6afaa5703a Phase 12-1.1: EMPTY Slab Detection + Immediate Reuse (+13% improvement, 10.2M→11.5M ops/s) 
Implementation of Task-sensei Priority 1 recommendation: Add empty_mask to SuperSlab
for immediate EMPTY slab detection and reuse, reducing Stage 3 (mmap) overhead.

## Changes

### 1. SuperSlab Structure (core/superslab/superslab_types.h)
- Added `empty_mask` (uint32_t): Bitmap for EMPTY slabs (used==0)
- Added `empty_count` (uint8_t): Quick check for EMPTY slab availability

### 2. EMPTY Detection API (core/box/ss_hot_cold_box.h)
- Added `ss_is_slab_empty()`: Returns true if slab is completely EMPTY
- Added `ss_mark_slab_empty()`: Marks slab as EMPTY (highest reuse priority)
- Added `ss_clear_slab_empty()`: Removes EMPTY state when reactivated
- Updated `ss_update_hot_cold_indices()`: Classify EMPTY/Hot/Cold slabs
- Updated `ss_init_hot_cold()`: Initialize empty_mask/empty_count

### 3. Free Path Integration (core/box/free_local_box.c)
- After `meta->used--`, check if `meta->used == 0`
- If true, call `ss_mark_slab_empty()` to update empty_mask
- Enables immediate EMPTY detection on every free operation

### 4. Shared Pool Stage 0.5 (core/hakmem_shared_pool.c)
- New Stage 0.5 before Stage 1: Scan existing SuperSlabs for EMPTY slabs
- Iterate over `g_super_reg_by_class[class_idx][]` (first 16 entries)
- Check `ss->empty_count > 0` → scan `empty_mask` with `__builtin_ctz()`
- Reuse EMPTY slab directly, avoiding Stage 3 (mmap/lock overhead)
- ENV control: `HAKMEM_SS_EMPTY_REUSE=1` (default OFF for A/B testing)
- ENV tunable: `HAKMEM_SS_EMPTY_SCAN_LIMIT=N` (default 16 SuperSlabs)

## Performance Results

```
Benchmark: Random Mixed 256B (100K iterations)

OFF (default):  10.2M ops/s (baseline)
ON  (ENV=1):    11.5M ops/s (+13.0% improvement) ✅
```

## Expected Impact (from Task-sensei analysis)

**Current bottleneck**:
- Stage 1: 2-5% hit rate (free list broken)
- Stage 2: 3-8% hit rate (rare UNUSED)
- Stage 3: 87-95% hit rate (lock + mmap overhead) ← bottleneck

**Expected with Phase 12-1.1**:
- Stage 0.5: 20-40% hit rate (EMPTY scan)
- Stage 1-2: 20-30% hit rate (combined)
- Stage 3: 30-50% hit rate (significantly reduced)

**Theoretical max**: 25M → 55-70M ops/s (+120-180%)

## Current Gap Analysis

**Observed**: 11.5M ops/s (+13%)
**Expected**: 55-70M ops/s (+120-180%)
**Gap**: Performance regression or missing complementary optimizations

Possible causes:
1. Phase 3d-C (25.1M→10.2M) regression - unrelated to this change
2. EMPTY scan overhead (16 SuperSlabs × empty_count check)
3. Missing Priority 2-5 optimizations (Lazy SS deallocation, etc.)
4. Stage 0.5 too conservative (scan_limit=16, should be higher?)

## Usage

```bash
# Enable EMPTY reuse optimization
export HAKMEM_SS_EMPTY_REUSE=1

# Optional: increase scan limit (trade-off: throughput vs latency)
export HAKMEM_SS_EMPTY_SCAN_LIMIT=32

./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 100000 256 42
```

## Next Steps

**Priority 1-A**: Investigate Phase 3d-C→12-1.1 regression (25.1M→10.2M)
**Priority 1-B**: Implement Phase 12-1.2 (Lazy SS deallocation) for complementary effect
**Priority 1-C**: Profile Stage 0.5 overhead (scan_limit tuning)

## Files Modified

Core implementation:
- `core/superslab/superslab_types.h` - empty_mask/empty_count fields
- `core/box/ss_hot_cold_box.h` - EMPTY detection/marking API
- `core/box/free_local_box.c` - Free path EMPTY detection
- `core/hakmem_shared_pool.c` - Stage 0.5 EMPTY scan

ccf604778c 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)

72b38bc994 Phase E3-FINAL: Fix Box API offset bugs - ALL classes now use correct offsets 
## Root Cause Analysis (GPT5)

**Physical Layout Constraints**:
- Class 0: 8B = [1B header][7B payload] → offset 1 = 9B needed = ❌ IMPOSSIBLE
- Class 1-6: >=16B = [1B header][15B+ payload] → offset 1 = ✅ POSSIBLE
- Class 7: 1KB → offset 0 (compatibility)

**Correct Specification**:
- HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_CLASSIDX != 0:
  - Class 0, 7: next at offset 0 (overwrites header when on freelist)
  - Class 1-6: next at offset 1 (after header)
- HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_CLASSIDX == 0:
  - All classes: next at offset 0

**Previous Bug**:
- Attempted "ALL classes offset 1" unification
- Class 0 with offset 1 caused immediate SEGV (9B > 8B block size)
- Mixed 2-arg/3-arg API caused confusion

## Fixes Applied

### 1. Restored 3-Argument Box API (core/box/tiny_next_ptr_box.h)
```c
// Correct signatures
void tiny_next_write(int class_idx, void* base, void* next_value)
void* tiny_next_read(int class_idx, const void* base)

// Correct offset calculation
size_t offset = (class_idx == 0 || class_idx == 7) ? 0 : 1;
```

### 2. Updated 123+ Call Sites Across 34 Files
- hakmem_tiny_hot_pop_v4.inc.h (4 locations)
- hakmem_tiny_fastcache.inc.h (3 locations)
- hakmem_tiny_tls_list.h (12 locations)
- superslab_inline.h (5 locations)
- tiny_fastcache.h (3 locations)
- ptr_trace.h (macro definitions)
- tls_sll_box.h (2 locations)
- + 27 additional files

Pattern: `tiny_next_read(base)` → `tiny_next_read(class_idx, base)`
Pattern: `tiny_next_write(base, next)` → `tiny_next_write(class_idx, base, next)`

### 3. Added Sentinel Detection Guards
- tiny_fast_push(): Block nodes with sentinel in ptr or ptr->next
- tls_list_push(): Block nodes with sentinel in ptr or ptr->next
- Defense-in-depth against remote free sentinel leakage

## Verification (GPT5 Report)

**Test Command**: `./out/release/bench_random_mixed_hakmem --iterations=70000`

**Results**:
- ✅ Main loop completed successfully
- ✅ Drain phase completed successfully
- ✅ NO SEGV (previous crash at iteration 66151 is FIXED)
- ℹ️ Final log: "tiny_alloc(1024) failed" is normal fallback to Mid/ACE layers

**Analysis**:
- Class 0 immediate SEGV: ✅ RESOLVED (correct offset 0 now used)
- 66K iteration crash: ✅ RESOLVED (offset consistency fixed)
- Box API conflicts: ✅ RESOLVED (unified 3-arg API)

## Technical Details

### Offset Logic Justification
```
Class 0:  8B block → next pointer (8B) fits ONLY at offset 0
Class 1: 16B block → next pointer (8B) fits at offset 1 (after 1B header)
Class 2: 32B block → next pointer (8B) fits at offset 1
...
Class 6: 512B block → next pointer (8B) fits at offset 1
Class 7: 1024B block → offset 0 for legacy compatibility
```

### Files Modified (Summary)
- Core API: `box/tiny_next_ptr_box.h`
- Hot paths: `hakmem_tiny_hot_pop*.inc.h`, `tiny_fastcache.h`
- TLS layers: `hakmem_tiny_tls_list.h`, `hakmem_tiny_tls_ops.h`
- SuperSlab: `superslab_inline.h`, `tiny_superslab_*.inc.h`
- Refill: `hakmem_tiny_refill.inc.h`, `tiny_refill_opt.h`
- Free paths: `tiny_free_magazine.inc.h`, `tiny_superslab_free.inc.h`
- Documentation: Multiple Phase E3 reports

## Remaining Work

None for Box API offset bugs - all structural issues resolved.

Future enhancements (non-critical):
- Periodic `grep -R '*(void**)' core/` to detect direct pointer access violations
- Enforce Box API usage via static analysis
- Document offset rationale in architecture docs

8feeb63c2b release: silence runtime logs and stabilize benches 
- Fix HAKMEM_LOG gating to use  (numeric) so release builds compile out logs.
- Switch remaining prints to HAKMEM_LOG or guard with :
  - core/box/hak_core_init.inc.h (EVO sample warning, shutdown banner)
  - core/hakmem_config.c (config/feature prints)
  - core/hakmem.c (BigCache eviction prints)
  - core/hakmem_tiny_superslab.c (OOM, head init/expand, C7 init diagnostics)
  - core/hakmem_elo.c (init/evolution)
  - core/hakmem_batch.c (init/flush/stats)
  - core/hakmem_ace.c (33KB route diagnostics)
  - core/hakmem_ace_controller.c (ACE logs macro → no-op in release)
  - core/hakmem_site_rules.c (init banner)
  - core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h (unknown method error → release-gated)
- Rebuilt benches and verified quiet output for release:
  - bench_fixed_size_hakmem/system
  - bench_random_mixed_hakmem/system
  - bench_mid_large_mt_hakmem/system
  - bench_comprehensive_hakmem/system

Note: Kept debug logs available in debug builds and when explicitly toggled via env.

1010a961fb Tiny: fix header/stride mismatch and harden refill paths 
- Root cause: header-based class indexing (HEADER_CLASSIDX=1) wrote a 1-byte
  header during allocation, but linear carve/refill and initial slab capacity
  still used bare class block sizes. This mismatch could overrun slab usable
  space and corrupt freelists, causing reproducible SEGV at ~100k iters.

Changes
- Superslab: compute capacity with effective stride (block_size + header for
  classes 0..6; class7 remains headerless) in superslab_init_slab(). Add a
  debug-only bound check in superslab_alloc_from_slab() to fail fast if carve
  would exceed usable bytes.
- Refill (non-P0 and P0): use header-aware stride for all linear carving and
  TLS window bump operations. Ensure alignment/validation in tiny_refill_opt.h
  also uses stride, not raw class size.
- Drain: keep existing defense-in-depth for remote sentinel and sanitize nodes
  before splicing into freelist (already present).

Notes
- This unifies the memory layout across alloc/linear-carve/refill with a single
  stride definition and keeps class7 (1024B) headerless as designed.
- Debug builds add fail-fast checks; release builds remain lean.

Next
- Re-run Tiny benches (256/1024B) in debug to confirm stability, then in
  release. If any remaining crash persists, bisect with HAKMEM_TINY_P0_BATCH_REFILL=0
  to isolate P0 batch carve, and continue reducing branch-miss as planned.
