 - **`process_write_frame` uses `Error::Done` as success** -- non-obvious control flow, don't replicate elsewhere.
 - **`DriverHooks` is sealed** -- `mod hooks` is `pub(crate)`, trait has `#[allow(private_interfaces)]`. Do not expose.
 - **Stream cleanup is distributed** across 4+ functions (`cleanup_stream`, `shutdown_stream`, `process_h3_fin`, `process_h3_data`). Understand all paths before modifying.
+- **Waiting-stream cancellation must be keyed** -- cancelling waiting streams must not linearly walk all pending futures for performance reasons.
 - **`STREAM_CAPACITY`** is 1 in test/debug, 16 in release. Tests exercise backpressure differently from prod.
