Starting with ENABLE_CIRCUIT_BREAKER=true panicked at boot: parseConfig -> initCircuitBreaker registers a metrics gauge, but cfg.Monitoring is assigned later by StartMonitoringServer, so the registration dereferenced a nil *MetricsSetup.
Add nil-receiver guards to the MetricsSetup registration methods (RegisterMetricsGauge/GaugeFunc/Counter, RegisterFloatCounter, RegisterMetricsSummary/Histogram), matching their existing 'return a dummy to prevent panics' contract. The guard is a no-op for non-nil receivers, so existing callers are unaffected. The breaker and the admin dashboard (which reads gobreaker state directly) keep working.
Add regression tests for the nil-receiver methods and for initCircuitBreaker with nil monitoring.
* chore(security,refactor): extract sanitization and improve code quality
- [x] Extract sanitization functions to dedicated sanitization.go module
- [x] Add comprehensive golangci-lint v2 configuration with security rules
- [x] Replace interface{} with any type throughout codebase
- [x] Add admin API authentication security warning
- [x] Extract WebSocket and stats streaming constants
- [x] Add best-effort error handling comments for resource cleanup
- [x] Expand sensitive field patterns for improved PII redaction
- [x] Simplify safety checks and remove redundant nil validations
- [x] Improve test coverage for password field redaction patterns
* refactor: replace interface{} with any type alias
- [x] Replace all `map[string]interface{}` with `map[string]any`
- [x] Replace all `interface{}` with `any` in function signatures and type definitions
- [x] Update sync.Pool New function returns from `interface{}` to `any`
- [x] Add package documentation comments to 8 package files
- [x] Update type assertions and casts to work with `any` type
