| vs System | -95% | **+130%** | **BEATS System!** |

---

## 🎯 **Next Steps (Optional - Phase 2/3)**

### **Option A: Ship Phase 1 as-is** ⭐ **RECOMMENDED**
**Rationale**: 33.2M ops/s already beats System (14.2M) by 2.3x!
- No learning needed for excellent performance
- Simple, stable, debuggable
- Can add Phase 2/3 later if needed

**Action**:
1. Commit Phase 1 implementation
2. Run full benchmark suite
3. Update documentation
4. Production testing

### **Option B: Add Phase 2 (Metrics)**
**Goal**: Track hit rates for future optimization
**Effort**: 1 day
**Risk**: < 2% performance regression
**Value**: Visibility into hot classes

**Implementation**:
- Add TLS hit/miss counters
- Print stats at shutdown
- No performance impact (ifdef guarded)

### **Option C: Full Phase 3 (ACE Learning)**
**Goal**: Dynamic refill tuning based on workload
**Effort**: 2-3 days
**Risk**: Complexity, potential instability
**Value**: Adaptive optimization (diminishing returns)

**Recommendation**: Skip for now, Phase 1 performance is excellent

---

## 🎓 **Key Learnings**

### **User's Box Theory Insights**
> **"キャッシュ増やす時だけ学習させる、push して他のスレッドに任せる"**

This brilliant insight led to:
- Clean separation: Hot path (fast) vs Cold path (learning)
- Zero contention: Lock-free event queue
- Progressive enhancement: Phase 1 works standalone

### **Design Principles That Worked**
1. **Simple Front + Smart Back**: Hot path stays pristine
2. **Contract-First Design**: (A)-(D) contracts prevent mistakes
3. **Progressive Implementation**: Phase 1 delivers value independently
4. **Proven Patterns**: TLS freelist (like Tiny Phase 7), MPSC queue

### **What We Learned From Failures**
1. **Mutex in hot path = death**: 192K → 33M by removing mutex
2. **Over-engineering kills performance**: 5 cache layers → 1 TLS freelist
3. **Complexity hides bugs**: Box Theory makes invisible visible

+								**Status**: ✅ **MAJOR SUCCESS - Phase 1 COMPLETE**
 								**Priority**: CELEBRATE → Plan Phase 2
-												Fix: CRITICAL multi-threaded freelist/remote queue race condition

Root Cause:
===========
Freelist and remote queue contained the SAME blocks, causing use-after-free:

1. Thread A (owner): pops block X from freelist → allocates to user
2. User writes data ("ab") to block X
3. Thread B (remote): free(block X) → adds to remote queue
4. Thread A (later): drains remote queue → *(void**)block_X = chain_head
   → OVERWRITES USER DATA! 💥

The freelist pop path did NOT drain the remote queue first, so blocks could
be simultaneously in both freelist and remote queue.

Fix:
====
Add remote queue drain BEFORE freelist pop in refill path:

core/hakmem_tiny_refill_p0.inc.h:
  - Call _ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe() BEFORE trc_pop_from_freelist()
  - Add #include "superslab/superslab_inline.h"
  - This ensures freelist and remote queue are mutually exclusive

Test Results:
=============
BEFORE:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ❌ SEGV in seconds (freelist corruption)

AFTER:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ✅ 931,629 ops/s (1073 sec stable run)
  bench_random_mixed:        ✅ 1,020,163 ops/s (no crashes)

Evidence:
  - Fail-Fast logs showed next pointer corruption: 0x...6261 (ASCII "ab")
  - Single-threaded benchmarks worked (865K ops/s)
  - Multi-threaded Larson crashed immediately
  - Fix eliminates all crashes in both benchmarks

-												Phase 7-1 PoC: Region-ID Direct Lookup (+39%~+436% improvement!)

Implemented ultra-fast header-based free path that eliminates SuperSlab
lookup bottleneck (100+ cycles → 5-10 cycles).

## Key Changes

1. **Smart Headers** (core/tiny_region_id.h):
   - 1-byte header before each allocation stores class_idx
   - Memory layout: [Header: 1B] [User data: N-1B]
   - Overhead: <2% average (0% for Slab[0] using wasted padding)

2. **Ultra-Fast Allocation** (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h):
   - Write header at base: *base = class_idx
   - Return user pointer: base + 1

3. **Ultra-Fast Free** (core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h):
   - Read class_idx from header (ptr-1): 2-3 cycles
   - Push base (ptr-1) to TLS freelist: 3-5 cycles
   - Total: 5-10 cycles (vs 500+ cycles current!)

4. **Free Path Integration** (core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h):
   - Removed SuperSlab lookup from fast path
   - Direct header validation (no lookup needed!)

5. **Size Class Adjustment** (core/hakmem_tiny.h):
   - Max tiny size: 1023B (was 1024B)
   - 1024B requests → Mid allocator fallback

## Performance Results

| Size | Baseline | Phase 7 | Improvement |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| 128B | 1.22M | 6.54M | **+436%** 🚀 |
| 512B | 1.22M | 1.70M | **+39%** |
| 1023B | 1.22M | 1.92M | **+57%** |

## Build & Test

Enable Phase 7:
  make HEADER_CLASSIDX=1 bench_random_mixed_hakmem

Run benchmark:
  HAKMEM_TINY_USE_SUPERSLAB=1 ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 10000 128 1234567

## Known Issues

- 1024B requests fallback to Mid allocator (by design)
- Target 40-60M ops/s not yet reached (current: 1.7-6.5M)
- Further optimization needed (TLS capacity tuning, refill optimization)

## Changes

### 1. Hybrid mincore Optimization (317-634x faster)
**Problem**: `hak_is_memory_readable()` calls mincore() syscall on EVERY free
- Cost: 634 cycles/call
- Impact: 40x slower than System malloc

**Solution**: Check alignment BEFORE calling mincore()
- Step 1 (1-byte header): `if ((ptr & 0xFFF) == 0)` → only 0.1% call mincore
- Step 2 (16-byte header): `if ((ptr & 0xFFF) < HEADER_SIZE)` → only 0.4% call mincore
- Result: 634 → 1-2 cycles effective (99.6% skip mincore)

**Files**:
- core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h:53-71 - Step 1 hybrid check
- core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h:94-107 - Step 2 hybrid check
- core/hakmem_internal.h:281-312 - Performance warning added

### 2. HAK_RET_ALLOC Macro Fix (CRITICAL BUG)
**Problem**: Macro definition order prevented Phase 7 header write
- hakmem_tiny.c:130 defined legacy macro (no header write)
- tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h:67 had `#ifndef` guard → skipped!
- Result: Headers NEVER written → All frees failed → Slow path

**Solution**: Force Phase 7 macro to override legacy
- hakmem_tiny.c:119 - Added `#ifndef HAK_RET_ALLOC` guard
- tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h:69-72 - Added `#undef` before redefine

### 3. Magic Byte Fix
**Problem**: Release builds don't write magic byte, but free ALWAYS checks it
- Result: All headers marked as invalid

**Solution**: ALWAYS write magic byte (same 1-byte write, no overhead)
- tiny_region_id.h:50-54 - Removed `#if !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE` guard

## Technical Details

### Hybrid mincore Effectiveness
| Case | Frequency | Cost | Weighted |
|------|-----------|------|----------|
| Normal (Step 1) | 99.9% | 1-2 cycles | 1-2 |
| Page boundary | 0.1% | 634 cycles | 0.6 |
| **Total** | - | - | **1.6-2.6 cycles** |

**Improvement**: 634 → 1.6 cycles = **317-396x faster!**

### Macro Fix Impact
**Before**: HAK_RET_ALLOC(cls, ptr) → return (ptr)  // No header write
**After**: HAK_RET_ALLOC(cls, ptr) → return tiny_region_id_write_header((ptr), (cls))

**Result**: Headers properly written → Fast path works → +194-333% performance

## Investigation
Task Agent Ultrathink analysis identified:
1. mincore() syscall overhead (634 cycles)
2. Macro definition order conflict
3. Release/Debug build mismatch (magic byte)

+								### **Implementation Summary**
-												Perf: Phase 7-1.3 - Hybrid mincore + Macro fix (+194-333%)

## Summary
Fixed CRITICAL bottleneck (mincore overhead) and macro definition bug.
Result: 2-3x performance improvement across all benchmarks.

## Performance Results
- Larson 1T: 631K → 2.73M ops/s (+333%) 🚀
- bench_random_mixed (128B): 768K → 2.26M ops/s (+194%) 🚀
- bench_random_mixed (512B): → 1.43M ops/s (new)
- [HEADER_INVALID] messages: Many → ~Zero ✅

## Changes

### 1. Hybrid mincore Optimization (317-634x faster)
**Problem**: `hak_is_memory_readable()` calls mincore() syscall on EVERY free
- Cost: 634 cycles/call
- Impact: 40x slower than System malloc

**Solution**: Check alignment BEFORE calling mincore()
- Step 1 (1-byte header): `if ((ptr & 0xFFF) == 0)` → only 0.1% call mincore
- Step 2 (16-byte header): `if ((ptr & 0xFFF) < HEADER_SIZE)` → only 0.4% call mincore
- Result: 634 → 1-2 cycles effective (99.6% skip mincore)

**Files**:
- core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h:53-71 - Step 1 hybrid check
- core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h:94-107 - Step 2 hybrid check
- core/hakmem_internal.h:281-312 - Performance warning added

### 2. HAK_RET_ALLOC Macro Fix (CRITICAL BUG)
**Problem**: Macro definition order prevented Phase 7 header write
- hakmem_tiny.c:130 defined legacy macro (no header write)
- tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h:67 had `#ifndef` guard → skipped!
- Result: Headers NEVER written → All frees failed → Slow path

**Solution**: Force Phase 7 macro to override legacy
- hakmem_tiny.c:119 - Added `#ifndef HAK_RET_ALLOC` guard
- tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h:69-72 - Added `#undef` before redefine

### 3. Magic Byte Fix
**Problem**: Release builds don't write magic byte, but free ALWAYS checks it
- Result: All headers marked as invalid

**Solution**: ALWAYS write magic byte (same 1-byte write, no overhead)
- tiny_region_id.h:50-54 - Removed `#if !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE` guard

## Technical Details

### Hybrid mincore Effectiveness
| Case | Frequency | Cost | Weighted |
|------|-----------|------|----------|
| Normal (Step 1) | 99.9% | 1-2 cycles | 1-2 |
| Page boundary | 0.1% | 634 cycles | 0.6 |
| **Total** | - | - | **1.6-2.6 cycles** |

**Improvement**: 634 → 1.6 cycles = **317-396x faster!**

### Macro Fix Impact
**Before**: HAK_RET_ALLOC(cls, ptr) → return (ptr)  // No header write
**After**: HAK_RET_ALLOC(cls, ptr) → return tiny_region_id_write_header((ptr), (cls))

**Result**: Headers properly written → Fast path works → +194-333% performance

## Investigation
Task Agent Ultrathink analysis identified:
1. mincore() syscall overhead (634 cycles)
2. Macro definition order conflict
3. Release/Debug build mismatch (magic byte)

-												feat: Pool TLS Phase 1 - Lock-free TLS freelist (173x improvement, 2.3x vs System)

## Performance Results

Pool TLS Phase 1: 33.2M ops/s
System malloc:    14.2M ops/s
Improvement:      2.3x faster! 🏆

Before (Pool mutex): 192K ops/s (-95% vs System)
After (Pool TLS):    33.2M ops/s (+133% vs System)
Total improvement:   173x

## Implementation

**Architecture**: Clean 3-Box design
- Box 1 (TLS Freelist): Ultra-fast hot path (5-6 cycles)
- Box 2 (Refill Engine): Fixed refill counts, batch carving
- Box 3 (ACE Learning): Not implemented (future Phase 3)

**Files Added** (248 LOC total):
- core/pool_tls.h (27 lines) - TLS freelist API
- core/pool_tls.c (104 lines) - Hot path implementation
- core/pool_refill.h (12 lines) - Refill API
- core/pool_refill.c (105 lines) - Batch carving + backend

**Files Modified**:
- core/box/hak_alloc_api.inc.h - Pool TLS fast path integration
- core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h - Pool TLS free path integration
- Makefile - Build rules + POOL_TLS_PHASE1 flag

**Scripts Added**:
- build_hakmem.sh - One-command build (Phase 7 + Pool TLS)
- run_benchmarks.sh - Comprehensive benchmark runner

**Documentation Added**:
- POOL_TLS_LEARNING_DESIGN.md - Complete 3-Box architecture + contracts
- POOL_IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST.md - Phase 1-3 guide
- POOL_HOT_PATH_BOTTLENECK.md - Mutex bottleneck analysis
- POOL_FULL_FIX_EVALUATION.md - Design evaluation
- CURRENT_TASK.md - Updated with Phase 1 results

## Technical Highlights

1. **1-byte Headers**: Magic byte 0xb0 | class_idx for O(1) free
2. **Zero Contention**: Pure TLS, no locks, no atomics
3. **Fixed Refill Counts**: 64→16 blocks (no learning in Phase 1)
4. **Direct mmap Backend**: Bypasses old Pool mutex bottleneck

## Contracts Enforced (A-D)

- Contract A: Queue overflow policy (DROP, never block) - N/A Phase 1
- Contract B: Policy scope limitation (next refill only) - N/A Phase 1
- Contract C: Memory ownership (fixed ring buffer) - N/A Phase 1
- Contract D: API boundaries (no cross-box includes) ✅

+								**Contracts Enforced**:
 								- ✅ Contract D: Clean API boundaries, no cross-box includes
 								- ✅ No learning in hot path (stays pristine)
 								- ✅ Simple, readable, maintainable code
-												Perf: Phase 7-1.3 - Hybrid mincore + Macro fix (+194-333%)

## Summary
Fixed CRITICAL bottleneck (mincore overhead) and macro definition bug.
Result: 2-3x performance improvement across all benchmarks.

## Performance Results
- Larson 1T: 631K → 2.73M ops/s (+333%) 🚀
- bench_random_mixed (128B): 768K → 2.26M ops/s (+194%) 🚀
- bench_random_mixed (512B): → 1.43M ops/s (new)
- [HEADER_INVALID] messages: Many → ~Zero ✅

## Changes

### 1. Hybrid mincore Optimization (317-634x faster)
**Problem**: `hak_is_memory_readable()` calls mincore() syscall on EVERY free
- Cost: 634 cycles/call
- Impact: 40x slower than System malloc

**Solution**: Check alignment BEFORE calling mincore()
- Step 1 (1-byte header): `if ((ptr & 0xFFF) == 0)` → only 0.1% call mincore
- Step 2 (16-byte header): `if ((ptr & 0xFFF) < HEADER_SIZE)` → only 0.4% call mincore
- Result: 634 → 1-2 cycles effective (99.6% skip mincore)

**Files**:
- core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h:53-71 - Step 1 hybrid check
- core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h:94-107 - Step 2 hybrid check
- core/hakmem_internal.h:281-312 - Performance warning added

### 2. HAK_RET_ALLOC Macro Fix (CRITICAL BUG)
**Problem**: Macro definition order prevented Phase 7 header write
- hakmem_tiny.c:130 defined legacy macro (no header write)
- tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h:67 had `#ifndef` guard → skipped!
- Result: Headers NEVER written → All frees failed → Slow path

**Solution**: Force Phase 7 macro to override legacy
- hakmem_tiny.c:119 - Added `#ifndef HAK_RET_ALLOC` guard
- tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h:69-72 - Added `#undef` before redefine

### 3. Magic Byte Fix
**Problem**: Release builds don't write magic byte, but free ALWAYS checks it
- Result: All headers marked as invalid

**Solution**: ALWAYS write magic byte (same 1-byte write, no overhead)
- tiny_region_id.h:50-54 - Removed `#if !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE` guard

## Technical Details

### Hybrid mincore Effectiveness
| Case | Frequency | Cost | Weighted |
|------|-----------|------|----------|
| Normal (Step 1) | 99.9% | 1-2 cycles | 1-2 |
| Page boundary | 0.1% | 634 cycles | 0.6 |
| **Total** | - | - | **1.6-2.6 cycles** |

**Improvement**: 634 → 1.6 cycles = **317-396x faster!**

### Macro Fix Impact
**Before**: HAK_RET_ALLOC(cls, ptr) → return (ptr)  // No header write
**After**: HAK_RET_ALLOC(cls, ptr) → return tiny_region_id_write_header((ptr), (cls))

**Result**: Headers properly written → Fast path works → +194-333% performance

## Investigation
Task Agent Ultrathink analysis identified:
1. mincore() syscall overhead (634 cycles)
2. Macro definition order conflict
3. Release/Debug build mismatch (magic byte)

+. **1-byte Headers**: Magic byte `0xb0 | class_idx` for O(1) free
 . **Fixed Refill Counts**: 64→16 blocks (larger classes = fewer blocks)
 . **Direct mmap Backend**: Bypasses old Pool mutex bottleneck
 . **Zero Contention**: Pure TLS, no locks, no atomics
-												Fix: CRITICAL multi-threaded freelist/remote queue race condition

Root Cause:
===========
Freelist and remote queue contained the SAME blocks, causing use-after-free:

1. Thread A (owner): pops block X from freelist → allocates to user
2. User writes data ("ab") to block X
3. Thread B (remote): free(block X) → adds to remote queue
4. Thread A (later): drains remote queue → *(void**)block_X = chain_head
   → OVERWRITES USER DATA! 💥

The freelist pop path did NOT drain the remote queue first, so blocks could
be simultaneously in both freelist and remote queue.

Fix:
====
Add remote queue drain BEFORE freelist pop in refill path:

core/hakmem_tiny_refill_p0.inc.h:
  - Call _ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe() BEFORE trc_pop_from_freelist()
  - Add #include "superslab/superslab_inline.h"
  - This ensures freelist and remote queue are mutually exclusive

Test Results:
=============
BEFORE:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ❌ SEGV in seconds (freelist corruption)

AFTER:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ✅ 931,629 ops/s (1073 sec stable run)
  bench_random_mixed:        ✅ 1,020,163 ops/s (no crashes)

Evidence:
  - Fail-Fast logs showed next pointer corruption: 0x...6261 (ASCII "ab")
  - Single-threaded benchmarks worked (865K ops/s)
  - Multi-threaded Larson crashed immediately
  - Fix eliminates all crashes in both benchmarks

-												refactor: Guard SuperSlab expansion debug logs + Update CURRENT_TASK

## Changes

### 1. Debug Log Cleanup (Release Build Optimization)
**Files Modified:**
- `core/tiny_superslab_alloc.inc.h:183-234`
- `core/hakmem_tiny_superslab.c:567-618`

**Problem:**
- SuperSlab expansion logs flooded output (268+ lines per benchmark run)
- Massive I/O overhead masked true performance in benchmarks
- Production builds should not spam stderr

**Solution:**
- Guard all expansion logs with `#if !defined(NDEBUG) || defined(HAKMEM_SUPERSLAB_VERBOSE)`
- Debug builds: Logs enabled by default
- Release builds: Logs disabled (clean output)
- Can re-enable with `-DHAKMEM_SUPERSLAB_VERBOSE` for debugging

**Guarded Messages:**
- "SuperSlab chunk exhausted for class X, expanding..."
- "Successfully expanded SuperSlabHead for class X"
- "CRITICAL: Failed to expand SuperSlabHead..." (OOM)
- "Expanded SuperSlabHead for class X: N chunks now"

**Impact:**
- Release builds: Clean benchmark output (no log spam)
- Debug builds: Full visibility into expansion behavior
- Performance: No I/O overhead in production benchmarks

### 2. CURRENT_TASK.md Update
**New Focus:** ACE Investigation for Mid-Large Performance Recovery

**Context:**
- ✅ 100% stability achieved (commit 616070cf7)
- ✅ Tiny Hot Path: **First time beating BOTH System and mimalloc** (+48.5% vs System)
- 🔴 Critical issue: Mid-Large MT collapsed (-88% vs System)
- Root cause: ACE disabled → all allocations go to mmap (slow)

**Next Task:**
Task Agent to investigate ACE mechanism (Ultrathink mode):
1. Why is ACE disabled?
2. How does ACE improve Mid-Large performance?
3. Can we re-enable ACE to recover +171% advantage?
4. Implementation plan and risk assessment

**Benchmark Results:**
Comprehensive results saved to: `benchmarks/results/comprehensive_20251108_214317/`

---

## Testing

Verified clean build output:
```bash
make clean && make HEADER_CLASSIDX=1 AGGRESSIVE_INLINE=1 PREWARM_TLS=1 larson_hakmem
./larson_hakmem 1 1 128 1024 1 12345 1
# No expansion log spam in release build

-												Phase 7-1 PoC: Region-ID Direct Lookup (+39%~+436% improvement!)

Implemented ultra-fast header-based free path that eliminates SuperSlab
lookup bottleneck (100+ cycles → 5-10 cycles).

## Key Changes

1. **Smart Headers** (core/tiny_region_id.h):
   - 1-byte header before each allocation stores class_idx
   - Memory layout: [Header: 1B] [User data: N-1B]
   - Overhead: <2% average (0% for Slab[0] using wasted padding)

2. **Ultra-Fast Allocation** (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h):
   - Write header at base: *base = class_idx
   - Return user pointer: base + 1

3. **Ultra-Fast Free** (core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h):
   - Read class_idx from header (ptr-1): 2-3 cycles
   - Push base (ptr-1) to TLS freelist: 3-5 cycles
   - Total: 5-10 cycles (vs 500+ cycles current!)

4. **Free Path Integration** (core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h):
   - Removed SuperSlab lookup from fast path
   - Direct header validation (no lookup needed!)

5. **Size Class Adjustment** (core/hakmem_tiny.h):
   - Max tiny size: 1023B (was 1024B)
   - 1024B requests → Mid allocator fallback

## Performance Results

| Size | Baseline | Phase 7 | Improvement |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| 128B | 1.22M | 6.54M | **+436%** 🚀 |
| 512B | 1.22M | 1.70M | **+39%** |
| 1023B | 1.22M | 1.92M | **+57%** |

## Build & Test

Enable Phase 7:
  make HEADER_CLASSIDX=1 bench_random_mixed_hakmem

Run benchmark:
  HAKMEM_TINY_USE_SUPERSLAB=1 ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 10000 128 1234567

## Known Issues

- 1024B requests fallback to Mid allocator (by design)
- Target 40-60M ops/s not yet reached (current: 1.7-6.5M)
- Further optimization needed (TLS capacity tuning, refill optimization)

-												Fix: CRITICAL multi-threaded freelist/remote queue race condition

Root Cause:
===========
Freelist and remote queue contained the SAME blocks, causing use-after-free:

1. Thread A (owner): pops block X from freelist → allocates to user
2. User writes data ("ab") to block X
3. Thread B (remote): free(block X) → adds to remote queue
4. Thread A (later): drains remote queue → *(void**)block_X = chain_head
   → OVERWRITES USER DATA! 💥

The freelist pop path did NOT drain the remote queue first, so blocks could
be simultaneously in both freelist and remote queue.

Fix:
====
Add remote queue drain BEFORE freelist pop in refill path:

core/hakmem_tiny_refill_p0.inc.h:
  - Call _ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe() BEFORE trc_pop_from_freelist()
  - Add #include "superslab/superslab_inline.h"
  - This ensures freelist and remote queue are mutually exclusive

Test Results:
=============
BEFORE:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ❌ SEGV in seconds (freelist corruption)

AFTER:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ✅ 931,629 ops/s (1073 sec stable run)
  bench_random_mixed:        ✅ 1,020,163 ops/s (no crashes)

Evidence:
  - Fail-Fast logs showed next pointer corruption: 0x...6261 (ASCII "ab")
  - Single-threaded benchmarks worked (865K ops/s)
  - Multi-threaded Larson crashed immediately
  - Fix eliminates all crashes in both benchmarks

 . Commit Phase 1 implementation

-												Phase 7-1 PoC: Region-ID Direct Lookup (+39%~+436% improvement!)

Implemented ultra-fast header-based free path that eliminates SuperSlab
lookup bottleneck (100+ cycles → 5-10 cycles).

## Key Changes

1. **Smart Headers** (core/tiny_region_id.h):
   - 1-byte header before each allocation stores class_idx
   - Memory layout: [Header: 1B] [User data: N-1B]
   - Overhead: <2% average (0% for Slab[0] using wasted padding)

2. **Ultra-Fast Allocation** (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h):
   - Write header at base: *base = class_idx
   - Return user pointer: base + 1

3. **Ultra-Fast Free** (core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h):
   - Read class_idx from header (ptr-1): 2-3 cycles
   - Push base (ptr-1) to TLS freelist: 3-5 cycles
   - Total: 5-10 cycles (vs 500+ cycles current!)

4. **Free Path Integration** (core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h):
   - Removed SuperSlab lookup from fast path
   - Direct header validation (no lookup needed!)

5. **Size Class Adjustment** (core/hakmem_tiny.h):
   - Max tiny size: 1023B (was 1024B)
   - 1024B requests → Mid allocator fallback

## Performance Results

| Size | Baseline | Phase 7 | Improvement |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| 128B | 1.22M | 6.54M | **+436%** 🚀 |
| 512B | 1.22M | 1.70M | **+39%** |
| 1023B | 1.22M | 1.92M | **+57%** |

## Build & Test

Enable Phase 7:
  make HEADER_CLASSIDX=1 bench_random_mixed_hakmem

Run benchmark:
  HAKMEM_TINY_USE_SUPERSLAB=1 ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 10000 128 1234567

## Known Issues

- 1024B requests fallback to Mid allocator (by design)
- Target 40-60M ops/s not yet reached (current: 1.7-6.5M)
- Further optimization needed (TLS capacity tuning, refill optimization)

-												feat: Pool TLS Phase 1 - Lock-free TLS freelist (173x improvement, 2.3x vs System)

## Performance Results

Pool TLS Phase 1: 33.2M ops/s
System malloc:    14.2M ops/s
Improvement:      2.3x faster! 🏆

Before (Pool mutex): 192K ops/s (-95% vs System)
After (Pool TLS):    33.2M ops/s (+133% vs System)
Total improvement:   173x

## Implementation

**Architecture**: Clean 3-Box design
- Box 1 (TLS Freelist): Ultra-fast hot path (5-6 cycles)
- Box 2 (Refill Engine): Fixed refill counts, batch carving

**Files Added** (248 LOC total):
- core/pool_tls.h (27 lines) - TLS freelist API
- core/pool_tls.c (104 lines) - Hot path implementation
- core/pool_refill.h (12 lines) - Refill API
- core/pool_refill.c (105 lines) - Batch carving + backend

**Files Modified**:
- core/box/hak_alloc_api.inc.h - Pool TLS fast path integration

2. **Zero Contention**: Pure TLS, no locks, no atomics
3. **Fixed Refill Counts**: 64→16 blocks (no learning in Phase 1)
4. **Direct mmap Backend**: Bypasses old Pool mutex bottleneck

## Contracts Enforced (A-D)

+								### **Option B: Add Phase 2 (Metrics)**
 								**Goal**: Track hit rates for future optimization
 								**Effort**: 1 day
 								**Risk**: < 2% performance regression
 								**Value**: Visibility into hot classes
-												Fix: CRITICAL multi-threaded freelist/remote queue race condition

Root Cause:
===========
Freelist and remote queue contained the SAME blocks, causing use-after-free:

1. Thread A (owner): pops block X from freelist → allocates to user
2. User writes data ("ab") to block X
3. Thread B (remote): free(block X) → adds to remote queue
4. Thread A (later): drains remote queue → *(void**)block_X = chain_head
   → OVERWRITES USER DATA! 💥

The freelist pop path did NOT drain the remote queue first, so blocks could
be simultaneously in both freelist and remote queue.

Fix:
====
Add remote queue drain BEFORE freelist pop in refill path:

core/hakmem_tiny_refill_p0.inc.h:
  - Call _ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe() BEFORE trc_pop_from_freelist()
  - Add #include "superslab/superslab_inline.h"
  - This ensures freelist and remote queue are mutually exclusive

Test Results:
=============
BEFORE:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ❌ SEGV in seconds (freelist corruption)

AFTER:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ✅ 931,629 ops/s (1073 sec stable run)
  bench_random_mixed:        ✅ 1,020,163 ops/s (no crashes)

Evidence:
  - Fail-Fast logs showed next pointer corruption: 0x...6261 (ASCII "ab")
  - Single-threaded benchmarks worked (865K ops/s)
  - Multi-threaded Larson crashed immediately
  - Fix eliminates all crashes in both benchmarks

Files:
  - core/hakmem_tiny_refill_p0.inc.h: Add remote drain before freelist pop
  - CURRENT_TASK.md: Document fix details

-												Phase 7-1 PoC: Region-ID Direct Lookup (+39%~+436% improvement!)

Implemented ultra-fast header-based free path that eliminates SuperSlab
lookup bottleneck (100+ cycles → 5-10 cycles).

## Key Changes

1. **Smart Headers** (core/tiny_region_id.h):
   - 1-byte header before each allocation stores class_idx
   - Memory layout: [Header: 1B] [User data: N-1B]
   - Overhead: <2% average (0% for Slab[0] using wasted padding)

2. **Ultra-Fast Allocation** (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h):
   - Write header at base: *base = class_idx
   - Return user pointer: base + 1

3. **Ultra-Fast Free** (core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h):
   - Read class_idx from header (ptr-1): 2-3 cycles
   - Push base (ptr-1) to TLS freelist: 3-5 cycles
   - Total: 5-10 cycles (vs 500+ cycles current!)

4. **Free Path Integration** (core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h):
   - Removed SuperSlab lookup from fast path
   - Direct header validation (no lookup needed!)

5. **Size Class Adjustment** (core/hakmem_tiny.h):
   - Max tiny size: 1023B (was 1024B)
   - 1024B requests → Mid allocator fallback

## Performance Results

| Size | Baseline | Phase 7 | Improvement |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| 128B | 1.22M | 6.54M | **+436%** 🚀 |
| 512B | 1.22M | 1.70M | **+39%** |
| 1023B | 1.22M | 1.92M | **+57%** |

## Build & Test

Enable Phase 7:
  make HEADER_CLASSIDX=1 bench_random_mixed_hakmem

Run benchmark:
  HAKMEM_TINY_USE_SUPERSLAB=1 ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 10000 128 1234567

## Known Issues

- 1024B requests fallback to Mid allocator (by design)
- Target 40-60M ops/s not yet reached (current: 1.7-6.5M)
- Further optimization needed (TLS capacity tuning, refill optimization)

+								**Overall**: HAKMEM now **BEATS System malloc** in ALL major categories! 🎉
-												Perf: Phase 7-1.3 - Hybrid mincore + Macro fix (+194-333%)

## Summary
Fixed CRITICAL bottleneck (mincore overhead) and macro definition bug.
Result: 2-3x performance improvement across all benchmarks.

## Performance Results
- Larson 1T: 631K → 2.73M ops/s (+333%) 🚀
- bench_random_mixed (128B): 768K → 2.26M ops/s (+194%) 🚀
- bench_random_mixed (512B): → 1.43M ops/s (new)
- [HEADER_INVALID] messages: Many → ~Zero ✅

## Changes

### 1. Hybrid mincore Optimization (317-634x faster)
**Problem**: `hak_is_memory_readable()` calls mincore() syscall on EVERY free
- Cost: 634 cycles/call
- Impact: 40x slower than System malloc

**Solution**: Check alignment BEFORE calling mincore()
- Step 1 (1-byte header): `if ((ptr & 0xFFF) == 0)` → only 0.1% call mincore
- Step 2 (16-byte header): `if ((ptr & 0xFFF) < HEADER_SIZE)` → only 0.4% call mincore
- Result: 634 → 1-2 cycles effective (99.6% skip mincore)

**Files**:
- core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h:53-71 - Step 1 hybrid check
- core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h:94-107 - Step 2 hybrid check
- core/hakmem_internal.h:281-312 - Performance warning added

### 2. HAK_RET_ALLOC Macro Fix (CRITICAL BUG)
**Problem**: Macro definition order prevented Phase 7 header write
- hakmem_tiny.c:130 defined legacy macro (no header write)
- tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h:67 had `#ifndef` guard → skipped!
- Result: Headers NEVER written → All frees failed → Slow path

**Solution**: Force Phase 7 macro to override legacy
- hakmem_tiny.c:119 - Added `#ifndef HAK_RET_ALLOC` guard
- tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h:69-72 - Added `#undef` before redefine

### 3. Magic Byte Fix
**Problem**: Release builds don't write magic byte, but free ALWAYS checks it
- Result: All headers marked as invalid

**Solution**: ALWAYS write magic byte (same 1-byte write, no overhead)
- tiny_region_id.h:50-54 - Removed `#if !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE` guard

## Technical Details

### Hybrid mincore Effectiveness
| Case | Frequency | Cost | Weighted |
|------|-----------|------|----------|
| Normal (Step 1) | 99.9% | 1-2 cycles | 1-2 |
| Page boundary | 0.1% | 634 cycles | 0.6 |
| **Total** | - | - | **1.6-2.6 cycles** |

**Improvement**: 634 → 1.6 cycles = **317-396x faster!**

### Macro Fix Impact
**Before**: HAK_RET_ALLOC(cls, ptr) → return (ptr)  // No header write
**After**: HAK_RET_ALLOC(cls, ptr) → return tiny_region_id_write_header((ptr), (cls))

**Result**: Headers properly written → Fast path works → +194-333% performance

## Investigation
Task Agent Ultrathink analysis identified:
1. mincore() syscall overhead (634 cycles)
2. Macro definition order conflict
3. Release/Debug build mismatch (magic byte)

Full report: PHASE7_DESIGN_REVIEW.md (23KB, 758 lines)

-												Fix: CRITICAL multi-threaded freelist/remote queue race condition

Root Cause:
===========
Freelist and remote queue contained the SAME blocks, causing use-after-free:

1. Thread A (owner): pops block X from freelist → allocates to user
2. User writes data ("ab") to block X
3. Thread B (remote): free(block X) → adds to remote queue
4. Thread A (later): drains remote queue → *(void**)block_X = chain_head
   → OVERWRITES USER DATA! 💥

The freelist pop path did NOT drain the remote queue first, so blocks could
be simultaneously in both freelist and remote queue.

Fix:
====
Add remote queue drain BEFORE freelist pop in refill path:

core/hakmem_tiny_refill_p0.inc.h:
  - Call _ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe() BEFORE trc_pop_from_freelist()
  - Add #include "superslab/superslab_inline.h"
  - This ensures freelist and remote queue are mutually exclusive

Test Results:
=============
BEFORE:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ❌ SEGV in seconds (freelist corruption)

AFTER:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ✅ 931,629 ops/s (1073 sec stable run)
  bench_random_mixed:        ✅ 1,020,163 ops/s (no crashes)

Evidence:
  - Fail-Fast logs showed next pointer corruption: 0x...6261 (ASCII "ab")
  - Single-threaded benchmarks worked (865K ops/s)
  - Multi-threaded Larson crashed immediately
  - Fix eliminates all crashes in both benchmarks

+								### **Investigation Reports**
 								- `ACE_INVESTIGATION_REPORT.md` - ACE disabled issue (solved via TLS)
 								- `ACE_POOL_ARCHITECTURE_INVESTIGATION.md` - Three compounding issues
 								- `CENTRAL_ROUTER_BOX_DESIGN.md` - Central Router Box proposal
-												Phase 7-1 PoC: Region-ID Direct Lookup (+39%~+436% improvement!)

Implemented ultra-fast header-based free path that eliminates SuperSlab
lookup bottleneck (100+ cycles → 5-10 cycles).

## Key Changes

1. **Smart Headers** (core/tiny_region_id.h):
   - 1-byte header before each allocation stores class_idx
   - Memory layout: [Header: 1B] [User data: N-1B]
   - Overhead: <2% average (0% for Slab[0] using wasted padding)

2. **Ultra-Fast Allocation** (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h):
   - Write header at base: *base = class_idx
   - Return user pointer: base + 1

3. **Ultra-Fast Free** (core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h):
   - Read class_idx from header (ptr-1): 2-3 cycles
   - Push base (ptr-1) to TLS freelist: 3-5 cycles
   - Total: 5-10 cycles (vs 500+ cycles current!)

4. **Free Path Integration** (core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h):
   - Removed SuperSlab lookup from fast path
   - Direct header validation (no lookup needed!)

5. **Size Class Adjustment** (core/hakmem_tiny.h):
   - Max tiny size: 1023B (was 1024B)
   - 1024B requests → Mid allocator fallback

## Performance Results

| Size | Baseline | Phase 7 | Improvement |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| 128B | 1.22M | 6.54M | **+436%** 🚀 |
| 512B | 1.22M | 1.70M | **+39%** |
| 1023B | 1.22M | 1.92M | **+57%** |

## Build & Test

Enable Phase 7:
  make HEADER_CLASSIDX=1 bench_random_mixed_hakmem

Run benchmark:
  HAKMEM_TINY_USE_SUPERSLAB=1 ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 10000 128 1234567

## Known Issues

- 1024B requests fallback to Mid allocator (by design)
- Target 40-60M ops/s not yet reached (current: 1.7-6.5M)
- Further optimization needed (TLS capacity tuning, refill optimization)

-												Fix: CRITICAL multi-threaded freelist/remote queue race condition

Root Cause:
===========
Freelist and remote queue contained the SAME blocks, causing use-after-free:

1. Thread A (owner): pops block X from freelist → allocates to user
2. User writes data ("ab") to block X
3. Thread B (remote): free(block X) → adds to remote queue
4. Thread A (later): drains remote queue → *(void**)block_X = chain_head
   → OVERWRITES USER DATA! 💥

The freelist pop path did NOT drain the remote queue first, so blocks could
be simultaneously in both freelist and remote queue.

Fix:
====
Add remote queue drain BEFORE freelist pop in refill path:

core/hakmem_tiny_refill_p0.inc.h:
  - Call _ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe() BEFORE trc_pop_from_freelist()
  - Add #include "superslab/superslab_inline.h"
  - This ensures freelist and remote queue are mutually exclusive

Test Results:
=============
BEFORE:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ❌ SEGV in seconds (freelist corruption)

AFTER:
  larson_hakmem (4 threads): ✅ 931,629 ops/s (1073 sec stable run)
  bench_random_mixed:        ✅ 1,020,163 ops/s (no crashes)

Evidence:
  - Fail-Fast logs showed next pointer corruption: 0x...6261 (ASCII "ab")
  - Single-threaded benchmarks worked (865K ops/s)
  - Multi-threaded Larson crashed immediately
  - Fix eliminates all crashes in both benchmarks

Files:
  - core/hakmem_tiny_refill_p0.inc.h: Add remote drain before freelist pop
  - CURRENT_TASK.md: Document fix details

+								## 🎓 **Key Learnings**
 								### **User's Box Theory Insights**
 								> **"キャッシュ増やす時だけ学習させる、push して他のスレッドに任せる"**
 								This brilliant insight led to:
 								- Clean separation: Hot path (fast) vs Cold path (learning)
 								- Zero contention: Lock-free event queue
 								- Progressive enhancement: Phase 1 works standalone
-												Phase 7-1 PoC: Region-ID Direct Lookup (+39%~+436% improvement!)

Implemented ultra-fast header-based free path that eliminates SuperSlab
lookup bottleneck (100+ cycles → 5-10 cycles).

## Key Changes

1. **Smart Headers** (core/tiny_region_id.h):
   - 1-byte header before each allocation stores class_idx
   - Memory layout: [Header: 1B] [User data: N-1B]
   - Overhead: <2% average (0% for Slab[0] using wasted padding)

2. **Ultra-Fast Allocation** (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h):
   - Write header at base: *base = class_idx
   - Return user pointer: base + 1

3. **Ultra-Fast Free** (core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h):
   - Read class_idx from header (ptr-1): 2-3 cycles
   - Push base (ptr-1) to TLS freelist: 3-5 cycles
   - Total: 5-10 cycles (vs 500+ cycles current!)

4. **Free Path Integration** (core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h):
   - Removed SuperSlab lookup from fast path
   - Direct header validation (no lookup needed!)

5. **Size Class Adjustment** (core/hakmem_tiny.h):
   - Max tiny size: 1023B (was 1024B)
   - 1024B requests → Mid allocator fallback

## Performance Results

| Size | Baseline | Phase 7 | Improvement |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| 128B | 1.22M | 6.54M | **+436%** 🚀 |
| 512B | 1.22M | 1.70M | **+39%** |
| 1023B | 1.22M | 1.92M | **+57%** |

## Build & Test

Enable Phase 7:
  make HEADER_CLASSIDX=1 bench_random_mixed_hakmem

Run benchmark:
  HAKMEM_TINY_USE_SUPERSLAB=1 ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 10000 128 1234567

## Known Issues

- 1024B requests fallback to Mid allocator (by design)
- Target 40-60M ops/s not yet reached (current: 1.7-6.5M)
- Further optimization needed (TLS capacity tuning, refill optimization)

-												feat: Pool TLS Phase 1 - Lock-free TLS freelist (173x improvement, 2.3x vs System)

## Performance Results

Pool TLS Phase 1: 33.2M ops/s
System malloc:    14.2M ops/s
Improvement:      2.3x faster! 🏆

Before (Pool mutex): 192K ops/s (-95% vs System)
After (Pool TLS):    33.2M ops/s (+133% vs System)
Total improvement:   173x

## Implementation

**Architecture**: Clean 3-Box design
- Box 1 (TLS Freelist): Ultra-fast hot path (5-6 cycles)
- Box 2 (Refill Engine): Fixed refill counts, batch carving
- Box 3 (ACE Learning): Not implemented (future Phase 3)

**Files Added** (248 LOC total):
- core/pool_tls.h (27 lines) - TLS freelist API
- core/pool_tls.c (104 lines) - Hot path implementation
- core/pool_refill.h (12 lines) - Refill API
- core/pool_refill.c (105 lines) - Batch carving + backend

**Files Modified**:
- core/box/hak_alloc_api.inc.h - Pool TLS fast path integration
- core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h - Pool TLS free path integration
- Makefile - Build rules + POOL_TLS_PHASE1 flag

**Scripts Added**:
- build_hakmem.sh - One-command build (Phase 7 + Pool TLS)
- run_benchmarks.sh - Comprehensive benchmark runner

**Documentation Added**:
- POOL_TLS_LEARNING_DESIGN.md - Complete 3-Box architecture + contracts
- POOL_IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST.md - Phase 1-3 guide
- POOL_HOT_PATH_BOTTLENECK.md - Mutex bottleneck analysis
- POOL_FULL_FIX_EVALUATION.md - Design evaluation
- CURRENT_TASK.md - Updated with Phase 1 results

## Technical Highlights

1. **1-byte Headers**: Magic byte 0xb0 | class_idx for O(1) free
2. **Zero Contention**: Pure TLS, no locks, no atomics
3. **Fixed Refill Counts**: 64→16 blocks (no learning in Phase 1)
4. **Direct mmap Backend**: Bypasses old Pool mutex bottleneck

## Contracts Enforced (A-D)

- Contract A: Queue overflow policy (DROP, never block) - N/A Phase 1
- Contract B: Policy scope limitation (next refill only) - N/A Phase 1
- Contract C: Memory ownership (fixed ring buffer) - N/A Phase 1
- Contract D: API boundaries (no cross-box includes) ✅

+								### **Design Principles That Worked**
 . **Simple Front + Smart Back**: Hot path stays pristine
 . **Contract-First Design**: (A)-(D) contracts prevent mistakes
 . **Progressive Implementation**: Phase 1 delivers value independently
 . **Proven Patterns**: TLS freelist (like Tiny Phase 7), MPSC queue
 								### **What We Learned From Failures**
 . **Mutex in hot path = death**: 192K → 33M by removing mutex
 . **Over-engineering kills performance**: 5 cache layers → 1 TLS freelist
 . **Complexity hides bugs**: Box Theory makes invisible visible
