## Summary of Progress (December 2 – December 8)
This week, I worked on resolving platform-specific issues and
finalizing the implementation of `verrors=context`, ensuring it
works globally across all supported systems. I also addressed a
buffer issue in the `splitLines` implementation and completed the
pending work on the associated PR.
**PR:** feat(errors): make verrors=context global and update test
outputs [#17085](https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/17085)
### What I Worked On
**Platform-Specific Issues Resolved:**
- **macOS:** Resolved all macOS-based failed targets, ensuring
platform compatibility.
- **Windows:** Worked on and fixed the remaining failed targets
for Windows.
**Buffer Issue in `splitLines`:**
- Encountered a buffer-related unit test failure in
`compiler/src/dmd/root/string`.
- Fixed the issue by validating indices properly and handling
edge cases in the `splitLines` implementation.
- Changes are included in the same PR.
**Finalizing the PR:**
- Completed all pending tasks for the PR.
- Ensured that `verrors=context` now works globally, similar to
other compilers.
### Next Steps
- Address any feedback or suggestions provided for the PR.
- Work on any additional tasks that may arise during the review
process.
With the PR completed, the compiler is now equipped to use
`verrors=context` globally.
