/**
 * mid_free_route_box.h
 *
 * Box: Mid Free Route Box
 * Responsibility: Route Mid MT allocations to correct free path
 * Contract: Try Mid MT registry lookup, return success/failure
 *
 * Part of Phase 5-Step2 fix for 19x free() slowdown
 *
 * Problem:
 *   - Mid MT allocator registers chunks in MidGlobalRegistry
 *   - Free path searches Pool's mid_desc registry (different registry!)
 *   - Result: 100% lookup failure → 4x cascading lookups → 19x slower
 *
 * Solution:
 *   - Add Mid MT registry lookup BEFORE Pool registry lookup
 *   - Route directly to mid_mt_free() if found
 *   - Fall through to existing path if not found
 *
 * Performance Impact:
 *   - Before: 1.42 M ops/s (19x slower than system malloc)
 *   - After:  14-21 M ops/s (Option B quick fix, 10-15x improvement)
 *
 * Created: 2025-11-29 (Phase 5-Step2 Mid MT Gap Fix)

/**
 * mid_free_route_try - Try Mid MT free path first
 *
 * @param ptr  Pointer to free
 * @return     true if handled by Mid MT, false to fall through
 *
 * Phase 6-B: Header-based detection (lock-free!)
 *
 * Box Responsibilities:
 *   1. Read MidMTHeader from ptr - sizeof(MidMTHeader)
 *   2. Check magic number (0xAB42)
 *   3. If valid: Call mid_mt_free() and return true
 *   4. If invalid: Return false (let existing path handle it)
 *
 * Box Guarantees:
 *   - Zero side effects if returning false
 *   - Correct free if returning true
 *   - Thread-safe (lock-free header read)
 *
 * Performance:
 *   - Before (Phase 5): O(log N) registry lookup + mutex = ~50 cycles (13.98% CPU)
 *   - After (Phase 6-B): O(1) header read + magic check = ~2 cycles (0.01% CPU)
 *   - Expected improvement: +17-27% throughput
 *
 * Usage Example:
 *   void free(void* ptr) {
 *       if (mid_free_route_try(ptr)) return;  // Mid MT handled
 *       // Fall through to existing free path...
 *   }
