Summary

Implements the Security Best Practices Guide for PrivacyLayer (Issue #47).

What Was Done

Created — a comprehensive 19KB guide covering:

  1. Note Management — backup strategies, secure storage tiers, recovery impossibility (zK-proof design)
  2. Privacy Practices — wait time recommendations (4h–4w depending on amount), fresh address guidance, pattern avoidance, VPN/Tor setup
  3. Operational Security — wallet security (hot/cold), transaction privacy (intermediary address pattern), metadata protection, browser fingerprinting mitigation
  4. Common Mistakes — address reuse, immediate withdrawals, small anonymity sets, amount correlation, chain analysis scenarios
  5. Threat Model — what privacy IS provided vs. NOT provided, attack scenarios (chain analysis, front-running, collusion, quantum threat), limitations
  6. Emergency Procedures — lost note, compromised wallet, contract pause behavior, support resources + anti-phishing guidance

Acceptance Criteria Met

  • ✅ Complete guide written (19,396 bytes, ~3,200 words)
  • ✅ At least 2000 words
  • ✅ Clear examples (intermediary address pattern, deposit/withdrawal flow diagrams, browser setup table)
  • ✅ Visual aids (Quick Reference Card, tier comparison tables)
  • ✅ User-friendly language with do/don't sections
  • ✅ Threat model covering what IS vs. IS NOT protected

Closes #47
