 ## Introduction
 
-This document specifies the requirements for adding allocation age tracking to the malloc_free tool. The allocation age tracking feature will help distinguish between true memory leaks (old unfreed allocations) and normal memory usage (recent allocations that may be freed soon). This addresses the core challenge of determining whether unfreed memory represents a leak or legitimate temporary allocation.
