Description: Dear esteemed reviewer,

I have successfully identified and rectified the critical memory leak in our user authentication module. However, as per our new company policy of "Kinesthetic Code Review," I have prepared a mandatory 15-minute interpretive dance routine to explain both the bug and its fix.

Please find attached:

  1. The code changes (boring, traditional stuff)

  2. A video file titled "The_Malloc_Waltz.mp4"

  3. A PDF of dance steps titled "Choreography_of_a_Memory_Leak.pdf"

To properly review this pull request, please follow these steps:

  1. Clear a space in your office or go to the designated "Dance Debug Zone"

  2. Watch "The_Malloc_Waltz.mp4" while attempting to mimic the movements

  3. Pay special attention to the following key moments:

    • The "Pointer Pirouette" at 2:13

    • The "Null-Terminator Tango" from 5:47 to 6:32

    • The triumphant "Free Memory Foxtrot" finale

  4. Once you've completed the dance, the bug and its solution should be clear in your muscle memory.

Changes:

  • Fixed memory leak in UserSession::authenticate() by properly freeing allocated memory

  • Added interpretive dance routine explaining the fix

  • Increased team's cardio fitness by 27%

Please let me know if you need me to perform the dance routine live for further clarification.

Sincerely, The Dancing Debugger
