Research direction

The issue is a broad checklist of missing C standard-library headers and features, with no source files, tests, or entry points named. Start by selecting one narrowly scoped unchecked header and checking its dependencies, especially the items noted as requiring additional M2-Planet implementation. Done should be defined for that specific header or feature rather than the entire checklist.
