Summary

Works primarily on the GPU-facing graphics stack: WebGPU and WebGL, ANGLE's Metal backend, and the WebCore/GPU-process image pipeline (ImageBuffer, NativeImage, PixelFormat, IOSurface pooling, DisplayList recording). The security fixes cluster almost entirely in ANGLE state validation and the RemoteGraphicsContextGL/RemoteRenderingBackend IPC boundary — unvalidated active program in ResumeTransformFeedback, element-limit staleness after a format-only VertexAttribPointer change, a dangling occlusion-query pointer on allocation failure, uninitialized FastMalloc disclosure via readPixelsInline, and cross-backend data leakage through SerializedImageBuffer — with no hardening-classified work alongside them, so the pattern is bug-driven rather than mitigation-driven. Systematic-variant candidate: EnsureLoopForwardProgress has been patched more than once for loop forms it fails to cover (nested initializers and expressions, unsigned tautology compares), and the parallel "inconsistent validation across DrawElements variations" fix suggests the Metal backend's per-entrypoint validation is worth sweeping as a family; the concurrent churn in cross-process image handoff is fresh surface in the same area that produced the SerializedImageBuffer leak.
