### Testing (Next Sprint)
1. Write unit tests for all services (target 80% coverage)
2. Write integration tests for API endpoints
3. Add E2E tests for critical user flows
4. Create mock POP3/IMAP server
### Production Readiness (Before Launch)
1. Add Kubernetes manifests
2. Implement Prometheus metrics

## 🔍 Code Quality Improvements
### Before
```python
# No validation
SECRET_KEY = "change-this" # ❌ Accepted!
# No error handling
try:
something()
except Exception: # ❌ Too broad
pass
```
### After
```python
# Validated on startup
@field_validator("SECRET_KEY")
def validate_secret_key(cls, v: str) -> str:
if v == "change-this":
raise ValueError("Must change SECRET_KEY!") # ✅ Rejected!
return v
# Specific error handling
try:
something()
except SpecificError as e: # ✅ Specific
logger.error(f"Context: {e}")
raise HTTPException(...)
```
