  - Test reentrancy attacks

### 2. Testing ✅ REQUIRED
- [ ] **Test Coverage**: Achieve 80%+ coverage
  - All adapters tested
  - All guards tested
  - All critical paths tested
  
- [ ] **Fork Testing**: Test on mainnet fork
  - Test all strategies on fork
  - Verify gas estimates
  - Test edge cases
  
- [ ] **Load Testing**: Test under load
  - Multiple concurrent executions
  - Large batch sizes
  - High gas usage scenarios

### 3. Configuration ✅ REQUIRED
- [ ] **Address Verification**: Verify all protocol addresses
  - Cross-reference with official docs
  - Test each address on target chain
  - Document address sources
  
- [ ] **Environment Setup**: Configure production environment
  - Set up RPC endpoints (multiple providers)
  - Configure private keys (use hardware wallet)
  - Set up monitoring endpoints
  
- [ ] **Multi-Sig Setup**: Use multi-sig for executor ownership
  - Minimum 3-of-5 signers
  - Separate signers for different functions
  - Emergency pause capability

## Deployment Strategy

### Phase 1: Testnet Deployment
1. Deploy to testnet (Sepolia, Goerli, etc.)
2. Run full test suite on testnet
3. Test all strategies
4. Monitor for 48 hours

### Phase 2: Mainnet Deployment (Limited)
1. Deploy executor contract
2. Configure with minimal allow-list
3. Test with small amounts (< $100)
4. Monitor for 24 hours
5. Gradually increase limits

### Phase 3: Full Production
1. Expand allow-list
2. Increase position limits
3. Enable all features
4. Monitor continuously

## Monitoring & Alerting

### Critical Alerts
- [ ] **Transaction Failures**: Alert on > 5% failure rate
- [ ] **Guard Failures**: Alert on any guard failure
- [ ] **Gas Usage**: Alert on gas > 80% of block limit
- [ ] **Price Oracle Staleness**: Alert on stale prices
- [ ] **Health Factor Drops**: Alert on HF < 1.1

### Operational Alerts
- [ ] **RPC Provider Issues**: Alert on connection failures
- [ ] **High Slippage**: Alert on slippage > 1%
- [ ] **Unusual Activity**: Alert on unexpected patterns

## Operational Procedures

### Emergency Procedures
1. **Pause Executor**: Owner can pause immediately
2. **Revoke Allow-List**: Remove problematic addresses
3. **Emergency Withdraw**: Recover funds if needed
4. **Incident Response**: Documented response plan

### Regular Maintenance
