Known Issues

Current Limitations

Platform-Specific:

• Windows: FIN/NULL/Xmas scans not supported (OS limitation)
• macOS: SYN scan requires elevated privileges (1 flaky test)

Performance:

• Service Detection: Memory-intensive (493 MB/port, limit to 10-20 ports)
• Localhost Benchmarking: True 10M+ pps requires real network targets
• Futex Contention: 77-88% CPU time in high-concurrency scenarios (Phase 6.4 target)

Features:

• IPv6 Idle Scan: Not yet implemented (planned for Phase 7)
• Distributed Scanning: Single-host only (Phase 8 consideration)
• Web Interface: CLI/TUI only (Phase 8 consideration)

Documentation:

• API Examples: Some rustdoc examples reference test fixtures
• Integration Testing: Limited real-world network testing (ethical/legal constraints)

Tracking and Resolution

Issue Management:

• Tracked in CLAUDE.local.md "Recent Decisions"
• Documented in sprint completion reports
• Prioritized based on user impact and feasibility

Resolution Process:

• Critical issues: Immediate hotfix release
• Important issues: Next sprint priority
