Month: 2026-05 — Focused on delivering documentation quality improvements and build robustness with tangible business value: clearer CTR state-enable semantics, improved AsciiDoc indexing, and a more resilient clean workflow when dependencies are unavailable. This month reduced interpretation risk, increased developer productivity, and smoothed CI/build processes across two repos. Key outcomes include: (1) clearer CTR state-enable behavior and cross-references in riscv/riscv-isa-manual; (2) corrected placement of concealed index terms in AsciiDoc to improve visibility; (3) tolerant clean target in riscv-software-src/riscv-unified-db to avoid failures when riscv-tests dependencies are missing; (4) overall impact: improved documentation readability, build stability, and faster issue resolution.
