Front-Direct implementation: SS→FC direct refill + SLL complete bypass

## Summary

Implemented Front-Direct architecture with complete SLL bypass:
- Direct SuperSlab → FastCache refill (1-hop, bypasses SLL)
- SLL-free allocation/free paths when Front-Direct enabled
- Legacy path sealing (SLL inline opt-in, SFC cascade ENV-only)

## New Modules

- core/refill/ss_refill_fc.h (236 lines): Standard SS→FC refill entry point
  - Remote drain → Freelist → Carve priority
  - Header restoration for C1-C6 (NOT C0/C7)
  - ENV: HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DRAIN_THRESH, HAKMEM_TINY_P0_NO_DRAIN

- core/front/fast_cache.h: FastCache (L1) type definition
- core/front/quick_slot.h: QuickSlot (L0) type definition

## Allocation Path (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h)

- Added s_front_direct_alloc TLS flag (lazy ENV check)
- SLL pop guarded by: g_tls_sll_enable && !s_front_direct_alloc
- Refill dispatch:
  - Front-Direct: ss_refill_fc_fill() → fastcache_pop() (1-hop)
  - Legacy: sll_refill_batch_from_ss() → SLL → FC (2-hop, A/B only)
- SLL inline pop sealed (requires HAKMEM_TINY_INLINE_SLL=1 opt-in)

## Free Path (core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc, core/hakmem_tiny_fastcache.inc.h)

- FC priority: Try fastcache_push() first (same-thread free)
- tiny_fast_push() bypass: Returns 0 when s_front_direct_free || !g_tls_sll_enable
- Fallback: Magazine/slow path (safe, bypasses SLL)

## Legacy Sealing

- SFC cascade: Default OFF (ENV-only via HAKMEM_TINY_SFC_CASCADE=1)
- Deleted: core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc.bak, core/pool_refill_legacy.c.bak
- Documentation: ss_refill_fc_fill() promoted as CANONICAL refill entry

## ENV Controls

- HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1: Enable Front-Direct (SS→FC direct)
- HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_ALL=1: Same as above (alt name)
- HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_BATCH=1: Enable batch refill (also enables Front-Direct)
- HAKMEM_TINY_SFC_CASCADE=1: Enable SFC cascade (default OFF)
- HAKMEM_TINY_INLINE_SLL=1: Enable inline SLL pop (default OFF, requires AGGRESSIVE_INLINE)

## Benchmarks (Front-Direct Enabled)

```bash
ENV: HAKMEM_BENCH_FAST_FRONT=1 HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1
     HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_BATCH=1 HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_ALL=1
     HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_HOT=256 HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_MID=96
     HAKMEM_TINY_BUMP_CHUNK=256

bench_random_mixed (16-1040B random, 200K iter):
  256 slots: 1.44M ops/s (STABLE, 0 SEGV)
  128 slots: 1.44M ops/s (STABLE, 0 SEGV)

bench_fixed_size (fixed size, 200K iter):
  256B: 4.06M ops/s (has debug logs, expected >10M without logs)
  128B: Similar (debug logs affect)
```

## Verification

- TRACE_RING test (10K iter): **0 SLL events** detected ✅
- Complete SLL bypass confirmed when Front-Direct=1
- Stable execution: 200K iterations × multiple sizes, 0 SEGV

## Next Steps

- Disable debug logs in hak_alloc_api.inc.h (call_num 14250-14280 range)
- Re-benchmark with clean Release build (target: 10-15M ops/s)
- 128/256B shortcut path optimization (FC hit rate improvement)

+### C5 SEGV 根治（実装済み・最小パッチ）
+
+- 直接原因（再現ログ/リングより）
+  - TLS SLL へ push される C5 ノードの header が 0x00（`safeheader` による reject が連発）
+  - パターン: 連番アドレス（`...8800, ...8900, ...8a00, ...`）で header=0 → carve/remote 経由の未整備ノード
+- 修正点（Box 境界厳守の“点”修正）
+  - Remote Queue → FreeList 変換時に header を復元
+    - ファイル: `core/hakmem_tiny_superslab.c:120` 付近（`_ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe`）
+    - 処理: クラス1–6は `*(uint8_t*)node = HEADER_MAGIC | (cls & HEADER_CLASS_MASK)` を実行後、`tiny_next_write()` で next を Box 形式に書換
+  - Superslab→TLS SLL への refill 時に header を整備
+    - ファイル: `core/hakmem_tiny_refill.inc.h:...`（`sll_refill_small_from_ss`）
+    - 処理: SLL へ積む直前にクラス1–6の header を設定してから `tls_sll_push()`
+  - 参考: 旧 `pool_tls_remote.c` も Box API 化（未使用系だが将来不整合防止）
+- 検証（リング+ベンチ）
+  - 環境: `HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_MASK=0x3F HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_SAFEHEADER=1 HAKMEM_TINY_HOTPATH_CLASS5=1`
+  - 以前: `tls_sll_reject(class=5)` が多数 → SIGSEGV
+  - 以後: `bench_random_mixed_hakmem 200000 256 42` 正常完走（リングに tls_sll_* 異常なし）
+  - C5 単独（`mask=0x20`）でも異常なしを確認
+
 ### 次の実装（根治方針／小粒）
 
 1) 共有SSの観測を先に確定（`HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_MASK=0x1F` でON/OFFのA/B、軽いFail‑Fast/リング有効）
 2) C5根治: C5のみON（`HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_MASK=0x20`、`HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_SAFEHEADER=1`、`HAKMEM_TINY_HOTPATH_CLASS5=0`）で短尺実行→最初の破綻箇所をログ採取
+   - 追加可視化（異常時のみリング記録）: `HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_RING=1 HAKMEM_TINY_TRACE_RING=1`
+     - 追加イベント: `tls_sll_reject`（safeheaderで拒否）, `tls_sll_sentinel`（リモート哨戒混入）, `tls_sll_hdr_corrupt`（POP時ヘッダ不整合）
+     - 実行例: `HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_MASK=0x20 HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_SAFEHEADER=1 HAKMEM_TINY_HOTPATH_CLASS5=0 HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_RING=1 HAKMEM_TINY_TRACE_RING=1 ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 100000 256 42`
 3) 該当箇所（BASE/USER/next、ヘッダ整合）に点で外科修正（~20–30行）。
 4) 段階的にマスク拡張（C6→C7）し再検証。

+
+## 5. Tiny フロント最適化ロードマップ（Phase 2/3 反映）
+
+目的: 全ベンチで強い Tiny 層（≤1KB）を、箱理論の境界を守ったまま高速化。配列ベース（QuickSlot/FastCache）を主役に、SLL はオーバーフロー/合流専用に後退配置する。
+
+構造（箱と境界）
+- L0: QuickSlot（C0–C3向け 6–8 スロット固定）
+  - 配列 push/pop だけ。ノードに一切書かない（BASE/USER/next 不触）。
+  - Miss→L1。
+- L1: FastCache（C0–C7、cap 128–256）
+  - Refill は SS→FC へ“直補充”のみ（目標 cap まで一気に埋める）。
+  - 1個返却: FC→返却（ヘッダ整備は Box 内 1 点）。
+- L2: TLS SLL（Box API）
+  - 役割は「オーバーフロー/合流」のみ（Remote Drain の合流や FC 溢れ時）。
+  - アプリの通常ヒット経路からは外す（alloc 側の inline pop は行わない）。
+- 採用境界（1 箇所維持）
+  - `superslab_refill()` に adopt→remote_drain→bind→owner の順序を集約。
+  - Remote Queue（Box 2）は push（offset0 書き）専任、drain は境界 1 箇所のみ。
+
+A/B トグル（既存に追加・整理）
+- `HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_BATCH=1`（P0: SS→FC 直補充 ON）
+- `HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_ALL=1`（全クラス FC 直補充）
+- `HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1`（中間層をスキップし FC 直補充→FC 再ポップ、既定 OFF）
+- プリセット（ベンチ良好）: `HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_HOT=256 HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_MID=96 HAKMEM_TINY_BUMP_CHUNK=256`
+
+レガシー整理方針（本体を美しく）
+- 入口/出口をモジュール化し、本体は 500 行以内を目安に維持。
+  - front 層: `core/front/quick_slot.h`, `core/front/fast_cache.h`, `core/front/front_gate.h`
+  - refill 層: `core/refill/ss_refill_fc.h`（SS→FC 直補充の 1 本化）
+  - SLL 層（後退配置）: `core/box/tls_sll_box.h` のみ公開、呼出しは refill/合流だけに限定
+- レガシー経路の段階的削除/封印
+  - inline SLL pop（C0–C3 用）や SFC cascade の常用経路を削除/既定無効化。
+  - `.bak` 系や重複/未使用ユーティリティを整理（削除）
+  - すべて A/B ガード付きで移行、Fail‑Fast とリングは“異常時のみ”記録。
+
+受け入れ基準（箱単位）
+- Front（L0/L1）ヒット率>80% を狙い、Refill 回数/1 回あたり取得数・SS 書換回数を計測。
+- Remote Drain は採用境界 1 箇所だけで発生し、drain 後の `remote_counts==0` を保証。
+- ベンチ指標（単スレ）
+  - 128/256B: 15M→30M→60M の順に上積み（A/B でトレンド確認）。
+- 安定性: sentinel 混入・ヘッダ不整合は Fail‑Fast、リングは異常時のみワンショット。
+
+実装ステップ（Phase 2/3）
+1) SS→FC 直補充の標準化（現行 `HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_BATCH` を標準パスに昇格）
+2) L0/L1 先頭化（alloc は FC→返却が基本、SLL は合流専用）
+3) SFC は残差処理へ限定（既定 OFF、A/B 実験のみ）
+4) レガシー経路の削除・モジュール化（500 行以内目安で本体を分割）
+5) プリセットの標準化（Hot-heavy をデフォルト、A/B で Balanced/Light 切替）
+
+---
+
+## 6. 現在の進捗と次作業（Claude code 君に引き継ぎ）
+
+完了済み（沙汰の通り）
+- 新モジュール: `core/refill/ss_refill_fc.h`（SS→FC 直補充、236行）
+- Front モジュール化: `core/front/quick_slot.h`, `core/front/fast_cache.h`
+- Front‑Direct 経路: alloc/free 双方で SLL バイパス（ENV: `HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1`）
+- Refill dispatch: ENV で `ss_refill_fc_fill()` を使用（`HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_BATCH/…DIRECT_FC_ALL`）
+- SFC cascade: 既定 OFF（ENV: `HAKMEM_TINY_SFC_CASCADE=1` で opt‑in）
+- ベンチ短尺での安定確認（SLL イベント 0, SEGV なし）
+
+未了・次作業（Claude code 君にお願い）
+1) レガシー封印/削除（A/B 残し）
+   - inline SLL pop 常用呼び出しを封印（`#if HAKMEM_TINY_INLINE_SLL` 未定義時は無効）
+   - `.bak` 系や未使用ユーティリティの削除（参照有無を `rg` で確認）
+   - SFC cascade は ENV でのみ有効（既定 OFF の確認）
+2) Refill 一本化の明文化
+   - `ss_refill_fc_fill()` を唯一の補充入口に昇格（コメントと呼び出し点整理）
+   - Front‑Direct 時は SLL/TLS List を通らないことをコード上明示
+3) 128/256 専用ショートパスの薄化（FC 命中率 UP）
+   - C0–C3: QuickSlot→FC→（必要時のみ）直補充→FC 再ポップ
+   - C4–C7: FC→（必要時のみ）直補充→FC 再ポップ
+4) 本体の簡素化（500 行目安）
+   - front*/refill*/box* への分割を継続、入口/出口の箱のみ本体に残す
+
+ベンチの推奨プリセット（再起動後の確認用）
+```
+HAKMEM_BENCH_FAST_FRONT=1 \
+HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1 \

+HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_HOT=256 \
+HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_MID=96 \
+HAKMEM_TINY_BUMP_CHUNK=256
+```
+
+備考: 既存の SLL 由来 SEGV は Front‑Direct 経路で回避済。SLL 経路は当面合流専用に後退配置し、常用経路からは外す。
+
+
+備考（計測メモ）
+- Phase 0/1 の改善で ~10M→~15M。Front-Direct 単体はブレが増え安定増速せず（既定 OFF）。
+- 次は FC 命中率を上げる配分とリフィル簡素化で 30–60M を狙う。

+// Purpose: Optimize refill path from 2 hops (SS→SLL→FC) to 1 hop (SS→FC)
+//
+// Box Theory Responsibility:
+// - Refill FastCache directly from SuperSlab freelist/carving
+// - Handle remote drain when threshold exceeded
+// - Restore headers for classes 1-6 (NOT class 0 or 7)
+// - Update active counters consistently
+//
+// Performance Impact:
+// - Eliminates SLL intermediate layer overhead
+// - Reduces allocation latency by ~30-50% (expected)
+// - Simplifies refill path (fewer cache misses)

+// This is the CANONICAL refill function for the Front-Direct architecture.
+// All allocation refills should route through this function when:
+// - HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1 (Front-Direct mode)

+// - HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_ALL=1 (P0 direct FastCache mode)
+//
+// Architecture: SuperSlab → FastCache (1-hop, bypasses SLL)
+//
+// Replaces legacy 2-hop path: SuperSlab → SLL → FastCache
+//
+// Box Boundaries:
+// - Input:  class_idx (0-7), want (target refill count)
+// - Output: BASE pointers pushed to FastCache (header at ptr-1 for C1-C6)
+// - Side Effects: Updates meta->used, meta->carved, ss->total_active_blocks
+//
+// Guarantees:
+// - Remote drain at threshold (default: 32 blocks)
+// - Freelist priority (reuse before carve)
+// - Header restoration for classes 1-6 (NOT class 0 or 7)
+// - Atomic active counter updates (thread-safe)
+// - Fail-fast on capacity exhaustion (no infinite loops)
+//
+// ENV Controls:
+// - HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DRAIN_THRESH: Remote drain threshold (default: 32)
+// - HAKMEM_TINY_P0_NO_DRAIN: Disable remote drain (debug only)

+ * ss_refill_fc_fill - Refill FastCache directly from SuperSlab
+ *
+ * @param class_idx Size class index (0-7)
+ * @param want Target number of blocks to refill
+ * @return Number of blocks successfully pushed to FastCache
+ *
+ * Algorithm:
+ * 1. Check TLS slab availability (call superslab_refill if needed)
+ * 2. Remote drain if pending count >= threshold
+ * 3. Refill loop (while produced < want and FC has room):
+ *    a. Try pop from freelist (O(1))
+ *    b. Try carve from slab (O(1))
+ *    c. Call superslab_refill if slab exhausted
+ *    d. Restore header for classes 1-6 (NOT 0 or 7)
+ *    e. Push to FastCache
+ * 4. Update active counter (once, after loop)
+ * 5. Return produced count
+ *
+ * Box Contract:
+ * - Input: valid class_idx (0 <= idx < TINY_NUM_CLASSES)
+ * - Output: BASE pointers (header at ptr-1 for classes 1-6)
+ * - Invariants: meta->used, meta->carved consistent
+ * - Side effects: Updates ss->total_active_blocks

+// Performance Notes
+// ============================================================================
+//
+// Expected Performance Improvement:
+// - Before (2-hop path): SS → SLL → FC
+//   * Overhead: SLL list traversal, cache misses, branch mispredicts
+//   * Latency: ~50-100 cycles per block
+//
+// - After (1-hop path): SS → FC
+//   * Overhead: Direct array push
+//   * Latency: ~10-20 cycles per block
+//   * Improvement: 50-80% reduction in refill latency
+//
+// Memory Impact:
+// - Zero additional memory (reuses existing FastCache)
+// - Reduced pressure on SLL (can potentially shrink SLL capacity)
+//
+// Thread Safety:
+// - All operations on TLS structures (no locks needed)
+// - Remote drain uses unsafe variant (OK for TLS context)
+// - Active counter updates use atomic add (safe)
+//
+// ============================================================================
+// Integration Notes
+// ============================================================================
+//
+// Usage Example (from allocation hot path):
+//   void* p = fastcache_pop(class_idx);
+//   if (!p) {
+//     ss_refill_fc_fill(class_idx, 16);  // Refill 16 blocks
+//     p = fastcache_pop(class_idx);       // Try again
+//   }
+//
+// Tuning Parameters:
+// - REMOTE_DRAIN_THRESHOLD: Default 32, can override via env var
+// - Want parameter: Recommended 8-32 blocks (balance overhead vs hit rate)
+//
+// Debug Flags:
+// - HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DRAIN_THRESH: Override drain threshold
+// - HAKMEM_TINY_P0_NO_DRAIN: Disable remote drain (debugging only)
