1. Archive unused backend files (ss_legacy/unified_backend_box.c/h)
- These files were not linked in the build
- Moved to archive/ to reduce confusion
2. Created HAK_RET_ALLOC_BLOCK macro for SuperSlab allocations
- Replaces superslab_return_block() function
- Consistent with existing HAK_RET_ALLOC pattern
- Single source of truth for header writing
- Defined in hakmem_tiny_superslab_internal.h
3. Added header validation on TLS SLL push
- Detects blocks pushed without proper header
- Enabled via HAKMEM_TINY_SLL_VALIDATE_HDR=1 (release)
- Always on in debug builds
- Logs first 10 violations with backtraces
Benefits:
- Easier to track allocation paths
- Catches header bugs at push time
- More maintainable macro-based design
Note: Larson bug still reproduces - header corruption occurs
before push validation can catch it.

Major refactoring to improve maintainability and debugging:
1. Split hakmem_tiny_superslab.c (1521 lines) into 7 focused files:
- superslab_allocate.c: SuperSlab allocation/deallocation
- superslab_backend.c: Backend allocation paths (legacy, shared)
- superslab_ace.c: ACE (Adaptive Cache Engine) logic
- superslab_slab.c: Slab initialization and bitmap management
- superslab_cache.c: LRU cache and prewarm cache management
- superslab_head.c: SuperSlabHead management and expansion
- superslab_stats.c: Statistics tracking and debugging
2. Created hakmem_tiny_superslab_internal.h for shared declarations
3. Added superslab_return_block() as single exit point for header writing:
- All backend allocations now go through this helper
- Prevents bugs where headers are forgotten in some paths
- Makes future debugging easier
4. Updated Makefile for new file structure
5. Added header writing to ss_legacy_backend_box.c and
ss_unified_backend_box.c (though not currently linked)
Note: Header corruption bug in Larson benchmark still exists.
Class 1-6 allocations go through TLS refill/carve paths, not backend.
Further investigation needed.
