Documentation ended at Linux 6.8 (2024) with placeholder content in research directories. Updated timeline through 6.13+ and added substantive research materials.

Timeline Updates

  • Extended docs/02-history.md with Linux 6.8-6.13+ releases (2024-2026)
  • Updated community reception section to reflect current state
  • Added appropriate disclaimers for statistics and preliminary observations
  • Updated docs/08-resources.md chronological links and timestamps

New Research Content

Research Notes (research/notes/):

  • Memory safety impact analysis with preliminary security observations

Academic References (research/references/):

  • 10+ papers covering memory safety, kernel security, OS design, formal verification
  • Full citations with abstracts and relevance explanations

Code Examples (research/snippets/):

  • Minimal kernel module demonstrating basic structure
  • FFI example showing Rust-to-C interop with safety patterns
  • Index for navigation

Documentation Enhancements

  • Restructured ROADMAP.md with 6 detailed phases, research areas, and timeline tracking
  • Enhanced README.md with 2026 status and complete documentation index
  • Added .lycheeignore entries for academic publishers

Code Corrections

Fixed snippets to use kernel-appropriate patterns:

  • Changed std::ptrcore::ptr (kernel has no std)
  • Updated FFI printk example to use proper C format strings
  • Replaced hardcoded struct size assertions with architecture-agnostic checks
