# Use of NULL macro instead of nullptr in C++ code

**Severity:** Low  
**Area:** Various  

## Description
Found ~10 occurrences of `NULL`. Prefer `nullptr` for type safety and clarity in modern C++.

## Evidence
Automated scan found ~10 occurrences across the codebase.

## Steps to Reproduce
1. Search for `\bNULL\b` in sources.

## Expected Behavior
All null pointer literals use `nullptr`.

## Actual Behavior
`NULL` persists in some places.

## Suggested Fix / Next Steps
- Mechanical replacement to `nullptr` where appropriate.
- Add clang-tidy check (`modernize-use-nullptr`).
