89a9212700 Phase 83-1 + Allocator Comparison: Switch dispatch fixed (NO-GO +0.32%), PROFILE correction, SCORECARD update 
Key changes:
- Phase 83-1: Switch dispatch fixed mode (tiny_inline_slots_switch_dispatch_fixed_box) - NO-GO (marginal +0.32%, branch reduction negligible)
  Reason: lazy-init pattern already optimal, Phase 78-1 pattern shows diminishing returns

- Allocator comparison baseline update (10-run SSOT, WS=400, ITERS=20M):
  tcmalloc: 115.26M (92.33% of mimalloc)
  jemalloc: 97.39M (77.96% of mimalloc)
  system: 85.20M (68.24% of mimalloc)
  mimalloc: 124.82M (baseline)

- hakmem PROFILE correction: scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh + run_allocator_quick_matrix.sh
  PROFILE explicitly set to MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE for hakmem measurements
  Result: baseline stabilized to 55.53M (44.46% of mimalloc)
  Previous unstable measurement (35.57M) was due to profile leak

- Documentation:
  * PERFORMANCE_TARGETS_SCORECARD.md: Reference allocators + M1/M2 milestone status
  * PHASE83_1_SWITCH_DISPATCH_FIXED_RESULTS.md: Phase 83-1 analysis (NO-GO)
  * ALLOCATOR_COMPARISON_QUICK_RUNBOOK.md: Quick comparison procedure
  * ALLOCATOR_COMPARISON_SSOT.md: Detailed SSOT methodology

- M2 milestone status: 44.46% (target 55%, gap -10.54pp) - structural improvements needed

4f99054fd5 Phase 75-3: C5+C6 Interaction Matrix Test (4-Point A/B) - STRONG GO (+5.41%) 
Comprehensive interaction testing with single binary, ENV-only configuration:

4-Point Matrix Results (Mixed SSOT, WS=400):
- Point A (C5=0, C6=0): 42.36 M ops/s [Baseline]
- Point B (C5=1, C6=0): 43.54 M ops/s (+2.79% vs A)
- Point C (C5=0, C6=1): 44.25 M ops/s (+4.46% vs A)
- Point D (C5=1, C6=1): 44.65 M ops/s (+5.41% vs A) **[COMBINED TARGET]**

Additivity Analysis:
- Expected additive: 45.43 M ops/s (B+C-A)
- Actual: 44.65 M ops/s (D)
- Sub-additivity: 1.72% (near-perfect, minimal negative interaction)

Perf Stat Validation (Point D vs A):
- Instructions: -6.1% (function call elimination confirmed)
- Branches: -6.1% (matches instructions reduction)
- Cache-misses: -31.5% (improved locality, NO code explosion)
- Throughput: +5.41% (net positive)

Decision: ✅ STRONG GO (exceeds +3.0% GO threshold)
- D vs A: +5.41% >> +3.0%
- Sub-additivity: 1.72% << 20% acceptable
- Phase 73 hypothesis validated: -6.1% instructions/branches → +5.41% throughput

Promotion to Defaults:
- core/bench_profile.h: C5+C6 added to bench_apply_mixed_tinyv3_c7_common()
- scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh: C5+C6 ENV defaults added
- C5+C6 inline slots now PRESET DEFAULT for MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE

New Baseline: 44.65 M ops/s (36.75% of mimalloc, +5.41% from Phase 75-0)
M2 Target: 55% of mimalloc ≈ 66.8 M ops/s (remaining gap: 22.15 M ops/s)

7adbcdfcb6 Phase 54-60: Memory-Lean mode, Balanced mode stabilization, M1 (50%) achievement 
## Summary

Completed Phase 54-60 optimization work:

**Phase 54-56: Memory-Lean mode (LEAN+OFF prewarm suppression)**
- Implemented ss_mem_lean_env_box.h with ENV gates
- Balanced mode (LEAN+OFF) promoted as production default
- Result: +1.2% throughput, better stability, zero syscall overhead
- Added to bench_profile.h: MIXED_TINYV3_C7_BALANCED preset

**Phase 57: 60-min soak finalization**
- Balanced mode: 60-min soak, RSS drift 0%, CV 5.38%
- Speed-first mode: 60-min soak, RSS drift 0%, CV 1.58%
- Syscall budget: 1.25e-7/op (800× under target)
- Status: PRODUCTION-READY

**Phase 59: 50% recovery baseline rebase**
- hakmem FAST (Balanced): 59.184M ops/s, CV 1.31%
- mimalloc: 120.466M ops/s, CV 3.50%
- Ratio: 49.13% (M1 ACHIEVED within statistical noise)
- Superior stability: 2.68× better CV than mimalloc

**Phase 60: Alloc pass-down SSOT (NO-GO)**
- Implemented alloc_passdown_ssot_env_box.h
- Modified malloc_tiny_fast.h for SSOT pattern
- Result: -0.46% (NO-GO)
- Key lesson: SSOT not applicable where early-exit already optimized

## Key Metrics

- Performance: 49.13% of mimalloc (M1 effectively achieved)
- Stability: CV 1.31% (superior to mimalloc 3.50%)
- Syscall budget: 1.25e-7/op (excellent)
- RSS: 33MB stable, 0% drift over 60 minutes

## Files Added/Modified

New boxes:
- core/box/ss_mem_lean_env_box.h
- core/box/ss_release_policy_box.{h,c}
- core/box/alloc_passdown_ssot_env_box.h

Scripts:
- scripts/soak_mixed_single_process.sh
- scripts/analyze_epoch_tail_csv.py
- scripts/soak_mixed_rss.sh
- scripts/calculate_percentiles.py
- scripts/analyze_soak.py

Documentation: Phase 40-60 analysis documents

## Design Decisions

1. Profile separation (core/bench_profile.h):
   - MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE: Speed-first (no LEAN)
   - MIXED_TINYV3_C7_BALANCED: Balanced mode (LEAN+OFF)

2. Box Theory compliance:
   - All ENV gates reversible (HAKMEM_SS_MEM_LEAN, HAKMEM_ALLOC_PASSDOWN_SSOT)
   - Single conversion points maintained
   - No physical deletions (compile-out only)

3. Lessons learned:
   - SSOT effective only where redundancy exists (Phase 60 showed limits)
   - Branch prediction extremely effective (~0 cycles for well-predicted branches)
   - Early-exit pattern valuable even when seemingly redundant

8052e8b320 Phase 24-26: Hot path atomic telemetry prune (+2.00% cumulative) 
Summary:
- Phase 24 (alloc stats): +0.93% GO
- Phase 25 (free stats): +1.07% GO
- Phase 26 (diagnostics): -0.33% NEUTRAL (code cleanliness)
- Total: 11 atomics compiled-out, +2.00% improvement

Phase 24: OBSERVE tax prune (tiny_class_stats_box.h)
- Added HAKMEM_TINY_CLASS_STATS_COMPILED (default: 0)
- Wrapped 5 stats functions: uc_miss, warm_hit, shared_lock, tls_carve_*
- Result: +0.93% (baseline 56.675M vs compiled-in 56.151M ops/s)

Phase 25: Tiny free stats prune (tiny_superslab_free.inc.h)
- Added HAKMEM_TINY_FREE_STATS_COMPILED (default: 0)
- Wrapped g_free_ss_enter atomic in free hot path
- Result: +1.07% (baseline 57.017M vs compiled-in 56.415M ops/s)

Phase 26: Hot path diagnostic atomics prune
- Added 5 compile gates for low-frequency error counters:
  - HAKMEM_TINY_C7_FREE_COUNT_COMPILED
  - HAKMEM_TINY_HDR_MISMATCH_LOG_COMPILED
  - HAKMEM_TINY_HDR_META_MISMATCH_COMPILED
  - HAKMEM_TINY_METRIC_BAD_CLASS_COMPILED
  - HAKMEM_TINY_HDR_META_FAST_COMPILED
- Result: -0.33% NEUTRAL (within noise, kept for cleanliness)

Alignment with mimalloc principles:
- "No atomics on hot path" - telemetry moved to compile-time opt-in
- Fixed per-op tax elimination
- Production builds: maximum performance (atomics compiled-out)
- Research builds: full diagnostics (COMPILED=1)

ec87025da6 Phase 17 v2 (FORCE_LIBC fix) + Phase 19-1b (FastLane Direct) — GO (+5.88%) 
## Phase 17 v2: FORCE_LIBC Gap Validation Fix

**Critical bug fix**: Phase 17 v1 の測定が壊れていた

**Problem**: HAKMEM_FORCE_LIBC_ALLOC=1 が FastLane より後でしか見えず、
same-binary A/B が実質 "hakmem vs hakmem" になっていた（+0.39% 誤測定）

**Fix**: core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h:171 と :645 に g_force_libc_alloc==1 の
early bypass を追加、__libc_malloc/__libc_free に最初に直行

**Result**: 正しい同一バイナリ A/B 測定
- hakmem (FORCE_LIBC=0): 48.99M ops/s
- libc (FORCE_LIBC=1): 79.72M ops/s (+62.7%)
- system binary: 88.06M ops/s (+10.5% vs libc)

**Gap 分解**:
- Allocator 差: +62.7% (主戦場)
- Layout penalty: +10.5% (副次的)

**Conclusion**: Case A 確定 (allocator dominant, NOT layout)
Phase 17 v1 の Case B 判定は誤り。

Files:
- docs/analysis/PHASE17_FORCE_LIBC_GAP_VALIDATION_1_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md (v2)
- docs/analysis/PHASE17_FORCE_LIBC_GAP_VALIDATION_1_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md (updated)

---

## Phase 19: FastLane Instruction Reduction Analysis

**Goal**: libc との instruction gap (-35% instructions, -56% branches) を削減

**perf stat 分析** (FORCE_LIBC=0 vs 1, 200M ops):
- hakmem: 209.09 instructions/op, 52.33 branches/op
- libc: 135.92 instructions/op, 22.93 branches/op
- Delta: +73.17 instructions/op (+53.8%), +29.40 branches/op (+128.2%)

**Hot path** (perf report):
- front_fastlane_try_free: 23.97% cycles
- malloc wrapper: 23.84% cycles
- free wrapper: 6.82% cycles
- **Wrapper overhead: ~55% of all cycles**

**Reduction candidates**:
- A: Wrapper layer 削除 (-17.5 inst/op, +10-15% 期待)
- B: ENV snapshot 統合 (-10.0 inst/op, +5-8%)
- C: Stats 削除 (-5.0 inst/op, +3-5%)
- D: Header inline (-4.0 inst/op, +2-3%)
- E: Route fast path (-3.5 inst/op, +2-3%)

- docs/analysis/PHASE19_FASTLANE_INSTRUCTION_REDUCTION_1_DESIGN.md
- docs/analysis/PHASE19_FASTLANE_INSTRUCTION_REDUCTION_2_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md

---

## Phase 19-1b: FastLane Direct — GO (+5.88%)

**Strategy**: Wrapper layer を bypass し、core allocator を直接呼ぶ
- free() → free_tiny_fast() (not free_tiny_fast_hot)
- malloc() → malloc_tiny_fast()

**Phase 19-1 が NO-GO (-3.81%) だった原因**:
1. __builtin_expect(fastlane_direct_enabled(), 0) が逆効果（A/B 不公平）
2. free_tiny_fast_hot() が誤選択（free_tiny_fast() が勝ち筋）

**Phase 19-1b の修正**:
1. __builtin_expect() 削除
2. free_tiny_fast() を直接呼び出し

**Result** (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters, ws=400):
- Baseline (FASTLANE_DIRECT=0): 49.17M ops/s
- Optimized (FASTLANE_DIRECT=1): 52.06M ops/s
- **Delta: +5.88%** (GO 基準 +5% クリア)

**perf stat** (200M iters):
- Instructions/op: 199.90 → 169.45 (-30.45, -15.23%)
- Branches/op: 51.49 → 41.52 (-9.97, -19.36%)
- Cycles/op: 88.88 → 84.37 (-4.51, -5.07%)
- I-cache miss: 111K → 98K (-11.79%)

**Trade-offs** (acceptable):
- iTLB miss: +41.46% (front-end cost)
- dTLB miss: +29.15% (backend cost)
- Overall gain (+5.88%) outweighs costs

**Implementation**:
1. **ENV gate**: core/box/fastlane_direct_env_box.{h,c}
   - HAKMEM_FASTLANE_DIRECT=0/1 (default: 0, opt-in)
   - Single _Atomic global (wrapper キャッシュ問題を解決)

2. **Wrapper 修正**: core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h
   - malloc: direct call to malloc_tiny_fast() when FASTLANE_DIRECT=1
   - free: direct call to free_tiny_fast() when FASTLANE_DIRECT=1
   - Safety: !g_initialized では direct 使わない、fallback 維持

3. **Preset 昇格**: core/bench_profile.h:88
   - bench_setenv_default("HAKMEM_FASTLANE_DIRECT", "1")
   - Comment: +5.88% proven on Mixed, 10-run

4. **cleanenv 更新**: scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh:22
   - HAKMEM_FASTLANE_DIRECT=${HAKMEM_FASTLANE_DIRECT:-1}
   - Phase 9/10 と同様に昇格

**Verdict**: GO — 本線採用、プリセット昇格完了

**Rollback**: HAKMEM_FASTLANE_DIRECT=0 で既存 FastLane path に戻る

- core/box/fastlane_direct_env_box.{h,c} (new)
- core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h (modified)
- core/bench_profile.h (preset promotion)
- scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh (ENV default aligned)
- Makefile (new obj)
- docs/analysis/PHASE19_1B_FASTLANE_DIRECT_REVISED_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md

---

## Cumulative Performance

- Baseline (all optimizations OFF): ~40M ops/s (estimated)
- Current (Phase 19-1b): 52.06M ops/s
- **Cumulative gain: ~+30% from baseline**

Remaining gap to libc (79.72M):
- Current: 52.06M ops/s
- Target: 79.72M ops/s
- **Gap: +53.2%** (was +62.7% before Phase 19-1b)

Next: Phase 19-2 (ENV snapshot consolidation, +5-8% expected)

f8e7cf05b4 Phase 16 v1 NEUTRAL, Phase 17 Case B confirmed, Phase 18 design added 
## Phase 16 v1: Front FastLane Alloc LEGACY Direct — NEUTRAL (+0.62%)

Target: Reduce alloc-side fixed costs by adding LEGACY direct path to
FastLane entry, mirroring Phase 9/10 free-side winning pattern.

Result: +0.62% on Mixed (below +1.0% GO threshold) → NEUTRAL, freeze as
research box (default OFF).

Critical issue: Initial impl crashed (segfault) for C4-C7. Root cause:
unified_cache_refill() incompatibility. Safety fix: Limited to C0-C3
only (matching existing dualhot pattern).

Files:
- core/box/front_fastlane_alloc_legacy_direct_env_box.{h,c} (new)
- core/box/front_fastlane_box.h (LEGACY direct path, lines 93-119)
- core/bench_profile.h (env refresh sync)
- Makefile (new obj)
- docs/analysis/PHASE16_*.md (design/results/instructions)

ENV: HAKMEM_FRONT_FASTLANE_ALLOC_LEGACY_DIRECT=0 (default OFF, opt-in)

Verdict: Research box frozen. Phase 14-16 plateau confirms dispatch/
routing optimization ROI is exhausted post-Phase-6 FastLane collapse.

---

## Phase 17: FORCE_LIBC Gap Validation — Case B Confirmed

Purpose: Validate "system malloc faster" observation using same-binary
A/B testing to isolate allocator logic差 vs binary layout penalty.

Method:
- Same-binary toggle: HAKMEM_FORCE_LIBC_ALLOC=0/1 (bench_random_mixed_hakmem)
- System binary: bench_random_mixed_system (21K separate binary)
- Perf stat: Hardware counter analysis (I-cache, cycles, instructions)

Result: **Case B confirmed** — Allocator差 negligible, layout penalty dominates.

Gap breakdown (Mixed, 20M iters, ws=400):
- hakmem (FORCE_LIBC=0): 48.12M ops/s
- libc (FORCE_LIBC=1, same binary): 48.31M ops/s → +0.39% (noise level)
- system binary (21K): 83.85M ops/s → +73.57% vs libc, +74.26% vs hakmem

Perf stat (200M iters):
- I-cache misses: 153K (hakmem) → 68K (system) = -55% (smoking gun)
- Cycles: 17.9B → 10.2B = -43%
- Instructions: 41.3B → 21.5B = -48%
- Binary size: 653K → 21K (30x difference)

Root cause: Binary size (30x) causes I-cache thrashing. Code bloat >>
algorithmic efficiency.

Conclusion: Phase 12's "system malloc 1.6x faster" was real, but
misattributed. Gap is layout/I-cache, NOT allocator algorithm.

Files:
- docs/analysis/PHASE17_*.md (results/instructions)
- scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh (Phase 9/10 defaults aligned)

Next: Phase 18 Hot Text Isolation (layout optimization, not algorithm opt)

---

## Phase 18: Hot Text Isolation — Design Added

Purpose: Reduce I-cache misses + instruction footprint via layout control
(binary optimization, not allocator algorithm changes).

Strategy (v1 → v2 progression):

v1 (TU split + hot/cold attrs + optional gc-sections):
- Target: +2% throughput (GO threshold, realistic for layout tweaks)
- Secondary: I-cache -10%, instructions -5% (direction confirmation)
- Risk: Low (reversible via build knob)
- Expected: +0-2% (NEUTRAL likely, but validates approach)

v2 (BENCH_MINIMAL compile-out):
- Target: +10-20% throughput (本命)
- Method: Conditional compilation removes stats/ENV/debug from hot path
- Expected: Instruction count -30-40% → significant I-cache improvement

Files:
- docs/analysis/PHASE18_*.md (design/instructions)
- CURRENT_TASK.md (Phase 17 complete, Phase 18 v1/v2 plan)

Build gate: HOT_TEXT_ISOLATION=0/1 (Makefile knob)

Next: Implement Phase 18 v1 (TU split first, BENCH_MINIMAL if v1 NEUTRAL)

87fa27518c Phase 15 v1: UnifiedCache FIFO→LIFO NEUTRAL (-0.70% Mixed, +0.42% C7) 
Transform existing array-based UnifiedCache from FIFO ring to LIFO stack.

A/B Results:
- Mixed (16-1024B): -0.70% (52,965,966 → 52,593,948 ops/s)
- C7-only (1025-2048B): +0.42% (78,010,783 → 78,335,509 ops/s)

Verdict: NEUTRAL (both below +1.0% GO threshold) - freeze as research box

Implementation:
- L0 ENV gate: tiny_unified_lifo_env_box.{h,c} (HAKMEM_TINY_UNIFIED_LIFO=0/1)
- L1 LIFO ops: tiny_unified_lifo_box.h (unified_cache_try_pop/push_lifo)
- L2 integration: tiny_front_hot_box.h (mode check at entry)
- Reuses existing slots[] array (no intrusive pointers)

Root Causes:
1. Mode check overhead (tiny_unified_lifo_enabled() call)
2. Minimal LIFO vs FIFO locality delta in practice
3. Existing FIFO ring already well-optimized

Bonus Fix: LTO bug for tiny_c7_preserve_header_enabled() (Phase 13/14 latent issue)
- Converted static inline to extern + non-inline implementation
- Fixes undefined reference during LTO linking

f8fb05bc13 Phase 14 v1: Pointer-Chase Reduction (tcache) NEUTRAL (+0.20%) 
Implementation:
- Intrusive LIFO tcache layer (L1) before UnifiedCache
- TLS per-class bins (head pointer + count)
- Intrusive next pointers (via tiny_next_store/load SSOT)
- Cap: 64 blocks per class (default)
- ENV: HAKMEM_TINY_TCACHE=0/1 (default: 0, OFF)

A/B Test Results (Mixed 10-run):
- Baseline (TCACHE=0): 51,083,379 ops/s
- Optimized (TCACHE=1): 51,186,838 ops/s
- Mean delta: +0.20% (below +1.0% GO threshold)
- Median delta: +0.59%

Verdict: NEUTRAL - Freeze as research box (default OFF)

Root Cause (v1 wiring incomplete):
- Free side pushes to tcache via unified_cache_push()
- Alloc hot path (tiny_hot_alloc_fast) doesn't consume tcache
- tcache becomes "sink" without alloc-side pop → ROI not measurable

- Verdict: NEUTRAL (+0.78%)
- Implementation: HAKMEM_TINY_C7_PRESERVE_HEADER ENV gate (default OFF)
- Makes C7 nextptr offset conditional (0→1 when enabled)
- 4-point matrix A/B test results:

  * Case C (C7_PRESERVE=1): 51.36M ops/s (-0.26%)
  * Case D (both): 51.89M ops/s (+0.78% NEUTRAL)
- Action: Freeze as research box (default OFF, manual opt-in)

Phase 5 E5-2: Header Write-Once retest (promotion test)
- Verdict: NEUTRAL (+0.54%)
- Motivation: Phase 13 Case B showed +1.13%, re-tested with dedicated 20-run
- Results (20-run):
  * Case A (baseline): 51.10M ops/s
  * Case B (WRITE_ONCE=1): 51.37M ops/s (+0.54%)
- Previous test: +0.45% (consistent with NEUTRAL)
- Action: Keep as research box (default OFF, manual opt-in)

Key findings:

71b1354d32 Phase 10: FREE-TINY-FAST MONO LEGACY DIRECT (GO +1.89%) 
Results:
- A/B test: +1.89% on Mixed (10-run, clean env)
- Baseline: 51.96M ops/s
- Optimized: 52.94M ops/s
- Improvement: +984K ops/s (+1.89%)
- C6-heavy verification: +7.86% (nonlegacy_mask works correctly, no misfires)

Strategy:
- Extend Phase 9 (C0-C3 DUALHOT) to C4-C7 LEGACY DIRECT
- Fail-Fast principle: Never misclassify MID/ULTRA/V7 as LEGACY
- nonlegacy_mask: Cached at init, hot path uses single bit operation

Success factors:
1. Performance improvement: +1.89% (1.9x GO threshold)
2. Safety verified: nonlegacy_mask prevents MID v3 misfire in C6-heavy
3. Phase 9 coexistence: C0-C3 (Phase 9) + C4-C7 (Phase 10) = full LEGACY coverage
4. Minimal overhead: Single bit operation in hot path (mask & (1u<<class))

Implementation:
- Patch 1: ENV gate box (free_tiny_fast_mono_legacy_direct_env_box.h)
  - ENV: HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_FAST_MONO_LEGACY_DIRECT=0/1 (default 0)
  - nonlegacy_mask cached (reuses free_policy_fast_v2_nonlegacy_mask())
  - Probe window: 64 (avoid bench_profile putenv race)
- Patch 2: Early-exit in free_tiny_fast() (malloc_tiny_fast.h)
  - Conditions: !nonlegacy_mask, route==LEGACY, !LARSON_FIX, done==1
  - Direct call: tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base()
- Patch 3: Visibility (free_path_stats_box.h)
  - mono_legacy_direct_hit counter (compile-out in release)
- Patch 4: cleanenv extension (run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh)
  - ENV leak protection

Safety verification (C6-heavy):
- OFF: 19.75M ops/s
- ON: 21.30M ops/s (+7.86%)
- nonlegacy_mask correctly excludes C6 (MID v3 active)
- Improvement from C0-C5, C7 direct path acceleration

Files modified:
- core/bench_profile.h: add to MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset
- core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h: early-exit insertion
- core/box/free_path_stats_box.h: counter
- core/box/free_tiny_fast_mono_legacy_direct_env_box.h: NEW (ENV gate + nonlegacy_mask)
- scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh: ENV leak protection

Health check: PASSED (all profiles)

Promotion: Added to MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset (default ON, opt-out)

Rollback: HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_FAST_MONO_LEGACY_DIRECT=0

871034da1f Phase 9: FREE-TINY-FAST MONO DUALHOT (GO +2.72%) 
Results:
- A/B test: +2.72% on Mixed (10-run, clean env)
- Baseline: 48.89M ops/s
- Optimized: 50.22M ops/s
- Improvement: +1.33M ops/s (+2.72%)
- Stability: Standard deviation reduced by 60.8% (2.44M → 955K ops/s)

Strategy:
- Transplant C0-C3 "second hot" path to monolithic free_tiny_fast()
- Early-exit within monolithic (no hot/cold split)
- FastLane free now benefits from C0-C3 direct path

Success factors:
1. Performance improvement: +2.72% (2.7x GO threshold)
2. Stability improvement: 2.6x more stable (stdev 60.8% reduction)
3. Learned from Phase 7 failure:
   - Phase 7: Function split (hot/cold) → NO-GO
   - Phase 9: Early-exit within monolithic → GO
4. FastLane free compatibility: C0-C3 direct path now works with FastLane
5. Policy snapshot overhead reduction: C0-C3 (48% of Mixed) skip route lookup

Implementation:
- Patch 1: ENV gate box (free_tiny_fast_mono_dualhot_env_box.h)
  - ENV: HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_FAST_MONO_DUALHOT=0/1 (default 0)
  - Probe window: 64 (avoid bench_profile putenv race)
- Patch 2: Early-exit in free_tiny_fast() (malloc_tiny_fast.h)
  - Conditions: class_idx <= 3, !LARSON_FIX, route==LEGACY
  - Direct call: tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base()
- Patch 3: Visibility (free_path_stats_box.h)
  - mono_dualhot_hit counter (compile-out in release)
- Patch 4: cleanenv extension (run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh)

be723ca052 Phase 8: FREE-STATIC-ROUTE ENV Cache Hardening (GO +2.61%) 
Results:
- A/B test: +2.61% on Mixed (10-run, clean env)
- Baseline: 49.26M ops/s
- Optimized: 50.55M ops/s
- Improvement: +1.29M ops/s (+2.61%)

Strategy:
- Fix ENV cache accident (main前キャッシュ事故の修正)
- Add refresh mechanism to sync with bench_profile putenv
- Ensure Phase 3 D1 optimization works reliably

Success factors:
1. Performance improvement: +2.61% (existing win-box now reliable)
2. ENV cache accident fixed: refresh mechanism works correctly
3. Standard deviation improved: 867K → 336K ops/s (61% reduction)
4. Baseline quality improved: existing optimization now guaranteed

Implementation:
- Patch 1: Make ENV gate refreshable (tiny_free_route_cache_env_box.{h,c})
  - Changed static int to extern _Atomic int
  - Added tiny_free_static_route_refresh_from_env()
- Patch 2: Integrate refresh into bench_profile.h
  - Call refresh after bench_setenv_default() group
- Patch 3: Update Makefile for new .c file

ENV cache fix verification:
- [FREE_STATIC_ROUTE] enabled appears twice (refresh working)
- bench_profile putenv now reliably reflected

Files modified:
- core/box/tiny_free_route_cache_env_box.h: extern + refresh API
- core/box/tiny_free_route_cache_env_box.c: NEW (global state + refresh)
- core/bench_profile.h: add refresh call
- Makefile: add new .o file

Health check: PASSED (all profiles)

Rollback: HAKMEM_FREE_STATIC_ROUTE=0 or revert Patch 1/2
