Summary

Go Report Card currently reports no issues for gofmt, go vet, ineffassign, and license checks. However, there are several gocyclo warnings for functions with cyclomatic complexity above the recommended threshold of 15, plus one minor spelling issue.

Current status

Passing checks

gofmt: 100%
- Code is formatted with gofmt -s
go vet: 100%
- No suspicious constructs detected
ineffassign: 100%
- No ineffectual assignments detected
license: 100%
- LICENSE file exists

Issues to address

High cyclomatic complexity

Go Report Card warns for functions with cyclomatic complexity greater than 15.

File	Line	Function	Complexity
`websocket/client.go`	218	`(*Client).getToken()`	19
`websocket/client.go`	336	`(*Client).establishConnection()`	17
`wgnetstack/wgnetstack.go`	786	`(*WireGuardService).calculatePeerBandwidth()`	17
`proxy/manager.go`	290	`(*ProxyManager).handleUDPProxy()`	17
`main.go`	128	`main()`	165
`main.go`	1261	`validateTLSConfig()`	17
`util.go`	232	`startPingCheck()`	25
`docker/client.go`	159	`ListContainers()`	25
`wg/wg.go`	601	`(*WireGuardService).handleUpdatePeer()`	19

The most important target is main() in main.go, which currently has a complexity of 165. This should probably be split into smaller functions for configuration loading, validation, dependency initialization, service startup, signal handling, and shutdown logic.

Idea

Refactor large functions into smaller, testable helper functions.
Prioritize main.go, especially main(), because it is by far the largest complexity outlier.
Avoid behavior changes during the refactor.
Add or adjust tests where possible to make sure the refactoring does not change runtime behavior.
Keep the public API and configuration behavior unchanged unless explicitly required.

Minor typo

misspell reports one typo:

File	Line	Current	Suggested
`wg/wg.go`	329	`exising`	`existing`

Acceptance criteria

Fix the typo in wg/wg.go.
Reduce cyclomatic complexity of the listed functions where reasonably possible.
At minimum, significantly reduce the complexity of main().
Keep existing behavior unchanged.
gofmt -s passes.
go vet passes.
ineffassign passes.
Go Report Card no longer reports avoidable gocyclo or misspell warnings.
