  "account": "Pointer Stability Locks have been introduced to Zig's std.ArrayList containers in 2024. To ensure memory safety, add a call to lockPointers() when a pointer is stored in an ArrayList and unlockPointers() when those pointers are no longer needed. This technique now extends to std.ArrayList, providing a solution to pointer stability issues.",
