LINUX 7.1.5 AND 6.18.40 SHIP WITH UPSTREAM REBASES AND DRIVER FIXES

CachyOS dropped two kernel releases overnight, pulling in upstream stability patches and refining the apple-bce driver stack for T2 Macs.
Linux 7.1.5-1 rebased to upstream 7.1.5 [1] with block allocation fixes and AMD GPU corrections, while 6.18.40-1 synced to 6.18.40 [2] and landed the apple-bce driver for MacBook Pro support. Both landed in linux-cachyos [6] as 7.1.5-1 and 6.18.40-1. On the dashboard side, the public-dashboard shipped search UX improvements: autofocus on empty input and mouse-click submission [3], plus expanded source URL indexing to cachyos-aur-derived packages [4]. The CLI installer's gucc component picked up a new process spawning handler [5] to replace subprocess management and unify logging. Across all repos, 50 commits landed and 2 kernel releases shipped. In packaging, java-openjdk versions synced [7], [8], [9] alongside sqlite 3.53.4-1 [10] and openblas 0.3.34-1 [11]. The AUR-derived repo cycled through automated updates: claude-desktop 1.24012.9 [12], claude-code 2.1.220 [13], helium-browser 0.14.9.1 [14], and plasmazones 3.3.0 [15]. Wiki documentation landed a Japanese translation update [16] and chroot installation guidance improvements. Nothing broken. All steady.
