dcc1d42e7f Phase 6-2: Promote Front FastLane Free DeDup (default ON) 
Results:
- A/B test: +5.18% on Mixed (10-run, clean env)
- Baseline: 46.68M ops/s
- Optimized: 49.10M ops/s
- Improvement: +2.42M ops/s (+5.18%)

Strategy:
- Eliminate duplicate header validation in front_fastlane_try_free()
- Direct call to free_tiny_fast() when dedup enabled
- Single validation path (no redundant checks)

Success factors:
1. Complete duplicate elimination (free path optimization)
2. Free path importance (50% of Mixed workload)
3. Improved execution stability (CV: 1.00% → 0.58%)

Phase 6 cumulative:
- Phase 6-1 FastLane: +11.13%
- Phase 6-2 Free DeDup: +5.18%
- Total: ~+16-17% from baseline (multiplicative effect)

Promotion:
- Default: HAKMEM_FRONT_FASTLANE_FREE_DEDUP=1 (opt-out)
- Added to MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset
- Added to C6_HEAVY_LEGACY_POOLV1 preset
- Rollback: HAKMEM_FRONT_FASTLANE_FREE_DEDUP=0

Files modified:
- core/box/front_fastlane_env_box.h: default 0 → 1
- core/bench_profile.h: added to presets
- CURRENT_TASK.md: Phase 6-2 GO result

Health check: PASSED (all profiles)

580e7f4fa3 Phase 5 E5-3: Candidate Analysis (All DEFERRED) + E5-4 Instructions 
E5-3 Analysis Results:
- free_tiny_fast_cold (7.14%): DEFER - cold path, low ROI
- unified_cache_push (3.39%): DEFER - already optimized
- hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled (2.97%): DEFER - low headroom

Key Insight: perf self% is time-weighted, not frequency-weighted.
Cold paths appear hot but have low total impact.

Next: E5-4 (Malloc Tiny Direct Path)
- Apply E5-1 winning pattern to malloc side
- Target: tiny_alloc_gate_fast() gate tax elimination
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_MALLOC_TINY_DIRECT=0/1

f7b18aaf13 Phase 5 E5-2: Header Write-Once (NEUTRAL, FROZEN) 
Target: tiny_region_id_write_header (3.35% self%)
- Hypothesis: Headers redundant for reused blocks
- Strategy: Write headers ONCE at refill boundary, skip in hot alloc

Implementation:
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ONCE=0/1 (default 0)
- core/box/tiny_header_write_once_env_box.h: ENV gate
- core/box/tiny_header_write_once_stats_box.h: Stats counters
- core/box/tiny_header_box.h: Added tiny_header_finalize_alloc()
- core/front/tiny_unified_cache.c: Prefill at 3 refill sites
- core/box/tiny_front_hot_box.h: Use finalize function

A/B Test Results (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters):
- Baseline (WRITE_ONCE=0): 44.22M ops/s (mean), 44.53M ops/s (median)
- Optimized (WRITE_ONCE=1): 44.42M ops/s (mean), 44.36M ops/s (median)
- Improvement: +0.45% mean, -0.38% median

Decision: NEUTRAL (within ±1.0% threshold)
- Action: FREEZE as research box (default OFF, do not promote)

Root Cause Analysis:
- Header writes are NOT redundant - existing code writes only when needed
- Branch overhead (~4 cycles) cancels savings (~3-5 cycles)
- perf self% ≠ optimization ROI (3.35% target → +0.45% gain)

Key Lessons:
1. Verify assumptions before optimizing (inspect code paths)
2. Hot spot self% measures time IN function, not savings from REMOVING it
3. Branch overhead matters (even "simple" checks add cycles)

Positive Outcome:
- StdDev reduced 50% (0.96M → 0.48M) - more stable performance

Health Check: PASS (all profiles)

Next Candidates:
- free_tiny_fast_cold: 7.14% self%
- unified_cache_push: 3.39% self%
- hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled: 2.97% self%

8875132134 Phase 5 E5-1: Free Tiny Direct Path (+3.35% GO) 
Target: Consolidate free() wrapper overhead (29.56% combined)
- free() wrapper: 21.67% self%
- free_tiny_fast_cold(): 7.89% self%

Strategy: Single header check in wrapper → direct call to free_tiny_fast()
- Eliminates redundant header validation (validated twice before)
- Bypasses cold path routing for Tiny allocations
- High coverage: 48% of frees in Mixed workload are Tiny

Implementation:
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_DIRECT=0/1 (default 0)
- core/box/free_tiny_direct_env_box.h: ENV gate
- core/box/free_tiny_direct_stats_box.h: Stats counters
- core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h: Wrapper integration (lines 593-625)

Safety gates:
- Page boundary guard ((ptr & 0xFFF) != 0)
- Tiny magic validation ((header & 0xF0) == 0xA0)
- Class bounds check (class_idx < 8)
- Fail-fast fallback to existing paths

A/B Test Results (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters):
- Baseline (DIRECT=0): 44.38M ops/s (mean), 44.45M ops/s (median)
- Optimized (DIRECT=1): 45.87M ops/s (mean), 45.95M ops/s (median)
- Improvement: +3.35% mean, +3.36% median

Decision: GO (+3.35% >= +1.0% threshold)
- 3rd consecutive success with consolidation/deduplication pattern
- E4-1: +3.51%, E4-2: +21.83%, E5-1: +3.35%

5528612f2a Phase 5 E4-2: Malloc Wrapper ENV Snapshot (+21.83% GO, ADOPTED) 
Target: Consolidate malloc wrapper TLS reads + eliminate function calls
- malloc (16.13%) + tiny_alloc_gate_fast (19.50%) = 35.63% combined
- Strategy: E4-1 success pattern + function call elimination

Implementation:
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_MALLOC_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=0/1 (default 0)
- core/box/malloc_wrapper_env_snapshot_box.{h,c}: New box
  - Consolidates multiple TLS reads → 1 TLS read
  - Pre-caches tiny_max_size() == 256 (eliminates function call)
  - Lazy init with probe window (bench_profile putenv sync)
- core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h: Integration in malloc() wrapper
- Makefile: Add malloc_wrapper_env_snapshot_box.o to all targets

A/B Test Results (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters):
- Baseline (SNAPSHOT=0): 35.74M ops/s (mean), 35.75M ops/s (median)
- Optimized (SNAPSHOT=1): 43.54M ops/s (mean), 43.92M ops/s (median)
- Improvement: +21.83% mean, +22.86% median (+7.80M ops/s)

Decision: GO (+21.83% >> +1.0% threshold, 21.8x over)
- Why 6.2x better than E4-1 (+3.51%)?
  - Higher malloc call frequency (allocation-heavy workload)
  - Function call elimination (tiny_max_size pre-cached)
  - Larger target: 35.63% vs free's 25.26%
- Health check: PASS (all profiles)
- Action: PROMOTED to MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset

Phase 5 Cumulative (estimated):
- E1 (ENV Snapshot): +3.92%
- E4-1 (Free Wrapper Snapshot): +3.51%
- E4-2 (Malloc Wrapper Snapshot): +21.83%
- Estimated combined: ~+30% (needs validation)

- E4-1 (Free Wrapper Snapshot): +3.51%
- Total Phase 4-5: ~+7.5%

E3-4 Correction:
- Phase 4 E3-4 (ENV Constructor Init): NO-GO / FROZEN
- Initial A/B showed +4.75%, but investigation revealed:
  - Branch prediction hint mismatch (UNLIKELY with always-true)

21e2e4ac2b Phase 4 E3-4: ENV Constructor Init (+4.75% GO) 
Target: Eliminate E1 lazy init check overhead (3.22% self%)
- E1 consolidated ENV gates but lazy check remained in hot path
- Strategy: __attribute__((constructor(101))) for pre-main init

Implementation:
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT_CTOR=0/1 (default 0, research box)
- core/box/hakmem_env_snapshot_box.c: Constructor function added
  - Reads ENV before main() when CTOR=1
  - Refresh also syncs gate state for bench_profile putenv
- core/box/hakmem_env_snapshot_box.h: Dual-mode enabled check
  - CTOR=1 fast path: direct global read (no lazy branch)
  - CTOR=0 fallback: legacy lazy init (rollback safe)
  - Branch hints adjusted for default OFF baseline

A/B Test Results (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters, E1=1):
- Baseline (CTOR=0): 44.28M ops/s (mean), 44.60M ops/s (median)
- Optimized (CTOR=1): 46.38M ops/s (mean), 46.53M ops/s (median)
- Improvement: +4.75% mean, +4.35% median

Decision: GO (+4.75% >> +0.5% threshold)
- Expected +0.5-1.5%, achieved +4.75%
- Lazy init branch overhead was larger than expected
- Action: Keep as research box (default OFF), evaluate promotion

Phase 4 Cumulative:
- E1 (ENV Snapshot): +3.92%

88717a8737 Phase 4 E1: ENV Snapshot Consolidation - GO (+3.92% avg, +4.01% median) 
Target: Consolidate 3 ENV gate TLS reads → 1 TLS read
- tiny_c7_ultra_enabled_env():    1.28% self
- tiny_front_v3_enabled():        1.01% self
- tiny_metadata_cache_enabled():  0.97% self
- Total overhead: 3.26% self (perf profile analysis)

Implementation:
- core/box/hakmem_env_snapshot_box.h (new): ENV snapshot struct & API
- core/box/hakmem_env_snapshot_box.c (new): TLS snapshot implementation
- core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h: Migrated 5 call sites to snapshot
- core/box/tiny_legacy_fallback_box.h: Migrated 2 call sites
- core/box/tiny_metadata_cache_hot_box.h: Migrated 1 call site
- core/bench_profile.h: Added hakmem_env_snapshot_refresh_from_env()
- Makefile: Added hakmem_env_snapshot_box.o to build
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT=0/1 (default: 0, research box)

A/B Test Results (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters):
- Baseline (E1=0): 43,617,549 ops/s (avg), 43,562,895 ops/s (median)
- Optimized (E1=1): 45,327,239 ops/s (avg), 45,309,218 ops/s (median)
- Improvement: avg +3.92%, median +4.01%

Decision: GO (+3.92% >= +2.5% threshold)
- Action: Keep as research box (default OFF) for Phase 4
- Next: Consider promotion to default in MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset

Design Rationale:
- Shape optimizations (B3, D3) reached saturation (+0.56% NEUTRAL)
- Shift to memory/TLS overhead optimization (new optimization frontier)
- Pattern: Similar to existing tiny_front_v3_snapshot (proven approach)
- Expected: +1-3% from 3.26% ENV overhead → Achieved: +3.92%

Technical Details:
- Consolidation: 3 TLS reads → 1 TLS read (66% reduction)
- Learner interlock: tiny_metadata_cache_eff pre-computed in snapshot
- Version sync: Refreshes on small_policy_v7_version_changed()
- Fallback safety: Existing ENV gates still available when E1=0

Moe Charm (CI)
19056282b6 Phase 3 D2: Wrapper Env Cache - [DECISION: NO-GO] 
Target: Reduce wrapper_env_cfg() overhead in malloc/free hot path
- Strategy: Cache wrapper env configuration pointer in TLS
- Approach: Fast pointer cache (TLS caches const wrapper_env_cfg_t*)

Implementation:
- core/box/wrapper_env_cache_env_box.h: ENV gate (HAKMEM_WRAP_ENV_CACHE)
- core/box/wrapper_env_cache_box.h: TLS cache layer (wrapper_env_cfg_fast)
- core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h: Integration into malloc/free hot paths
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_WRAP_ENV_CACHE=0/1 (default OFF)

A/B Test Results (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters):
- Baseline (D2=0): 46.52M ops/s (avg), 46.47M ops/s (median)
- Optimized (D2=1): 45.85M ops/s (avg), 45.98M ops/s (median)
- Improvement: avg -1.44%, median -1.05% (DECISION: NO-GO)

Analysis:
- Regression cause: TLS cache adds overhead (branch + TLS access)
- wrapper_env_cfg() is already minimal (pointer return after simple check)
- Adding TLS caching layer makes it worse, not better
- Branch prediction penalty outweighs any potential savings

Cumulative Phase 2-3:
- B3: +2.89%, B4: +1.47%, C3: +2.20%
- D1: +1.06% (opt-in), D2: -1.44% (NO-GO)
- Total: ~7.2% (excluding D2)

Decision: FREEZE as research box (default OFF, regression confirmed)

  * ENV gate: HAKMEM_FREE_STATIC_ROUTE=0/1 (default OFF)
  * Lazy initialization with sentinel value
- core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h (modified)
  * Two call sites: free_tiny_fast_cold() + legacy_fallback path
  * Direct route lookup: g_tiny_route_class[class_idx]
  * Fallback safety: Check g_tiny_route_snapshot_done

- Fast-path in tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base()
- Files: tiny_first_page_cache.h, tiny_unified_cache.c
- Integration: tiny_legacy_fallback_box.h

Patch 3: Bounds Check Compile-out
- Hardcode unified_cache capacity as MACRO constant
- Eliminate modulo operation (constant fold)
- Macros: TINY_UNIFIED_CACHE_CAPACITY_POW2=11, CAPACITY=2048, MASK=2047
- File: tiny_unified_cache.h

A/B Test Results (Mixed, 10-run):
- Baseline (C2=0): 40.43M ops/s (avg), 40.72M ops/s (median)
- Optimized (C2=1): 40.25M ops/s (avg), 40.29M ops/s (median)

d0b931b197 Phase 3 C1: TLS Prefetch Implementation - NEUTRAL Result (Research Box) 
Step 1 & 2 Complete:
- Implemented: core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h prefetch (lines 264-267, 331-334)
  - LEGACY path prefetch of g_unified_cache[class_idx] to L1
  - ENV gate: HAKMEM_TINY_PREFETCH=0/1 (default OFF)
  - Conditional: only when prefetch enabled + route_kind == LEGACY

- A/B test (Mixed 10-run): PREFETCH=0 (39.33M) → =1 (39.20M) = -0.34% avg
  - Median: +1.28% (within ±1.0% neutral range)
  - Result: 🔬 NEUTRAL (research box, default OFF)

Decision: FREEZE as research box
- Average -0.34% suggests prefetch overhead > benefit
- Prefetch timing too late (after route_kind selection)
- TLS cache access is already fast (head/tail indices)
- Actual memory wait happens at slots[] array access (after prefetch)

Technical Learning:
- Prefetch effectiveness depends on L1 miss rate at access time
- Inserting prefetch after route selection may be too late
- Future approach: move prefetch earlier or use different target

Next: Phase 3 C2 (Metadata Cache Optimization, expected +5-10%)

1798ed656d Phase 3 C3: Tiny Static Routing Box Implementation (Step 1A) 
Research Box Implementation:
- core/box/tiny_static_route_box.h: TinyStaticRoute struct & API
- core/box/tiny_static_route_box.c: Static route table management
- Makefile: Added tiny_static_route_box.o to 3 OBJS lists

Design:
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_TINY_STATIC_ROUTE=0/1 (default: 0)
- Learner auto-disable: If HAKMEM_TINY_LEARNER_ENABLED=1, force OFF
- Constructor priority: 102 (runs after wrapper_env_ctor at 101)
- Thread-safe: Atomic CAS for exactly-once initialization

Baseline Profiling (Step 0 Complete):
  - Throughput: 46.2M ops/s (10M iterations × 400 ws)
  - Instructions/cycle: 2.11 insn/cycle
  - Frontend stalls: 10.62% (memory latency bottleneck)
  - Cache-misses: 3.46% of references
  Expected C3 gain: +5-8% (policy_snapshot bypass)

Next Steps (Step 1B onwards):
  1. Integrate static route into malloc_tiny_fast_for_class()
  2. A/B test: Mixed 10-run, expect +1% minimum for GO
  3. Decision: GO if +1%, NO-GO if -1%, else freeze

Status:
  ✅ Phase 2 (B3+B4): +4.4% cumulative
  ✅ Phase 3 planning & C3 Step 0-1A complete
  ⏳ Phase 3 C3 Step 1B-3 pending (malloc integration & testing)

c687673a99 Phase 2 B4: Wrapper Layer Hot/Cold Split (malloc/free) - ADOPT (+1.47%) 
- Implement malloc_cold() helper (noinline,cold) for LD mode, jemalloc, force_libc
- Add malloc() hot/cold dispatch with HAKMEM_WRAP_SHAPE=1 ENV gate
- Implement free_cold() helper (noinline,cold) for classification, ownership checks
- Add free() hot/cold dispatch: hot path returns early, cold path delegates to free_cold()
- Lock_depth symmetry verified on all return paths (malloc: ++/--, free: consistent)

A/B Testing Results (Mixed 10-run):
  WRAP_SHAPE=0 (default): 34,750,578 ops/s
  WRAP_SHAPE=1 (optimized): 35,262,596 ops/s
  Average gain: +1.47% (Median: +1.39%)
  ✓ Decision: GO (exceeds +1.0% threshold)

Implementation Strategy:
- Separate frequently-executed code from rare paths (LD, jemalloc, diagnostics)
- Keep hot path instruction count minimal (returns early on success)
- L1 I-cache pressure reduction via noinline,cold attributes
- Default OFF (HAKMEM_WRAP_SHAPE=0) maintains backward compatibility

## Phase 2 Optimization Research Complete

### B1 (Header tax reduction v2) - NO-GO
- HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_MODE=LIGHT: -2.54% regression on Mixed
- Decision: FREEZE as research box (ENV opt-in only)

### B3 (Routing branch shape optimization) - ADOPT
- Mixed: +2.89% (48.41M → 49.80M ops/s)
- C6-heavy: +9.13% (8.97M → 9.79M ops/s)
- Strategy: LIKELY on LEGACY (hot), noinline,cold helper for rare routes
- Implementation: Already in malloc_tiny_fast.h:252-267
- Profile updates: HAKMEM_TINY_ALLOC_ROUTE_SHAPE=1 now default

### B4 (Wrapper Layer Hot/Cold Split) - Preparation
- Design memo: docs/analysis/PHASE2_B4_WRAPPER_SHAPE_1_DESIGN.md
- Goal: Split malloc/free into hot/cold paths, reduce I-cache pressure
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_WRAP_SHAPE=0/1 (added to wrapper_env_box)
- Expected gain: +2-5% Mixed, +1-3% C6-heavy

## Analysis Summary
- Background is visible: FREE DUALHOT + B3 routing optimizations work
- Code layering is clean: winning boxes promoted to presets, losing boxes frozen with ENV guards
- Remaining gap to mimalloc is wrapper layer + safety checks + policy snapshot
- Further +5-10% still realistically achievable

df37baa505 Phase 1A3: tiny_region_id_write_header always_inline research box (NO-GO) 
Add HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ALWAYS_INLINE build flag (default 0) to enable
always_inline on tiny_region_id_write_header().

A/B Results (HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ALWAYS_INLINE=0 vs 1):
- Mixed (10-run): 49.53M → 47.55M ops/s (-4.00% regression)
- C6-heavy (5-run): 23.49M → 24.93M ops/s (+6.00% improvement)

Decision: NO-GO - Mixed regression (-4%) exceeds threshold (-1%)
Status: Frozen as research box (default OFF)

Root Cause: I-cache pressure from forced inline expansion
- Mixed workload: higher code diversity → I-cache evictions
- C6-heavy workload: focused pattern → benefits from inlining

Patches:
1. core/hakmem_build_flags.h: Add HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ALWAYS_INLINE (default 0)
2. core/tiny_region_id.h: Add conditional __attribute__((always_inline)) gate

Build: make -j EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DHAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ALWAYS_INLINE=1 [target]

Recommendation: Keep compiler's natural inline heuristic (already optimal for Mixed)

d0f939c2eb Phase ALLOC-GATE-SSOT-1 + ALLOC-TINY-FAST-DUALHOT-2: Structure fixes for alloc path 
4 patches to eliminate allocation overhead and enable research path:

Patch 1: Extract malloc_tiny_fast_for_class(size, class_idx)
- SSOT: size→class conversion happens once in gate
- malloc_tiny_fast() becomes thin wrapper
- Foundation for eliminating duplicate lookups

Patch 2: Update tiny_alloc_gate_fast() to call *_for_class
- Pass class_idx computed in gate to malloc_tiny_fast_for_class()
- Eliminates second hak_tiny_size_to_class() call
- Impact: +1-2% expected from reduced instruction count

Patch 3: Reposition DUALHOT branch (C0-C3 only)
- Move class_idx <= 3 check outside alloc_dualhot_enabled()
- C4-C7 no longer evaluate ENV gate (even when OFF)
- Impact: Maintains neutral performance on default path

Patch 4: Probe window for ENV gate
- Tolerate early putenv() before probe window exhausted (64 calls)
- Maintains correctness for bench_profile setenv timing

A/B Results (DUALHOT=0 vs DUALHOT=1):
- Mixed median: 48.75M → 48.62M ops/s (-0.27%, neutral within variance)
- C6-heavy median: 23.24M → 23.63M ops/s (+1.68%, SSOT benefit)

Decision: ADOPT with DUALHOT default OFF (research feature)
- SSOT provides structural improvement
- No regression on default configuration
- C6-heavy shows SSOT effectiveness (+1.68%)

2b567ac070 Phase FREE-TINY-FAST-DUALHOT-1: Optimize C0-C3 direct free path 
Treat C0-C3 classes (48% of calls) as "second hot path" instead of
cold path. Skip expensive policy snapshot and route determination,
direct to tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base().

Measurements from FREE-TINY-FAST-HOTCOLD-OPT-1 revealed C0-C3 is NOT
rare (48.43% of all frees). Previous attempt to optimize via hot/cold
split failed (-13% regression) because noinline + function call on 48%
of workload hurt more than it helped.

This phase applies correct optimization: direct inline path for
frequent C0-C3 without policy snapshot overhead.

Implementation:
- Insert C0-C3 early-exit after C7 ULTRA check
- Skip tiny_front_v3_snapshot_get() for C0-C3 (saves 5-10 cycles)
- Skip route determination logic
- Safety: HAKMEM_TINY_LARSON_FIX=1 disables optimization

Benchmark Results (100M ops, 400 threads, MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE):
- Baseline (optimization OFF): 44.50M ops/s (median)
- Optimized (DUALHOT ON):      48.74M ops/s (median)
- Improvement: +9.51% (+4.23M ops/s)

Perf Stats (optimized):
- Branch misses: 112.8M
- Cycles: 8.89B
- Instructions: 21.95B (2.47 IPC)
- Cache misses: 656K

Status: GO (significant improvement, no regression)

c503b212a3 Phase FREE-TINY-FAST-HOTCOLD-OPT-1: Hot/Cold split for free_tiny_fast [RESEARCH BOX - FREEZE] 
Split free_tiny_fast() into hot and cold paths to reduce I-cache pressure:
- free_tiny_fast_hot(): always_inline, fast-path validation + ULTRA/MID/V7
- free_tiny_fast_cold(): noinline,cold, cross-thread + TinyHeap + legacy

ENV: HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_FAST_HOTCOLD=0/1 (default 0)
Stats: HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_FAST_HOTCOLD_STATS=0/1 (TLS only, exit dump)

## Benchmark Results (random mixed, 100M ops)

HOTCOLD=0 (legacy): 49.35M, 50.18M, 50.25M ops/s (median: 50.18M)
HOTCOLD=1 (split):  43.54M, 43.59M, 43.62M ops/s (median: 43.59M)

**Regression: -13.1%** (NO-GO)

## Stats Analysis (10M ops, HOTCOLD_STATS=1)

Hot path:  50.11% (C7 ULTRA early-exit)
Cold path: 48.43% (legacy fallback)

## Root Cause

Design assumption FAILED: "Cold path is rare"
Reality: Cold path is 48% (almost as common as hot path)

The split introduces:
1. Extra dispatch overhead in hot path
2. Function call overhead to cold for ~48% of frees
3. "Cold" is NOT rare - it's the legacy fallback for non-ULTRA classes

## Conclusion

**FREEZE as research box (default OFF)**

Box Theory value:
- Validated hot/cold distribution via TLS stats
- Confirmed that legacy fallback is NOT rare (48%)
- Demonstrated that naive hot/cold split hurts when "cold" is common

Alternative approaches for future work:
1. Inline the legacy fallback in hot path (no split)
2. Route-specific specialization (C7 vs non-C7 separate paths)
3. Policy-based early routing (before header validation)

4e7870469c POOL-MID-DN-BATCH: Add hash-based TLS page map (O(1) lookup) 
Replace linear search (avg 16 iterations, -7.6% regression) with
open addressing hash table:
- Size: 64 slots (power-of-two)
- Collision: Linear probing, max 8 probes
- On probe limit: drain and retry (safe fallback)
- Hash function: Golden ratio with page-aligned shift

New ENV: HAKMEM_POOL_MID_INUSE_MAP_KIND=hash|linear (default: linear)

Implementation:
- Added hak_pool_mid_inuse_map_hash_enabled() ENV gate
- Extended MidInuseTlsPageMap with hash_pages[64], hash_counts[64], hash_used
- Added mid_inuse_hash_page() golden ratio hash function
- Added mid_inuse_dec_deferred_hash() O(1) insert with probing
- Updated mid_inuse_deferred_drain() to support hash mode
- Added decs_drained stats counter for batching metrics

Benchmark Results (10 runs each, bench_mid_large_mt_hakmem):
  Baseline (DEFERRED=0): median=9,250,340 ops/s
  Linear mode:           median=8,159,240 ops/s (-11.80%)
  Hash mode:             median=8,262,982 ops/s (-10.67%)

Hash vs Linear: +1.27% improvement (eliminates linear search overhead)

Note: Both deferred modes still show regression vs baseline due to
other factors (TLS access overhead, drain cost). Hash mode successfully
eliminates the linear search penalty as designed.

6c849fd020 POOL-MID-DN-BATCH: Add last-match cache to reduce linear search overhead 
Root cause: Linear search in 32-entry TLS map averaged 16 iterations,
causing instruction overhead that exceeded mid_desc_lookup savings.

Fix implemented:
- Added last_idx field to MidInuseTlsPageMap for temporal locality
- Check last_idx before linear search (O(1) fast path)
- Update last_idx on hits and new entries
- Reset last_idx on drain

Changes:
1. pool_mid_inuse_tls_pagemap_box.h:
   - Added uint32_t last_idx field to struct

2. pool_mid_inuse_deferred_box.h:
   - Check last_idx before linear search (lines 90-94)
   - Update last_idx on linear search hit (line 101)
   - Set last_idx on new entry insert (line 117)
   - Reset last_idx on drain (line 166)

Benchmark results (bench_mid_large_mt_hakmem):
- Baseline (DEFERRED=0): median 9.08M ops/s, variance 300B
- Deferred with cache (DEFERRED=1): median 8.38M ops/s, variance 207B
- Performance: -7.6% regression (vs expected +2-4% gain)
- Stability: -31% variance (improvement as expected)

Analysis:
The last-match cache reduces variance but does not eliminate the
regression for this benchmark's random access pattern (2048 slots,
many pages). The temporal locality assumption (60-80% hit rate) is
not met by bench_mid_large_mt's allocation pattern.

Further optimization needed:
- Consider hash-based lookup for better than O(n) search
- OR reduce map size to decrease search iterations
- OR add drain triggers at better boundaries

Extract 30 lines: hak_pool_block_to_user() + hak_pool_block_to_user_legacy()
- New box: core/box/pool_block_to_user_box.h (helpers for block→user conversion)
- Updated: pool_api.inc.h (add include, remove extracted functions)
- Build: OK, bench_mid_large_mt_hakmem: 9.17M ops/s (baseline ~8M)
- Risk: MINIMAL (simple extraction, no dependencies)

a92f3e52c3 Phase: Pool API Modularization - Step 3: Extract pool_free_v1_box.h 
Extracted pool v1 free implementation into separate box module:
- hak_pool_free_v1_fast_impl(): L1-FastBox (TLS-only path, no mid_desc_lookup)
- hak_pool_free_v1_slow_impl(): L1-SlowBox (full impl with lookup)
- hak_pool_free_v1_impl(): L0-SplitBox (fast predicate router)

Benefits:
- Reduced pool_api.inc.h from ~950 to ~840 lines
- Clear separation of concern (fast vs slow paths)
- Enables future phase extensions (e.g., POOL-MID-DN-BATCH)
- Maintains zero-cost abstraction (all inline)

Testing:
- Build: ✓ (no errors)
- Benchmark: ✓ (7.99M ops/s, consistent with baseline)

b01c99f209 Phase: Pool API Modularization - Steps 1-2 
Extract configuration, statistics, and caching boxes from pool_api.inc.h

Step 1: pool_config_box.h (60 lines)
  - All ENV gate predicates (hak_pool_v2_enabled, hak_pool_v1_flatten_enabled, etc)
  - Lazy static int cache pattern (matches tiny_heap_env_box.h style)
  - Zero dependencies (lowest-level box)

Step 2a: pool_stats_box.h (90 lines)
  - PoolV1FlattenStats structure with multi-phase support
  - pool_v1_flat_stats_dump() with phase-aware output
  - Destructor hook for automatic dumping on exit
  - Multi-phase design: supports future phases without refactoring

Step 2b: pool_mid_desc_cache_box.h (60 lines)
  - MidDescCache structure (TLS-local single-entry LRU)
  - mid_desc_lookup_cached() with fast TLS hit path
  - Minimal external dependency: mid_desc_lookup from pool_mid_desc.inc.h

Result: pool_api.inc.h reduced from 1050+ lines to ~950 lines
  Still contains: alloc/free implementations, helpers (next steps)

Build: ✅ Clean (no warnings)
Test: ✅ Benchmark passes (8.5M ops/s)

c86a59159b Phase POOL-FREE-V1-OPT Step 2: Fast/Slow split for v1 free 
Implement L0-SplitBox + L1-FastBox/SlowBox architecture for pool v1 free:

L0-SplitBox (hak_pool_free_v1_impl):
  - Fast predicate: header-based same-thread detection
  - Requires g_hdr_light_enabled == 0, tls_free_enabled
  - Routes to fast or slow box based on predicate

L1-FastBox (hak_pool_free_v1_fast_impl):
  - Same-thread TLS free path only (ring → lo_head → spill)
  - Skips mid_desc_lookup for validation (uses header)
  - Still calls mid_page_inuse_dec_and_maybe_dn at end

L1-SlowBox (hak_pool_free_v1_slow_impl):
  - Full v1 impl with mid_desc_lookup for validation
  - Handles cross-thread, TC lookup, etc.

ENV gate: HAKMEM_POOL_V1_FREE_FASTSPLIT (default OFF)

Stats tracking:
  - fastsplit_fast_hit: Fast path taken (>99% typically)
  - fastsplit_slow_hit: Slow path taken (predicate failed)

Benchmark result (FLATTEN OFF, Mixed profile):
  - Baseline: ~8.3M ops/s (high variance)
  - FASTSPLIT ON: ~8.1M ops/s (high variance)
  - Performance neutral (savings limited by inuse_dec still calling mid_desc_lookup)

- v2_reject_ptr_null: ptr == NULL
- v2_reject_not_init: pool not initialized
- v2_reject_desc_null: mid_desc_lookup returned NULL

0c8583f91e Phase TLS-UNIFY-3+: Refactoring - Unified ENV gates for C6 ULTRA 
Consolidate C6 ULTRA ENV gate functions:
- tiny_c6_ultra_intrusive_env_box.h now contains both:
  - tiny_c6_ultra_free_enabled() - C6 ULTRA routing (policy gate)
  - tiny_c6_ultra_intrusive_enabled() - intrusive LIFO mode (TLS optimization)
- Simplified ENV gate management with clear separation of concerns

Removes code duplication by centralizing environment checks in single header.
Performance verified: ENV_OFF=56.4 Mop/s, ENV_ON=57.6 Mop/s (parity maintained)

Note: Avoided macro-based segment learning consolidation (C4/C5/C6) as it
would hinder compiler optimizations. Current inline approach is optimal.

d5ffb3eeb2 Fix MID v3.5 activation bugs: policy loop + malloc recursion 
Two critical bugs fixed:

1. Policy snapshot infinite loop (smallobject_policy_v7.c):
   - Condition `g_policy_v7_version == 0` caused reinit on every call
   - Fixed via CAS to set global version to 1 after first init

2. Malloc recursion (smallobject_segment_mid_v3.c):
   - Internal malloc() routed back through hakmem → MID v3.5 → segment
     creation → malloc → infinite recursion / stack overflow
   - Fixed by using mmap() directly for internal allocations:
     - Segment struct, pages array, page metadata block

Performance results (bench_random_mixed 257-512B):
- Baseline (LEGACY): 34.0M ops/s
- MID_V35 ON (C6):   35.8M ops/s
- Improvement:       +5.1% ✓

0dba67ba9d Phase v11a-2: Core MID v3.5 implementation - segment, cold iface, stats, learner 
Implement 5-layer infrastructure for multi-class MID v3.5 (C5-C7, 257-1KiB):

1. SegmentBox_mid_v3 (L2 Physical)
   - core/smallobject_segment_mid_v3.c (9.5 KB)
   - 2MiB segments, 64KiB pages (32 per segment)
   - Per-class free page stacks (LIFO)
   - RegionIdBox registration
   - Slots: C5→170, C6→102, C7→64

2. ColdIface_mid_v3 (L2→L1)
   - core/box/smallobject_cold_iface_mid_v3_box.h (NEW)
   - core/smallobject_cold_iface_mid_v3.c (3.5 KB)
   - refill: get page from free stack or new segment
   - retire: calculate free_hit_ratio, publish stats, return to stack
   - Clean separation: TLS cache for hot path, ColdIface for cold path

3. StatsBox_mid_v3 (L2→L3)
   - core/smallobject_stats_mid_v3.c (7.2 KB)
   - Circular buffer history (1000 events)
   - Per-page metrics: class_idx, allocs, frees, free_hit_ratio_bps
   - Periodic aggregation (every 100 retires)
   - Learner notification callback

4. Learner v2 (L3)
   - core/smallobject_learner_v2.c (11 KB)
   - Multi-class aggregation: allocs[8], retire_count[8], avg_free_hit_bps[8]
   - Exponential smoothing (90% history + 10% new)
   - Per-class efficiency tracking
   - Stats snapshot API
   - Route decision disabled for v11a-2 (v11b feature)

5. Build Integration
   - Modified Makefile: added 4 new .o files (segment, cold_iface, stats, learner)
   - Updated box header prototypes
   - Clean compilation, all dependencies resolved

Architecture Decision Implementation:
- v7 remains frozen (C5/C6 research preset)
- MID v3.5 becomes unified 257-1KiB main path
- Multi-class isolation: per-class free stacks
- Dormant infrastructure: linked but not active (zero overhead)

Performance:
- Build: clean compilation
- Sanity benchmark: 27.3M ops/s (no regression vs v10)
- Memory: ~30MB RSS (baseline maintained)

Design Compliance:
✅ Layer separation: L2 (segment) → L2 (cold iface) → L3 (stats) → L3 (learner)
✅ Hot path clean: alloc/free never touch stats/learner
✅ Backward compatible: existing MID v3 routes unchanged
✅ Transparent: v11a-2 is dormant (no behavior change)

Next Phase (v11a-3):
- Activate C5/C6/C7 routing through MID v3.5
- Connect TLS cache to segment refill
- Verify performance under load
- Then Phase v11a-4: dynamic C5 ratio routing
