// hakmem_tiny_metadata.inc
// Phase 6-1.6: Metadata-Based Fast Path (SKELETON - WIP)
//
// ⚠️ STATUS: Framework committed, full implementation pending
// ✅ DONE: Fast path alloc/free with metadata header
// ⏳ TODO: Refill logic to allocate +8 bytes for header
// ⏳ TODO: Slow path to initialize metadata
// ⏳ TODO: Mid/L25/Whale pool integration
//
// Design: Store 8-byte header before each allocation
// - pool_type: Which pool owns this (Tiny=0, Mid=1, L25=2, Whale=3)
// - size_class: Size class index (0-7 for Tiny)
// - magic: Validation (0xABCD)
// - alloc_size: Original requested size (for realloc/debugging)
//
// Memory overhead: ~6-12% for typical workloads
// Performance gain: 2x (eliminates alignment guessing overhead)
//
// Key advantage: Extends to ALL pools (Tiny/Mid/L25/Whale)
// - Eliminates hak_pool_mid_lookup() (12% CPU)
// - Eliminates registry lookups (10% CPU)
// - Enables instant pool type detection (1 load instruction)
