### Edge Cases
- [ ] Handles missing .claudeguard directory gracefully
- [ ] Handles corrupted profile files safely
- [ ] Handles permission denied errors appropriately
- [ ] Handles network issues during installation

## ⚠️ Critical Security Checks

Before publishing, manually verify these security-critical aspects:

1. **No credentials in code**: Search entire codebase for API keys, passwords, tokens
2. **Safe defaults**: Confirm fail-safe behavior defaults to "ask", never "allow"
3. **Input validation**: All user inputs properly validated and sanitized
4. **DoS protection**: Regex patterns have timeouts and complexity limits
5. **Path traversal**: File operations cannot escape intended directories
6. **Privilege escalation**: No operations run with elevated privileges unexpectedly
