Short technical notes from building Port42: what broke, why, and the workaround. Each one names the commit.

On macOS, asking a TCP socket who is connected can tell you it's root

LOCAL_PEERCRED on a TCP socket returns success and writes nothing. Zero the struct first and both sanity checks pass on uid 0.

A one-word answer from Claude Code cost 56 times more on default settings than with tools off

We measured claude -p before using it from a script. Default flags load the whole agent harness, about 23,000 tokens, for the word OK.

CI built the kernel on both platforms, dropping any file that failed. Windows didn't lose a single file that Linux kept.
