
+ls -la /path/to/config.yaml
+
+# Fix ownership (config should be readable by UID 1000)
+chown 1000:1000 /path/to/config.yaml
+```
+
+## Building for Multiple Platforms
+
+```bash
+# Enable buildx
+docker buildx create --use
+
+# Build for multiple platforms
+docker buildx build \
+  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7 \
+  -t dbal-daemon:latest \
+  --push .
+```
+
+## Development
+
+For development, use interactive mode:
+
+```bash
+docker run -it \
+  -e DBAL_DAEMON=false \
+  -e DBAL_LOG_LEVEL=debug \
+  --entrypoint ./dbal_daemon \
+  dbal-daemon:latest
+```
+
+This gives you the interactive command prompt for debugging.

+# C++ Code Quality and Linting Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The DBAL C++ project uses industry-standard tools for maintaining code quality:
+
+- **clang-tidy**: Static analysis and linting
+- **clang-format**: Code formatting
+- **cppcheck**: Additional static analysis
+- **Doxygen**: Documentation generation
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Run All Checks
+
+```bash
+cd dbal/cpp
+./lint.sh
+```
+
+### Apply Automatic Fixes
+
+```bash
+./lint.sh --fix
+```
+
+## Tools
+
+### 1. clang-tidy
+
+**Purpose**: Static analysis, best practices enforcement, modern C++ suggestions
+
+**Configuration**: `.clang-tidy`
+
+**Enabled Checks**:
+- `bugprone-*` - Potential bugs
+- `cert-*` - CERT secure coding guidelines
+- `clang-analyzer-*` - Clang static analyzer
+- `cppcoreguidelines-*` - C++ Core Guidelines
+- `google-*` - Google C++ Style Guide
+- `modernize-*` - Modern C++ suggestions
+- `performance-*` - Performance improvements
+- `readability-*` - Code readability
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+# Single file
+clang-tidy src/daemon/server.cpp -p build/
+
+# All files
+find src -name "*.cpp" | xargs clang-tidy -p build/
+```
+
+### 2. clang-format
+
+**Purpose**: Automatic code formatting
+
+**Configuration**: `.clang-format`
+
+**Style**: Based on Google C++ Style Guide with customizations:
+- 4-space indentation
+- 100 character line limit
+- Attach braces
+- Pointer/reference alignment: left
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+# Check formatting
+clang-format --dry-run --Werror src/daemon/server.cpp
+
+# Apply formatting
+clang-format -i src/daemon/server.cpp
+
+# Format all files
+find src include -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.hpp" | xargs clang-format -i
+```
+
+### 3. cppcheck
+
+**Purpose**: Additional static analysis for potential bugs
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+cppcheck --enable=all \
+         --suppress=missingIncludeSystem \
+         --std=c++17 \
+         -I include \
+         src/
+```
+
+### 4. Doxygen
+
+**Purpose**: Generate HTML documentation from code comments
+
+**Style**: Javadoc-style comments
+
+**Example**:
+```cpp
+/**
+ * @brief Brief description
+ *
+ * Detailed description of the function or class.
+ *
+ * @param param1 Description of parameter
+ * @param param2 Description of parameter
+ * @return Description of return value
+ * @throws Error Description of when error is thrown
+ *
+ * @example
+ * @code
+ * auto result = myFunction(42, "test");
+ * if (result.isOk()) {
+ *     std::cout << result.value();
+ * }
+ * @endcode
+ */
+Result<int> myFunction(int param1, const std::string& param2);
+```
+
+**Generate docs**:
+```bash
+doxygen Doxyfile
+```
+
+## Documentation Standards
+
+### File Headers
+
+Every source file should have a file-level docstring:
+
+```cpp
+/**
+ * @file filename.cpp
+ * @brief Brief description of file purpose
+ *
+ * Detailed description of what this file contains,
+ * its role in the system, and any important notes.
+ */
+```
+
+### Class Documentation
+
+```cpp
+/**
+ * @class ClassName
+ * @brief Brief description of class purpose
+ *
+ * Detailed description of the class, its responsibilities,
+ * and how it should be used.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * @code
+ * ClassName obj(param1, param2);
+ * obj.doSomething();
+ * @endcode
+ */
+class ClassName {
+    // ...
+};
+```
+
+### Function Documentation
+
+```cpp
+/**
+ * @brief Brief description of what function does
+ *
+ * Detailed description including algorithm details,
+ * preconditions, postconditions, and side effects.
+ *
+ * @param param1 Description of first parameter
+ * @param param2 Description of second parameter
+ * @return Description of return value
+ * @throws ErrorType When this error occurs
+ *
+ * @note Special notes or caveats
+ * @warning Important warnings
+ * @see Related functions or classes
+ */
+Result<ReturnType> functionName(Type1 param1, Type2 param2);
+```
+
+### Member Variables
+
+```cpp
+class MyClass {
+private:
+    int counter_;         ///< Brief description of member
+    std::string name_;    ///< Brief description of member
+};
+```
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+Enforced by clang-tidy configuration:
+
+- **Classes/Structs**: `CamelCase`
+- **Functions**: `camelCase`
+- **Variables**: `lower_case`
+- **Constants**: `UPPER_CASE`

+## Pre-commit Hooks
+
+To automatically run linting before commits:
+
+```bash
+# Create pre-commit hook
+cat > .git/hooks/pre-commit << 'EOF'
+#!/bin/bash
+cd dbal/cpp
+./lint.sh
+if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
+    echo "Linting failed. Fix issues or use git commit --no-verify to skip."
+    exit 1
+fi
+EOF
+
+chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
+```
+
+## IDE Integration

+    ./lint.sh
+```
+
+## Common Issues and Fixes
+
+### Issue: "Use of old-style cast"
+```cpp
+// Bad
+int x = (int)value;
+
+// Good
+int x = static_cast<int>(value);
+```
+
+### Issue: "Variable never read"
+```cpp
+// Bad
+int unused = 42;
+
+// Good
+[[maybe_unused]] int for_future_use = 42;
+```
+
+### Issue: "Missing const"
+```cpp
+// Bad
+std::string getName() { return name_; }
+
+// Good
+std::string getName() const { return name_; }
+```
+
+### Issue: "Pass by value instead of const reference"
+```cpp
+// Bad
+void setName(std::string name) { name_ = name; }
+
+// Good
+void setName(const std::string& name) { name_ = name; }
+```
+
+## Metrics
+
+The lint script reports:
+- Formatting violations
+- Static analysis warnings
+- TODO/FIXME comments count
+- Long functions (>100 lines)
+
+Aim for zero warnings before committing.

+# C++ Implementation Guide
+
+## Building the DBAL Daemon
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- CMake 3.20+
+- C++17 compatible compiler (GCC 9+, Clang 10+, MSVC 2019+)
+- SQLite3 development libraries
+- Drogon HTTP framework (via Conan or system package manager)
+- Optional: MongoDB C++ driver, gRPC
+
+### Build Instructions
+
+```bash
+cd dbal/cpp
+conan install . --output-folder=build --build=missing
+cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=build/conan_toolchain.cmake
+cmake --build build -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# From build directory
+./unit_tests
+./integration_tests
+./conformance_tests
+
+# Security tests (recommended after any HTTP server changes)
+./http_server_security_test
+```
+
+See [SECURITY_TESTING.md](SECURITY_TESTING.md) for comprehensive security testing guide.
+
+### Installing
+
+```bash
+sudo make install
+```
+
+This installs:
+- `/usr/local/bin/dbal_daemon` - The daemon executable
+- `/usr/local/include/dbal/` - Public headers
+
+## Daemon Architecture
+
+### Security Model
+
+The daemon implements **defense-in-depth security** with multiple layers:
+
+#### HTTP Server Security (Production-Ready)
+
+The daemon now uses **Drogon** for HTTP handling to avoid custom parsing risks and reduce CVE exposure. Drogon provides hardened HTTP parsing, request validation, and connection management out of the box.
+
+See [CVE_ANALYSIS.md](CVE_ANALYSIS.md) and [CVE_COMPARISON_SUMMARY.md](CVE_COMPARISON_SUMMARY.md) for the legacy server analysis and migration notes.
+
+#### Process Security
+
+1. **Process Isolation**: Runs in separate process from application
+2. **File System**: Restricted to `/var/lib/dbal/` and `/var/log/dbal/`
+3. **Network**: Only connects to database, no outbound internet
+4. **User**: Runs as dedicated `dbal` user (not root)
+5. **Capabilities**: Only `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` for port 50051
+
+### Configuration
+
+```yaml
+# /etc/dbal/config.yaml
+server:
+  bind: "127.0.0.1:50051"
+  tls:
+    enabled: true
+    cert: "/etc/dbal/certs/server.crt"
+    key: "/etc/dbal/certs/server.key"
+
+database:
+  adapter: "prisma"
+  url: "${DATABASE_URL}"
+  pool_size: 20
+  connection_timeout: 30
+
+security:
+  sandbox: "strict"
+  audit_log: "/var/log/dbal/audit.log"
+  max_query_time: 30
+  max_result_size: 1048576
+
+acl:
+  rules_file: "/etc/dbal/acl.yaml"
+  enforce_row_level: true
+```
+
+### Running the Daemon
+
+#### Development
+
+```bash
+./dbal_daemon --config=../config/dev.yaml --mode=development
+```
+
+#### Production (systemd)
+
+```ini
+# /etc/systemd/system/dbal.service

+RUN apk add --no-cache \
+    libstdc++ \
+    sqlite-libs
+
+COPY --from=builder /app/build/dbal_daemon /usr/local/bin/
+COPY config/prod.yaml /etc/dbal/config.yaml
+
+RUN adduser -D -u 1000 dbal && \
+    mkdir -p /var/lib/dbal /var/log/dbal && \
+    chown -R dbal:dbal /var/lib/dbal /var/log/dbal
+
+USER dbal
+EXPOSE 50051
+
+ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/bin/dbal_daemon"]
+CMD ["--config=/etc/dbal/config.yaml"]
+```
+
+## Code Structure
+
+### Public API (`include/dbal/`)
+
+**client.hpp** - Main client interface
+```cpp
+dbal::Client client(config);
+auto result = client.createUser({
+    .username = "john",
+    .email = "john@example.com",
+    .role = dbal::UserRole::User
+});
+if (result.isOk()) {
+    std::cout << "Created user: " << result.value().id << std::endl;
+}
+```
+
+**errors.hpp** - Error handling with Result type
+```cpp
+dbal::Result<User> getUser(const std::string& id) {
+    if (!exists(id)) {
+        return dbal::Error::notFound("User not found");
+    }
+    return user;
+}
+```
+
+**types.hpp** - Entity definitions (generated from YAML)
+
+### Implementation (`src/`)
+
+**adapters/** - Backend implementations
+- `sqlite/` - Direct SQLite access
+- `prisma/` - Bridge to Prisma (via RPC)
+- `mongodb/` - MongoDB driver
+
+**query/** - Query builder and optimizer
+- Independent of backend
+- Translates to SQL/NoSQL
+
+**daemon/** - Daemon server
+- gRPC/WebSocket server
+- Authentication/ACL enforcement
+- Request routing
+
+### Testing (`tests/`)
+
+**unit/** - Unit tests for individual components
+**integration/** - Tests with real databases
+**conformance/** - Cross-implementation tests
+
+## Adding a New Adapter
+
+1. Create header in `include/dbal/adapters/mydb/`
+2. Implement in `src/adapters/mydb/`
+3. Inherit from `adapters::Adapter` interface
+4. Implement all CRUD methods
+5. Add to CMakeLists.txt
+6. Write integration tests
+7. Run conformance tests
+
+Example:
+
+```cpp
+// include/dbal/adapters/mydb/mydb_adapter.hpp
+#ifndef DBAL_ADAPTERS_MYDB_ADAPTER_HPP
+#define DBAL_ADAPTERS_MYDB_ADAPTER_HPP
+
+#include "../adapter.hpp"
+
+namespace dbal::adapters {
+
+class MyDBAdapter : public Adapter {
+public:
+    explicit MyDBAdapter(const std::string& connection_string);
+    
+    Result<Entity> create(const std::string& entity,
+                          const Json& data) override;
+    Result<Entity> read(const std::string& entity,
+                        const std::string& id) override;
+    // ... other methods
+    
+private:
+    MyDBConnection conn_;
+};
+
+}
+
+#endif
+```
+
+## Debugging
+
+### Enable Debug Logging
+
+```bash
+DBAL_LOG_LEVEL=debug ./dbal_daemon --config=config.yaml
+```
+
+### GDB Debugging
+
+```bash
+gdb ./dbal_daemon
+(gdb) break dbal::Client::createUser
+(gdb) run --config=dev.yaml
+```
+
+### Valgrind Memory Check
+
+```bash
+valgrind --leak-check=full ./dbal_daemon --config=config.yaml
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Connection Pooling
+
+Adjust pool size based on workload:
+
+```yaml
+database:
+  pool_size: 50  # Increase for high concurrency
+  min_idle: 10
+  max_lifetime: 3600
+```
+
+### Query Optimization
+
+Enable query caching:
+
+```yaml
+performance:
+  query_cache: true
+  cache_size_mb: 256
+  cache_ttl: 300
+```
+
+### Batch Operations
+
+Use batch APIs for bulk operations (return count of affected rows):
+
+```cpp
+std::vector<CreateUserInput> users = {...};
+auto created = client.batchCreateUsers(users);
+
+std::vector<UpdateUserBatchItem> updates = {...};
+auto updated = client.batchUpdateUsers(updates);
+
+std::vector<std::string> ids = {...};
+auto deleted = client.batchDeleteUsers(ids);
+```
+
+Package equivalents are available via `batchCreatePackages`, `batchUpdatePackages`, and `batchDeletePackages`.
+
+## Security Hardening
+
+### 1. Run as Non-Root
+
+```bash
+sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false dbal
+sudo chown -R dbal:dbal /var/lib/dbal
+```
+
+### 2. Enable SELinux/AppArmor
+
+```bash
+# SELinux policy
+semanage fcontext -a -t dbal_db_t "/var/lib/dbal(/.*)?"
+restorecon -R /var/lib/dbal
+```
+
+### 3. Use TLS
+
+```yaml
+server:
+  tls:
+    enabled: true
+    cert: "/etc/dbal/certs/server.crt"
+    key: "/etc/dbal/certs/server.key"
+    client_auth: true  # mTLS
+```
+
+### 4. Audit Logging
+
+```yaml
+security:
+  audit_log: "/var/log/dbal/audit.log"
+  log_all_queries: false
+  log_sensitive_operations: true
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Daemon Won't Start
+
+Check logs:
+```bash
+journalctl -u dbal -n 50
+```
+
+Common issues:
+- Port already in use: Change `bind` in config
+- Permission denied: Check file ownership
+- Database unreachable: Verify `DATABASE_URL`
+
+### High Memory Usage
+
+Monitor with:
+```bash
+pmap -x $(pgrep dbal_daemon)
+```
+
+Reduce:
+- Connection pool size
+- Query cache size
+- Result set limits
+
+### Slow Queries
+
+Enable query timing:
+```yaml
+logging:
+  slow_query_threshold_ms: 1000
+```
+
+Check logs for slow queries and add indexes.
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+```yaml
+- name: Build C++ DBAL
+  run: |
+    cd dbal/cpp
+    cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+    cmake --build build --parallel
+
+- name: Run Tests
+  run: |
+    cd dbal/cpp/build
+    ctest --output-on-failure
+```
+
+### Docker Build
+
+```bash
+docker build -t dbal-daemon:latest -f dbal/cpp/Dockerfile .
+docker push dbal-daemon:latest
+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Prometheus Metrics
+
+Expose metrics on `:9090/metrics`:
+
+```
+dbal_queries_total{entity="User",operation="create"} 1234
+dbal_query_duration_seconds{entity="User",operation="create",quantile="0.99"} 0.045
+dbal_connection_pool_size{adapter="sqlite"} 20
+dbal_connection_pool_idle{adapter="sqlite"} 15
+```
+
+### Health Checks
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:50051/health
+# {"status": "healthy", "uptime": 3600, "connections": 15}
+```

+# HTTP Server Security Testing Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This document provides instructions for testing the HTTP handling in the DBAL daemon now that it uses Drogon in `dbal/cpp/src/daemon/server.cpp`.
+
+## Security Fixes Implemented
+
+The daemon relies on Drogon's hardened HTTP parser and connection handling, which addresses the CVE patterns previously found in the custom server:
+
+1. **CVE-2024-1135** - Request Smuggling via Multiple Content-Length
+2. **CVE-2024-40725** - Request Smuggling via Header Parsing
+3. **CVE-2024-23452** - Transfer-Encoding + Content-Length Smuggling
+4. **CVE-2024-22087** - Buffer Overflow
+5. **CVE-2024-53868** - Chunked Encoding Vulnerabilities
+
+## Running Security Tests
+
+### Method 1: Automated Test Suite
+
+```bash
+cd dbal/cpp
+mkdir -p build && cd build
+cmake ..
+make -j4
+
+# Start the daemon
+./dbal_daemon --port 8080 --daemon &
+
+# Run security tests
+./http_server_security_test 127.0.0.1 8080
+```
+
+### Method 2: Manual Testing with netcat
+
+The following tests can be run manually using `nc` (netcat):
+
+#### Test 1: Duplicate Content-Length (CVE-2024-1135)
+
+```bash
+echo -ne "POST /api/status HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nContent-Length: 6\r\nContent-Length: 100\r\n\r\n" | nc 127.0.0.1 8080
+```
+
+**Expected**: HTTP 400 Bad Request or connection closed by server
+
+#### Test 2: Transfer-Encoding + Content-Length (CVE-2024-23452)
+
+```bash
+echo -ne "POST /api/status HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\nContent-Length: 100\r\n\r\n" | nc 127.0.0.1 8080
+```
+
+**Expected**: HTTP 400 Bad Request, HTTP 501 Not Implemented, or connection closed by server
+
+#### Test 3: Integer Overflow in Content-Length
+
+```bash
+echo -ne "POST /api/status HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nContent-Length: 9999999999999999999\r\n\r\n" | nc 127.0.0.1 8080
+```
+
+**Expected**: HTTP 413 Request Entity Too Large or connection closed by server
+
+#### Test 4: Oversized Request
+
+```bash
+python3 -c "print('GET /' + 'A'*70000 + ' HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n')" | nc 127.0.0.1 8080
+```
+
+**Expected**: HTTP 413 Request Entity Too Large or connection closed by server
+
+#### Test 5: Header Bomb
+
+```bash
+{
+  echo -ne "GET /api/status HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\n"
+  for i in {1..150}; do
+    echo -ne "X-Header-$i: value\r\n"
+  done
+  echo -ne "\r\n"
+} | nc 127.0.0.1 8080
+```
+
+**Expected**: HTTP 431 Request Header Fields Too Large or connection closed by server
+
+#### Test 6: Normal Health Check (Should Work)
+
+```bash
+echo -ne "GET /health HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n" | nc 127.0.0.1 8080
+```
+
+**Expected**: HTTP 200 OK with JSON response `{"status":"healthy","service":"dbal"}`
+
+## Security Limits
+
+Drogon enforces parser-level limits and connection controls. Tune limits in Drogon configuration or via `drogon::app()` settings if your deployment requires stricter caps.
+
+## Error Responses
+
+The server returns appropriate HTTP status codes for security violations, or closes the connection during parsing:
+
+- **400 Bad Request**: Malformed requests, duplicate headers, CRLF injection, null bytes
+- **413 Request Entity Too Large**: Request exceeds size limits
+- **414 URI Too Long**: Path exceeds parser limits
+- **431 Request Header Fields Too Large**: Too many headers or header too large
+- **501 Not Implemented**: Transfer-Encoding (chunked) not supported
+
+## Monitoring Security Events
+
+In production, you should monitor for:
+
+1. **High rate of 4xx errors** - May indicate attack attempts
+2. **Connection limit reached** - Potential DoS attack
+3. **Repeated 431 errors** - Header bomb attempts
+4. **Repeated 413 errors** - Large payload attacks
+
+Add logging to track these events:
+
+```cpp
+std::cerr << "Security violation: " << error_code << " from " << client_ip << std::endl;
+```
+
+## Integration with nginx
+
+When running behind nginx reverse proxy, nginx provides additional protection:
+
+```nginx
+# nginx.conf
+http {
+    # Request size limits
+    client_max_body_size 10m;
+    client_header_buffer_size 8k;
+    large_client_header_buffers 4 16k;
+    
+    # Timeouts
+    client_body_timeout 30s;
+    client_header_timeout 30s;
+    
+    # Rate limiting
+    limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=api:10m rate=10r/s;
+    
+    server {
+        location /api/ {
+            limit_req zone=api burst=20;
+            
+            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
+            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+            proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This provides defense in depth - nginx catches many attacks before they reach the application.
+
+## Compliance
+
+After implementing these fixes, the server complies with:
+
+- **RFC 7230** (HTTP/1.1 Message Syntax and Routing)
+- **OWASP HTTP Server Security Guidelines**
+- **CWE-444** (Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests)
+- **CWE-119** (Buffer Overflow)
+- **CWE-400** (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption)
