## 🔒 Security Enhancements (CRITICAL - COMPLETED)

### 1. Security Headers Middleware ✅

**File Created**: `app/middleware/security.py`

**Implementation**:
- OWASP-compliant security headers on ALL responses
- Headers added:
  - `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` ✅
  - `X-Frame-Options: DENY` ✅
  - `X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block` ✅
  - `Content-Security-Policy` (Scalar CDN whitelisted) ✅
  - `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin` ✅
  - `Permissions-Policy` (disables unused features) ✅
  - `Strict-Transport-Security` (production only) ✅

**Testing**: 11 comprehensive tests in `tests/test_middleware/test_security.py`

**Impact**: ✅ Resolved all missing security headers findings

### 2. Health Endpoint Security ✅

**File Modified**: `app/main.py` (lines 142-234)

**Implementation**:
- **Environment-Aware Detail Levels**:
  - Production: Minimal info (status + timestamp only)
  - Development: Full diagnostics (uptime, version, data counts)

- **Optional Basic Authentication**:
  - Configurable via `HEALTH_CHECK_AUTH_ENABLED`
  - Credentials in environment variables
  - 401 responses with proper WWW-Authenticate header

**Configuration** (in `app/settings.py`):
```python
health_check_detailed: bool = True  # False in production
health_check_auth_enabled: bool = False  # Enable for sensitive environments
health_check_username: str = "admin"
health_check_password: str = ""  # Set via env var
```

**Impact**: ✅ Resolved information disclosure vulnerability

### 3. Header Exposure Control ✅

**File Modified**: `app/middleware/metrics.py`

**Changes**:
- ❌ **Removed**: Automatic `X-Powered-By: Turkiye-API` header
- ✅ **Added**: Configurable `expose_server_header` setting (default: False)
- Security-first: No technology stack disclosure

**Configuration** (in `app/settings.py`):
```python
expose_server_header: bool = False  # Set to True only if needed
```

**Impact**: ✅ Eliminated technology stack exposure

---

## ⚡ Performance Optimizations (CRITICAL - COMPLETED)

### 1. Redis-Based Caching Service ✅

**File Created**: `app/services/cache_service.py`

**Features**:
- Automatic cache key generation from query parameters
- Configurable TTL (default: 30 minutes)
- Redis backend with graceful fallback
- Pattern-based cache invalidation
- Connection pooling and error handling

**Integration** (in `app/services/province_service.py`):
```python
# Cache check before query processing
cached_result = self.cache.get(cache_key)
if cached_result is not None:
    return cached_result

# ... process query ...

# Cache result before returning
self.cache.set(cache_key, provinces, ttl=1800)
```

**Configuration**:
```env
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
```

**Benefits**:
- ⚡ Reduced query processing time for repeated requests
- ⚡ Lower memory overhead (cached results vs reprocessing)
- ⚡ Scalable across multiple instances

**Impact**: ✅ Addressed performance concerns for high-traffic scenarios
