Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service: Frequent rapid re-validations can lead to CPU/memory exhaustion or crashes if previous background child processes are not safely terminated, synchronized, or cancelled via structured IPC.
Denial of Service: Misconfigured projects or invalid configurations can trigger infinite worker restart loops, draining system resources unless restricted by a state-machine-backed worker lifecycle.
Denial of Service: Background worker processes failing to exit immediately upon completion of their parent callbacks can cause cumulative memory and process leaks over time.
