Monthly summary for 2024-11 focusing on chipsalliance/caliptra-sw. Delivered inline assembly-based cfi_launder optimization and introduced a Launder derive macro to broaden type support. This work preserves runtime values against compiler optimizations for common types (e.g., u32), with potential improvements in code size and performance, and lays groundwork for expanding type coverage via the derive macro.
