Test Output Summary

Due to PowerShell execution policy restrictions, automated test execution could not be performed. However, comprehensive test suites have been created with:

  • 95%+ coverage targets for all new code
  • Mock implementations for Stellar RPC failures
  • Edge case and boundary condition testing
  • Security and authorization testing
  • Performance and timeout scenario testing

Security Note

The implementation assumes trusted upstream authentication middleware and follows defense-in-depth principles with multiple layers of security controls. All reconciliation operations create comprehensive audit trails, and Stellar RPC failures are classified to prevent upstream error leakage.
