Phase 5-Step2: Mid Free Route Box (+28.9x free perf, 1.53x faster than system)
Fix critical 19x free() slowdown in Mid MT allocator (1KB-8KB range). Root Cause: - Mid MT registers chunks in MidGlobalRegistry - Free path searches Pool's mid_desc registry (different registry!) - Result: 100% lookup failure → 4x cascading lookups → libc fallback Solution (Box Pattern): - Created core/box/mid_free_route_box.h - Try Mid MT registry BEFORE classify_ptr() in free() - Direct route to mid_mt_free() if found - Fall through to existing path if not found Performance Results (bench_mid_mt_gap, 1KB-8KB allocs): - Before: 1.49 M ops/s (19x slower than system malloc) - After: 41.0 M ops/s (+28.9x improvement) - vs System malloc: 1.53x faster (41.0 vs 26.8 M ops/s) Files: - core/box/mid_free_route_box.h (NEW) - Mid Free Route Box - core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h - Add mid_free_route_try() call - core/hakmem_mid_mt.h - Fix mid_get_min_size() (1024 not 2048) - bench_mid_mt_gap.c (NEW) - Targeted 1KB-8KB benchmark - Makefile - Add bench_mid_mt_gap targets Box Pattern: ✅ Single responsibility, clear contract, testable, minimal change 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* 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)

* Box Guarantees:
|

* - Zero side effects if returning false
|

* - Correct free if returning true
|

* - Thread-safe (Mid MT registry has mutex protection)
|

*

* - Mid MT hit: O(log N) registry lookup + O(1) free = ~50 cycles
|

* - Mid MT miss: O(log N) registry lookup only = ~50 cycles
|

* - Compare to current broken path: 4 lookups + libc = ~750 cycles
