Hi Nikos & Vissarion, I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to share an update on my GSoC 2026 application progress for the Python Bindings project. I've completed my initial proposal draft and would greatly appreciate your feedback proposal-initial-draft <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LTSjmkl0uoTBjxqp8199hJaT1bHl3LhliKFYjAO6cKE/edit?usp=sharing> . Also, while investigating the codebase to understand the architecture, I identified a memory leak in src/apothesis.cpp: In Apothesis::init(), Process objects are dynamically allocated with "new" and stored as keys in "m_processMap", but they're never freed in the destructor. This causes memory leaks on every simulation run. So, can I work on this issue? Thanks, Doaa Magdy.
