+**Fix zlib chicken-and-egg: bootstrap host libz.so.1 into chroot before building**
+
+### Changes:
+- Updated `023a-chroot-build-all.sh`: Before entering the chroot, copies the host
+  system's `libz.so.1` into `$LFS/usr/lib/`. This breaks the circular dependency:
+  ld needs libz.so.1 → can't link without it → can't build zlib without linking.
+  The temporary copy lets ld work, so zlib's configure tests pass, and the real
+  zlib build (024a-zlib.sh) replaces the temporary copy with a proper one.
+
+### Plan deviation/changes:
+- None
+
+### What is missing/needs polish:
+- The host-copied libz.so.1 is a temporary hack. It gets replaced by the real
+  zlib build immediately. If the host doesn't have zlib, the user needs to
+  install it first (pacman -S zlib on Arch).

 **Add zlib build to chroot phase — ld needs libz.so.1 at runtime**
