September 2025 — apple/swift-system: Hardened Stat metadata access with a major bug fix and documentation improvements. Refined initialization semantics for Stat and related types, renamed constants, and adjusted time-property handling to reflect platform nuances. Documentation reorganized for the system-stat proposal, including moving NNNN-system-stat.md into Proposals. Created a Proposals directory to support ongoing design reviews. This work enhances API clarity, cross-platform correctness, and contributor onboarding, backed by focused commits addressing reviewer feedback.
