Extending overseas stay beyond 6 months for spouse ?

I have question regarding extending stay for my wife beyond 6 months. Both of us have green card and I am working in US. What are the implications for extending her stay beyond 6 months ?

a) Is there any issue for immigration at the airport while coming back after staying for more than 6 months ? Does she expect normal inspection or secondary inspection ?

b) For stay between 6 months to a year, does it really create any issue for GC or it is only related to dealy in applying for citizenship ?

c) Does she has to carry any specific documents to validate her stay ? Are those documents needs to be certified or notarized ?

d) Does it break continuous residency test ? As I am still working and fulfilling all the requirements for continuous residency here, whether it breaks CR for her ? Does it impact CR for me as well ?

e) Does it create any issues when applying for the citizenship for her and for me together ? Is it true that in worst case scenario, she has to wait for additional six months before applying for the citizenship and I can still go ahead on my schedule time.

Thanx in advance…
