+## ⚡ Continuous Structure-Aware Fuzzing & Sanitizers
+
+SafeXML incorporates continuous fuzz testing to guarantee memory safety and zero panics across arbitrary inputs and parameter configurations:
+
+- **Structure-Aware libFuzzer**: Randomized `ParseOptions` fuzz target (`fuzz/fuzz_targets/fuzz_parser.rs`) exploring permutations of depth limits, attribute bounds, and DTD permissions.
+- **XML Syntax Dictionary**: Seeded with `fuzz/xml.dict` containing XML grammar tokens, DTD specifiers, namespace declarations, and known attack strings.
+- **Nightly Sanitizer Pipeline**: Automated GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/fuzz.yml`) running libFuzzer under **AddressSanitizer (ASan)** and **UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (UBSan)** with crash artifact archiving.
+- **Google OSS-Fuzz**: Integration manifests prepared in `oss-fuzz/` for 24/7 continuous distributed cluster fuzzing.
