October 2025 monthly summary for google/silifuzz: Stabilized a flaky runner statm test in the test suite to improve CI reliability. Implemented a deterministic workaround using a sleep delay and added necessary time headers in C++ to ensure consistent behavior across environments. The changes were committed as 6b86c734d544c4e9fd6f2fdaceab9ffd480cea52 with message 'Fix flaky runner statm test with an ugly sleep hack.' Result: reduced flaky runs, enabling faster feedback and more confident releases.

September 2025 (google/silifuzz): Stability-focused GRTE compatibility work centered on decoding behavior. Implemented a targeted bug fix that temporarily disables APX ISA decoding to avoid instability when running on GRTE, and updated the decoding path to route through xed_decode_with_features with APX registers explicitly disabled. A TODO was added in get_reg to plan future APX register support. This work preserves existing functionality while ensuring safer fuzzing across GRTE environments.

July 2025 monthly summary: Focused on stabilizing the build system for google/silifuzz and fixing OSS build issues. Implemented a critical OSS build fix by removing a malformed dependency and updating Bazel to use the new location for cc_rules, ensuring correct C++ rule lookup and reliable compilation across configurations. The changes improve build reliability, OSS compatibility, and reduce maintenance friction for downstream users. Key commits included: 766d91d7b33b0f263a4111ed399dddb987bb682d (Rewrite Bazel dependency for cc_rules) and 114929beebdf718c522dd43db58df853e72b2bbb (Remove malformed build dep to fix OSS build).
