**Vulnerability:** Unvalidated inputs passed to `if()` statements can cause process crashes (`condition has length > 1`) or unexpected coercion vulnerabilities.
**Learning:** In R, optional boolean parameters that default to `NULL` should be validated using explicit runtime type validation (e.g., `if (!is.null(flag) && (!is.logical(flag) || length(flag) != 1 || is.na(flag)))`).
**Prevention:** Always implement explicit runtime type validation for optional boolean parameters.

## 2024-05-18 - Fix readline integer coercion DoS
**Vulnerability:** Weak regex validation like `^[0-9]+$` for `readline()` inputs allows extremely large numbers that coerce to `NA` via `as.integer()`, breaking `if` conditions and causing unhandled exceptions.
**Learning:** Using `as.integer()` on unbounded numeric strings can result in `NA_integer_` warnings, which crashes logical conditions and enables local denial-of-service in interactive sessions.
**Prevention:** Use strictly bounded exact-match regex like `^[12]$` when only specific choices are valid.

세 입력 검증 경로에 회귀 테스트를 추가하세요.

R/aFIPC.R의 세 readline() 경로는 ^[12]$ 계약을 사용하지만, 현재 테스트는 이를 확인하지 않습니다. 각 경로에서 "1"과 "2"를 허용하고 "0", "3", "12", 빈 문자열, 긴 숫자 입력을 거부하며, 잘못된 입력 세 번 후 오류를 반환하는지 테스트하세요. 테스트를 먼저 추가한 뒤 변경을 병합하세요.

In `@R/aFIPC.R` at line 144, R/aFIPC.R의 세 readline 입력 검증 경로에 회귀 테스트를 추가하세요. 각 경로에서
정규식 ^[12]$에 따라 “1”과 “2”만 허용하고 “0”, “3”, “12”, 빈 문자열, 긴 숫자 입력은 거부되는지 검증하며, 잘못된
입력이 세 번 누적되면 오류가 반환되는지도 확인하세요.
