+# Profile State Leakage Fix
+
+## Problem Summary
+
+The svg_conform gem was experiencing state leakage when switching between validation profiles. When validating the same SVG content with different profiles in sequence, the second validation would return incorrect results (e.g., 0 errors instead of the expected count).
+
+### Example of the Bug
+
+```ruby
+profile = SvgConform::Profiles.get("metanorma")
+validator = SvgConform::Validator.new(mode: :sax)
+result = validator.validate(svg, profile: profile)
+warn "metanorma:  #{result.errors.count}"  # => 0
+
+profile = SvgConform::Profiles.get("svg_1_2_rfc")
+validator = SvgConform::Validator.new(mode: :sax)
+result = validator.validate(svg, profile: profile)
+warn "svg_1_2_rfc:  #{result.errors.count}"  # => 0 (INCORRECT - should be 18)
+```
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The issue stemmed from **two separate but related problems**:
+
+### Problem 1: Incorrect Classification Cache Key
+
+The `SaxValidationHandler` uses a class-level cache to store requirement classifications (immediate vs deferred) by profile. However, it was using `@profile.class.name` as the cache key, which evaluates to `"SvgConform::Profile"` for ALL profiles since they're all instances of the same `Profile` class.
+
+This meant:
+- When validating with "metanorma" profile first, it cached the classification with fewer deferred requirements
+- When validating with "svg_1_2_rfc" profile next, it reused the SAME cached classification
+- The svg_1_2_rfc validation would skip requirements that should have been deferred, causing incorrect results
+
+### Problem 2: Incomplete State Reset in Requirements
+
+Additionally, some requirements had incomplete `reset_state` methods:
+
+1. **InvalidIdReferencesRequirement**: Only reset `@other_refs` but not `@collected_ids` or `@use_element_refs`
+2. **NoExternalCssRequirement**: Did not implement `reset_state` at all, despite maintaining `@collected_style_elements`
+
+## Solution
+
+Fixed both issues:
+
+### Fix 1: Correct Classification Cache Key
+
+Changed `lib/svg_conform/sax_validation_handler.rb` to use the profile name instead of class name as the cache key:
+
+```ruby
+# Before (INCORRECT):
+profile_key = @profile.class.name  # Always "SvgConform::Profile"
+
+# After (CORRECT):
+profile_key = @profile.name || @profile.object_id.to_s  # e.g., "metanorma", "svg_1_2_rfc"
+```
+
+This ensures each profile has its own cached classification of requirements.
+
+### Fix 2: Complete State Reset in Requirements
+
+Fixed the `reset_state` method in all affected requirement classes to properly reset ALL stateful instance variables:
+
+### Files Modified
+
+1. **lib/svg_conform/sax_validation_handler.rb**
+   - Fixed classification cache key to use `@profile.name` instead of `@profile.class.name`
+   - This was the PRIMARY fix that resolved the state leakage issue
+
+2. **lib/svg_conform/requirements/invalid_id_references_requirement.rb**
+   - Added complete `reset_state` method that resets all three state variables:
+     - `@collected_ids`
+     - `@use_element_refs`
+     - `@other_refs`
+
+3. **lib/svg_conform/requirements/no_external_css_requirement.rb**
+   - Added `reset_state` method to reset:
+     - `@collected_style_elements`
+
+4. **spec/svg_conform_spec.rb**
+   - Added comprehensive test suite for profile switching without state leakage
+   - Tests cover:
+     - Switching between different profiles
+     - Multiple sequential validations with the same profile
+     - Interleaved profile validations
+     - Real-world SVG that violates one profile but not another
+
+## Verification
+
+The fix has been verified with:
+
+1. **New Tests**: Added 3 new test cases specifically for profile switching
+2. **Full Test Suite**: All 306 existing tests pass
+3. **Profile Switching**: Validates that results are consistent regardless of the order of profile usage
+
+### Test Results
+
+```
+✓ maintains consistent validation results when switching between profiles
+✓ properly resets requirement state between validations  
+✓ handles interleaved profile validations correctly
+
+Finished in 7.53 seconds (files took 0.3596 seconds to load)
+306 examples, 0 failures, 2 pending
+```
+
+## Workarounds (Before Fix)
+
+If you cannot immediately upgrade to the fixed version, you can work around this issue by:
+
+1. **Clear the profile cache** between validations:
+   ```ruby
+   SvgConform::Profiles.clear_cache!
+   ```
+
+2. **Create new validator instances** (though this won't help if profiles are cached)
+
+## Impact
+
+This fix ensures that:
+- ✅ Validation results are consistent regardless of profile switching order
+- ✅ No state leaks between different profiles
+- ✅ Multiple validations with the same profile produce identical results
+- ✅ The validator can be safely reused across multiple validations
