 2026-04-30 — Prevent X-Powered-By Header Leak on Unprotected Endpoints
 Learning: When using Express, disabling the `x-powered-by` header using `app.disable('x-powered-by')` at the application level prevents the framework from automatically setting the header. Endpoints declared above global security middlewares like `helmet()` (which normally strips this header) will inadvertently leak this header if it is not explicitly disabled globally. Disabling it also saves a small amount of CPU overhead across all requests.
 Action: Add `app.disable('x-powered-by')` near application initialization in `src/index.js` to guarantee the header is never generated, protecting routes that intentionally bypass global middleware for performance reasons.

+## 2026-05-02 — Cache CORS Preflight Requests
+
+Learning:
+Browser clients making cross-origin requests trigger a preflight OPTIONS request before every actual request unless cached. Without setting the `Access-Control-Max-Age` header, the Express gateway spends unnecessary CPU processing these identical preflight requests, leading to increased latency and load.
+
+Action:
+Configured the `cors` middleware in `src/index.js` with `maxAge: 86400` (24 hours) to instruct browsers to cache preflight OPTIONS responses, significantly reducing redundant network traffic and backend processing for repeated requests from the same client.

 Assessed JULES/BOLT's optimization fixing X-Powered-By header leak on bypassed endpoints. By globally disabling the 'x-powered-by' header via app.disable('x-powered-by'), endpoints like /health that are defined before global security middlewares (helmet) are protected from leaking the framework identifier. The change successfully improves security while saving CPU overhead. Ran tests and verified robustness. Zero dead code identified.
 Alignment / Deferred:
 Appended release notes for the security fix. Version bumped to 1.1.29.

+Assessed JULES/BOLT's optimization caching CORS preflight requests via the `maxAge: 86400` option in `src/index.js`. This avoids redundant backend parsing and significantly cuts request latency for browser clients. Tests updated to verify the `Access-Control-Max-Age` header, all passing with improved throughput metrics. Zero dead code identified or pruned.

+## [1.1.30] - 2026-05-02
+### Changed
+* **[Performance]:** Added `maxAge: 86400` to CORS options to cache preflight OPTIONS requests for 24 hours, reducing latency and backend load for browser clients. Zero dead code pruned.

 ## [1.1.29] - 2026-05-01
 ### Changed
 * **[Security & Performance]:** Fixed an issue where high-frequency endpoints bypassing global middlewares leaked the `X-Powered-By` framework identifier. Globally disabled the header during application initialization, successfully mitigating the leak and saving CPU overhead across all requests. Zero dead code was pruned.
