CCC beta2 codebase review
## Problem/motivation
Beta2 will be released shortly. We continually need to check the codebase as it changes for potential security issues, performance issues, and any pre-rc1 features/apis that need to be addressed.
## Solution
Run AI checks against the codebase to identify for pre-rc1 and post-1.0:
- Important performance issues
- Important feature/API gaps
- Security issues (these will not be reported here)
## Next steps
- Run security review
- Run performance review
- Run api/feature review
- Attach findings for here (not security)
- Create follow-up issues as needed
