  Log Message:
  -----------
  Validate local overview backend state

Reject malformed expiration configuration, compressed OVDB values,
invalid search handles, and inconsistent tradindexed mappings and
records.

  Changed paths:
    M storage/timecaf/timecaf.c

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Reset timecaf resources after failed operations

Clear the cached writer after CAFStartWriteFd closes its descriptor,
and zero failed-read placeholders before later teardown.  mmap cleanup
now ignores placeholders without a mapping.

  Changed paths:
    M frontends/sys2nf.c

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Reserve sys2nf space for an unterminated line

A file without a trailing newline has one more entry than its newline
count; allocate for that entry and the terminating NULL.

see #371

  Changed paths:

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Reject Xref records without a group entry

The first cracked token is the Xref server name in the spool iterator.
Require a second token before using it as the canonical group and
article pair.

see #371

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Refill quoted escapes at config buffer boundaries

When a backslash is the last byte in the parser buffer, read the
escaped byte before inspecting it instead of advancing beyond the
allocation.  Add a regression test with the escape exactly on the
boundary.

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Bound array-backed configuration input

Use the caller supplied remaining length for array elements and
stop when lineno reaches the array count.  Teach teardown to handle
array-backed parsers and cover EOF and oversized continuations.

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Validate history hashes before decoding

Require all 32 hexadecimal digits and the closing bracket before
calling TextToHash or advancing through a hisv6 record.  Short
malformed lines can no longer be read past their terminator.

  Changed paths:
    M expire/expire.c

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Reject invalid expire storage classes

Parse class numbers with range and syntax checks and return on failure
before indexing EXPclasses.  The prior warning still fell through to an
out-of-range array index.

  Changed paths:
    M storage/expire.c

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Bound expire field splitting by capacity

Check capacity before every vector write, accept exactly full vectors,
and reject additional fields.  Empty or single-group installations can
no longer write past zero- or one-element arrays while parsing policies
or Xref data.

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Harden short stored article parsing

Keep wire header scans within the supplied extent, handle zero-length
input, validate archive Xref termination, and guard nnrpd terminator
suffix checks by article length.  Malformed or truncated stored
articles now fail safely.

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Validate buffindexed persistent block references

Check disk block counts and usage, physical block locations,
index-chain cycles and entry counts, and overview data spans before
mapping or returning them.  Grow the in-memory index incrementally so
corrupt group counts cannot request an arbitrary allocation.

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Harden tradindexed index and search ownership

Validate hash chains and freelist records before dereferencing them,
bound traversal cycles, and preserve cleanup on dump failures.  Close
expiration searches without freeing caller-owned data, avoid retrying
an indeterminate descriptor after close failure, and release utility
and audit owners on every exit.

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Harden stored article retrieval and CAF cleanup

Require complete reads, close descriptors on retrieval failures,
validate article sizes and CAF spans, and release CAF resources on
TOC and header-write errors.  Correct timecaf body offsets and give
RETR_STAT iteration results storage for their traversal state.
