Summary
Works almost exclusively on WebKit accessibility, concentrated in WebCore's AX object model and the Cocoa platform wrappers — text markers and text marker ranges, line/index parameterized attributes, and isolated-tree update ordering. No security-classified or hardening commits; the pattern is API surface expansion (AXIndexForTextMarker, AXRelativeIndexForTextMarker, IntersectTextMarkerRanges) alongside a recurring class of boundary bugs: truncated marker ranges, mishandled trailing newlines in textarea line APIs, and notifications posted before the isolated tree is current. Where to look next: the text marker range and stitch-group code paths, where several fixes this period involved off-by-one range computation and stale isolated-tree state — both classic preconditions for use-after-free and out-of-bounds reads in AX serialization.
