d54893ea1d Phase 3 C3: Static Routing A/B Test ADOPT (+2.20% Mixed gain)
Step 2 & 3 Complete:
- A/B test (Mixed 10-run): STATIC_ROUTE=0 (38.91M) → =1 (39.77M) = +2.20% avg
  - Median gain: +1.98%
  - Result:  GO (exceeds +1.0% threshold)

- Decision:  ADOPT into MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset
  - bench_profile.h line 77: HAKMEM_TINY_STATIC_ROUTE=1 default
  - Learner auto-disables static route when HAKMEM_SMALL_LEARNER_V7_ENABLED=1

Implementation Summary:
- core/box/tiny_static_route_box.{h,c}: Research box (Step 1A)
- core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h: Route lookup integration (Step 1B, lines 249-256)
- core/bench_profile.h: Bench sync + preset adoption

Cumulative Phase 2-3 Gains:
- B3 (Routing shape): +2.89%
- B4 (Wrapper split): +1.47%
- C3 (Static routing): +2.20%
- Total: ~6.8% (35.2M → ~39.8M ops/s)

Next: Phase 3 C1 (TLS Prefetch, expected +2-4%)

f90e261c57 Complete Phase 1.2: Centralize layout definitions in tiny_layout_box.h
Changes:
- Updated ptr_conversion_box.h: Use TINY_HEADER_SIZE instead of hardcoded -1
- Updated tiny_front_hot_box.h: Use tiny_user_offset() for BASE->USER conversion
- Updated tiny_front_cold_box.h: Use tiny_user_offset() for BASE->USER conversion
- Added tiny_layout_box.h includes to both front box headers

Box theory: Layout parameters now isolated in dedicated Box component.
All offset arithmetic centralized - no scattered +1/-1 arithmetic.

Verified: Build succeeds (make clean && make shared -j8)

c2716f5c01 Implement Phase 2: Headerless Allocator Support (Partial)
- Feature: Added HAKMEM_TINY_HEADERLESS toggle (A/B testing)
- Feature: Implemented Headerless layout logic (Offset=0)
- Refactor: Centralized layout definitions in tiny_layout_box.h
- Refactor: Abstracted pointer arithmetic in free path via ptr_conversion_box.h
- Verification: sh8bench passes in Headerless mode (No TLS_SLL_HDR_RESET)
- Known Issue: Regression in Phase 1 mode due to blind pointer conversion logic

04186341c1 Phase 4-Step2: Add Hot/Cold Path Box (+7.3% performance)
Implemented Hot/Cold Path separation using Box pattern for Tiny allocations:

Performance Improvement (without PGO):
- Baseline (Phase 26-A):     53.3 M ops/s
- Hot/Cold Box (Phase 4-Step2): 57.2 M ops/s
- Gain: +7.3% (+3.9 M ops/s)

Implementation:
1. core/box/tiny_front_hot_box.h - Ultra-fast hot path (1 branch)
   - Removed range check (caller guarantees valid class_idx)
   - Inline cache hit path with branch prediction hints
   - Debug metrics with zero overhead in Release builds

2. core/box/tiny_front_cold_box.h - Slow cold path (noinline, cold)
   - Refill logic (batch allocation from SuperSlab)
   - Drain logic (batch free to SuperSlab)
   - Error reporting and diagnostics

3. core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h - Updated to use Hot/Cold Boxes
   - Hot path: tiny_hot_alloc_fast() (1 branch: cache empty check)
   - Cold path: tiny_cold_refill_and_alloc() (noinline, cold attribute)
   - Clear separation improves i-cache locality

Branch Analysis:
- Baseline: 4-5 branches in hot path (range check + cache check + refill logic mixed)
- Hot/Cold Box: 1 branch in hot path (cache empty check only)
- Reduction: 3-4 branches eliminated from hot path

Design Principles (Box Pattern):
 Single Responsibility: Hot path = cache hit only, Cold path = refill/errors
 Clear Contract: Hot returns NULL on miss, Cold handles miss
 Observable: Debug metrics (TINY_HOT_METRICS_*) gated by NDEBUG
 Safe: Branch prediction hints (TINY_HOT_LIKELY/UNLIKELY)
 Testable: Isolated hot/cold paths, easy A/B testing

PGO Status:
- Temporarily disabled (build issues with __gcov_merge_time_profile)
- Will re-enable PGO in future commit after resolving gcc/lto issues
- Current benchmarks are without PGO (fair A/B comparison)

Other Changes:
- .gitignore: Added *.d files (dependency files, auto-generated)
- Makefile: PGO targets temporarily disabled (show informational message)
- build_pgo.sh: Temporarily disabled (show "PGO paused" message)

Next: Phase 4-Step3 (Front Config Box, target +5-8%)
