December 2025: Leyden project—focused on stabilizing memory safety in the Java FFI test framework. Delivered a critical bug fix for a heap-use-after-free in TestSharedCloseJvmti.java, with added exception handling and logging for memory access violations to improve detectability and reporting. This change enhances robustness of the shared memory testing flow and reduces CI flakiness, laying groundwork for future memory-safety improvements.
