This commit addresses all critical issues identified in the code review:

🔒 SECURITY FIXES:

  • Replace insecure math/rand with crypto/rand for jitter generation
  • Ensures cryptographically secure randomness to prevent predictable patterns
  • Eliminates race conditions in concurrent jitter usage

⚡ CONCURRENCY FIXES:

  • Fix StopPolicy race condition by moving timing to retrier
  • Remove shared state (startTime) from policy structs
  • Ensure thread-safe operation across goroutines

🛡️ OVERFLOW PROTECTION:

  • Add bounds checking in exponential backoff calculations
  • Prevent integer overflow with large attempt numbers
  • Graceful handling of infinite/NaN multiplier values

✅ INPUT VALIDATION:

  • Add comprehensive parameter validation to all constructors
  • Prevent negative delays, attempts, and invalid multipliers
  • Clear panic messages for invalid inputs

🧪 ENHANCED TESTING:

  • Add comprehensive validation tests (validation_test.go)
  • Test overflow protection and security improvements
  • Verify proper error handling and edge cases
  • Update StopPolicy tests to reflect architectural changes

🔧 INFRASTRUCTURE:

  • Fix timer leaks with proper cleanup on context cancellation
  • Use time.NewTimer() with explicit Stop() calls
  • Better error messages and code documentation

All tests pass (30/30) with no regressions.
Addresses GitHub issue #1.
