Use a subagent to run the test suite and report only the failing tests with their error messages

Research the authentication, database, and API modules in parallel using separate subagents

Use the code-reviewer subagent to find performance issues, then use the optimizer subagent to fix them

Use the code-reviewer subagent to review the authentication module
[Agent completes]

Continue that code review and now analyze the authorization logic
