Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Memory Safety: Unsafe pointer conversions and incorrect address-of operations in 'std/unsafe' can lead to undefined behavior and memory corruption by treating local addresses as persistent pointers. Developers must use proper pointer-guarantee primitives rather than taking local variable addresses.
Memory Corruption: Incorrect pointer offset calculations (such as performing bitwise shifts instead of standard byte-offset indexing) in low-level runtime memory management code can lead to out-of-bounds heap corruption.
Sandbox Escape: Bypassing semantic unsafe-scope restrictions allows unsafe behavior (like casting bound types) to occur in safe blocks, defeating the compiler's safety guarantees. Semantic analysis rules must consistently reject these casts outside unsafe blocks.
