Critical Security Findings (from Wave 100)

🔴 CRITICAL: Silent Audit Event Loss (CVSS 9.1)

Status: ✅ DOCUMENTED in Wave 100 report Location: audit_trails.rs:731-739 (background task) Impact: SOX Section 404 violation, MiFID II Article 25 violation Proposed Fix: Check pool availability BEFORE draining events

Test Coverage: ❌ NOT TESTED Recommendation: Add test for this scenario

🟠 HIGH: No Mandatory Pool Initialization Check

Status: ✅ DOCUMENTED in Wave 100 report Location: audit_trails.rs:550-567 Impact: Silent failure mode Proposed Fix: Add runtime check in log_event()

Test Coverage: ⚠️ PARTIALLY TESTED (error handling test exists) Recommendation: Add explicit test for uninitialized pool

🟡 MEDIUM: Incomplete Retention Management

Status: ✅ DOCUMENTED in Wave 100 report Location: audit_trails.rs:1076-1092 Impact: Cannot enforce 7-year SOX retention Proposed Fix: Implement atomic archive-then-delete

Test Coverage: ❌ NOT TESTED (0%) Recommendation: Add 5 retention tests (archive, delete, verify, edge cases)
