Summary
Works primarily on build infrastructure and static-analysis tooling across the tree — CMake/unified-sources configuration, prefix-header and include-hygiene work for build speed, and the `analyze-safer-cpp` at-desk SaferCPP evaluation flow — which is why the component spread covers Platform, WebCore, WTF, and JSC without concentrating in any single engine subsystem. Direct memory-safety work is sparse and incidental (a null dereference in the speech synthesis path, an InspectorCanvasAgent enable regression) rather than the result of targeted bug hunting; the SaferCPP uncounted-pointer cleanups in WebCore are analyzer-driven rather than exploit-driven. The audit angle is indirect: the unified-build and prefix-header expansions change which translation units see which declarations, so re-landed CMake regressions in this series are worth diffing for inlining and initialization-order behavior that shifted with them.
