+# Appendices
+
+These notes supplement the numbered compiler snapshots; they do not introduce
+another compiler directory.
+
+- [Native library construction](native-libraries.md): bundled `sys`, native
+ symbols and thunks, runtime support, and executable examples in Chapter 28b.
+- [Optimizer and backend tuning](optimizer-tuning.md): spill ranking,
+ rematerialization, inlining, and historical measurements from the split's
+ original snapshots. [Measurement methods](../regalloc-spills.md) describe
+ what those numbers include.
+
+The [roadmap](../roadmap.md), [incremental build design](../incremental-builds.md),
+and [review queue](../chapter-backports.md) distinguish future work from current
+behavior. The [stage audit](../stage-audit.md) records known limits and cleanup.
