+## [1.1.2] - 2026-03-01
+
+### Security
+
+- **WidgetRenderer regex hardening**: Combined two separate `preg_replace` calls for h2→h4 heading downgrade into a single regex that only matches `
` elements with the `wp-block-heading` class. The previous approach replaced all `
` tags unconditionally, risking mismatched tags if a widget contained non-block h2 elements.
+
+### Performance
+
+- **O(n) comment tree building** (`ContextBuilder`): Replaced O(n²) recursive scan with a parent-indexed lookup map built in a single pass. Each recursion level now iterates only direct children instead of all comments.
+- **Consolidated sidebar queries** (`ContextBuilder`): Merged three separate sidebar detection branches (`is_home`, `is_page`+sidebar, `is_singular` post) into a single boolean check with one `getSidebarData()` call, eliminating up to 2 redundant calls per request.
+- **Transient caching for sidebar data** (`ContextBuilder`): `getSidebarRecentPosts()` and `getSidebarTags()` results cached in WordPress transients (1 hour TTL). Invalidation hooks on `save_post` (recent posts) and `create/edit/delete_post_tag` (tags).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Hex-to-RGB consolidation** (`functions.php`): `wp_bootstrap_hex_to_rgb()` now delegates to `wp_bootstrap_hex_to_rgb_array()` instead of duplicating hex parsing logic. Added `ctype_xdigit()` validation and return type hints to all color utility functions.

## Session History
+### Session 21 — v1.1.2 Security Audit & Performance Fixes (2026-03-01)
+
+**Completed:** Cross-theme security audit with 12 findings, all fixed. Covers WidgetRenderer regex hardening, ContextBuilder performance (O(n) comment tree, sidebar query consolidation, transient caching), and hex-to-RGB code consolidation.
+
+**What was changed:**
+
+- **WidgetRenderer regex fix** (`inc/Block/WidgetRenderer.php`): Combined two `preg_replace` calls into single regex matching `` with `wp-block-heading` class, preventing mismatched tags.
+- **O(n) comment tree** (`inc/Template/ContextBuilder.php`): Parent-indexed lookup map replaces full-scan recursion. Each level now iterates only direct children.
+- **Sidebar query consolidation** (`inc/Template/ContextBuilder.php`): Three separate sidebar detection branches merged into single boolean + one `getSidebarData()` call.
+- **Transient caching** (`inc/Template/ContextBuilder.php` + `functions.php`): `getSidebarRecentPosts()` and `getSidebarTags()` cached in 1-hour transients with hook-based invalidation (`save_post`, `create/edit/delete_post_tag`).
+- **Hex-to-RGB consolidation** (`functions.php`): Eliminated duplicate hex parsing. Added `ctype_xdigit()` validation and type hints to all color utility functions.
+
+**Files modified:**
+
+- `inc/Block/WidgetRenderer.php` — single regex for h2→h4
+- `inc/Template/ContextBuilder.php` — O(n) tree, sidebar consolidation, transient caching
+- `functions.php` — hex-to-RGB consolidation, type hints, transient invalidation hooks
+- `style.css` — version bump to 1.1.2
+- `CHANGELOG.md`, `CLAUDE.md` — documentation
