+## 2026-06-24 - Input Validation Enhancement
+**Vulnerability:** Missing input validation
+**Learning:** R functions often lack input validation for arguments like `conf.level`, `nested`, and `adj`, which could lead to unexpected behavior or obscure errors downstream.
+**Prevention:** Always validate numeric ranges, logical bounds, and enum choices using `is.numeric`, `is.logical`, and `match.arg`.
