## Architectural & Systems Analysis
From an offensive security, vulnerability mitigation, and systems audit perspective:

- **Exploit Vector Analysis:** Evaluates unprivileged user namespaces, buffer boundaries, or cryptographic flaws.
- **Kernel Patch Hardening:** Kernel and compiler level guards (KASLR, CFI, stack canaries) mitigate weaponized exploitation.
- **Supply Chain Verification:** Highlights why signed SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) and reproducible builds are mandatory.
