fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! Further pursue of perfection.

1. ✅ HTTPS Detection Fixed (session.go:723)
- Now uses X-Forwarded-Proto header instead of r.URL.Scheme
- Properly detects HTTPS in reverse proxy environments
2. ✅ SameSite Cookie Attribute Fixed
- Removed automatic SameSiteStrictMode for HTTPS (would break OAuth)
- Keeps SameSiteLaxMode to allow OAuth callbacks from external domains
- Only uses Strict for AJAX requests which don't involve OAuth redirects
3. ✅ Cookie Domain Handling Fixed
- Now respects X-Forwarded-Host header for cookie domain
- Ensures cookies are set for the public domain, not internal proxy domain
4. ✅ EnhanceSessionSecurity Properly Integrated
- Function is now actually called during session save
- Applies security enhancements without breaking OAuth flow

Why Issue #53 Failed Before:

1. Cookies were not marked Secure in HTTPS environments (browser wouldn't send them back)
2. If they had been Secure with SameSite=Strict, Azure callbacks would still fail
3. Cookie domain might have been wrong (internal vs public domain)

Why It Works Now:

1. Cookies are properly marked Secure for HTTPS
2. Uses SameSite=Lax to allow OAuth provider callbacks
3. Cookie domain uses public domain from X-Forwarded-Host
4. CSRF token persists through the entire OAuth flow

+**⚠️ Important: Template Escaping**
+
+If you encounter the error `can't evaluate field AccessToken in type bool` when starting Traefik, this indicates that Traefik is attempting to evaluate the template expressions before passing them to the plugin. This is a known issue when using template syntax in Traefik plugin configurations.
+
+**Solution:** You must escape the template expressions using double curly braces:

+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: "Authorization"
+    value: "Bearer {{{{.AccessToken}}}}"
+```
+
+This is the only reliable method that works consistently. Here's why:
+
+- **Double curly braces (`{{{{.AccessToken}}}}`)** ✅
+  - The YAML parser converts `{{{{` → `{{` and `}}}}` → `}}`
+  - Result: `Bearer {{.AccessToken}}` reaches the Go template engine correctly
+
+- **Other methods (YAML literal style, single quotes) do NOT work** ❌
+  - These methods don't prevent Traefik's YAML parser from interpreting the curly braces
+  - The template syntax gets processed incorrectly before reaching the plugin

+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Fast Development Testing (Default - Target: < 30 seconds)
+```bash
+# Run quick smoke tests only
+go test ./... 
+
+# Or explicitly run in short mode
+go test ./... -short
+```
+
+### Extended Testing (Target: 2-5 minutes)
+```bash
+# Enable extended tests with more iterations and concurrency

+
+# Or use the flag equivalent (if using test runner that supports it)
+go test ./... -extended
+```
+
+### Long-Running Performance Tests (Target: 5-15 minutes)
+```bash
+# Enable comprehensive performance and stress tests
+RUN_LONG_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+### Full Stress Testing (Target: 10-30 minutes)
+```bash
+# Enable all stress tests with maximum parameters
+RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```

+## Environment Variables
+
+### Test Execution Control
+```bash
+# Enable specific test types
+export RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1        # Enable extended tests
+export RUN_LONG_TESTS=1           # Enable long-running tests
+export RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1         # Enable stress tests
+
+# Disable specific features
+export DISABLE_LEAK_DETECTION=1   # Skip memory leak detection
+```
+
+### Parameter Customization
+```bash
+# Customize concurrency limits
+export TEST_MAX_CONCURRENCY=10    # Override max concurrent operations
+
+# Customize iteration limits
+export TEST_MAX_ITERATIONS=50     # Override max test iterations
+
+# Customize memory thresholds
+export TEST_MEMORY_THRESHOLD_MB=25.5  # Override memory growth limit (in MB)
+```
+
+## Test-Specific Behavior
+
+### Memory Leak Tests
+- **Quick Mode**: 1-3 iterations, small data sets, strict memory limits
+- **Extended Mode**: 5-10 iterations, medium data sets, relaxed limits
+- **Long Mode**: 50-100 iterations, large data sets, performance focus
+- **Stress Mode**: 100-500 iterations, maximum data sets, stress focus
+
+### Concurrency Tests
+- **Quick Mode**: 2-5 concurrent operations, basic race detection
+- **Extended Mode**: 10-20 concurrent operations, moderate stress
+- **Long Mode**: 20-50 concurrent operations, high contention
+- **Stress Mode**: 50-100+ concurrent operations, maximum stress
+
+### Cache Tests
+- **Quick Mode**: Small caches (50 items), basic operations
+- **Extended Mode**: Medium caches (200 items), varied operations
+- **Long Mode**: Large caches (1000 items), performance testing
+- **Stress Mode**: Very large caches (2000+ items), stress testing
+
+## Integration with CI/CD
+
+### GitHub Actions Example
+```yaml
+# Quick tests for every push/PR
+- name: Quick Tests
+  run: go test ./... -short
+
+# Extended tests for main branch
+- name: Extended Tests
+  if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
+  run: RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+
+# Nightly comprehensive testing
+- name: Nightly Stress Tests
+  if: github.event_name == 'schedule'
+  run: RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+### Local Development Workflow
+```bash
+# During active development
+go test ./... -short
+
+# Before committing
+RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+
+# Before major releases
+RUN_LONG_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+
+# Performance validation
+RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization Features
+
+### Dynamic Test Scaling
+The test system automatically adjusts parameters based on:
+- Test mode (quick/extended/long/stress)
+- Available resources
+- Environment variables
+- Previous test performance
+
+### Memory Management
+- **Garbage Collection**: Forced GC between test iterations
+- **Memory Monitoring**: Real-time memory growth tracking
+- **Leak Detection**: Goroutine and memory leak prevention
+- **Resource Cleanup**: Automatic cleanup of test resources
+
+### Timeout Management
+- **Adaptive Timeouts**: Timeouts scale with test complexity
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Tests adapt to slower environments
+- **Early Termination**: Failed tests terminate quickly
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tests Taking Too Long
+```bash
+# Check if running in extended mode accidentally
+echo $RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS $RUN_LONG_TESTS
+
+# Force quick mode
+unset RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS RUN_LONG_TESTS RUN_STRESS_TESTS
+go test ./... -short
+```
+
+### Memory Issues
+```bash
+# Reduce memory limits for constrained environments
+export TEST_MEMORY_THRESHOLD_MB=5.0
+export TEST_MAX_CONCURRENCY=2
+go test ./...
+```
+
+### Concurrency Issues
+```bash
+# Reduce concurrency for slower systems
+export TEST_MAX_CONCURRENCY=5
+export TEST_MAX_ITERATIONS=10
+go test ./...
+```
+
+### Skip Specific Test Types
+```bash
+# Skip memory leak detection if problematic
+export DISABLE_LEAK_DETECTION=1
+go test ./...
+```
+
+## Benchmarking
+
+### Running Benchmarks
+```bash
+# Quick benchmarks
+go test -bench=. -short
+
+# Extended benchmarks
+RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test -bench=.
+
+# Memory profiling
+go test -bench=. -memprofile=mem.prof
+go tool pprof mem.prof
+```
+
+### Benchmark Categories
+- **Basic Operations**: Set/Get performance
+- **Concurrency**: Multi-threaded performance
+- **Memory**: Allocation and cleanup performance
+- **Cache**: Eviction and cleanup performance
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### For Developers
+1. Always run quick tests during development (`go test ./... -short`)
+2. Run extended tests before committing (`RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...`)
+3. Use appropriate test categories for your use case
+4. Monitor test execution time and adjust if needed
+
+### For CI/CD
+1. Use quick tests for fast feedback on PRs
+2. Use extended tests for main branch validation
+3. Use long tests for release validation
+4. Use stress tests for nightly/weekly validation
+
+### For Performance Testing
+1. Use consistent environment variables
+2. Run tests multiple times for statistical significance
+3. Monitor both execution time and resource usage
+4. Use profiling tools for detailed analysis
+
+## Examples
+
+### Daily Development
+```bash
+# Fast tests while coding
+go test ./... -short
+
+# Before git commit
+RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+### Release Testing
+```bash
+# Comprehensive validation
+RUN_LONG_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+
+# Stress testing
+RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+### Custom Configuration
+```bash
+# Custom limits for specific environment
+export TEST_MAX_CONCURRENCY=8
+export TEST_MAX_ITERATIONS=25
+export TEST_MEMORY_THRESHOLD_MB=15.0
+RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+This test system provides flexible, scalable test execution that adapts to your development workflow and infrastructure constraints while maintaining comprehensive test coverage.
