- [x] Set up trace logging for debugging
- [x] Executed core, settings, tasks, and monitoring tests
- [x] Monitoring test suite accessibility

**Status:** Tests running successfully (majority passing)

### ✅ TASK 3: User Management Discovery & Root Cause Analysis
- [x] Analyzed Phase 2.2 discovery document
- [x] Identified root cause: Synchronous SMTP blocking
- [x] Located exact code location (user_handler.go:462-469)
- [x] Designed async email solution
- [x] Documented remediation steps
- [x] Provided 2-3 hour effort estimate

**Status:** Root cause documented with solution ready

**Key Finding:**
```
InviteUser endpoint blocks indefinitely on SMTP email send
Solution: Implement async email with goroutine (non-blocking)
Impact: Fixes user management timeout issues
Timeline: 2-3 hours implementation time
```

### ✅ TASK 4: Security & Quality Checks
- [x] GORM Security Scanner: **PASSED** (0 critical/high issues)
- [x] Trivy Vulnerability Scan: **COMPLETED** (1 CRITICAL CVE identified)
- [x] Code quality verification: **PASSED** (0 application code issues)
- [x] Linting review: **READY** (modified files identified)

**Status:** Security assessment complete with actionable remediation

- Solution: Convert to async email with goroutine
- Status: Solution designed and documented

### 🟡 MEDIUM (Today)

**Test Authentication Issue (HTTP 401)**
- Impact: Mid-suite login failure affects test metrics
- Fix Time: 30 minutes
- Action: Add token refresh to test config
- Status: Straightforward middleware fix

## 🚀 Three Critical Actions Required

### Action 1️⃣: Update Vulnerable Dependencies (1 hour)
```bash
cd /projects/Charon/backend
go get -u golang.org/x/crypto@latest
go get -u golang.org/x/net@latest
go get -u golang.org/x/oauth2@latest
go get -u github.com/quic-go/quic-go@latest
go mod tidy

# Verify fix
trivy fs . --severity CRITICAL
```
**Timeline:** ASAP (before any production deployment)

### Action 2️⃣: Implement Async Email Sending (2-3 hours)
**Location:** `backend/internal/api/handlers/user_handler.go` lines 462-469

**Change:** Convert blocking `SendInvite()` to async goroutine
```go
// Before: HTTP request blocks on SMTP
SendInvite(user.Email, token, ...)  // ❌ Blocks 5-30+ seconds

// After: HTTP request returns immediately
go SendEmailAsync(user.Email, token, ...)  // ✅ Non-blocking
```
**Timeline:** Phase 2.3 (parallel task)

### Action 3️⃣: Fix Test Authentication (30 minutes)
**Issue:** Mid-suite login failure (HTTP 401)
**Fix:** Add token refresh to test setup
**Timeline:** Before Phase 3
