🚀 DEPLOYMENT IMPACT
================================================================================

Breaking Changes:          None
Backward Compatibility:    100%
Migration Required:        No
Configuration Required:    Optional (security features opt-in)
Performance Impact:        <5% overhead
Memory Impact:             Minimal (+2KB for rate limiting tables)

Default Behavior:
----------------
Before: Server open to all, no authentication
After:  Server open to all, no authentication (SAME!)

With Protection:
---------------
Set TNT_ACCESS_TOKEN="password"
→ Now requires authentication
→ Rate limiting enabled
→ Connection limits enforced
