7 hours	FreeBSD support via Linux compatibility mode	Irene Knapp
	this is done by setting the ABI version in the ELF header. many thanks to nortti for checking that things otherwise work, and validating that the approach makes sense in terms of FreeBSD's cultural expectations. Irenes don't have the ability to easily test this on our end, but this is an easy step that can improve compatibility. Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I3d55ed240c050839b8a11312f151d0809aef9031
3 days	print comments in the hex dump at the offsets labels point to	Irene Knapp

14 days	add some magic comment commands to reorder subitems more generally	Irene Knapp
	these are all fully working and debugged. they have been used in a principled attempt to get all the parameter orders in amd64.e correct, but that effort needs to be verified carefully, which it hasn't been, yet. a couple of missing magic comments in elf.e and execution.e were also added. Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Id4c48b121a71b4f945ee3718e14a06f07afd7304
2026-09-08	add support for more prettiness features in the hex-transform's output	Irene Knapp
	suffix comments can now have a negative length, which makes them cover a span anchored with the current point at its end rather than its start magic comments can now request the suppression of metadata entries that would otherwise be generated everything in elf.e has magic comments now Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I409982afdd346c2ecf91e4c24f96ca81f887b126
2026-09-07	add indentation and blank lines as magic-comment features	Irene Knapp
	the output is really starting to look like something! Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Ic41c8b1702d884ff89693a86d457af7cc752aa86
2026-09-07	implement magic hex-transform comments	Irene Knapp
	they work! that is, they show up in the output. to prove it, two of them are added to elf.e. they don't yet deal with substring parameters, and there's some formatting niceties to consider. Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I0a0f72e21ca023bf99287880d52b5a8dddbf8e34
2026-05-23	added a couple new instructions	Irene Knapp
	this turns out to be fairly involved. hex bootstrap can't come fast enough ;) Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Ide5d2207d745ad07c40d3c9f457cd6b491bfbcf0
2026-05-15	make the label transformation work all the way, no crashing	Irene Knapp
	the code doesn't quite run yet, that'll be a future CL Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I71e6a45127c1fc37906d902e36142c17afef2a21
2026-05-08	formatting changes	Irene Knapp
	Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Iba125ccfd005151822d31af050ea3b4e2907d853
2026-05-07	document labels.e; also clean up elf.e	Irene Knapp
	the documentation in labels.e is entirely new, synthesized from informal private discussions. this is also intended as a final pass to make sure all the comments and nuances in the ELF code from quine.asm are incorporated in elf.e. also this uses the new `L@'` and `L!'` facilities for terseness Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Ieabb2bb26f4b83260f0072dcdcd0950f9aa9fab2
2026-05-07	refactored the label code and ELF template into their own files	Irene Knapp
	nice, right? :) modular programming! :D Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I56dd219fd2147850a0bb5b4a8cb3f9760e787215
