Issues remain status:open intentionally — the code fixes are uncommitted-then-committed
working-tree changes per repo and aren't "resolved" until merged/deployed.

# Backend: getCategoryPath unbounded sequential findById loop
**Severity:** low
**Domain:** Marketplace
**Labels:** performance, backend
## Description
`CategoryService.ts:142` builds a category breadcrumb path by looping and calling `findById` once per ancestor level. For a 5-level category tree, this is 5 sequential DB round-trips per request.
## Options
1. Load all categories once (already cached) and walk the tree in memory.
2. Maintain a denormalized `path`/`ancestors` field on each category.
3. Leave as-is for shallow trees.
## Recommendation
Build the path from the in-memory category cache; consider a denormalized `ancestors` field for deeper trees.
## Affected Files
