Worked on the riscv/riscv-cheri repository to enhance documentation clarity and maintain alignment with evolving CHERI and RISC-V specifications. Focused on improving system architecture documentation using AsciiDoc and CSV, clarifying capability store behaviors and warning about potential future exceptions if write permissions are missing. Removed outdated references to xtdc CSRs and the zcherihybrid extension, ensuring repository hygiene and reducing documentation drift. Addressed memory description consistency by reverting terminology to match the Unprivileged RISC-V specification, preserving CHERI backward compatibility. All changes were carefully tracked through issue alignment and commit history, supporting maintainability and reducing risk for downstream developers and tooling.
