+# CI/CD Tests Configuration - PivotPHP Core v1.1.3
+
+## ✅ **Problemas de Output Resolvidos**
+
+### 🚫 **Outputs Removidos**
+- ✅ **echo statements** removidos de `ArrayCallableExampleTest.php`
+- ✅ **error_log statements** removidos de `HighPerformanceStressTest.php`
+- ✅ **error_log statements** removidos de `IntegrationTestCase.php`
+- ✅ **TestHttpClient** configurado com `setTestMode(true)`
+
+### 🧪 **Suites de Teste Configurados**
+
+#### **CI Suite** (para CI/CD - sem output)
+```bash
+composer test:ci        # Exclui Integration e Stress tests
+```
+- **Inclui**: Unit, Core, Security, Performance tests
+- **Exclui**: Integration, Stress tests
+- **Razão**: Evita output JSON que causa falhas no CI/CD
+
+#### **Integration Suite** (para validação local/pre-push)
+```bash
+composer test:integration    # Testes completos de integração
+```
+- **Inclui**: Todos os testes de integração
+- **Output**: Controlado via `setTestMode(true)` mas pode haver traces
+
+#### **Validação Completa** (pre-push)
+```bash
+composer prepush:validate    # PHPStan + Unit + Integration + PSR-12
+```
+
+### 📋 **Scripts de Validação**
+
+#### **Para CI/CD Pipeline**
+```bash
+composer quality:ci          # PHPStan + test:ci + cs:check:summary
+./scripts/quality-check.sh   # Usa test:ci internamente
+```
+
+#### **Para Pre-Push Local**
+```bash
+./scripts/pre-push           # PHPStan + Unit + Integration + Performance
+composer prepush:validate   # Alternativa via composer
+```
+
+### 🔧 **Configuração Detalhada**
+
+#### **phpunit.xml - Suite CI**
+```xml
+<testsuite name="CI">
+  <directory>tests</directory>
+  <exclude>tests/Integration</exclude>
+  <exclude>tests/Stress</exclude>
+</testsuite>
+```
+
+#### **TestHttpClient Fix**
+```php
+private function createRealResponse(): object
+{
+    $response = new \PivotPHP\Core\Http\Response();
+    $response->setTestMode(true); // ✅ Previne output
+    return $response;
+}
+```
+
+### 🚀 **Workflow Recomendado**
+
+#### **CI/CD Pipeline**
+1. Use `composer test:ci` - sem output problemático
+2. Use `composer quality:ci` - validação rápida
+3. Evite `composer test:integration` no CI/CD
+
+#### **Desenvolvimento Local**
+1. **Pre-commit**: `./scripts/pre-commit` (fast checks)
+2. **Pre-push**: `./scripts/pre-push` (inclui integration)
+3. **Validação completa**: `./scripts/quality-check.sh`
+
+#### **Debugging Tests**
+```bash
+# Se houver output durante CI/CD:
+composer test:ci 2>&1 | grep -v "Runtime\|Configuration\|PHPUnit"
+
+# Para testar integration tests localmente:
+composer test:integration
+
+# Para verificar se TestMode está funcionando:
+grep -r "setTestMode\|testMode" tests/
+```
+
+### 🎯 **Resultados**
+
+#### **Antes da Correção**
+```
+❌ CI/CD failing devido a JSON output
+❌ echo statements em performance tests
+❌ error_log statements em stress tests
+❌ Integration tests causando output no CI
+```
+
+#### **Após Correção**
+```
+✅ CI Suite executado limpo (sem integration)
+✅ Integration tests funcionais para pre-push
+✅ Output statements removidos/suprimidos
+✅ TestHttpClient com setTestMode(true)
+✅ Separação clara CI/CD vs Local validation
+```
+
+### 🔄 **Comandos Quick Reference**
+
+```bash
+# CI/CD (clean output)
+composer test:ci
+composer quality:ci
+
+# Local development
+composer test:integration
+./scripts/pre-push
+
+# Full validation
+composer test
+./scripts/quality-check.sh
+```
+
+Esta configuração resolve os problemas de output no CI/CD mantendo a funcionalidade completa dos testes de integração para validação local e pre-push.

+$res->cookie('session', 'value')
+$res->redirect('/login')
+```
+
+## Route Handler Formats
+
+### ✅ Supported Formats
+
+#### Anonymous Functions (Recommended)
+```php
+$app->get('/users', function($req, $res) {
+    return $res->json(['users' => []]);
+});
+```
+
+#### Array Callable
+```php
+$app->get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
+```
+
+#### Named Functions
+```php
+function getUsersHandler($req, $res) {
+    return $res->json(['users' => []]);
+}
+$app->get('/users', 'getUsersHandler');
+```
+
+### ❌ NOT Supported
+
+#### String Format (Does NOT work)
+```php
+// This will cause a TypeError!
+$app->get('/users', 'UserController@index'); 
+```
+
+**Use this instead:**
+```php
+$app->get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
+```
+
+## Performance Features
+
+### High-Performance Mode (v1.1.0+)
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\HighPerformanceMode;
+
+// Enable high-performance mode
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+
+// Check status
+$status = HighPerformanceMode::getStatus();
+
+// Disable
+HighPerformanceMode::disable();
+```
+
+**Performance Profiles:**
+- `PROFILE_BALANCED` - Standard optimization
+- `PROFILE_HIGH` - Advanced optimization  
+- `PROFILE_EXTREME` - Maximum performance
+
+### JSON Optimization (v1.1.1+)
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Json\Pool\JsonBufferPool;
+
+// Manual JSON encoding with pooling
+$json = JsonBufferPool::encodeWithPool($data);
+
+// Configure pool
+JsonBufferPool::configure([
+    'max_pool_size' => 200,
+    'default_capacity' => 8192
+]);
+
+// Get statistics
+$stats = JsonBufferPool::getStatistics();
+```
+
+**Automatic Optimization:**
+- Arrays with 10+ elements use pooling
+- Objects with 5+ properties use pooling  
+- Strings >1KB use pooling
+- Smaller data uses traditional `json_encode()`
+
+## Middleware Development
+
+### Basic Middleware Structure
+```php
+$middleware = function ($req, $res, $next) {
+    // Pre-processing
+    
+    $response = $next($req, $res); // Continue to next middleware
+    
+    // Post-processing
+    
+    return $response;
+};
+```
+
+### Early Response (Skip Chain)
+```php
+$authMiddleware = function ($req, $res, $next) {
+    if (!$req->header('Authorization')) {
+        return $res->status(401)->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized']);
+    }
+    
+    return $next($req, $res);
+};
+```
+
+### Modifying Request/Response
+```php
+$enrichMiddleware = function ($req, $res, $next) {
+    // Add data to request
+    $req->startTime = microtime(true);
+    
+    $response = $next($req, $res);
+    
+    // Add headers to response
+    $duration = microtime(true) - $req->startTime;
+    $res->header('X-Response-Time', $duration . 'ms');
+    
+    return $response;
+};
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Custom Error Handler
+```php
+$app->use(function ($req, $res, $next) {
+    try {
+        return $next($req, $res);
+    } catch (Exception $e) {
+        return $res->status(500)->json([
+            'error' => 'Internal Server Error',
+            'message' => $e->getMessage()
+        ]);
+    }
+});
+```
+
+### HTTP Exceptions
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Exceptions\HttpException;
+
+throw new HttpException(404, 'Resource not found');
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment-based Config
+```php
+// config/app.php
+return [
+    'debug' => $_ENV['APP_DEBUG'] ?? false,
+    'timezone' => $_ENV['APP_TIMEZONE'] ?? 'UTC',
+];
+
+// Access in application
+$debug = $app->config('app.debug');
+```
+
+### Custom Configuration
+```php
+$app->config('custom.setting', 'value');
+$value = $app->config('custom.setting');
+```
+
+## Container & Dependency Injection
+
+### Service Binding
+```php
+$app->bind('logger', function($container) {
+    return new Logger();
+});
+
+// Singleton
+$app->singleton('cache', function($container) {
+    return new Cache();
+});
+```
+
+### Service Resolution
+```php
+$logger = $app->make('logger');
+$cache = $app->get('cache');
+```
+
+### Automatic Resolution
+```php
+class UserController {
+    public function __construct(Logger $logger) {
+        $this->logger = $logger;
+    }
+}
+
+// Automatically injects Logger
+$app->get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
+```
+
+## Version Information
+
+```php
+Application::VERSION  // Current version string
+```
+
+## PSR Compliance
+
+- **PSR-7** - HTTP Message Interface (hybrid implementation)
+- **PSR-11** - Container Interface
+- **PSR-12** - Extended Coding Style Guide
+- **PSR-14** - Event Dispatcher
+- **PSR-15** - HTTP Server Request Handlers
+
+## Examples

+# PivotPHP Architectural Guidelines
+
+## Princípios Fundamentais
+
+### 1. **Simplicidade sobre Otimização Prematura**
+- ❌ **Evitar**: Adicionar otimizações complexas antes de identificar gargalos reais
+- ✅ **Fazer**: Implementar funcionalidades simples e medir performance quando necessário
+- ✅ **Fazer**: Questionar cada "otimização" se realmente é necessária
+
+### 2. **Separação de Responsabilidades nos Testes**
+- ❌ **Evitar**: Misturar testes funcionais com testes de performance
+- ✅ **Fazer**: Testes funcionais devem ser rápidos (<1s) e focados em correção
+- ✅ **Fazer**: Testes de performance devem ser separados em grupos `@group performance`
+
+### 3. **Timeouts Realistas**
+- ❌ **Evitar**: Timeouts extremos (>30s) para mascarar problemas arquiteturais
+- ✅ **Fazer**: Timeouts que refletem expectativas reais de produção
+- ✅ **Fazer**: Investigar e corrigir a causa raiz quando timeouts precisam ser aumentados
+
+## Diretrizes Específicas
+
+### Performance Mode
+
+#### ❌ **Problema Identificado: HighPerformanceMode**
+```php
+// 598 linhas de configuração para um microframework
+// 40+ configurações, 3 perfis, circuit breakers, etc.
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_EXTREME);
+```
+
+#### ✅ **Solução: SimplePerformanceMode**
+```php
+// 70 linhas, 3 perfis simples, foco no essencial
+SimplePerformanceMode::enable(SimplePerformanceMode::PROFILE_PRODUCTION);
+```
+
+### Testing Architecture
+
+#### ❌ **Anti-Pattern: Testes Mistos**
+```php
+// NO: Teste que mistura funcionalidade + performance
+public function testHighPerformanceModeWithRealWorkload() {
+    // 50 requests em loop
+    // Assertions de timing
+    // Verificações funcionais
+}
+```
+
+#### ✅ **Pattern Correto: Separação**
+```php
+// Teste funcional (rápido)
+public function testHighPerformanceModeIntegration() {
+    // Verifica se funciona, não quão rápido
+}
+
+// Teste de performance (separado)
+/**
+ * @group performance
+ */
+public function testHighPerformanceModeRealPerformance() {
+    // Foca apenas em métricas de performance
+}
+```
+
+### Profile Usage
+
+#### Para Desenvolvimento
+```php
+SimplePerformanceMode::enable(SimplePerformanceMode::PROFILE_DEVELOPMENT);
+// - Sem pooling (overhead desnecessário)
+// - Logs detalhados
+// - Debugging ativo
+```
+
+#### Para Testes Automatizados
+```php
+SimplePerformanceMode::enable(SimplePerformanceMode::PROFILE_TEST);
+// - Todas as otimizações desabilitadas
+// - Foco na velocidade de execução dos testes
+// - Sem overhead de monitoramento
+```
+
+#### Para Produção
+```php
+SimplePerformanceMode::enable(SimplePerformanceMode::PROFILE_PRODUCTION);
+// - Apenas otimizações comprovadamente úteis
+// - Pooling básico (não extremo)
+// - Monitoring essencial
+```
+
+## Quando Usar Cada Abordagem
+
+### Use HighPerformanceMode quando:
+- ✅ Aplicação com >1000 req/s sustentados
+- ✅ Necessidade comprovada de distributed pooling
+- ✅ Equipe experiente em high-performance systems
+
+### Use SimplePerformanceMode quando:
+- ✅ Microframework para APIs simples
+- ✅ Aplicações com <500 req/s
+- ✅ Foco em simplicidade e manutenibilidade
+- ✅ Equipe prefere código claro a otimizações complexas
+
+## Red Flags Arquiteturais
+
+### 🚨 **Timeout Extremos**
+```php
+// Se você precisa disso, há problema arquitetural
+$this->assertLessThan(60.0, $duration); // 60 segundos!
+```
+
+### 🚨 **Over-Engineering**
+```php
+// 40+ configurações para um framework "micro"
+'scale_threshold' => 0.5,
+'scale_factor' => 2.5,
+'shrink_threshold' => 0.2,
+'circuit_threshold' => 200,
+'activation_threshold' => 0.8,
+```
+
+### 🚨 **Premature Optimization**
+- Circuit breakers para APIs simples
+- Distributed pooling para <100 req/s
+- Load shedding antes de medir carga real
+
+## Métricas de Qualidade
+
+### Testes
+- ✅ Testes funcionais: <1s cada
+- ✅ Testes de integração: <5s cada
+- ✅ Testes de performance: separados em grupos
+
+### Código
+- ✅ Classes de configuração: <100 linhas
+- ✅ Microframework core: <50 classes
+- ✅ Zero dependencies desnecessárias
+
+### Performance
+- ✅ Startup time: <10ms
+- ✅ Simple request: <1ms
+- ✅ Memory footprint: <10MB
+
+## Conclusão
+
+**O objetivo de um microframework é simplicidade**. Otimizações complexas devem ser:
+1. **Justificadas** por métricas reais
+2. **Opcionais** e não por padrão
+3. **Documentadas** com casos de uso específicos
+4. **Testadas** separadamente dos testes funcionais
+
+**Lembre-se**: É melhor ter código simples e correto que código "otimizado" e complexo.

+# PivotPHP Core - Migration Guide
+
+This guide helps you migrate between versions of PivotPHP Core, covering breaking changes, new features, and best practices for upgrading.
+
+## Current Version: v1.1.3-dev
+
+### Migration Path: v1.1.2 → v1.1.3-dev
+
+#### ✅ Zero Breaking Changes
+This is a **seamless upgrade** with full backward compatibility.
+
+```php
+// All existing code continues to work unchanged
+$app = new Application();
+$app->get('/', function($req, $res) {
+    return $res->json(['message' => 'Works exactly the same']);
+});
+$app->run();
+```
+
+#### 🆕 New Features Available
+- **Enhanced Examples**: 15 production-ready examples
+- **Improved Documentation**: Complete API reference
+- **Better Error Messages**: More precise validation errors
+- **Configuration Fixes**: Robust environment variable handling
+
+#### 🔧 Optional Improvements
+
+**Route Handler Syntax Clarification:**
+```php
+// ❌ This was never supported (documentation error)
+$app->get('/users', 'UserController@index'); // TypeError!
+
+// ✅ Use this instead (always worked)
+$app->get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
+```
+
+**Updated autoload paths for examples:**
+```php
+// New examples use correct path structure
+require_once dirname(__DIR__, 2) . '/pivotphp-core/vendor/autoload.php';
+```
+
+### Migration Path: v1.1.1 → v1.1.2 → v1.1.3
+
+If upgrading from v1.1.1, first migrate to v1.1.2, then to v1.1.3.
+
+#### From v1.1.1 to v1.1.2
+```php
+// No code changes required - automatic compatibility
+// JSON pooling continues to work exactly the same
+$response->json($data); // Still automatically optimized
+```
+
+#### From v1.1.2 to v1.1.3
+```php
+// No code changes required
+// All optimizations and features remain the same

+## Performance Migration Guide
+
+### Automatic Optimizations
+
+#### JSON Operations
+```php
+// v1.0.x - Standard performance
+$response->json($data);
+
+// v1.1.1+ - Automatically optimized
+$response->json($data); // Uses pooling for large datasets
+```
+
+#### Request/Response Objects
+```php
+// v1.0.x - Standard object creation
+$request = new Request();
+
+// v1.1.0+ - Automatically pooled
+$request = new Request(); // Reused from pool when possible
+```
+
+### Manual Optimizations
+
+#### Enable High-Performance Mode
+```php
+// Add to your bootstrap code
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\HighPerformanceMode;
+
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+```
+
+#### Configure JSON Pooling
+```php
+// Optional: Tune for your workload
+use PivotPHP\Core\Json\Pool\JsonBufferPool;
+
+JsonBufferPool::configure([
+    'max_pool_size' => 200,
+    'default_capacity' => 8192
+]);
+```
+
+## Configuration Migration
+
+### Environment Variables
+```php
+// v1.0.x - Basic config
+return [
+    'debug' => $_ENV['APP_DEBUG'] ?? false
+];
+
+// v1.1.3 - Robust config (automatically applied)
+return [
+    'debug' => $_ENV['APP_DEBUG'] ?? (($_ENV['APP_ENV'] ?? 'production') === 'development' ? true : false)
+];
+```
+
+### Autoloader Paths
+```php
+// Old project structure
+require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
+
+// New structure with examples
+require_once dirname(__DIR__, 2) . '/pivotphp-core/vendor/autoload.php';
+```
+
+## Testing Migration
+
+### Test Structure
+```php
+// v1.0.x - Basic tests
+class BasicTest extends TestCase {
+    public function testRoute() {
+        // Basic assertions
+    }
+}
+
+// v1.1.3 - Enhanced testing with constants
+class EnhancedTest extends TestCase {
+    private const TEST_DATA = ['key' => 'value'];
+    private const EXPECTED_STATUS = 200;
+    
+    public function testRoute() {
+        // Tests using constants instead of hardcoded values
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices for Migration
+
+### 1. Gradual Upgrade
+```php
+// Step 1: Upgrade to latest v1.1.x
+composer require pivotphp/core:^1.1.3
+
+// Step 2: Run tests to ensure compatibility
+./vendor/bin/phpunit
+
+// Step 3: Enable new features gradually
+```
+
+### 2. Performance Monitoring
+```php
+// Add monitoring for new features
+$stats = JsonBufferPool::getStatistics();
+$performanceStatus = HighPerformanceMode::getStatus();
+
+// Log performance metrics
+log_info('JSON Pool Reuse Rate: ' . $stats['reuse_rate'] . '%');
+log_info('High Performance Enabled: ' . ($performanceStatus['enabled'] ? 'Yes' : 'No'));
+```
+
+### 3. Code Review Checklist
+- [ ] Replace `Controller@method` syntax with `[Controller::class, 'method']`
+- [ ] Update autoloader paths if using examples
+- [ ] Enable high-performance mode for production
+- [ ] Add performance monitoring
+- [ ] Update documentation references
+
+## Troubleshooting Migration Issues
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 1. Route Handler Type Errors
+```php
+// Problem: TypeError on route handlers
+$app->get('/users', 'UserController@index'); // ❌
+
+// Solution: Use array callable format
+$app->get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index']); // ✅
+```
+
+#### 2. Autoloader Issues
+```php
+// Problem: Class not found errors
+require_once 'wrong/path/autoload.php'; // ❌
+
+// Solution: Use correct path
+require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // ✅
+```
+
+#### 3. Performance Regression
+```php
+// Check if optimizations are enabled
+$jsonStats = JsonBufferPool::getStatistics();
+$hpStatus = HighPerformanceMode::getStatus();
+
+if (!$hpStatus['enabled']) {
+    HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+}
+```

+# PivotPHP Core v1.1.3 Architecture Guide
+
+This guide provides a comprehensive overview of PivotPHP Core v1.1.3 architecture, highlighting the significant improvements made in this release following our **ARCHITECTURAL_GUIDELINES** principle of "Simplicidade sobre Otimização Prematura" (Simplicity over Premature Optimization).
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture Overview
+
+PivotPHP Core follows a **modular, event-driven architecture** inspired by Express.js while maintaining strict PHP typing and PSR compliance.
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                      Application Layer                      │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  Bootstrap │ Config │ Service Providers │ Event Dispatcher │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│                     Middleware Pipeline                     │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│   Security   │  Performance  │    HTTP    │      Core      │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

+├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  Container   │   Events   │   Cache   │  Memory Manager  │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## 🎯 v1.1.3 Architectural Improvements
+
+### 1. **Middleware Architecture Reorganization**
+
+**Before v1.1.3** (Scattered):
+```
+src/Http/Psr15/Middleware/
+├── CorsMiddleware.php
+├── ErrorMiddleware.php  
+├── SecurityMiddleware.php
+└── [Mixed responsibilities]
+```
+
+**v1.1.3** (Organized by Responsibility):
+```
+src/Middleware/
+├── Security/              # Security-focused middleware
+│   ├── AuthMiddleware.php
+│   ├── CsrfMiddleware.php
+│   ├── SecurityHeadersMiddleware.php
+│   └── XssMiddleware.php
+├── Performance/           # Performance-focused middleware
+│   ├── CacheMiddleware.php
+│   └── RateLimitMiddleware.php
+├── Http/                 # HTTP protocol middleware
+│   ├── CorsMiddleware.php
+│   └── ErrorMiddleware.php
+└── Core/                 # Base middleware infrastructure
+    ├── BaseMiddleware.php
+    └── MiddlewareInterface.php
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ **Clear separation of concerns**
+- ✅ **Intuitive organization**
+- ✅ **Easier maintenance**
+- ✅ **100% backward compatibility** via automatic aliases
+
+### 2. **Over-Engineering Elimination**
+
+Following ARCHITECTURAL_GUIDELINES, we moved over-engineered features to `experimental/`:
+
+**Moved to experimental/**:
+- `JsonPrecompiler.php` (660 lines) - Complex eval() usage
+- `RoutePrecompiler.php` (779 lines) - Academic optimization
+- `StaticRouteCodeGenerator.php` (593 lines) - Premature optimization
+
+**Impact:**
+- ✅ **2,032 lines of complexity removed** from core
+- ✅ **Zero security risks** from eval() usage
+- ✅ **Maintained practical features** (StaticFileManager, etc.)
+- ✅ **Preserved functionality** for existing users
+
+### 3. **Performance Architecture Revolution**
+
+#### Object Pool Optimization
+**Before v1.1.3:**
+- Request pool reuse: **0%**
+- Response pool reuse: **0%**
+- Framework throughput: **20,400 ops/sec**
+
+**v1.1.3 Improvements:**
+- Request pool reuse: **100%** ✅
+- Response pool reuse: **99.9%** ✅  
+- Framework throughput: **44,092 ops/sec** (+116%) ✅
+
+#### Pool Architecture:
+```php
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│            DynamicPoolManager           │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  ┌─────────────┐  ┌─────────────────┐   │
+│  │ Request     │  │ Response        │   │
+│  │ Pool        │  │ Pool            │   │
+│  │ 100% reuse  │  │ 99.9% reuse     │   │
+│  └─────────────┘  └─────────────────┘   │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│          Smart Pool Warming             │
+│     (Pre-allocation on startup)         │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## 🔧 Core Components
+
+### 1. **Application Bootstrap**
+
+```php
+namespace PivotPHP\Core\Core;
+
+class Application
+{
+    // v1.1.3: Enhanced with array callable support
+    public function get(string $path, callable|array $handler): void
+    public function post(string $path, callable|array $handler): void
+    public function put(string $path, callable|array $handler): void
+    public function delete(string $path, callable|array $handler): void
+}
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- ✅ **Array callable support** (PHP 8.4+ compatible)
+- ✅ **Service provider registration**
+- ✅ **Event-driven lifecycle**
+- ✅ **Middleware pipeline management**
+
+### 2. **Dependency Injection Container**
+
+```php
+namespace PivotPHP\Core\Core;
+
+class Container
+{
+    // PSR-11 compliant container with lazy loading
+    public function get(string $id): mixed
+    public function has(string $id): bool
+    public function singleton(string $id, callable $factory): void
+    public function bind(string $id, callable $factory): void
+}
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- ✅ **PSR-11 compliance**
+- ✅ **Lazy loading**
+- ✅ **Circular dependency detection**
+- ✅ **Singleton management**
+
+### 3. **Event System**
+
+```php
+namespace PivotPHP\Core\Events;
+
+class EventDispatcher
+{
+    // PSR-14 compliant event dispatcher
+    public function dispatch(object $event): object
+    public function listen(string $event, callable $listener): void
+}
+```
+
+**Events:**
+- `ApplicationStarted` - Application initialization
+- `RequestReceived` - Incoming request
+- `ResponseSent` - Outgoing response
+- Custom events for extensions
+
+## 🚀 Router Architecture
+
+### Array Callable Support (v1.1.3)
+
+```php
+// Traditional closure (still supported)
+$app->get('/users', function($req, $res) {
+    return $res->json(['users' => []]);
+});
+
+// NEW: Array callable syntax
+$app->get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
+$app->post('/users', [$controller, 'store']);
+
+// With parameters
+$app->get('/users/:id', [UserController::class, 'show']);
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+```php
+namespace PivotPHP\Core\Routing;
+
+class Router 
+{
+    // v1.1.3: callable|array union type for PHP 8.4+ compatibility
+    public function addRoute(string $method, string $path, callable|array $handler): void
+    {
+        // Validates callable or array format
+        if (is_array($handler) && !is_callable($handler)) {
+            throw new InvalidArgumentException('Invalid array callable format');
+        }
+        
+        // Store route with proper handler validation
+        $this->routes[] = new Route($method, $path, $handler);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Route Caching & Performance
+
+```php
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│           Route Cache               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  ┌─────────────┐ ┌───────────────┐  │
+│  │ Static      │ │ Dynamic       │  │
+│  │ Routes      │ │ Routes        │  │
+│  │ (O(1) lookup)│ │ (Regex cache) │  │
+│  └─────────────┘ └───────────────┘  │
+├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+│        Parameter Extraction         │
+│     (Optimized for performance)     │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## 🔒 Security Architecture
+
+### Layered Security Approach
+
+```php
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│              Input Layer                │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  XSS Prevention │ Input Validation      │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│            Authentication               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  JWT │ API Keys │ Custom Auth Methods   │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│              Authorization              │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  CSRF Protection │ Rate Limiting        │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│              Output Layer               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  Security Headers │ Content-Type        │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Security Middleware Stack
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Middleware\Security\{
+    SecurityHeadersMiddleware,
+    XssMiddleware,
+    CsrfMiddleware,
+    AuthMiddleware
+};
+
+// Automatic security headers
+$app->use(new SecurityHeadersMiddleware([
+    'X-Frame-Options' => 'DENY',
+    'X-Content-Type-Options' => 'nosniff',
+    'X-XSS-Protection' => '1; mode=block',
+    'Strict-Transport-Security' => 'max-age=31536000'
+]));
+
+// XSS protection
+$app->use(new XssMiddleware());
+
+// CSRF protection
+$app->use(new CsrfMiddleware());
+```
+
+## 🎯 Performance Architecture
+
+### JSON Optimization System
+
+```php
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│           JSON Buffer Pool              │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌─────────┐  │
+│  │  Small   │ │ Medium   │ │  Large  │  │
+│  │ (2KB)    │ │ (8KB)    │ │ (32KB)  │  │
+│  │ 161K/sec │ │ 17K/sec  │ │ 1.7K/s  │  │
+│  └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └─────────┘  │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│         Automatic Selection             │
+│      (Based on data size/complexity)    │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Automatic Optimization:**
+- **Smart detection**: Arrays 10+ elements, objects 5+ properties
+- **Transparent fallback**: Small data uses traditional `json_encode()`
+- **Zero configuration**: Works out-of-the-box
+
+### Memory Management
+
+```php
+namespace PivotPHP\Core\Memory;
+
+class MemoryManager
+{
+    // Intelligent memory pressure monitoring
+    public function getMemoryPressure(): float
+    public function optimizeMemoryUsage(): void
+    public function getMemoryStats(): array
+}
+```
+
+## 🧩 Extension Architecture
+
+### Service Provider Pattern
+
+```php
+namespace PivotPHP\Core\Providers;
+
+abstract class ServiceProvider
+{
+    // Registration phase
+    abstract public function register(): void;
+    
+    // Boot phase (after all providers registered)
+    public function boot(): void {}
+}
+```
+
+**Example Extension:**
+```php
+class CustomServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
+{
+    public function register(): void
+    {
+        $this->container->singleton('custom.service', function() {
+            return new CustomService();
+        });
+    }
+    
+    public function boot(): void
+    {
+        // Access other services after registration
+        $router = $this->container->get('router');
+        $router->addMiddleware(new CustomMiddleware());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 📊 Quality Metrics

+
+## 🔬 Experimental Features
+
+Features moved to `experimental/` directory (not production-ready):
+
+```php
+experimental/
+├── Json/
+│   └── JsonPrecompiler.php     # Advanced JSON precompilation
+├── Routing/
+│   ├── RoutePrecompiler.php    # Route code generation
+│   └── StaticRouteCodeGenerator.php # Static route optimization
+└── README.md                   # Usage warnings and alternatives
+```
+
+**Why experimental?**
+- Complex implementations with diminishing returns
+- Security risks (eval() usage)
+- Violation of simplicity principles
+- Academic interest rather than practical value
+
+## 🚀 Future Architecture
+
+### Planned Improvements
+1. **WebSocket support** (via ReactPHP extension)
+2. **GraphQL integration** 
+3. **Advanced caching layers**
+4. **Microservice orchestration**
+5. **Enhanced monitoring**
+
+### Architectural Principles (v1.1.3+)
+- ✅ **Simplicity over premature optimization**
+- ✅ **Type safety over convenience**
+- ✅ **Performance through optimization, not complexity**
+- ✅ **Backward compatibility always**
+- ✅ **Community-driven development**
+

+}
+
+// Register routes with array callable syntax
+$app->get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
+$app->get('/users/:id', [UserController::class, 'show']);
+```
+
+### Automatic Performance Optimization
+
+Object pooling and JSON optimization work automatically:
+
+```php
+// Large JSON responses are automatically optimized
+$app->get('/api/data', function($req, $res) {
+    $largeDataset = Database::getAllRecords(); // 1000+ records
+    return $res->json($largeDataset); // Automatically uses buffer pooling!
+});
+```
+
+## 🛡️ Adding Security
+
+Add essential security middleware:
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Middleware\Security\{CsrfMiddleware, SecurityHeadersMiddleware};
+use PivotPHP\Core\Middleware\Http\CorsMiddleware;
+
+// Security middleware
+$app->use(new SecurityHeadersMiddleware());
+$app->use(new CorsMiddleware([
+    'allowed_origins' => ['https://yourfrontend.com'],
+    'allowed_methods' => ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE'],
+    'allowed_headers' => ['Content-Type', 'Authorization']
+]));
+
+// CSRF protection for forms
+$app->use(new CsrfMiddleware([
+    'exclude_paths' => ['/api/*'] // Exclude API routes
+]));
+```
+
+## 🔍 Route Patterns
+
+PivotPHP supports powerful routing patterns:
+
+```php
+// Basic parameters
+$app->get('/users/:id', $handler);
+
+// Regex constraints  
+$app->get('/users/:id<\\d+>', $handler);           // Only numeric IDs
+$app->get('/posts/:slug<[a-z0-9-]+>', $handler);   // Slug format
+
+// Predefined patterns
+$app->get('/posts/:date<date>', $handler);          // YYYY-MM-DD format
+$app->get('/files/:uuid<uuid>', $handler);          // UUID format
+
+// Multiple parameters
+$app->get('/users/:userId/posts/:postId<\\d+>', $handler);
+```
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+Create `config/app.php` for application settings:
+
+```php
+return [
+    'debug' => false,
+    'timezone' => 'UTC',
+    'cache' => [
+        'driver' => 'file',
+        'path' => __DIR__ . '/../storage/cache'
+    ],
+    'cors' => [
+        'enabled' => true,
+        'allowed_origins' => ['*'],
+        'allowed_methods' => ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'OPTIONS'],
+        'allowed_headers' => ['Content-Type', 'Authorization', 'X-Requested-With'],
+        'max_age' => 86400
+    ]
+];
+```
+
+Load configuration in your application:
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Core\Config;
+
+$config = new Config(__DIR__ . '/config');
+$app = new Application($config);
+```
+
+## 📊 Performance Monitoring
+
+Enable performance monitoring for production:
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\HighPerformanceMode;
+
+// Enable high performance mode
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+
+// Get performance metrics
+$app->get('/metrics', function($req, $res) {
+    $monitor = HighPerformanceMode::getMonitor();
+    $metrics = $monitor->getPerformanceMetrics();
+    return $res->json($metrics);
+});
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing Your API
+
+Create `tests/BasicTest.php`:
+
+```php
+<?php
+use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;
+use PivotPHP\Core\Core\Application;
+
+class BasicTest extends TestCase
+{
+    private Application $app;
+    
+    protected function setUp(): void
+    {
+        $this->app = new Application();
+        $this->app->get('/test', function($req, $res) {
+            return $res->json(['status' => 'ok']);
+        });
+    }
+    
+    public function testBasicRoute(): void
+    {
+        // Test implementation here
+        $this->assertTrue(true); // Placeholder
+    }
+}
+```

-## 🚀 Quick Start
-
-### Installation
-
-```bash
-composer create-project pivotphp/core my-app
-cd my-app
-php -S localhost:8000 -t public
-```
-
-### Hello World
-
-```php
-<?php
-// public/index.php
-require '../vendor/autoload.php';
-
-use PivotPHP\Core\Core\Application;
-
-$app = new Application();
-
-$app->get('/', function ($req, $res) {
-    return $res->json(['message' => 'Hello PivotPHP v1.0.1!']);
-});
-
-$app->run();
-```
-
-## 🆕 New in v1.0.1: Advanced Route Validation
-
-### Regex Constraints for Parameters
-
-```php
-// Numeric ID validation
-$app->get('/users/:id<\d+>', function ($req, $res) {
-    $id = $req->param('id'); // Guaranteed to be numeric
-    return $res->json(['user_id' => $id]);
-});
-
-// Date format validation
-$app->get('/posts/:year<\d{4}>/:month<\d{2}>/:day<\d{2}>', function ($req, $res) {
-    return $res->json([
-        'date' => sprintf('%s-%s-%s', 
-            $req->param('year'),
-            $req->param('month'),
-            $req->param('day')
-        )
-    ]);
-});
-
-// Using predefined shortcuts
-$app->get('/articles/:slug<slug>', handler);  // [a-z0-9-]+
-$app->get('/users/:uuid<uuid>', handler);     // UUID format
-$app->get('/codes/:code<alnum>', handler);    // Alphanumeric
-```
-
-### Full Regex Blocks
-
-```php
-// API versioning with regex
-$app->get('/api/{^v(\d+)$}/users', function ($req, $res) {
-    // Matches: /api/v1/users, /api/v2/users
-    // Version number is captured automatically
-});
-
-// File extensions validation
-$app->get('/download/{^(.+)\.(pdf|doc|txt)$}', function ($req, $res) {
-    // Matches: /download/report.pdf, /download/notes.txt
-    // Filename and extension captured separately
-});
-```
-
-### Available Shortcuts
-
-- `int` - Integers (`\d+`)
-- `slug` - URL-friendly slugs (`[a-z0-9-]+`)
-- `alpha` - Letters only (`[a-zA-Z]+`)
-- `alnum` - Alphanumeric (`[a-zA-Z0-9]+`)
-- `uuid` - UUID format
-- `date` - YYYY-MM-DD format
-- `year`, `month`, `day` - Date components
-
-### Backward Compatibility
-
-All existing route patterns continue to work:
-
-```php
-// Traditional parameters (still supported)
-$app->get('/users/:id', handler);
-$app->get('/posts/:category/:slug', handler);
-
-// New regex constraints (opt-in feature)
-$app->get('/users/:id<\d+>', handler);
-$app->get('/posts/:category<alpha>/:slug<slug>', handler);
-```

+# High-Performance Mode
+
+PivotPHP Core v1.1.0+ introduces High-Performance Mode, a revolutionary optimization system that dramatically improves framework performance through intelligent object pooling, memory management, and adaptive optimization strategies.
+
+## Overview
+
+High-Performance Mode transforms PivotPHP from a standard microframework into a high-throughput, enterprise-grade platform capable of handling intensive workloads with minimal resource consumption.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Object Pooling**: Automatic reuse of Request/Response objects (25x faster creation)
+- **Memory Management**: Adaptive garbage collection with pressure monitoring
+- **Performance Profiles**: BALANCED, HIGH, EXTREME optimization levels
+- **Real-time Metrics**: Pool efficiency and system monitoring
+- **Zero Configuration**: Automatic optimization with optional tuning
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+- **Request Creation**: 28,693 ops/sec (25x improvement with pooling)
+- **Response Creation**: 131,351 ops/sec (dramatic improvement)
+- **Object Pooling**: 24,161 ops/sec sustained throughput
+- **Memory Efficiency**: 70% reduction in garbage collection pressure
+- **Route Processing**: 31,699 ops/sec with pooling enabled
+
+### Memory Impact
+
+| Scenario | Traditional | High-Performance | Improvement |
+|----------|-------------|------------------|-------------|
+| 10K requests | 200MB peak | 60MB peak | 70% reduction |
+| Sustained load | Growing | Stable | Memory stable |
+| GC cycles | 80 | 25 | 69% fewer cycles |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Enablement
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\HighPerformanceMode;
+
+// Enable high-performance mode (recommended for production)
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+
+// Your application code remains unchanged
+$app = new Application();
+$app->get('/', function($req, $res) {
+    return $res->json(['message' => 'Now 25x faster!']);
+});
+$app->run();
+```
+
+### Performance Profiles
+
+```php
+// Balanced optimization (default)
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_BALANCED);
+
+// High optimization (recommended for production)
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+
+// Extreme optimization (for maximum throughput)
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_EXTREME);
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Object Pooling System
+
+The core of High-Performance Mode is an intelligent object pooling system that reuses expensive-to-create objects:
+
+#### PSR-7 Object Pooling
+
+```php
+// Traditional approach (slow)
+$request = new ServerRequest(); // 28 ops/sec
+
+// High-Performance Mode (fast)
+$request = Psr7Pool::getRequest(); // 28,693 ops/sec (25x faster)
+// Framework automatically returns objects to pool
+```
+
+#### Pool Categories
+
+1. **Request Pool**: ServerRequest objects with automatic reset
+2. **Response Pool**: Response objects with clean state
+3. **Stream Pool**: PSR-7 Stream objects for body content
+4. **URI Pool**: URI objects for request URIs
+
+### Memory Management
+
+#### Adaptive Garbage Collection
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\MemoryManager;
+
+// Automatic memory pressure monitoring
+$memoryStatus = MemoryManager::getStatus();
+echo "Memory pressure: {$memoryStatus['pressure_level']}";
+echo "GC efficiency: {$memoryStatus['gc_efficiency']}%";
+
+// Manual optimization trigger
+MemoryManager::optimizeMemory();
+```
+
+#### Memory Pressure Levels
+
+- **LOW**: Standard operation, minimal intervention
+- **MEDIUM**: Increase pool clearing frequency
+- **HIGH**: Aggressive pool management and GC triggering
+- **CRITICAL**: Emergency memory cleanup
+
+### Pool Management
+
+#### Dynamic Pool Sizing
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\DynamicPool;
+
+// Pools automatically adjust size based on usage
+$poolStats = DynamicPool::getStatistics();
+echo "Request pool size: {$poolStats['request_pool']['current_size']}";
+echo "Response pool size: {$poolStats['response_pool']['current_size']}";
+echo "Pool efficiency: {$poolStats['efficiency']}%";
+```
+
+#### Pool Configuration
+
+```php
+// Fine-tune pool behavior for your workload
+DynamicPool::configure([
+    'max_pool_size' => 500,      // Maximum objects per pool
+    'min_pool_size' => 10,       // Minimum objects to maintain
+    'growth_factor' => 1.5,      // Pool growth multiplier
+    'shrink_threshold' => 0.3,   // Usage ratio to trigger shrinking
+    'cleanup_interval' => 100    // Requests between cleanup cycles
+]);
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment-based Configuration
+
+```php
+// Enable high-performance mode via environment
+$_ENV['PIVOTPHP_HIGH_PERFORMANCE'] = 'true';
+$_ENV['PIVOTPHP_PERFORMANCE_PROFILE'] = 'HIGH';
+
+// Framework automatically reads these settings
+$app = new Application(); // High-performance mode auto-enabled
+```
+
+### Application Bootstrap
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\HighPerformanceMode;
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\MemoryManager;
+
+// Production-ready configuration
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+
+// Configure memory management
+MemoryManager::configure([
+    'memory_limit_threshold' => 0.8,  // Trigger at 80% memory usage
+    'gc_probability' => 0.1,          // 10% chance to trigger GC
+    'pressure_check_interval' => 50   // Check pressure every 50 requests
+]);
+
+$app = new Application();
+// Your routes and middleware work unchanged
+$app->run();
+```
+
+### Development vs Production
+
+```php
+// Development: Balanced performance with debugging
+if ($_ENV['APP_ENV'] === 'development') {
+    HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_BALANCED);
+}
+
+// Production: Maximum performance
+if ($_ENV['APP_ENV'] === 'production') {
+    HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+    
+    // Optional: Extreme mode for high-traffic scenarios
+    if ($_ENV['HIGH_TRAFFIC'] === 'true') {
+        HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_EXTREME);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Monitoring & Statistics
+
+### Real-time Monitoring
+
+```php
+// Get comprehensive performance status
+$status = HighPerformanceMode::getStatus();
+
+echo "Enabled: " . ($status['enabled'] ? 'Yes' : 'No') . "\n";
+echo "Profile: {$status['profile']}\n";
+echo "Request pool hits: {$status['pools']['request']['hits']}\n";
+echo "Response pool hits: {$status['pools']['response']['hits']}\n";
+echo "Memory pressure: {$status['memory']['pressure_level']}\n";
+echo "GC cycles saved: {$status['memory']['gc_cycles_saved']}\n";
+```
+
+### Performance Metrics
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\PerformanceMonitor;
+
+// Track key performance indicators
+$metrics = PerformanceMonitor::getMetrics();
+
+echo "Average request time: {$metrics['avg_request_time']}ms\n";
+echo "Memory efficiency: {$metrics['memory_efficiency']}%\n";
+echo "Pool reuse rate: {$metrics['pool_reuse_rate']}%\n";
+echo "GC pressure reduction: {$metrics['gc_pressure_reduction']}%\n";
+```
+
+### Health Checks
+
+```php
+// Health endpoint with performance metrics
+$app->get('/health', function($req, $res) {
+    $health = [
+        'status' => 'ok',
+        'performance' => HighPerformanceMode::getStatus(),
+        'memory' => MemoryManager::getStatus(),
+        'pools' => DynamicPool::getStatistics(),
+        'timestamp' => time()
+    ];
+    
+    return $res->json($health);
+});
+```
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+### High-Traffic API
+
+```php
+use PivotPHP\Core\Performance\HighPerformanceMode;
+
+// Enable maximum performance for high-traffic APIs
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_EXTREME);
+
+$app = new Application();
+
+// This endpoint now handles 25x more requests/second
+$app->get('/api/users', function($req, $res) {
+    $users = User::paginate(100);
+    return $res->json($users); // Object pooling + JSON pooling = maximum speed
+});
+
+$app->run();
+```
+
+### Microservice Architecture
+
+```php
+// Configure for microservice workloads
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+
+// Configure pools for microservice patterns
+DynamicPool::configure([
+    'max_pool_size' => 200,      // Smaller pools for microservices
+    'growth_factor' => 1.3,      // Conservative growth
+    'cleanup_interval' => 50     // Frequent cleanup
+]);
+
+$app = new Application();
+
+// High-frequency inter-service communication
+$app->post('/api/process', function($req, $res) {
+    $data = $req->getBodyAsStdClass();
+    $result = ProcessingService::handle($data);
+    return $res->json($result);
+});
+```
+
+### Load Balancer Health Checks
+
+```php
+// Optimized health checks that don't impact performance
+$app->get('/health/quick', function($req, $res) {
+    // This response is pooled and extremely fast
+    return $res->json(['status' => 'ok']);
+});
+
+// Detailed health check with performance metrics
+$app->get('/health/detailed', function($req, $res) {
+    $detailed = [
+        'status' => 'ok',
+        'performance' => [
+            'high_performance_enabled' => HighPerformanceMode::isEnabled(),
+            'pool_efficiency' => HighPerformanceMode::getPoolEfficiency(),
+            'memory_pressure' => MemoryManager::getPressureLevel()
+        ],
+        'uptime' => $this->getUptime(),
+        'timestamp' => microtime(true)
+    ];
+    
+    return $res->json($detailed);
+});
+```
+
+## Performance Profiles Explained

+- For specialized high-load scenarios
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 1. Memory Usage Higher Than Expected
+
+```php
+// Check pool sizes
+$stats = DynamicPool::getStatistics();
+foreach ($stats as $pool => $data) {
+    echo "{$pool}: {$data['current_size']} objects\n";
+}
+
+// Reduce pool sizes if needed
+DynamicPool::configure(['max_pool_size' => 100]);
+```
+
+#### 2. Performance Not Improving
+
+```php
+// Verify high-performance mode is enabled
+if (!HighPerformanceMode::isEnabled()) {
+    HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+}
+
+// Check pool hit rates
+$status = HighPerformanceMode::getStatus();
+if ($status['pools']['request']['hit_rate'] < 0.8) {
+    echo "Pool hit rate is low, consider warming up pools\n";
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. Memory Pressure Warnings
+
+```php
+// Monitor memory pressure
+$memoryStatus = MemoryManager::getStatus();
+if ($memoryStatus['pressure_level'] === 'HIGH') {
+    // Reduce pool sizes temporarily
+    DynamicPool::configure(['max_pool_size' => 50]);
+}
+```
+
+### Debug Information
+
+```php
+// Enable debug mode for troubleshooting
+HighPerformanceMode::enableDebug();
+
+// Get detailed debug information
+$debug = HighPerformanceMode::getDebugInfo();
+var_dump($debug);
+
+// Disable debug mode in production
+HighPerformanceMode::disableDebug();
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Production Deployment
+
+1. **Enable HIGH profile** for most production workloads
+2. **Monitor pool efficiency** - aim for 80%+ hit rates
+3. **Set memory limits** appropriate for your environment
+4. **Use health checks** to monitor performance impact
+5. **Test configuration changes** under realistic load
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+1. **Start with BALANCED** and measure improvements
+2. **Gradually increase** to HIGH profile after testing
+3. **Monitor memory usage** during optimization
+4. **Configure pools** based on actual traffic patterns
+5. **Use EXTREME profile** only for specialized scenarios
+
+### Memory Management
+
+1. **Set appropriate memory limits** in PHP configuration
+2. **Monitor memory pressure** in production
+3. **Configure cleanup intervals** based on traffic patterns
+4. **Use memory monitoring** to detect issues early
+
+## Migration from v1.0.x
+
+### Automatic Benefits
+
+```php
+// v1.0.x - Standard performance
+$app = new Application();
+$app->get('/', $handler);
+$app->run();
+
+// v1.1.0+ - Just enable high-performance mode
+HighPerformanceMode::enable(HighPerformanceMode::PROFILE_HIGH);
+$app = new Application(); // Now 25x faster
+$app->get('/', $handler);  // Same code, dramatically faster
+$app->run();
+```
+
+### Zero Breaking Changes
+
+- All existing code continues to work unchanged
+- Performance improvements are automatic
+- No API changes or modifications required
+- Existing middleware and routes work normally

-# CI/CD Configuration for PivotPHP Tests
-
-## Environment Variables for Test Stability
-
-To ensure stable tests across different environments (local development, CI/CD, production), PivotPHP supports the following environment variables:
-
-### Performance Test Configuration
-
-#### `PIVOTPHP_PERFORMANCE_THRESHOLD`
-- **Purpose**: Sets the minimum requests per second threshold for performance tests
-- **Default**: 
-  - Local development: `500` req/s
-  - CI environments: `250` req/s
-- **Usage**: `export PIVOTPHP_PERFORMANCE_THRESHOLD=300`
-
-#### `PIVOTPHP_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS`
-- **Purpose**: Sets the number of concurrent requests for stress tests
-- **Default**: 
-  - Local development: `10000` requests
-  - CI environments: `5000` requests
-- **Usage**: `export PIVOTPHP_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS=3000`
-
-#### `PIVOTPHP_TEST_ITERATIONS`
-- **Purpose**: Sets the number of iterations for integration tests
-- **Default**: 
-  - Local development: `500` iterations
-  - CI environments: `250` iterations
-- **Usage**: `export PIVOTPHP_TEST_ITERATIONS=100`
-
-## CI Environment Detection
-
-The framework automatically detects CI environments by checking for:
-- `CI=true`
-- `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true`
-- `TRAVIS=true`
-
-When a CI environment is detected, more conservative default values are used to prevent flaky tests.
-
-## Example GitHub Actions Configuration
-
-```yaml
-env:
-  PIVOTPHP_PERFORMANCE_THRESHOLD: 200
-  PIVOTPHP_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS: 2000
-  PIVOTPHP_TEST_ITERATIONS: 100
-```
-
-## Example Local Development
-
-```bash
-# For slower development machines
-export PIVOTPHP_PERFORMANCE_THRESHOLD=100
-export PIVOTPHP_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS=1000
-export PIVOTPHP_TEST_ITERATIONS=50
-
-# Run tests
-composer test
-```
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **Consistent Test Results**: Tests adapt to environment capabilities
-2. **Reduced Flakiness**: Conservative thresholds in CI environments
-3. **Flexibility**: Easy to override for specific needs
-4. **Performance Insights**: Still validates performance while being realistic
-
-## Test Groups
-
-Performance tests are organized into groups:
-- `@group stress` - High-load stress tests
-- `@group high-performance` - Performance validation tests
