* fix: resolve TestMixedConcurrentOperations race condition and command key mismatches

The concurrency test was failing due to several issues:

1. **Command Key Mismatch**: Test setup used "sudo test arg" key but MockRunner
   looked for "test arg" because "test" command doesn't require sudo
2. **Invalid Commands**: Using "test" and "echo" commands that aren't in the
   fail2ban command allowlist, causing validation failures
3. **Race Conditions**: Multiple goroutines setting different MockRunners
   simultaneously, overwriting responses

**Solution:**
- Replace invalid test commands ("test", "echo") with valid fail2ban commands
  ("fail2ban-client status", "fail2ban-client -V")
- Pre-configure shared MockRunner with all required response keys for both
  sudo and non-sudo execution paths
- Improve test structure to reduce race conditions between setup and execution

All tests now pass reliably, resolving the CI failure.

Previous Critical Issues (RESOLVED)

High Cyclomatic Complexity: All functions reviewed - complexity is within acceptable range for their domain (security testing, log processing). Functions are well-structured with clear separation of concerns.

Resource Management: Investigation shows:

  • Production code has proper resource management with context-based timeouts
  • No actual resource leaks found in production paths

🟡 Optimization Opportunities

Performance Micro-optimizations:

  • String operations in validation loops (minor impact)
  • Caching for frequently validated patterns (validation caching completed)

🟢 Enhancement Opportunities

Documentation & Monitoring:

  • Add comprehensive API documentation with examples (completed)
  • Implement structured logging with context propagation (completed)
  • Add performance metrics collection for long-running operations (completed)
  • Create developer onboarding guide with architecture walkthrough

Advanced Features:

  • Caching layer for frequently accessed jail/filter data (validation caching completed)
  • Bulk operations for multiple IP addresses
  • Configuration validation and schema documentation
  • Enhanced error messages with suggested remediation
