 - Patch [GHSA-6wcg-mqvh-fcvg](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/security/advisories/GHSA-6wcg-mqvh-fcvg) by containing subrequest logic to Anubis instances in subrequest mode.
+- Implement robot9001 style delays on the honeypot feature so that the first hit takes 1 millisecond, the second takes 2, etc.
 - Move metrics server configuration to [the policy file](./admin/policies.mdx#metrics-server).
 - Expose [pprof endpoints](https://pkg.go.dev/net/http/pprof) on the metrics listener to enable profiling Anubis in production.
 - fix: prevent nil pointer panic in challenge validation when threshold rules match during PassChallenge (#1463)
