-## Security Features
-
-### Path Traversal Protection
-All received file paths are validated by `has_path_traversal()` before any disk operation. Any path containing `..` components is rejected with `STATUS_ERROR`, preventing directory escape attacks.
-
-### TLS Certificate Verification
-When `--ca` is provided, the server performs mutual TLS verification (`SSL_VERIFY_PEER` with depth 4). Without `--ca`, TLS is still encrypted but peer certificates are not verified.
-
-### Connection Limits
-The server enforces a maximum of 100 concurrent connections (configurable via `max_connections` in `Server`). When the limit is reached, new connections are immediately rejected and closed.
-
-### Abort Handling
-If the client receives `SIGINT` (Ctrl+C) during a transfer, it sends `STATUS_ABORT` to the server. The server then cleans up temporary files and exits the child process, preventing incomplete files from remaining on disk.
-
-### Atomic Writes
-Received files are written to a temporary path (suffixed with `.tmp`) and then atomically renamed to the final filename via `rename()`. This prevents partial or corrupted files from appearing at the destination if the transfer is interrupted.
