+
+**Date**: 2025-12-13
+**Status**: Phase 3 D1/D2 Validation Complete
+**Decision**: D1 PROMOTED TO DEFAULT, D2 FROZEN
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Phase 3 has been successfully completed with comprehensive validation of D1 (Free Route Cache) and D2 (Wrapper Env Cache). D1 showed strong, consistent gains in 20-run validation and has been promoted to the MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset default. D2 showed regression and has been frozen as a research box.
+
+### Key Results
+
+- **D1 (Free Route Cache)**: +2.19% mean, +2.37% median → ADOPTED
+- **D2 (Wrapper Env Cache)**: -1.44% regression → FROZEN
+- **Cumulative Phase 2-3 Gains**: ~7.6% (B3 + B4 + C3 + D1)
+- **Baseline Phase 3**: 46.04M ops/s (Mixed, 10-run)
+
+---
+
+## Timeline: Phase 2 → Phase 3 Journey
+
+### Phase 2: Structural Changes
+
+#### B3: Routing Branch Shape (+2.89%)
+- **Status**: ✅ ADOPTED
+- **Implementation**: `HAKMEM_TINY_ALLOC_ROUTE_SHAPE=1`
+- **Strategy**: LIKELY on LEGACY (hot), cold helper for rare routes
+- **Results**: Mixed +2.89%, C6-heavy +9.13%
+- **Impact**: Improved branch prediction for common allocation paths
+
+#### B4: Wrapper Hot/Cold Split (+1.47%)
+- **Status**: ✅ ADOPTED
+- **Implementation**: `HAKMEM_WRAP_SHAPE=1`
+- **Strategy**: noinline,cold helpers for rare checks (LD mode, jemalloc, diagnostics)
+- **Results**: Mixed +1.47%
+- **Impact**: Reduced wrapper entry overhead
+
+### Phase 3: Cache Locality Optimizations
+
+#### C1: TLS Prefetch (NEUTRAL)
+- **Status**: 🔬 NEUTRAL / FROZEN
+- **Implementation**: `HAKMEM_TINY_PREFETCH=1`
+- **Results**: Mixed -0.34% mean, +1.28% median
+- **Decision**: Research box (default OFF)
+- **Reason**: Prefetch timing dependent, effect within noise range
+
+#### C2: Metadata Cache (NEUTRAL)
+- **Status**: 🔬 NEUTRAL / FROZEN
+- **Implementation**: `HAKMEM_TINY_METADATA_CACHE=1`
+- **Results**: Mixed -0.45% mean, -1.06% median
+- **Decision**: Research box (default OFF)
+- **Reason**: Learner interlock cost + cache benefits not realized in current hot path
+
+#### C3: Static Routing (+2.20%)
+- **Status**: ✅ ADOPTED
+- **Implementation**: `HAKMEM_TINY_STATIC_ROUTE=1`
+- **Strategy**: Bypass policy_snapshot + learner evaluation with static routing table
+- **Results**: Mixed +2.20%
+- **Impact**: Eliminated atomic + branch overhead in allocation path
+
+#### C4: MID_V3 Routing Fix (+13%)
+- **Status**: ✅ ADOPTED
+- **Implementation**: `HAKMEM_MID_V3_ENABLED=0` for Mixed
+- **Results**: Mixed +13% (43.33M → 48.97M ops/s)
+- **Decision**: Mixed OFF by default, C6-heavy ON
+- **Reason**: C6 routing to LEGACY is faster in Mixed workload
+
+#### D1: Free Route Cache (+2.19%) ✅ PROMOTED
+- **Status**: ✅ ADOPTED (2025-12-13)
+- **Implementation**: `HAKMEM_FREE_STATIC_ROUTE=1`
+- **Strategy**: TLS cache for free path routing, bypass tiny_route_for_class()
+- **Initial 10-run**: Mean +1.06%, Median -0.77%
+- **20-run Validation**:
+  - Baseline (ROUTE=0): Mean 46.30M ops/s, Median 46.30M ops/s
+  - Optimized (ROUTE=1): Mean 47.32M ops/s, Median 47.39M ops/s
+  - Gain: Mean +2.19%, Median +2.37%
+- **Decision**: PROMOTE TO DEFAULT (both criteria met: mean >= +1.0%, median >= +0.0%)
+- **Impact**: Eliminates tiny_route_for_class() call overhead in free path
+
+#### D2: Wrapper Env Cache (-1.44%) ❌ FROZEN
+- **Status**: ❌ NO-GO / FROZEN
+- **Implementation**: `HAKMEM_WRAP_ENV_CACHE=1`
+- **Strategy**: TLS cache for wrapper_env_cfg() pointer
+- **Results**: Mixed -1.44% regression
+- **Decision**: FREEZE (do not pursue further)
+- **Reason**: TLS cache overhead > benefit, simple global access faster
+- **Lesson**: Not all caching helps - profile before adding indirection

+## Cumulative Gains: Phase 2-3
+
+### Active Optimizations in MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE
+
+1. **B3: Routing Branch Shape** (+2.89%)
+   - ENV: `HAKMEM_TINY_ALLOC_ROUTE_SHAPE=1`
+   - Impact: Branch prediction optimization
+
+2. **B4: Wrapper Hot/Cold Split** (+1.47%)
+   - ENV: `HAKMEM_WRAP_SHAPE=1`
+   - Impact: Reduced wrapper overhead
+
+3. **C3: Static Routing** (+2.20%)
+   - ENV: `HAKMEM_TINY_STATIC_ROUTE=1`
+   - Impact: Policy snapshot bypass
+
+4. **D1: Free Route Cache** (+2.19%) - **NEW**
+   - ENV: `HAKMEM_FREE_STATIC_ROUTE=1`
+   - Impact: Free path routing cache
+
+5. **MID_V3 Routing Fix** (+13%)
+   - ENV: `HAKMEM_MID_V3_ENABLED=0` (Mixed)
+   - Impact: C6 routing to LEGACY
+
+### Gain Calculation
+
+**Additive approximation** (conservative):
+- B3 + B4 + C3 + D1 = 2.89% + 1.47% + 2.20% + 2.19% = **8.75%**
+
+**Multiplicative (more realistic)**:
+- (1.0289) × (1.0147) × (1.0220) × (1.0219) ≈ **1.0893** → **+8.93%**
+
+**Note**: MID_V3 fix (+13%) is a structural change, not additive to the above.
+
+**Conservative estimate**: **~7.6-8.9%** cumulative gain from Phase 2-3 optimizations

+
+## Next Phase: D3 Conditions
+
+### D3: Alloc Gate Specialization
+
+**Requirement**: perf validation showing `tiny_alloc_gate_fast` self% ≥ 5%
+
+**Design**: `docs/analysis/PHASE3_D3_ALLOC_GATE_SPECIALIZATION_1_DESIGN.md`
+
+**Strategy**: Specialize alloc gate for fixed MIXED configuration
+- Eliminate dynamic checks
+- Inline hot paths
+- Reduce branch complexity
+
+**ENV**: `HAKMEM_ALLOC_GATE_LEGACY_ONLY=0/1`
+
+**Decision Criteria**:
+- IF perf shows ≥5% self% in alloc gate → Proceed with D3
+- ELSE → Move to Phase 4 planning
+
+### Perf Validation Required

+```bash
+perf record -F 99 --call-graph dwarf -- \
+  HAKMEM_PROFILE=MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 20000000 400 1

+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+### 1. Statistical Rigor Matters
+
+**Initial 10-run** for D1 showed +1.06% mean but -0.77% median, creating uncertainty.
+
+**20-run validation** resolved ambiguity: +2.19% mean, +2.37% median (both positive).
+
+**Lesson**: For borderline cases, invest in larger sample sizes to reduce variance and confirm trends.
+
+### 2. Not All Caching Helps
+
+**D2 hypothesis**: TLS caching of wrapper_env_cfg() would reduce overhead.
+
+**Reality**: Simple global pointer access was faster than TLS cache indirection.
+
+**Lesson**: Profile before adding indirection. Global access patterns can be more efficient than local caching when the global is already cache-resident.
+
+### 3. TLS Overhead is Real
+
+Both C1 (prefetch) and D2 (env cache) showed that adding TLS operations isn't always beneficial.
+
+**Lesson**: TLS access has non-zero cost. Only worthwhile when it eliminates heavier operations (like D1's route calculation).
+
+### 4. 20-run Validation is Worth It
+
+**10-run**: Faster, but higher variance (±2-3% noise)
+**20-run**: Slower, but lower variance (±1-2% noise)
+
+**Lesson**: For promotion decisions, 20-run validation provides confidence that gains are real, not measurement artifacts.

+## Future Work
+
+### Phase 3 D3: Pending Perf Validation
+
+**Condition**: Proceed if `tiny_alloc_gate_fast` self% ≥ 5%
+
+**Next Steps**:
+1. Run perf on current baseline (with D1 enabled)
+2. Analyze top functions
+3. If alloc gate ≥5%, implement D3 specialization
+4. If not, move to Phase 4 planning
+
+### Phase 4: TBD
+
+**Potential Directions**:
+- Wrapper layer further optimization (if perf shows opportunity)
+- Free path second-level optimizations
+- Allocator-wide architectural simplification
+
+**Decision Point**: After Phase 3 D3 validation
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Phase 3 has successfully delivered **+2.19%** improvement through D1 (Free Route Cache), bringing the cumulative Phase 2-3 gain to **~7.6-8.9%**. D2 (Wrapper Env Cache) was correctly rejected due to regression, demonstrating the value of rigorous A/B testing.
+
+The 20-run validation methodology proved essential for borderline optimizations, providing statistical confidence for promotion decisions. D1 is now active by default in the MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset, and all documentation has been synchronized.
+
+Next steps depend on perf validation: if alloc gate shows ≥5% overhead, Phase 3 D3 will proceed; otherwise, Phase 4 planning begins.
