**Status:** COMPLETED  
**Commit:** `686fcd4` - fix: ensure signal handler thread safety with call_soon_threadsafe  
**Date:** November 2025  
**Details:**
- Signal handlers were directly calling `asyncio.Event.set()` from signal context

### ❌ Cancelled Tasks

#### ~~Task #6: Refactor Sender Classes~~
**Status:** CANCELLED  
**Commit:** `617c68b` - docs: document intentional Sender class duplication  
**Date:** November 17, 2025  
**Reason:**

The duplication of Sender classes across HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 is **intentional** and represents the correct design choice.

**Why Cancelled:**
- Each protocol uses fundamentally incompatible libraries (h11, h2, aioquic)
- APIs differ significantly (event-based vs stream-based vs QUIC-based)
- Only ~5% of code is actually shared
- Creating a base class would require:
  - Complex `isinstance()` checks
  - Leaky abstractions
  - Protocol-specific methods in base class
- Current approach: Clear, maintainable, protocol-specific code
- Follows principle: "Duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction"

**Documentation:**
- Added detailed docstrings to all three Sender implementations
- Explained design rationale in code comments
- Documented in commit message
