* Enhanced ptrace usability by enabling transient PT_ATTACH behavior.
This reduces friction for debugging tools and eliminates spurious EINTR errors that could interrupt or break tracing workflows.
* kqueue introspection support by extending man:procstat[1] to report kqueue state, improving observability into how processes use kernel event notification mechanisms
-* Design and implementation of EXTERROR, a kernel-level flag mechanism that signals when extended error information is available.
+* Design and implementation of EXTERROR, a mechanism that reports extended error information to userspace, augmenting the usual errno value.
This enables applications to retrieve more detailed diagnostics beyond standard error codes.
