Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for Lind-wasm: focused on improving test coverage and reliability by unskipping previously skipped tests (flock.c) and removing non-deterministic tests from the skip list. This directly strengthens CI feedback, reduces flaky failures, and increases confidence in wasm build changes.

Jan 1, 2026Concise monthly summary for 2026-01 (Lind-Project/lind-wasm). Key outcomes focus on reliability improvements, WASI compatibility, and improved guidance for sysdep workflows. Key features delivered: - Documentation: WebAssembly sysdep file generation guidance updated to explicitly discuss manual generation and replacing auto-generated assembly with C implementations for i386 sysdeps. Major bugs fixed: - Build system stability: Disable the Name Service Cache Daemon (nscd) during the libc build to resolve resolver conflicts and improve build reliability. Commit 3533a06d018fc03292e46c3463d0a8d98687a96a (#598) - WASI environment initialization: Initialize cageid in libc before crt1.c execution to ensure proper address translation. Commit c9edcf8a7a347f158946ee6ddbe0093c40206b4d (#619) - WASI timestamp handling: Update stat time structure for wasm to handle file timestamps correctly. Commit 58ad4a48a11ef42a62d54b6b8b84d86a50434e9f (#659) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased build reliability and WASI readiness across the Lind-wasm component, reducing flaky builds and improving cross-environment consistency. Clear guidance for sysdep generation reduces onboarding time and potential human errors, enabling smoother maintenance and future work. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Build-system tuning and reliability improvements (nscd-related changes) - C/libc internals and WASI integration (cageid init, stat time struct updates) - WebAssembly/WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) familiarity - Technical documentation and change-tracking practices (commit references)
