Here is some information that could be used to update a couple of LifeWiki articles.
I'm not actually clear where the information should go. The following is only a suggestion. Perhaps a new article would be better (e.g., 'eater spaceship' or 'enzyme'). Feel free to improve or correct the wording and examples, and format it appropriately.
For edge-repair spaceship:
--------------------------
In 2024 Keith Amling improved diagonal c/4 technology by creating spaceships which have the ability to delete or modify objects as they pass by. These are engineered edge-repair spaceships which are reminiscent of enzymes. They have an active site which is specific to a particular reaction, and the rest of the ship is just there to support it.
The first of these new ships was a block-eater spaceship [1]. This is shown here demonstrating its perfect diagonal clearance, such that
it ignores blocks placed one half-diagonal further away than the ones that it consumes.

Blinker eaters were also found. This is the first blinker eater with perfect diagonal clearance [2].

The blinker eater above cannot consume traffic lights because of the different parity of the blinkers. But a larger spaceship was found which is able to eat both parities, but with a not quite perfect clearance [3].

Keith Amling also found several new edge-repair spaceships for c/3 technology. For example, deleting a block previously required a pair of edge-repair-1 ships, but now a single spaceship is able delete a block one-sided with perfect clearance [6].
