## Excellent Practices Identified

### 1. Security Architecture ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

**Hosted Mode Security** (`projects.py:74-78`):
```python
# EXCELLENT: Prevents local filesystem access in SaaS mode
if is_hosted_mode() and request.source_type == SourceType.LOCAL_PATH:
    raise HTTPException(
        status_code=403, detail="source_type='local_path' not available in hosted mode"
    )
```
**Why This is Excellent**: Implements defense-in-depth by preventing directory traversal attacks in hosted environments.

**Database Error Handling** (`projects.py:84-87`):
```python
try:
    existing_projects = db.list_projects()
except sqlite3.Error as e:
    logger.error(f"Database error listing projects: {str(e)}")
    raise HTTPException(
        status_code=500, detail="Database error occurred. Please try again later."
    )
```
**Why This is Excellent**: Prevents information disclosure by returning generic error messages to users while logging details internally.

### 2. Clean Architecture ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

**Dependency Injection Pattern** (`dependencies.py`):
```python
def get_db(request: Request) -> Database:
    """Get database connection from application state."""
    return request.app.state.db
```
**Why This is Excellent**: Centralized dependency management prevents tight coupling and makes testing easier.

**Shared State Pattern** (`shared.py`):
```python
# Prevents circular imports by centralizing shared state
manager = ConnectionManager()
running_agents: Dict[int, LeadAgent] = {}
review_cache: Dict[int, dict] = {}
```
**Why This is Excellent**: Solves the circular import problem elegantly while maintaining type safety.

### 3. Reliability Patterns ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

**Idempotent Operations** (`agents.py:65-70`):
```python
if project["status"] == ProjectStatus.RUNNING.value:
    return JSONResponse(
        status_code=200,
        content={"message": f"Project {project_id} is already running", "status": "running"},
    )
```
**Why This is Excellent**: Prevents duplicate agent creation on repeated requests.

**Background Tasks for Async Ops** (`agents.py:78`):
```python
background_tasks.add_task(start_agent, project_id, db, running_agents, api_key)
return {"message": f"Starting Lead Agent for project {project_id}", "status": "starting"}
```
**Why This is Excellent**: Returns 202 Accepted immediately, preventing client timeouts.

### 4. Access Control ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

**Project Existence Validation** (`agents.py:60-63`):
```python
project = db.get_project(project_id)
if not project:
    raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail=f"Project {project_id} not found")
```
**Why This is Excellent**: Prevents unauthorized access by validating project existence before operations.

## Priority 2 Issues (Should Fix - Non-Blocking)

### Issue 1: Silent Exception Swallowing in WebSocket Broadcast
**Location**: `shared.py:34-36`  
**Severity**: Priority 2 (Operational Excellence)  
**OWASP Category**: A09 - Security Logging Failures

**Current Code**:
```python
async def broadcast(self, message: dict):
    """Broadcast message to all connected clients."""
    for connection in self.active_connections:
        try:
            await connection.send_json(message)
        except Exception:
            # Client disconnected
            pass
```

**Issue**: Silent exception handling makes debugging WebSocket issues difficult in production.

**Recommended Fix**:
```python
async def broadcast(self, message: dict):
    """Broadcast message to all connected clients."""
    for connection in self.active_connections:
        try:
            await connection.send_json(message)
        except Exception as e:
            logger.debug(f"WebSocket broadcast failed (likely client disconnect): {type(e).__name__}")
            # Client disconnected - this is expected behavior
            pass
```

**Impact**: Improves observability without changing functionality.

---

### Issue 2: Generic Exception Handling Without Logging
**Location**: `shared.py:119-121`  
**Severity**: Priority 2 (Operational Excellence)  
**OWASP Category**: A09 - Security Logging Failures

**Current Code**:
```python
except Exception:
    # Log error but let it propagate
    raise
```

**Issue**: Comment says "log error" but no logging occurs.

**Recommended Fix**:
```python
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(f"Failed to start agent for project {project_id}: {type(e).__name__} - {str(e)}")
    raise
```

**Impact**: Better error tracking and debugging in production.

---

### Issue 3: Debug Print Statements in Production Code
**Location**: `server.py:141-143`  
**Severity**: Priority 3 (Code Quality)  
**OWASP Category**: A05 - Security Misconfiguration

**Current Code**:
```python
print("🔒 CORS Configuration:")
print(f"   CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS env: {cors_origins_env!r}")
print(f"   Parsed allowed origins: {allowed_origins}")
```

**Issue**: Using `print()` instead of proper logging bypasses log levels and structured logging.

**Recommended Fix**:
```python
logger.info("🔒 CORS Configuration:")
logger.info(f"   CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS env: {cors_origins_env!r}")
logger.info(f"   Parsed allowed origins: {allowed_origins}")
```

**Impact**: Better integration with logging infrastructure.

---

### Issue 4: Missing Audit Logging for Security-Sensitive Operations
**Location**: `projects.py:74-78`  
**Severity**: Priority 2 (Security Audit Trail)  
**OWASP Category**: A09 - Security Logging Failures

**Current Code**:
```python
if is_hosted_mode() and request.source_type == SourceType.LOCAL_PATH:
    raise HTTPException(
        status_code=403, detail="source_type='local_path' not available in hosted mode"
    )
```

**Issue**: Security policy enforcement should be audited for compliance.

**Recommended Fix**:
```python
if is_hosted_mode() and request.source_type == SourceType.LOCAL_PATH:
    logger.warning(
        f"Blocked local_path access attempt in hosted mode",
        extra={"request_data": request.dict(), "violation": "hosted_mode_restriction"}
    )
    raise HTTPException(
        status_code=403, detail="source_type='local_path' not available in hosted mode"
    )
```

**Impact**: Enables security monitoring and compliance auditing.

## Architecture Review

### Strengths
1. **No Circular Imports**: Shared state pattern (`shared.py`) eliminates circular dependencies
2. **Proper Separation of Concerns**: Each router handles a single domain (agents, projects, etc.)
3. **Consistent Dependency Injection**: All routers use `Depends(get_db)` and `Depends(get_workspace_manager)`
4. **Type Safety**: Full type hints throughout all routers
5. **Backward Compatibility**: 100% API contract preservation (no breaking changes)
