MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Add resolveNativeFrameForWalkVM helper to profiler.h/cpp - Patch walkVM to use remote symbolication at native frame resolution point - Remove broken applyRemoteSymbolicationToVMFrames function - Add lock_index parameter to all walkVM signatures via patching.gradle - Update stackWalker_dd.h wrappers to pass lock_index - Remove dead non-const operator[] from codeCache.h - Add alignment check for ELF program headers in symbols_linux_dd.cpp 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

- walkFP/walkDwarf return raw PCs, converted by `convertNativeTrace()` + - walkVM/walkVMX directly call `resolveNativeFrameForWalkVM()` at native frame resolution point + - No post-processing or

compatibility and robust error handling.
