 **Implementation Risk:** Low. Adds user feedback for misconfiguration.
 
+### 25. ✅ FIXED — Discarded Me() Errors in Reaction Handlers
+`internal/ui/chat/state.go` -- Reaction event handlers (`onMessageReactionAdd`, `onMessageReactionRemove`) called `Me()` and discarded the error, risking nil-pointer panics if the cabinet state was not ready.
+
+**Fix:** Added nil guards and error documentation for all `Me()` call sites in reaction handlers.
+
+---
+
+### 26. ✅ FIXED — Discarded Me() Errors in message_input.go
+`internal/ui/chat/message_input.go` -- Additional `Me()` calls with discarded errors in message composition paths, separate from finding #8.
+
+**Fix:** Added nil guards with early returns to prevent nil-pointer panics.
+
+---
+
+### 27. ✅ FIXED — emojiFavorites.save() Holds RLock During Write
+`internal/ui/chat/emoji_picker.go` -- The `save()` method internally acquired a read lock (`RLock`) but performed a write operation (JSON marshal + file write), creating a lock-type mismatch. Callers holding the write lock would deadlock.
+
+**Fix:** Refactored to caller-must-hold-lock pattern. `save()` no longer acquires its own lock; callers hold the write lock through the entire read-modify-save cycle.
+
+---
+
+### 28. ✅ FIXED — guildState.save() Double-Lock
+`internal/ui/chat/guildstate.go` -- The `save()` method acquired the mutex internally, but some callers already held the lock, creating a potential double-lock deadlock with `sync.Mutex` (non-reentrant in Go).
+
+**Fix:** Removed the internal lock acquisition from `save()`. All callers now hold the lock before calling save.
+
+---
+
+### 29. ✅ FIXED — Inconsistent Picker Close/Browse Reset
+`internal/ui/chat/emoji_picker.go`, `search_picker.go`, `channels_picker.go` -- Different picker types handled close and browse-mode reset inconsistently. Some reset browse state on close, others did not.
+
+**Fix:** Added comments explaining the intentional differences between picker close behaviors. Each picker's reset logic is appropriate for its use case (e.g., emoji picker preserves category state).
+
+---
+
+### 30. ✅ FIXED — attachmentsPicker Shared Helpers
+`internal/ui/chat/attachments_picker.go` -- The attachments picker duplicated help text formatting logic that could use shared picker helpers.
+
+**Fix:** Updated to use `pickerShortHelp` and `pickerFullHelp` shared helpers from `util.go`.
+
+---
+
+### 31. ✅ FIXED — Repeated Me() Calls in Help
+`internal/ui/chat/messages_list.go` -- Help text generation called `Me()` on every render frame to determine user-specific help entries.
+
+**Fix:** Cached help data to avoid repeated `Me()` calls during help rendering.
+
+---
+
+### 32. ✅ FIXED — atomicSaveJSON Temp File Cleanup
+`internal/ui/chat/guildstate.go`, `emoji_picker.go` -- The atomic save pattern (write temp + rename) did not clean up the temp file on rename failure, leaving orphaned `.tmp` files.
+
+**Fix:** Added `os.Remove(tmp)` on rename failure to clean up temp files.
+
+---
+
+### 33. ✅ FIXED — New Files Missing Documentation
+`internal/ui/chat/emoji_picker.go`, `search_picker.go`, `user_info.go`, `command_input.go` -- Newly added files lacked package-level and function-level doc comments.
+
+**Fix:** Added doc comments to all exported and significant unexported functions in new files.
+
+---
+
+### 34. ✅ FIXED — pickerBrowseHandleKey Undocumented
+`internal/ui/chat/util.go` -- The `pickerBrowseHandleKey` function handled browse-mode keybinds (j/k/g/G/i) for overlay pickers but had no doc comment explaining the mode or keybind semantics.
+
+**Fix:** Expanded doc comment explaining browse mode, supported keys, and how it integrates with picker focus.
+
+---
+
+### 35. ✅ FIXED — Reaction Event Handlers Mutate In-Place
+`internal/ui/chat/state.go` -- Reaction add/remove handlers mutated the cached message's `Reactions` slice in place rather than creating a copy. While safe in the current single-threaded event loop, this pattern is fragile.
+
+**Fix:** Documented the in-place mutation pattern with comments explaining why it is safe (all mutations occur on the UI goroutine via `HandleEvent`).

 `internal/ui/chat/guilds_tree.go:134-145` -- `canCollapseParent` is called from both `ShortHelp()` and `FullHelp()`, which run on every draw cycle to update the help bar. Each call invokes `gt.GetPath(node)` which walks the tree. Combined with `ShortHelp` and `FullHelp` duplicating the node-state checks, the help bar triggers 2+ tree walks per render frame.

The goldmark parser is invoked twice on the same content. For messages with complex markdown, this is measurable.

-`cmd/root.go:31` -- When `--log-level=debug` is passed, `ws.EnableRawEvents = true` is set globally on the arikawa WebSocket library. This causes raw gateway event data to be processed and potentially logged. While the current `onRaw` handler in `state.go:24-31` only logs the event code and type (not the raw data -- the `event.Raw` line is commented out), the `EnableRawEvents` flag is a global setting that could be picked up by other arikawa internals or future code changes. Raw gateway events may contain user tokens in initial payloads, private message content, and other sensitive data. The log file is written with world-readable permissions (finding #3).

 ## Top 3 Priorities
 1. ✅ **Path traversal via attachment filenames** (#1) -- Fixed with `filepath.Base` sanitization.
 2. ✅ **File permission hardening** (#3) -- Fixed with 0700/0600 permissions.
 3. ✅ **Editor command injection** (#2) -- Fixed by replacing `sh -c` with direct `exec.Command` + `strings.Fields`.
 
-Remaining: SEC #7 (raw events in debug) — low risk, the raw data line is already commented out.
+All actionable findings are now resolved. Only informational items (#16-#18) remain, which require no action.
 
 ## Positive Observations
 - Token storage via OS keyring (zalando/go-keyring) is the correct default approach, avoiding plaintext token storage

 **Fix:** Pin the CI Go version to `go-version: "1.26"` (or `"1.26.x"` to allow patch updates). This makes toolchain upgrades explicit and reviewable. Update the pin when upgrading is intentional.

 `go.mod` — Both `diamondburned/arikawa/v3` and `diamondburned/ningen/v3` are pinned to pre-release pseudo-versions (commit hashes, not semver tags). This is necessary because the upstream does not publish stable semver tags frequently. However, it means dependency updates are entirely manual and opaque — there is no conventional way to check for "newer versions" using `go list -m` or Dependabot, since these are pseudo-versions.
 
 The go.mod also contains commented-out replace directives pointing to local sibling directories (`../tview`, `../arikawa`), which suggests the development workflow sometimes involves local patches to these dependencies. This is functional but should be documented explicitly to avoid confusion for future contributors.
