// tiny_header_box.h - Header Box: Single Source of Truth for Header Operations
//
// Design Principles:
//   1. All header logic flows from tiny_nextptr.h specification
//   2. Encapsulates "which classes preserve headers" knowledge
//   3. Eliminates hardcoded class_idx checks (class_idx != 7, etc.)
//   4. Provides type-safe header read/write/validate operations
//
// Background:
//   - C0 (8B): next_off=0 → header overwritten by next pointer
//   - C1-C6 (16B-1024B): next_off=1 → header preserved in freelist
//   - C7 (2048B): next_off=0 → header overwritten by next pointer
//
// Migration:
//   ❌ FORBIDDEN: class_idx != 7, class_idx == 0 || class_idx == 7
//   ❌ FORBIDDEN: *(uint8_t*)base = HEADER_MAGIC | ...
//   ✅ USE: tiny_class_preserves_header(class_idx)
//   ✅ USE: tiny_header_write_if_preserved(base, class_idx)
//   ✅ USE: tiny_header_validate(base, class_idx, ...)

// Core Predicate: Does this class preserve headers in freelist?
// ============================================================================
//
// This is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH for header preservation logic.
// All code must use this instead of hardcoded class_idx checks.
//
// Implementation:
//   - Delegates to tiny_next_off() to avoid duplicating logic
//   - next_off=0 → header overwritten by next pointer → false
//   - next_off!=0 → header preserved → true
//
// Returns:
//   true  - C1-C6: Header preserved at offset 0, next at offset 1
//   false - C0, C7: Header overwritten by next pointer at offset 0

// ============================================================================

//   - Pushing blocks to TLS SLL
//   - Moving blocks from freelist to TLS SLL
//   - Splicing chains into TLS SLL

// DO NOT use this for:

//   out_expect- [optional] Store expected header byte
//
// Returns:
//   true  - Header valid OR class doesn't preserve headers (C0/C7)
