Pull request overview

This PR updates the GSoC ideas doc by reclassifying the difficulty of the BSD port idea and adding a new idea focused on advanced fuzzing and image injection to improve robustness of the kernel and erofs-utils.

Changes:

  • Update difficulty rating for “Porting EROFS to BSD Kernels (FreeBSD Focus)” from medium to hard.
  • Add a new GSoC idea: “Advanced Fuzzing and image injection for the kernel and erofs-utils”.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
