Andres Amaya contributed to the riscv/riscv-cheri repository by enhancing documentation clarity and maintaining alignment with evolving RISC-V and CHERI specifications. Over two months, he clarified capability store documentation to warn about future exceptions if write permissions are missing, and removed outdated references to xtdc CSRs and the zcherihybrid extension. Andres also reverted memory description terminology to match the Unprivileged RISC-V spec, preserving CHERI backward compatibility and reducing confusion for downstream tooling. His work focused on AsciiDoc and CSV formats, emphasizing documentation accuracy, system architecture consistency, and traceable commit history to support maintainability and future audits.
