 **Vulnerability:** Allowing users to register or submit forms with disposable email addresses (e.g., mailinator.com) can lead to spam, abuse, and polluted data.
 **Learning:** While true email verification requires a backend or API, a simple client-side blocklist of common disposable domains is a highly effective, low-cost first line of defense.
 **Prevention:** Maintain a list of known disposable domains (e.g., `BLOCKED_DOMAINS`) and check the domain part of the email address during validation.

+## 2026-02-14 - Blocked Domains in Test Data
+**Vulnerability:** Tests failing unexpectedly on valid inputs can lead to disabling security features or ignoring real bugs.
+**Learning:** The application blocks specific domains (like `example.com`) in its validation logic. Using these domains in test data (e.g. `john@example.com`) causes tests to fail with "Invalid email", confusing debugging efforts.
+**Prevention:** Always use safe, non-blocked domains (e.g. `valid-email.com` or a custom test domain) in test fixtures, and check the security configuration (`BLOCKED_DOMAINS`) when validation tests fail unexpectedly.
