* The output n bits can receive more than n bits of min entropy, of course,
* but the fixed output of the conditioning function can only asymptotically
* approach the output size bits of min entropy, not attain that bound. Random
* maps will tend to have output collisions, which reduces the creditable
* output entropy (that is what SP 800-90B Section 3.1.5.1.2 attempts to bound).
*
* The value "64" is justified in Appendix A.4 of the current 90C draft,
* and aligns with NIST's in "epsilon" definition in this document, which is
* that a string can be considered "full entropy" if you can bound the min
* entropy in each bit of output to at least 1-epsilon, where epsilon is
* required to be <= 2^(-32).

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
