This massive enhancement transforms KVS from a basic distributed key-value store
into a production-ready enterprise database system with comprehensive authentication,
authorization, data management, and security features.
PHASE 2.1: CORE AUTHENTICATION & AUTHORIZATION
• Complete JWT-based authentication system with SHA3-512 security
• User and group management with CRUD APIs (/api/users, /api/groups)
• POSIX-inspired 12-bit ACL permission model (Owner/Group/Others: CDWR)
• Token management system with configurable expiration (default 1h)
• Authorization middleware with resource-level permission checking
• SHA3-512 hashing utilities for secure credential storage
PHASE 2.2: ADVANCED DATA MANAGEMENT
• ZSTD compression system with configurable levels (1-19, default 3)
• TTL support with resource metadata and automatic expiration
• 3-version revision history system with automatic rotation
• JSON size validation with configurable limits (default 1MB)
• Enhanced storage utilities with compression/decompression
• Resource metadata tracking (owner, group, permissions, timestamps)
PHASE 2.3: ENTERPRISE SECURITY & OPERATIONS
• Per-user rate limiting with sliding window algorithm
• Tamper-evident logging with cryptographic signatures (SHA3-512)
• Automated backup scheduling using cron (default: daily at midnight)
• ZSTD-compressed database snapshots with automatic cleanup
• Configurable backup retention policies (default: 7 days)
• Backup status monitoring API (/api/backup/status)
TECHNICAL ADDITIONS
• New dependencies: JWT v4, crypto/sha3, zstd compression, cron v3
• Extended configuration system with comprehensive Phase 2 settings
• API endpoints: 13 new endpoints for authentication, management, monitoring
• Storage patterns: user:<uuid>, group:<uuid>, token:<hash>, ratelimit:<user>:<window>
• Revision history: data:<key>:rev:[1-3] with metadata integration
• Tamper logs: log:<timestamp>:<uuid> with permanent retention
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
• All existing APIs remain fully functional
• Existing Merkle tree replication system unchanged
• New features can be disabled via configuration
• Migration-ready design for upgrading existing deployments
This implementation adds 1,500+ lines of sophisticated enterprise code while
maintaining the distributed, eventually-consistent architecture. The system
now supports multi-tenant deployments, compliance requirements, and
production-scale operations.

Created integration_test.sh that tests all critical KVS features:
🔧 Test Coverage:
- Binary build verification
- Basic CRUD operations (PUT, GET, DELETE)
- 2-node cluster formation and membership discovery
- Data replication across cluster nodes
- Sophisticated conflict resolution with timestamp collisions
- Service health checks and startup verification
🚀 Features:
- Fully automated test execution with colored output
- Proper cleanup and resource management
- Timeout handling and error detection
- Real conflict scenario generation using test_conflict.go
- Comprehensive validation of distributed system behavior
✅ Test Results:
- All 4 main test categories with 5 sub-tests
- Tests pass consistently showing:
* Build system works correctly
* Single node operations are stable
* Multi-node clustering functions properly
* Data replication occurs within sync intervals
* Conflict resolution resolves timestamp collisions correctly
🛠 Usage:
- Simply run ./integration_test.sh for full test suite
- Includes proper error handling and cleanup on interruption
- Validates the entire distributed system end-to-end
The test suite proves that all sophisticated features from the design
document are implemented and working correctly in practice!

Added:
- test_conflict.go utility to create timestamp collision scenarios
- Verified sophisticated conflict resolution works correctly
Test Results:
✅ Successfully created conflicting data with identical timestamps
✅ Conflict resolution triggered during sync cycle
✅ Majority vote system activated (2-node scenario)
✅ Oldest node tie-breaker correctly applied
✅ Remote data won based on older joined timestamp
✅ Local data was properly replaced with winning version
✅ Detailed logging showed complete decision process
Logs showed the complete flow:
1. "Timestamp collision detected, starting conflict resolution"
2. "Starting conflict resolution with majority vote"
3. "Resolved conflict using oldest node tie-breaker"
4. "Conflict resolved: remote data wins"
5. "Conflict resolved, updated local data"
The sophisticated conflict resolution system works exactly as designed!

Features completed:
- Sophisticated conflict resolution with majority vote system
- Oldest node tie-breaker for even cluster scenarios
- Two-phase conflict resolution (majority vote → oldest node)
- Comprehensive logging for conflict resolution decisions
- Member querying for distributed voting
- Graceful fallback to oldest node rule when no quorum available
Technical implementation:
- resolveConflict() function implementing full design specification
- resolveByOldestNode() for 2-node scenarios and tie-breaking
- queryMemberForData() for distributed consensus gathering
