April 2026 DragonOS monthly summary: Implemented and stabilized mount namespace pivot_root support and namespace handling, with path rewrites and rebinding of root and cwd after namespace switches. Added comprehensive C unit tests for pivot_root behavior addressing synchronization issues in mount propagation and namespace copying. Fixed propagation synchronization and copy_mnt_ns alignment bugs, and expanded test coverage to validate shared mount rejection, namespace isolation, and dual pivot scenarios. Refactor: pivot_test moved to dunitest, improving test maintainability and automation. Overall, this work improves container isolation, reliability, and deployment safety, with broader test coverage and stronger resilience against namespace-related edge cases.

July 2025: DragonOS delivered a new feature to surface per-process TTY information in the /proc data display. The display now shows the TTY name or 'none' when a process has no TTY, improving debugging and monitoring capabilities. This was implemented via commit a63fac831f7dcbfd17cca9d052d8e26aaae08a2f and integrated into the existing data path. No major bugs were reported this month; focus was on feature completeness and data accuracy. Business impact: faster root-cause analysis of process-related issues and improved observability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Linux /proc data parsing, data path integration, robust handling of missing data, and commit-driven development.
