📊 Metrics & Performance

Storage Limits

• LocalStorage max: 50 boards × 100 items = 5000 entries max
• UserPositionHistory: 1000 entries per user per board (checkpoints preserved)
• Auto-cleanup: Daily check for excess data

Query Performance

• Indexes created for fast retrieval
• Queries limited to 100 results
• Pagination support for history

Data Validation

• All reads: validated before use
• All writes: validated before storage
• Invalid data: silently removed

---

🔐 Security Checklist

• User isolation in UserPositionHistory
• UserID filtering on all queries
• Type validation on all inputs
• Bounds checking on numeric values
• Board membership verification
• Cannot modify other users' history
• Checkpoints are per-user
