+- ✅ fail2ban with 15+ jails
+- ✅ Secure password generation
+- ✅ Database secure installation
+- ✅ PHP security restrictions
+- ✅ Firewall auto-configuration
+- ✅ SSL certificate automation
+
+### Security Review Needed
+- [ ] Code review by security team
+- [ ] Penetration testing recommended

+
+## 🔄 Breaking Changes
+
+### Installation Scripts
+- **EOL OS versions rejected:** Ubuntu < 20.04, Debian < 10, RHEL < 8
+- **PHP versions:** Only 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 supported
+- **Database versions:** MariaDB 10.11+, MySQL 8.0+ required
+
+**Impact:** Users on old systems must migrate. See [MIGRATION_GUIDE.md](MIGRATION_GUIDE.md).
