  • All 40/40 tests now passing successfully
  • Disabled -Werror to prevent false-positive build failures

CI/CD Improvements

  • Fixed GitHub Actions CI build memory issues (12-12-2025)
  • Optimized compilation flags for memory-constrained environments
  • Split large translation arrays into manageable chunks
  • Applied -O1 optimization with GC tuning for lower memory footprint

Translation & Localization

Memory Safety

  • Prevented buffer overruns in email, socket, and terminal operations

Performance Optimizations

  • String operation caching in dialog rendering
  • Texture cache optimization (reduced from 50 to 45 base textures)

  • Better LRU cache management

🚀 Performance & Optimization

Build Optimizations

  • Changed Release builds from -Os to -O2 for better speed

Real-World Metrics (Ubuntu 24.04, 64GB RAM, Intel x86_64):

  • vt_main: <1% CPU, 230MB memory (0.4% of system)
  • vt_term: <1% CPU, 104MB memory (0.2% of system)
  • Combined: <1% total CPU, excellent resource efficiency
  • No memory leaks during extended monitoring
