 # 2024-10-21 Triage Log
 
-TODO: Summary
-
-Triage done by **@???**.
+Some tidy improvements from switching to next generation trait solver
+(solely for coherence checking) and from simplifying our dataflow
+analysis framework. There were some binary size regressions associated
+with PR 126557 (adding `#[track_caller]` to allocating methods of
+`Vec` and `VecDeque`), which I have handed off to T-libs to choose
+whether to investigate further.
+
+Triage done by **@pnkfelix**.

+* improvements are spread across html5ever, serde, cargo, libc, diesel, and bitmaps.
+* wow. I'm surprised `GenKillAnalysis` is a pessimization
+* (maybe this is a sign that our basic blocks tend to hold a small number of instructions...?)
+* anyway, overall amazing work.
