## Summary of Progress (November 25 – December 1)
This week, I worked on finalizing the global implementation of
`verrors=context` in the DMD compiler by updating tests and
resolving issues across platforms and adding a changelog for the
PR.
**PR**- feat(errors): make verrors=context global and update test
outputs [#17085](https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/17085)
### What I Worked On
- **Regex-Based Test Updates:**
- Manually updated over 30 test files with regex-based outputs
since they couldn’t be auto-updated.
- Spent extra time fixing the regex for files like
`fail_compilation/malformed_cmain.d` and ensured it worked
correctly.
- **Other Updates:**
- Investigating a `.sh` file to decide if it needs fixing or
can be excluded.
- Added a changelog to the PR to document the updates made so
far.
### Next Steps
- Finish fixing the remaining tests and try to complete the PR.
