Review Summary

Reviewed `src/aead/chacha/fallback.rs`, which is a straightforward in-process ChaCha20 fallback cipher implementation: it derives the ChaCha state from the key/counter, generates keystream blocks, and XORs them into the input/output buffer. I found no concrete indicators of install hooks, network or exfiltration behavior, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, or other supply-chain compromise signals in this file. Reviewed `src/cpu/arm/linux.rs`, which contains Linux ARM/AArch64 hardware-feature detection using `getauxval` and compile-time cfg gating. I found no concrete indicators of install hooks, network or exfiltration behavior, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, or persistence in this file. Reviewed `crypto/fipsmodule/bn/montgomery_inv.c`, which is a small constant-time Montgomery modular inverse helper with assertions and arithmetic only. I checked for install hooks, network or exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, and other hidden payload behavior, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in the file. Reviewed `src/polyfill/cstr.rs`, which is a small Apple/aarch64-specific `CStr` polyfill and test module that validates nul-terminated byte slices and exposes a pointer cast helper. I found no concrete indicators of install hooks, network or exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, or other hidden payload behavior in this file. Reviewed `src/polyfill.rs`, which contains small numeric conversion polyfills, conditional module declarations, and a unit test for saturated usize conversion. I checked for install-time hooks, network or exfiltration code, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, and other hidden execution paths; none are present in this file.
