## Executive Summary

This PR extracts handler setup logic from `bootstrap.ts` into a dedicated `handler-setup.ts` module. The changes are primarily structural refactoring with no new external interfaces, user inputs, or security-sensitive operations introduced.

**Overall Assessment**: This is a low-risk refactoring PR. No security vulnerabilities were introduced in the changed lines.

---

## [RED CIRCLE] Issues in Your Changes (BLOCKING)

**None identified.**

The new code in `handler-setup.ts` does not introduce:
- New input validation surfaces
- External data handling
- Cryptographic operations
- Authentication/authorization logic
- File system operations
- Network operations
- Shell command execution

---

## [WARNING] Issues in Code You Touched (Should Fix)

### LOW

**Type Safety Weakness in getDependency()** - `/workspace/delegate/src/services/handler-setup.ts:72`

- **Context**: The `getDependency<T>()` function uses `as T` type assertion
- **Code**:
  ```typescript
  return ok(result.value as T);
  ```
- **Risk**: This is a TypeScript pattern issue, not a runtime security vulnerability. The container's `get()` method returns `unknown`, and the caller assumes the type matches. If a service is registered with incorrect type, this could cause runtime errors.
- **Severity**: LOW - This is consistent with the existing `getFromContainer<T>()` pattern in `bootstrap.ts` and is a design trade-off for type erasure in TypeScript. Not a security vulnerability, just a type safety observation.
- **Recommendation**: This pattern is acceptable for internal DI containers. The alternative (runtime type guards) would add complexity without security benefit.

---

### LOW

**Test File Accesses Internal Property** - `/workspace/delegate/tests/unit/services/handler-setup.test.ts:189`

- **Context**: Test accesses internal `handlers` property using `as any`
- **Code**:
  ```typescript
  const subscriptionCount = (eventBus as any).handlers?.size ?? 0;
  ```
- **Risk**: This is a test-only issue. Using `as any` to access private internals is a test smell, not a security issue.
- **Severity**: LOW - Confined to test code, no production impact
- **Recommendation**: Consider exposing a `getSubscriptionCount()` method or use a test-specific interface for better type safety in tests.

---

## [INFO] Pre-existing Issues Found (Not Blocking)

### MEDIUM (Pre-existing)

**Global Container Export** - `/workspace/delegate/src/core/container.ts:287`

- **Context**: The container module exports a `globalContainer` instance
- **Code**:
  ```typescript
  export const globalContainer = new Container();
  ```
- **Vulnerability**: Global state can be problematic for testing and could potentially be accessed/modified unexpectedly
- **Recommendation**: Consider removing the global export if unused, or document its intended use cases
- **Reason not blocking**: This existed before the PR and is not modified by this refactoring

---

### LOW (Pre-existing)

**Error Messages May Leak Internal Details** - `/workspace/delegate/src/services/handler-setup.ts:68-69` (pattern copied from existing code)

- **Context**: Error messages include service key names
- **Code**:
  ```typescript
  `Handler setup requires '${key}' service`,
  { service: key, error: result.error.message }
  ```
- **Risk**: Service key names are internal implementation details. In a production error response, this could reveal architecture information.
- **Severity**: LOW - This is internal bootstrap code, errors won't reach external users
- **Recommendation**: For external-facing error messages, use generic messages. This is acceptable for internal bootstrap failures.
- **Reason not blocking**: This follows the existing error message pattern in `bootstrap.ts`

---

## Positive Security Observations

1. **Result Pattern Maintained**: The new code consistently uses the Result type pattern, avoiding unhandled exceptions and maintaining predictable error flow.

2. **Immutable Interface**: `HandlerDependencies` uses `readonly` modifiers, preventing accidental mutation:
   ```typescript
   export interface HandlerDependencies {
     readonly config: Configuration;
     readonly logger: Logger;
     // ... all readonly
   }
   ```

3. **Proper Cleanup on Failure**: The `setupEventHandlers()` function properly cleans up partially initialized handlers if setup fails:
   ```typescript
   if (!initResult.ok) {
     await registry.shutdown();  // Cleanup before returning error
     return err(...);
   }
   ```

4. **No New External Interfaces**: This refactoring does not introduce any new entry points, APIs, or user-facing functionality.

5. **Type-Safe Dependency Extraction**: Dependencies are explicitly typed through the `HandlerDependencies` interface, making requirements clear and compile-time verifiable.

6. **Fail-Fast Pattern**: The dependency extraction fails immediately on first missing service, preventing partial initialization:
   ```typescript
   const configResult = getDependency<Configuration>(container, 'config');
   if (!configResult.ok) return configResult;  // Fail fast
   ```

## Summary

**Your Changes:**
- [RED CIRCLE] CRITICAL: 0
- [RED CIRCLE] HIGH: 0
- [RED CIRCLE] MEDIUM: 0
- [RED CIRCLE] LOW: 0

**Code You Touched:**
- [WARNING] HIGH: 0
- [WARNING] MEDIUM: 0
- [WARNING] LOW: 2 (type safety observations, not vulnerabilities)

**Pre-existing:**
- [INFO] MEDIUM: 1 (global container export)
- [INFO] LOW: 1 (error message verbosity)

**Security Score**: 9/10

The deducted point is for the pre-existing global container pattern and minor type assertion usage, neither of which are security vulnerabilities.

**Merge Recommendation**: **APPROVED**

This is a clean refactoring PR that:
- Moves code without changing behavior
- Maintains existing security patterns
- Introduces no new attack surfaces
- Properly handles errors and cleanup
- Uses immutable interfaces for dependency passing

---

## Remediation Priority

**Fix before merge:**
- None required

**Fix while you're here:**
- None required (LOW items are acceptable patterns)

**Future work:**
- Consider removing `globalContainer` export if unused
- Consider adding subscription count accessor to EventBus for cleaner test assertions
