19.5.12

The previous fix only addressed ForwardingHandler classes but missed the critical setupDirectConnection() method in route-connection-handler.ts where SmartProxy actually handles connections. This caused active connections to rise indefinitely on ECONNREFUSED errors.

Changes:
- Import createSocketWithErrorHandler in route-connection-handler.ts
- Replace net.connect() with createSocketWithErrorHandler() in setupDirectConnection()
- Properly clean up connection records when server connection fails
- Add connectionFailed flag to prevent setup of failed connections

This ensures connection records are cleaned up immediately when backend connections fail, preventing memory leaks.

+## HTTP-01 ACME Challenge Fix (v19.3.8)
+
+### Issue
+Non-TLS connections on ports configured in `useHttpProxy` were not being forwarded to HttpProxy. This caused ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail when the ACME port (usually 80) was included in `useHttpProxy`.
+
+### Root Cause
+In the `RouteConnectionHandler.handleForwardAction` method, only connections with TLS settings (mode: 'terminate' or 'terminate-and-reencrypt') were being forwarded to HttpProxy. Non-TLS connections were always handled as direct connections, even when the port was configured for HttpProxy.
+
+### Solution
+Added a check for non-TLS connections on ports listed in `useHttpProxy`:
+```typescript
+// No TLS settings - check if this port should use HttpProxy
+const isHttpProxyPort = this.settings.useHttpProxy?.includes(record.localPort);
+
+if (isHttpProxyPort && this.httpProxyBridge.getHttpProxy()) {
+  // Forward non-TLS connections to HttpProxy if configured
+  this.httpProxyBridge.forwardToHttpProxy(/*...*/);
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.http-fix-unit.ts` - Unit tests verifying the fix
+- Tests confirm that non-TLS connections on HttpProxy ports are properly forwarded
+- Tests verify that non-HttpProxy ports still use direct connections
+
+### Configuration Example
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  useHttpProxy: [80], // Enable HttpProxy for port 80
+  httpProxyPort: 8443,
+  acme: {
+    email: 'ssl@example.com',
+    port: 80
+  },
+  routes: [
+    // Your routes here
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## ACME Certificate Provisioning Timing Fix (v19.3.9)
+
+### Issue
+Certificate provisioning would start before ports were listening, causing ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail with connection refused errors.
+
+### Root Cause
+SmartProxy initialization sequence:
+1. Certificate manager initialized → immediately starts provisioning
+2. Ports start listening (too late for ACME challenges)
+
+### Solution
+Deferred certificate provisioning until after ports are ready:
+```typescript
+// SmartCertManager.initialize() now skips automatic provisioning
+// SmartProxy.start() calls provisionAllCertificates() directly after ports are listening
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.acme-timing-simple.ts` - Verifies proper timing sequence
+
+### Migration
+Update to v19.3.9+, no configuration changes needed.
+
+## Socket Handler Race Condition Fix (v19.5.0)
+
+### Issue
+Initial data chunks were being emitted before async socket handlers had completed setup, causing data loss when handlers performed async operations before setting up data listeners.
+
+### Root Cause
+The `handleSocketHandlerAction` method was using `process.nextTick` to emit initial chunks regardless of whether the handler was sync or async. This created a race condition where async handlers might not have their listeners ready when the initial data was emitted.
+
+### Solution
+Differentiated between sync and async handlers:
+```typescript
+const result = route.action.socketHandler(socket);
+
+if (result instanceof Promise) {
+  // Async handler - wait for completion before emitting initial data
+  result.then(() => {
+    if (initialChunk && initialChunk.length > 0) {
+      socket.emit('data', initialChunk);
+    }
+  }).catch(/*...*/);
+} else {
+  // Sync handler - use process.nextTick as before
+  if (initialChunk && initialChunk.length > 0) {
+    process.nextTick(() => {
+      socket.emit('data', initialChunk);
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.socket-handler-race.ts` - Specifically tests async handlers with delayed listener setup
+- Verifies that initial data is received even when handler sets up listeners after async work
+
+### Usage Note
+Socket handlers require initial data from the client to trigger routing (not just a TLS handshake). Clients must send at least one byte of data for the handler to be invoked.
+
+## Route-Specific Security Implementation (v19.5.3)
+
+### Issue
+Route-specific security configurations (ipAllowList, ipBlockList, authentication) were defined in the route types but not enforced at runtime.
+
+### Root Cause
+The RouteConnectionHandler only checked global IP validation but didn't enforce route-specific security rules after matching a route.
+
+### Solution
+Added security checks after route matching:
+```typescript
+// Apply route-specific security checks
+const routeSecurity = route.action.security || route.security;
+if (routeSecurity) {
+  // Check IP allow/block lists
+  if (routeSecurity.ipAllowList || routeSecurity.ipBlockList) {
+    const isIPAllowed = this.securityManager.isIPAuthorized(
+      remoteIP,
+      routeSecurity.ipAllowList || [],
+      routeSecurity.ipBlockList || []
+    );
+    
+    if (!isIPAllowed) {
+      socket.end();
+      this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, 'route_ip_blocked');
+      return;
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.route-security-unit.ts` - Unit tests verifying SecurityManager.isIPAuthorized logic
+- Tests confirm IP allow/block lists work correctly with glob patterns
+
+### Configuration Example
+```typescript
+const routes: IRouteConfig[] = [{
+  name: 'secure-api',
+  match: { ports: 8443, domains: 'api.example.com' },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 },
+    security: {
+      ipAllowList: ['192.168.1.*', '10.0.0.0/8'],    // Allow internal IPs
+      ipBlockList: ['192.168.1.100'],                // But block specific IP
+      maxConnections: 100,                            // Per-route limit (TODO)
+      authentication: {                               // HTTP-only, requires TLS termination
+        type: 'basic',
+        credentials: [{ username: 'api', password: 'secret' }]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}];
+```
+
+### Notes
+- IP lists support glob patterns (via minimatch): `192.168.*`, `10.?.?.1`
+- Block lists take precedence over allow lists
+- Authentication requires TLS termination (cannot be enforced on passthrough/direct connections)
+- Per-route connection limits are not yet implemented
+- Security is defined at the route level (route.security), not in the action
+- Route matching is based solely on match criteria; security is enforced after matching

+## Performance Issues Investigation (v19.5.3+)
+
+### Critical Blocking Operations Found
+1. **Busy Wait Loop** in `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts:235-238`
+   - Blocks entire event loop with `while (Date.now() < waitUntil) {}`
+   - Should use `await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay))`
+
+2. **Synchronous Filesystem Operations**
+   - Certificate management uses `fs.existsSync()`, `fs.mkdirSync()`, `fs.readFileSync()`
+   - NFTables proxy uses `execSync()` for system commands
+   - Certificate store uses `ensureDirSync()`, `fileExistsSync()`, `removeManySync()`
+
+3. **Memory Leak Risks**
+   - Several `setInterval()` calls without storing references for cleanup
+   - Event listeners added without proper cleanup in error paths
+   - Missing `removeAllListeners()` calls in some connection cleanup scenarios
+
+### Performance Recommendations
+- Replace all sync filesystem operations with async alternatives
+- Fix the busy wait loop immediately (critical event loop blocker)
+- Add proper cleanup for all timers and event listeners
+- Consider worker threads for CPU-intensive operations
+- See `readme.problems.md` for detailed analysis and recommendations
+
+## Performance Optimizations Implemented (Phase 1 - v19.6.0)
+
+### 1. Async Utilities Created (`ts/core/utils/async-utils.ts`)
+- **delay()**: Non-blocking alternative to busy wait loops
+- **retryWithBackoff()**: Retry operations with exponential backoff
+- **withTimeout()**: Execute operations with timeout protection
+- **parallelLimit()**: Run async operations with concurrency control
+- **debounceAsync()**: Debounce async functions
+- **AsyncMutex**: Ensure exclusive access to resources
+- **CircuitBreaker**: Protect against cascading failures
+
+### 2. Filesystem Utilities Created (`ts/core/utils/fs-utils.ts`)
+- **AsyncFileSystem**: Complete async filesystem operations
+  - exists(), ensureDir(), readFile(), writeFile()
+  - readJSON(), writeJSON() with proper error handling
+  - copyFile(), moveFile(), removeDir()
+  - Stream creation and file listing utilities
+
+### 3. Critical Fixes Applied
+
+#### Busy Wait Loop Fixed
+- **Location**: `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts:235-238`
+- **Fix**: Replaced `while (Date.now() < waitUntil) {}` with `await delay(ms)`
+- **Impact**: Unblocks event loop, massive performance improvement
+
+#### Certificate Manager Migration
+- **File**: `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts`
+- Added async initialization method
+- Kept sync methods for backward compatibility with deprecation warnings
+- Added `loadDefaultCertificatesAsync()` method
+
+#### Certificate Store Migration  
+- **File**: `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts`
+- Replaced all `fileExistsSync`, `ensureDirSync`, `removeManySync`
+- Used parallel operations with `Promise.all()` for better performance
+- Improved error handling and async JSON operations
+
+#### NFTables Proxy Improvements
+- Added deprecation warnings to sync methods
+- Created `executeWithTempFile()` helper for common pattern
+- Started migration of sync filesystem operations to async
+- Added import for delay and AsyncFileSystem utilities
+
+### 4. Backward Compatibility Maintained
+- All sync methods retained with deprecation warnings
+- Existing APIs unchanged, new async methods added alongside
+- Feature flags prepared for gradual rollout
+
+### 5. Phase 1 Completion Status
+✅ **Phase 1 COMPLETE** - All critical performance fixes have been implemented:
+- ✅ Fixed busy wait loop in nftables-proxy.ts  
+- ✅ Created async utilities (delay, retry, timeout, parallelLimit, mutex, circuit breaker)
+- ✅ Created filesystem utilities (AsyncFileSystem with full async operations)
+- ✅ Migrated all certificate management to async operations
+- ✅ Migrated nftables-proxy filesystem operations to async (except stopSync for exit handlers)
+- ✅ All tests passing for new utilities
+
+### 6. Phase 2 Progress Status
+🔨 **Phase 2 IN PROGRESS** - Resource Lifecycle Management:
+- ✅ Created LifecycleComponent base class for automatic resource cleanup
+- ✅ Created BinaryHeap data structure for priority queue operations
+- ✅ Created EnhancedConnectionPool with backpressure and health checks
+- ✅ Cleaned up legacy code (removed ts/common/, event-utils.ts, event-system.ts)
+- 📋 TODO: Migrate existing components to extend LifecycleComponent
+- 📋 TODO: Add integration tests for resource management
+
+### 7. Next Steps (Remaining Work)
+- **Phase 2 (cont)**: Migrate components to use LifecycleComponent
+- **Phase 3**: Add worker threads for CPU-intensive operations  
+- **Phase 4**: Performance monitoring dashboard
+
+## Socket Error Handling Fix (v19.5.11+)
+
+### Issue
+Server crashed with unhandled 'error' event when backend connections failed (ECONNREFUSED). Also caused memory leak with rising active connection count as failed connections weren't cleaned up properly.
+
+### Root Cause
+1. **Race Condition**: In forwarding handlers, sockets were created with `net.connect()` but error handlers were attached later, creating a window where errors could crash the server
+2. **Incomplete Cleanup**: When server connections failed, client sockets weren't properly cleaned up, leaving connection records in memory
+
+### Solution
+Created `createSocketWithErrorHandler()` utility that attaches error handlers immediately:
+```typescript
+// Before (race condition):
+const socket = net.connect(port, host);
+// ... other code ...
+socket.on('error', handler); // Too late!
+
+// After (safe):
+const socket = createSocketWithErrorHandler({
+  port, host,
+  onError: (error) => {
+    // Handle error immediately
+    clientSocket.destroy();
+  },
+  onConnect: () => {
+    // Set up forwarding
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Changes Made
+1. **New Utility**: `ts/core/utils/socket-utils.ts` - Added `createSocketWithErrorHandler()`
+2. **Updated Handlers**:
+   - `https-passthrough-handler.ts` - Uses safe socket creation
+   - `https-terminate-to-http-handler.ts` - Uses safe socket creation
+3. **Connection Cleanup**: Client sockets destroyed immediately on server connection failure
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.socket-error-handling.node.ts` - Verifies server doesn't crash on ECONNREFUSED
+- `test/test.forwarding-error-fix.node.ts` - Tests forwarding handlers handle errors gracefully
+
+### Configuration
+No configuration changes needed. The fix is transparent to users.
+
+### Important Note
+The fix was applied in two places:
+1. **ForwardingHandler classes** (`https-passthrough-handler.ts`, etc.) - These are standalone forwarding utilities
+2. **SmartProxy route-connection-handler** (`route-connection-handler.ts`) - This is where the actual SmartProxy connection handling happens
+
+The critical fix for SmartProxy was in `setupDirectConnection()` method in route-connection-handler.ts, which now uses `createSocketWithErrorHandler()` to properly handle connection failures and clean up connection records.

-# SmartProxy Fully Unified Configuration Plan (Updated)
+# SmartProxy Socket Handling Fix Plan
 
-## Project Goal
-Redesign SmartProxy's configuration for a more elegant, unified, and comprehensible approach by:
-1. Creating a single, unified configuration model that covers both "where to listen" and "how to forward"
-2. Eliminating the confusion between domain configs and port forwarding
-3. Providing a clear, declarative API that makes the intent obvious
-4. Enhancing maintainability and extensibility for future features
-5. Completely removing legacy code to eliminate technical debt
+Reread CLAUDE.md file for guidelines
 
-## Current Issues
+## Implementation Summary (COMPLETED)
 
-The current approach has several issues:
+The critical socket handling issues have been fixed:
 
-1. **Dual Configuration Systems**:
-   - Port configuration (`fromPort`, `toPort`, `globalPortRanges`) for "where to listen"
-   - Domain configuration (`domainConfigs`) for "how to forward"
-   - Unclear relationship between these two systems
+1. **Prevented Server Crashes**: Created `createSocketWithErrorHandler()` utility that attaches error handlers immediately upon socket creation, preventing unhandled ECONNREFUSED errors from crashing the server.
 
-2. **Mixed Concerns**:
-   - Port management is mixed with forwarding logic
-   - Domain routing is separated from port listening
-   - Security settings defined in multiple places
+2. **Fixed Memory Leaks**: Updated forwarding handlers to properly clean up client sockets when server connections fail, ensuring connection records are removed from tracking.
 
-3. **Complex Logic**:
-   - PortRangeManager must coordinate with domain configuration
-   - Implicit rules for handling connections based on port and domain
+3. **Key Changes Made**:
+   - Added `createSocketWithErrorHandler()` in `socket-utils.ts`
+   - Updated `https-passthrough-handler.ts` to use safe socket creation
+   - Updated `https-terminate-to-http-handler.ts` to use safe socket creation
+   - Ensured client sockets are destroyed when server connections fail
+   - Connection cleanup now triggered by socket close events
 
-4. **Difficult to Understand and Configure**:
-   - Two separate configuration hierarchies that must work together
-   - Unclear which settings take precedence
+4. **Test Results**: Server no longer crashes on ECONNREFUSED errors, and connections are properly cleaned up.
 
-## Proposed Solution: Fully Unified Routing Configuration
+## Problem Summary
 
-Replace both port and domain configuration with a single, unified configuration:
+The SmartProxy server is experiencing critical issues:
+1. **Server crashes** due to unhandled socket connection errors (ECONNREFUSED)
+2. **Memory leak** with steadily rising active connection count
+3. **Race conditions** between socket creation and error handler attachment
+4. **Orphaned sockets** when server connections fail
 
+## Root Causes
+
+### 1. Delayed Error Handler Attachment
+- Sockets created without immediate error handlers
+- Error events can fire before handlers attached
+- Causes uncaught exceptions and server crashes
+
+### 2. Incomplete Cleanup Logic
+- Client sockets not cleaned up when server connection fails
+- Connection counter only decrements after BOTH sockets close
+- Failed server connections leave orphaned client sockets
+
+### 3. Missing Global Error Handlers
+- No process-level uncaughtException handler
+- No process-level unhandledRejection handler
+- Any unhandled error crashes entire server
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Prevent Server Crashes (Critical)
+
+#### 1.1 Add Global Error Handlers
+- [x] ~~Add global error handlers in main entry point~~ (Removed per user request - no global handlers)
+- [x] Log errors with context
+- [x] ~~Implement graceful shutdown sequence~~ (Removed - handled locally)
+
+#### 1.2 Fix Socket Creation Race Condition
+- [x] Modify socket creation to attach error handlers immediately
+- [x] Update all forwarding handlers (https-passthrough, http, etc.)
+- [x] Ensure error handlers attached in same tick as socket creation
+
+### Phase 2: Fix Memory Leaks (High Priority)
+
+#### 2.1 Fix Connection Cleanup Logic
+- [x] Clean up client socket immediately if server connection fails
+- [x] Decrement connection counter on any socket failure (handled by socket close events)
+- [x] Implement proper cleanup for half-open connections
+
+#### 2.2 Improve Socket Utils
+- [x] Create new utility function for safe socket creation with immediate error handling
+- [x] Update createIndependentSocketHandlers to handle immediate failures
+- [ ] Add connection tracking debug utilities
+
+### Phase 3: Comprehensive Testing (Important)
+
+#### 3.1 Create Test Cases
+- [x] Test ECONNREFUSED scenario
+- [ ] Test timeout handling
+- [ ] Test half-open connections
+- [ ] Test rapid connect/disconnect cycles
+
+#### 3.2 Add Monitoring
+- [ ] Add connection leak detection
+- [ ] Add metrics for connection lifecycle
+- [ ] Add debug logging for socket state transitions
+

+### Step 2: Safe Socket Creation Utility (ts/core/utils/socket-utils.ts)
+```typescript
+export function createSocketWithErrorHandler(
+  options: net.NetConnectOpts,
+  onError: (err: Error) => void
+): net.Socket {
+  const socket = net.connect(options);
+  socket.on('error', onError);
+  return socket;
 }
 ```
 
-## Revised Implementation Plan
+### Step 3: Fix HttpsPassthroughHandler (ts/forwarding/handlers/https-passthrough-handler.ts)
+- Replace direct socket creation with safe creation
+- Handle server connection failures immediately
+- Clean up client socket on server connection failure
 
-### Phase 1: Core Design & Interface Definition
+### Step 4: Fix Connection Counting
+- Decrement on ANY socket close, not just when both close
+- Track failed connections separately
+- Add connection state tracking
 
-1. **Define New Core Interfaces**:
-   - Create `IRouteConfig` interface with `match` and `action` branches
-   - Define all sub-interfaces for matching and actions
-   - Create new `ISmartProxyOptions` to use `routes` array exclusively
-   - Define template variable system for dynamic values
+### Step 5: Update All Handlers
+- [ ] https-passthrough-handler.ts
+- [ ] http-handler.ts
+- [ ] https-terminate-to-http-handler.ts
+- [ ] https-terminate-to-https-handler.ts
+- [ ] route-connection-handler.ts
 
-2. **Create Helper Functions**:
-   - `createRoute()` - Basic route creation with reasonable defaults
-   - `createHttpRoute()`, `createHttpsRoute()`, `createRedirect()` - Common scenarios
-   - `createLoadBalancer()` - For multi-target setups
-   - `mergeSecurity()`, `mergeDefaults()` - For combining configs
+## Success Criteria
 
-3. **Design Router**:
-   - Decision tree for route matching algorithm
-   - Priority system for route ordering
-   - Optimized lookup strategy for fast routing
+1. **No server crashes** on ECONNREFUSED or other socket errors
+2. **Active connections** remain stable (no steady increase)
+3. **All sockets** properly cleaned up on errors
+4. **Memory usage** remains stable under load
+5. **Graceful handling** of all error scenarios
 
-### Phase 2: Core Implementation
+## Testing Plan
 
-1. **Create RouteManager**:
-   - Build a new RouteManager to replace both PortRangeManager and DomainConfigManager
-   - Implement port and domain matching in one unified system
-   - Create efficient route lookup algorithms
+1. Simulate ECONNREFUSED by targeting closed ports
+2. Monitor active connection count over time
+3. Stress test with rapid connections
+4. Test with unreachable hosts
+5. Test with slow/timing out connections
 
-2. **Implement New ConnectionHandler**:
-   - Create a new ConnectionHandler built from scratch for routes
-   - Implement the routing logic with the new match/action pattern
-   - Support template processing for headers and other dynamic values
+## Rollback Plan
 
-3. **Implement New SmartProxy Core**:
-   - Create new SmartProxy implementation using routes exclusively
-   - Build network servers based on port specifications
-   - Manage TLS contexts and certificates
+If issues arise:
+1. Revert socket creation changes
+2. Keep global error handlers (they add safety)
+3. Add more detailed logging for debugging
+4. Implement fixes incrementally
 
-### Phase 3: Legacy Code Removal
+## Timeline
 
-1. **Identify Legacy Components**:
-   - Create an inventory of all files and components to be removed
-   - Document dependencies between legacy components
-   - Create a removal plan that minimizes disruption

+# SmartProxy Performance Issues Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+This report identifies performance issues and blocking operations in the SmartProxy codebase that could impact scalability and responsiveness under high load.
+
+## Critical Issues
+
+### 1. **Synchronous Filesystem Operations**
+These operations block the event loop and should be replaced with async alternatives:
+
+#### Certificate Management
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts:29`: `fs.existsSync()` 
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts:30`: `fs.mkdirSync()`
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts:49-50`: `fs.readFileSync()` for loading certificates
+
+#### NFTables Proxy
+- `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts`: Multiple uses of `execSync()` for system commands
+- `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts`: Multiple `fs.writeFileSync()` and `fs.unlinkSync()` operations
+
+#### Certificate Store
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:8`: `ensureDirSync()`
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:15,31,76`: `fileExistsSync()`
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:77`: `removeManySync()`
+
+### 2. **Event Loop Blocking Operations**
+
+#### Busy Wait Loop
+- `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts:235-238`: 
+  ```typescript
+  const waitUntil = Date.now() + retryDelayMs;
+  while (Date.now() < waitUntil) {
+    // busy wait - blocks event loop completely
+  }
+  ```
+  This is extremely problematic as it blocks the entire Node.js event loop.
+
+### 3. **Potential Memory Leaks**
+
+#### Timer Management Issues
+Several timers are created without proper cleanup:
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/function-cache.ts`: `setInterval()` without storing reference for cleanup
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/request-handler.ts`: `setInterval()` for rate limit cleanup without cleanup
+- `ts/core/utils/shared-security-manager.ts`: `cleanupInterval` stored but no cleanup method
+
+#### Event Listener Accumulation
+- Multiple instances of event listeners being added without corresponding cleanup
+- Connection handlers add listeners without always removing them on connection close
+
+### 4. **Connection Pool Management**
+
+#### ConnectionPool (ts/proxies/http-proxy/connection-pool.ts)
+**Good practices observed:**
+- Proper connection lifecycle management
+- Periodic cleanup of idle connections
+- Connection limits enforcement
+
+**Potential issues:**
+- No backpressure mechanism when pool is full
+- Synchronous sorting operation in `cleanupConnectionPool()` could be slow with many connections
+
+### 5. **Resource Management Issues**
+
+#### Socket Cleanup
+- Some error paths don't properly clean up sockets
+- Missing `removeAllListeners()` in some error scenarios could lead to memory leaks
+
+#### Timeout Management
+- Inconsistent timeout handling across different components
+- Some sockets created without timeout settings
+
+### 6. **JSON Operations on Large Objects**
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:21`: `JSON.parse()` on certificate metadata
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:71`: `JSON.stringify()` with pretty printing
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/function-cache.ts:76`: `JSON.stringify()` for cache keys (called frequently)
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate Actions (High Priority)
+
+1. **Replace Synchronous Operations**
+   ```typescript
+   // Instead of:
+   if (fs.existsSync(path)) { ... }
+   
+   // Use:
+   try {
+     await fs.promises.access(path);
+     // file exists
+   } catch {
+     // file doesn't exist
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Fix Busy Wait Loop**
+   ```typescript
+   // Instead of:
+   while (Date.now() < waitUntil) { }
+   
+   // Use:
+   await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, retryDelayMs));
+   ```
+
+3. **Add Timer Cleanup**
+   ```typescript
+   class Component {
+     private cleanupTimer?: NodeJS.Timeout;
+     
+     start() {
+       this.cleanupTimer = setInterval(() => { ... }, 60000);
+     }
+     
+     stop() {
+       if (this.cleanupTimer) {
+         clearInterval(this.cleanupTimer);
+         this.cleanupTimer = undefined;
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Medium Priority
+
+1. **Optimize JSON Operations**
+   - Cache JSON.stringify results for frequently used objects
+   - Consider using faster hashing for cache keys (e.g., crypto.createHash)
+   - Use streaming JSON parsers for large objects
+
+2. **Improve Connection Pool**
+   - Implement backpressure/queueing when pool is full
+   - Use a heap or priority queue for connection management instead of sorting
+
+3. **Standardize Resource Cleanup**
+   - Create a base class for components with lifecycle management
+   - Ensure all event listeners are removed on cleanup
+   - Add abort controllers for better cancellation support
+
+### Long-term Improvements
+
+1. **Worker Threads**
+   - Move CPU-intensive operations to worker threads
+   - Consider using worker pools for NFTables operations
+
+2. **Monitoring and Metrics**
+   - Add performance monitoring for event loop lag
+   - Track connection pool utilization
+   - Monitor memory usage patterns
+
+3. **Graceful Degradation**
+   - Implement circuit breakers for backend connections
+   - Add request queuing with overflow protection
+   - Implement adaptive timeout strategies
+
+## Impact Assessment
+
+These issues primarily affect:
+- **Scalability**: Blocking operations limit concurrent connection handling
+- **Responsiveness**: Event loop blocking causes latency spikes
+- **Stability**: Memory leaks could cause crashes under sustained load
+- **Resource Usage**: Inefficient resource management increases memory/CPU usage
+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+1. Load test with high connection counts (10k+ concurrent)
+2. Monitor event loop lag under stress
+3. Test long-running scenarios to detect memory leaks
+4. Benchmark with async vs sync operations to measure improvement
+
+## Conclusion
+
+While SmartProxy has good architectural design and many best practices, the identified blocking operations and resource management issues could significantly impact performance under high load. The most critical issues (busy wait loop and synchronous filesystem operations) should be addressed immediately.
