Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Denial of Service: Recursive algorithms in object representation (__repr__) and equality comparisons (__eq__) can be exploited by deeply nested structures to cause RecursionErrors or exponential evaluation time, resulting in application crashes. This was addressed using iterative stack-based approaches.
Denial of Service: Untrusted input containing excessively large duration properties can trigger unhandled OverflowError exceptions during parsing of date-time and timedelta fields, leading to immediate service termination.
