Subject: [PATCH 01/25] Add Scope3 Real-Time Data (RTD) module
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This module integrates Scope3's Real-Time Data API to provide audience
segments for targeting in Prebid Server auctions.

Features:
- Fetches real-time audience segments from Scope3 API
- Adds targeting data to bid requests via hooks system
- Thread-safe segment storage during auction lifecycle
- Configurable timeout and endpoint settings
- Graceful error handling that doesn't fail auctions

The module implements three hook stages:
- Entrypoint: Initialize module context
- Raw Auction Request: Fetch segments from Scope3 API
- Processed Auction Request: Add segments to targeting data

+- Integration with LiveRamp ATS for enhanced targeting
+
+## Dependencies
+This module can work with LiveRamp ATS to enhance targeting with RampID data. If you're using LiveRamp ATS, ensure it runs before the Scope3 module in your execution plan to populate user identifiers.
+
+### Integration with LiveRamp ATS
+When using both LiveRamp ATS and Scope3 RTD modules, configure execution order so LiveRamp runs first:
+
+```yaml
+host_execution_plan:
+  endpoints:
+    /openrtb2/auction:
+      stages:
+        raw_auction_request:
+          groups:
+            # Group 1: LiveRamp ATS runs first to populate RampID
+            - timeout: 1000
+              hook_sequence:
+                - module_code: "liveramp.ats"
+                  hook_impl_code: "liveramp-fetch"
+            # Group 2: Scope3 runs after LiveRamp, can use RampID
+            - timeout: 2000
+              hook_sequence:
+                - module_code: "scope3.rtd"
+                  hook_impl_code: "scope3-fetch"
+        processed_auction_request:
+          groups:
+            - timeout: 5
+              hook_sequence:
+                - module_code: "scope3.rtd"
+                  hook_impl_code: "scope3-targeting"
+```
+
+Alternative configuration (same group, sequential execution):
+```yaml
+raw_auction_request:
+  groups:
+    - timeout: 3000
+      hook_sequence:
+        # LiveRamp runs first
+        - module_code: "liveramp.ats"
+          hook_impl_code: "liveramp-fetch"
+        # Scope3 runs second, can access RampID
+        - module_code: "scope3.rtd"
+          hook_impl_code: "scope3-fetch"
+```
+
+## User Identifier Integration
+The module automatically detects and includes user identifiers (such as RampID from LiveRamp ATS) when available in the bid request. User identifiers are typically found in:
+- `user.ext.eids[]` array with `source: "liveramp.com"`
+- `user.ext.rampid` field
+
+The complete bid request with all available user identifiers is sent to the Scope3 API for enhanced audience segmentation.

Subject: [PATCH 03/25] Add LiveRamp ATS envelope support for publishers
 without sidecar
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Support forwarding encrypted ATS envelopes directly to Scope3 API
- Check multiple envelope locations: user.ext.liveramp_idl, user.ext.ats_envelope, ext.liveramp_idl
- Prioritize sidecar RampID over envelope when both available
- Document both sidecar and envelope integration patterns
- Add note about Scope3 needing LiveRamp partner authorization

This enables publishers without LiveRamp sidecar to still benefit from
LiveRamp ATS user signals via encrypted envelope forwarding.

-- `user.ext.rampid` field

-The complete bid request with all available user identifiers is sent to the Scope3 API for enhanced audience segmentation.
+### LiveRamp Integration Options
+1. **ATS Sidecar** (when LiveRamp module runs first):
+   - `user.ext.eids[]` array with `source: "liveramp.com"`
+   - `user.ext.rampid` field
+
+2. **ATS Envelope** (when no sidecar is available):
+   - `user.ext.liveramp_idl` - Primary ATS envelope location
+   - `user.ext.ats_envelope` - Alternative envelope location
+   - `ext.liveramp_idl` - Request-level envelope
+
+### How It Works
+- **With Sidecar**: LiveRamp decrypts the envelope and populates RampID, which Scope3 receives as a resolved identifier
+- **Without Sidecar**: The encrypted ATS envelope is forwarded directly to Scope3 API, allowing Scope3 to decrypt it (if they're an authorized LiveRamp partner)
+
+The complete bid request with all available user identifiers or encrypted envelopes is sent to the Scope3 API for enhanced audience segmentation.
+
+**Note**: For ATS envelope decryption, Scope3 must be an authorized LiveRamp partner with the appropriate decryption keys.

 integration, enhance configurability
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Key improvements based on reviewer feedback:
- Add intelligent caching with configurable TTL to handle repeated requests
- Set 60-second default cache TTL for frequency cap compatibility
- Improve LiveRamp identifier detection across multiple locations
- Remove unsubstantiated partnership claims and improve documentation
- Add cache_ttl_seconds and bid_meta_data configuration options
- Implement MD5-based cache keys from user IDs and site context
- Add comprehensive test coverage for new caching functionality
- Update documentation to explain targeting vs bid.meta approach
- Change default timeout to 1000ms for better API compatibility

Addresses concerns about:
- Performance with hundreds of identical requests per user session
- Flexibility in targeting data output (bid.meta future enhancement noted)
- Accurate LiveRamp integration documentation
- Proper hook implementation code naming

-- Integration with LiveRamp ATS for enhanced targeting

+- Graceful error handling (doesn't fail auctions on API errors)  
+- Integration with various user identity systems (LiveRamp, publisher IDs, etc.)
+- Efficient caching strategy for high-traffic scenarios
+
+## Performance & Caching
+This module implements intelligent caching to handle scenarios with hundreds of identical requests per user session:
+
+- **Cache Key**: Generated from user identifiers, site domain, and page URL
+- **Cache Duration**: Configurable via `cache_ttl_seconds` (default: 60 seconds)
+- **Thread Safety**: Uses read-write mutexes for concurrent access
+- **Memory Efficiency**: Stores only segment arrays, not full API responses
+- **Frequency Cap Compatibility**: Short 60-second default ensures frequency-capped segments are refreshed quickly
 
 ## Dependencies
-This module can work with LiveRamp ATS to enhance targeting with RampID data. If you're using LiveRamp ATS, ensure it runs before the Scope3 module in your execution plan to populate user identifiers.
+This module can integrate with various user identity systems. It automatically detects and forwards available user identifiers including:
+
+- LiveRamp identifiers (when available from other sources)
+- Publisher first-party user IDs
+- Device identifiers
+- Encrypted identity envelopes

 ## User Identifier Integration
 The module automatically detects and includes user identifiers when available in the bid request. This includes support for:
 
-### LiveRamp Integration Options
-1. **ATS Sidecar** (when LiveRamp module runs first):
+### Supported Identifier Types
+1. **LiveRamp Identifiers** (when available):
    - `user.ext.eids[]` array with `source: "liveramp.com"`
-   - `user.ext.rampid` field
+   - `user.ext.rampid` field (alternative location)
 
-2. **ATS Envelope** (when no sidecar is available):
-   - `user.ext.liveramp_idl` - Primary ATS envelope location
-   - `user.ext.ats_envelope` - Alternative envelope location
+2. **Encrypted Identity Envelopes**:
+   - `user.ext.liveramp_idl` - ATS envelope location
+   - `user.ext.ats_envelope` - Alternative envelope location  
+   - `user.ext.rampId_envelope` - Additional envelope location
    - `ext.liveramp_idl` - Request-level envelope
 
+3. **Standard Identifiers**:
+   - `user.id` - Publisher user ID
+   - `device.ifa` - Device identifier
+   - Other standard OpenRTB identifiers
+
 ### How It Works
-- **With Sidecar**: LiveRamp decrypts the envelope and populates RampID, which Scope3 receives as a resolved identifier
-- **Without Sidecar**: The encrypted ATS envelope is forwarded directly to Scope3 API, allowing Scope3 to decrypt it (if they're an authorized LiveRamp partner)
+The module forwards the complete bid request with all available user identifiers to the Scope3 API. Scope3's system can then utilize whatever identifiers are available for audience segmentation, whether they are resolved identifiers or encrypted envelopes that Scope3 may be able to process.
+
+**Note**: The effectiveness of different identifier types depends on Scope3's integration capabilities and partnerships.
+
+## Data Output & Integration
+
+### Targeting Data Approach
+The module adds audience segments as targeting data in the bid request, making them available to:
+
+1. **Google Ad Manager (GAM)**: Segments appear as `hb_scope3_segments` targeting key
+2. **Bidders**: Segments are available in the request context for bid decisioning
+3. **Analytics**: Targeting data is logged for reporting purposes
 
-The complete bid request with all available user identifiers or encrypted envelopes is sent to the Scope3 API for enhanced audience segmentation.
+### Targeting vs Bid.Meta
+This implementation uses **targeting data** rather than **bid.meta** for the following reasons:
 
-**Note**: For ATS envelope decryption, Scope3 must be an authorized LiveRamp partner with the appropriate decryption keys.
+- **RTD Module Pattern**: Prebid Server RTD modules typically operate on requests, not responses
+- **Universal Availability**: Targeting data is available to all bidders and ad servers
+- **Performance**: No need to process individual bid responses
+- **Flexibility**: Publishers can choose where to send the targeting data
+
+The current hook architecture processes auction requests rather than individual bid responses, making targeting data the appropriate integration method for RTD modules.
+
+### Example Targeting Output
+```json
+{
+  "ext": {
+    "targeting": {
+      "hb_scope3_segments": "gmp_eligible,gmp_plus_eligible"
+    }

Subject: [PATCH 09/25] Complete PR feedback implementation: Response-level
 segments with GAM targeting
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Major changes to address all PR reviewer feedback:

**Response Format Changes:**
- Move from request targeting to auction response data per reviewer feedback
- Change hook stage from processed_auction_request to auction_response
- Add segments to response.ext.scope3.segments for publisher control
- Add individual GAM targeting keys when add_to_targeting=true (e.g., gmp_eligible=true)

**Configuration Updates:**
- Rename bid_meta_data to add_to_targeting for clarity
- Add comprehensive GAM integration with individual segment keys
- Remove incorrect LiveRamp RTD adapter references from README
- Update hook configuration examples to use auction_response stage

**API Integration Fixes:**
- Correct segment parsing to exclude destination field (triplelift.com)
- Extract only actual segments from imp[].ext.scope3.segments[]
- Maintain working authentication and caching functionality

**Enhanced Testing:**
- Add comprehensive mock API integration tests
- Test both response formats (scope3 + targeting sections)
- Test error handling with mock server responses
- Apply gofmt formatting to all code

**Publisher Benefits:**
- Full control over segment usage via response.ext.scope3.segments
- Optional automated GAM integration via individual targeting keys
- Flexible configuration for different use cases
- Maintains caching for high-frequency scenarios

Addresses all PR reviewer concerns while providing maximum publisher flexibility.

 ## Data Output & Integration
 
-### Targeting Data Approach
-The module adds audience segments as targeting data in the bid request, making them available to:
+### Auction Response Data
+The module adds audience segments to the auction response, giving publishers full control over how to use them:
 
-1. **Google Ad Manager (GAM)**: Segments appear as `hb_scope3_segments` targeting key
-2. **Bidders**: Segments are available in the request context for bid decisioning
-3. **Analytics**: Targeting data is logged for reporting purposes
+1. **Publisher Flexibility**: Segments are always returned in `ext.scope3.segments` for the publisher to decide where to send
+2. **Google Ad Manager (GAM)**: Individual targeting keys are added when `add_to_targeting: true` (e.g., `gmp_eligible=true`)
+3. **Other Ad Servers**: Publisher can forward segments to any ad server or system
+4. **Analytics**: Segment data is available for reporting and analysis
 
-### Targeting vs Bid.Meta
-This implementation uses **targeting data** rather than **bid.meta** for the following reasons:
+### Response Format Options
+The module provides segments in two formats:
 
-- **RTD Module Pattern**: Prebid Server RTD modules typically operate on requests, not responses
-- **Universal Availability**: Targeting data is available to all bidders and ad servers
-- **Performance**: No need to process individual bid responses
-- **Flexibility**: Publishers can choose where to send the targeting data
-
-The current hook architecture processes auction requests rather than individual bid responses, making targeting data the appropriate integration method for RTD modules.
+**Always available:**
+```json
+{
+  "ext": {
+    "scope3": {
+      "segments": ["gmp_eligible", "gmp_plus_eligible"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
 
-### Example Targeting Output
+**When `add_to_targeting: true`:**
 ```json
 {
   "ext": {
-    "targeting": {
-      "hb_scope3_segments": "gmp_eligible,gmp_plus_eligible"
+    "prebid": {
+      "targeting": {
+        "gmp_eligible": "true",
+        "gmp_plus_eligible": "true"
+      }
+    },
+    "scope3": {
+      "segments": ["gmp_eligible", "gmp_plus_eligible"]
     }
   }
 }
 ```
+
+This approach gives publishers maximum flexibility to:
+- Send segments to GAM via targeting keys
+- Forward to other ad servers or systems
+- Use for analytics and reporting
+- Control which segments go where based on their business logic

Subject: [PATCH 10/25] Address PR feedback: Add optimized HTTP Transport for
 high-frequency API calls
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

  Per reviewer feedback (@gravelg): 'if we're going to be make a lot of calls,
  we should use a Transport with better defaults'

  - MaxIdleConns: 100 (increased connection pool)
  - MaxIdleConnsPerHost: 10 (multiple connections per host)
  - IdleConnTimeout: 90s (longer connection reuse)
  - ForceAttemptHTTP2: true (HTTP/2 for better performance)
  - DisableCompression: false (bandwidth optimization)

+This module implements intelligent caching and HTTP optimizations to handle high-frequency API requests:
 
 - **Cache Key**: Generated from user identifiers, site domain, and page URL
 - **Cache Duration**: Configurable via `cache_ttl_seconds` (default: 60 seconds)
 - **Thread Safety**: Uses read-write mutexes for concurrent access
 - **Memory Efficiency**: Stores only segment arrays, not full API responses
 - **Frequency Cap Compatibility**: Short 60-second default ensures frequency-capped segments are refreshed quickly
+- **HTTP Optimization**: Custom transport with connection pooling, HTTP/2, and compression for better performance
 
 ## User Identity Integration
 This module automatically detects and forwards available user identifiers from the bid request including:

Subject: [PATCH 19/25] Add privacy field masking for Scope3 RTD module
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Implement comprehensive privacy protection by masking sensitive user data
before sending bid requests to the Scope3 API while preserving essential
targeting capabilities.

Features:
- Configurable field masking with privacy-first defaults
- Geographic data truncation with configurable precision (default: 2 decimals ~1.1km)
- Identity provider filtering with allowlist for preserved EIDs
- Always removes: IP addresses, user IDs, demographics, first-party data
- Always preserves: device characteristics, country/region, site/app context
- Comprehensive test coverage (92.3%) with edge case handling
- All linting checks pass with zero issues

 ## Environment Variables
 - `SCOPE3_API_KEY`: Your Scope3 API key for authentication
 
+## Privacy Protection
+
+This module includes comprehensive privacy masking to protect user data while preserving targeting capabilities. When masking is enabled, sensitive user information is removed or anonymized before being sent to the Scope3 API.
+
+### Field Masking Categories
+
+#### 🟢 ALWAYS SENT (Never Masked)
+These fields are always passed through without modification as they are not considered sensitive:
+
+**Device Information**
+- `device.devicetype` - Device type (mobile, desktop, CTV, etc.)
+- `device.os` - Operating system
+- `device.osv` - OS version
+- `device.make` - Device manufacturer
+- `device.model` - Device model
+- `device.ua` - User agent string
+- `device.language` - Language preference
+- `device.connectiontype` - Connection type (wifi, cellular, etc.)
+- `device.js` - JavaScript support
+- `device.h/w` - Screen dimensions
+- `device.ppi` - Screen PPI
+- `device.pxratio` - Pixel ratio
+
+**Geographic Information (Coarse)**
+- `geo.country` - Country code (e.g., "US")
+- `geo.region` - State/region code (e.g., "CA")
+
+**Context Information**
+- `site.*` - All site fields (domain, page, ref, etc.)
+- `app.*` - All app fields
+- `imp.*` - All impression data (ad sizes, positions, etc.)
+
+#### 🔴 NEVER SENT (Always Masked)
+These fields are always removed for privacy protection:
+
+**Personal Identifiers**
+- `device.ip` - IPv4 address
+- `device.ipv6` - IPv6 address
+- `user.id` - Publisher's first-party user ID
+- `user.buyeruid` - Exchange-specific user ID
+- `user.yob` - Year of birth
+- `user.gender` - Gender
+- `user.data` - First-party data segments
+- `user.keywords` - User interest keywords
+
+**High-Precision Location**
+- `geo.accuracy` - GPS accuracy radius
+
+#### 🔧 CONFIGURABLE (With Defaults)
+These fields can be configured to be preserved or masked:
+
+**Geographic Information (Fine-Grained)**
+
+| Field | Default | Options | Privacy Impact |
+|-------|---------|---------|----------------|
+| `geo.metro` | **Preserved** | preserve/remove | DMA code for regional targeting |
+| `geo.zip` | **Preserved** | preserve/remove | Postal code for local targeting |
+| `geo.city` | **Removed** | preserve/remove | City name |
+| `geo.lat/lon` | **Truncated to 2 decimals** | 0-4 decimals or remove | See precision guide below |
+
+**User Identifiers**
+
+| Field | Default | Options | Notes |
+|-------|---------|---------|-------|
+| `user.eids` | **Filter to allowlist** | List of EID sources | Default: ["liveramp.com", "uidapi.com", "id5-sync.com"] |
+
+**Device Identifiers**
+
+| Field | Default | Options | Notes |
+|-------|---------|---------|-------|
+| `device.ifa` | **Removed** | preserve/remove | Mobile advertising ID |
+| `device.dpidmd5` | **Removed** | preserve/remove | Hashed device ID |
+| `device.dpidsha1` | **Removed** | preserve/remove | Hashed device ID |
+| Other device IDs | **Removed** | preserve/remove | Various hashed identifiers |
+
+### Geographic Precision Guide
+
+When preserving latitude/longitude coordinates, the precision level has significant privacy implications:
+
+| Decimals | Accuracy | Privacy Level | Use Case |
+|----------|----------|---------------|----------|
+| 0 | Removed | Maximum | No location data |
+| 1 | ~11 km | Country/State | Regional campaigns |
+| 2 | ~1.1 km | **Neighborhood (Default)** | Store radius matching |
+| 3 | ~111 m | City block | Dense urban targeting |
+| 4 | ~11 m | Building | Maximum allowed |
+
+⚠️ **WARNING**: More than 4 decimal places can identify individuals and is not permitted by this module.
+
+### Configuration Examples
+
+#### Maximum Privacy (Strict Mode)
+```yaml
+masking:
+  enabled: true
+  geo:
+    preserve_metro: false
+    preserve_zip: false
+    preserve_city: false
+    lat_long_precision: 0
+  user:
+    preserve_eids: []
+  device:
+    preserve_mobile_ids: false
+```
+
+#### Balanced Privacy (Default)
+```yaml
+masking:
+  enabled: true
+  geo:
+    preserve_metro: true

+  user:
+    preserve_eids: ["liveramp.com", "retail-partner.com"]
+  device:
+    preserve_mobile_ids: true  # For in-store attribution
+```
+
+### Privacy Compliance
+
+**GDPR Compliance**
+- Removes direct identifiers by default
+- Configurable to meet legitimate interest requirements

Subject: [PATCH 20/25] Fix cache key generation for proper per-user caching
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Use SHA-256 hashed user.id as fallback when privacy-safe identifiers are unavailable
- Maintains per-user cache segmentation for performance while protecting privacy
- Privacy-safe identifiers (RampID, LiverampIDL) take priority over hashed user.id
- Prevents accidental data leakage by returning nil on masking failures
- Add configuration validation for geo precision (max 4 decimal places)
- Add comprehensive tests for cache key behavior and configuration validation
