Merging LLVM bitcode too early throws away structure you may want later.

rllvm 0.5 now treats whole-program bitcode as one possible output: acquire modules, catalog provenance, select what matters, then materialize.

Whole-program LLVM bitcode generation sounds simple until you try it on a real codebase. I ran into this years ago while doing program analysis, which led me to build rllvm in Rust and later rules_rllvm for Bazel.
Wrote up the approaches + trade-offs here:

Starting cairn, a Rust archive of CVE reproductions, for personal learning.

Stone #1: Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431). Rust port of @theori_io's PoC, reproduced on both aarch64 and x86_64.

@bcherny There is a plugin called “superpowers” https://t.co/vM39PBBzh7, which works quite well in writing implementation plan, implementation, and code review.
