May 2025 monthly summary for godotengine/godot focused on reliability and safety in the Animation subsystem. Delivered a critical memory-safety fix by adding bounds checks in Animation::_find() to prevent heap buffer overflow when accessing the keys array. This reduces crash risk and undefined behavior in edge-case scenarios. Implemented in godotengine/godot with commit c317549587339f508b9fdf863354d258c726b8f8, strengthening runtime stability for animation workflows.
