f99ef77ad7 Phase 29: Pool Hotbox v2 Stats Prune - NO-OP (infrastructure ready) 
Target: g_pool_hotbox_v2_stats atomics (12 total) in Pool v2
Result: 0.00% impact (code path inactive by default, ENV-gated)
Verdict: NO-OP - Maintain compile-out for future-proofing

Audit Results:
- Classification: 12/12 TELEMETRY (100% observational)
- Counters: alloc_calls, alloc_fast, alloc_refill, alloc_refill_fail,
  alloc_fallback_v1, free_calls, free_fast, free_fallback_v1,
  page_of_fail_* (4 failure counters)
- Verification: All stats/logging only, zero flow control usage
- Phase 28 lesson applied: Traced all usages, confirmed no CORRECTNESS

Key Finding: Pool v2 OFF by default
- Requires HAKMEM_POOL_V2_ENABLED=1 to activate
- Benchmark never executes Pool v2 code paths
- Compile-out has zero performance impact (code never runs)

Implementation (future-ready):
- Added HAKMEM_POOL_HOTBOX_V2_STATS_COMPILED (default: 0)
- Wrapped 13 atomic write sites in core/hakmem_pool.c
- Pattern: #if HAKMEM_POOL_HOTBOX_V2_STATS_COMPILED ... #endif
- Expected impact if Pool v2 enabled: +0.3~0.8% (HOT+WARM atomics)

A/B Test Results:
- Baseline (COMPILED=0): 52.98 M ops/s (±0.43M, 0.81% stdev)
- Research (COMPILED=1): 53.31 M ops/s (±0.80M, 1.50% stdev)
- Delta: -0.62% (noise, not real effect - code path not active)

Critical Lesson Learned (NEW):
Phase 29 revealed ENV-gated features can appear on hot paths but never
execute. Updated audit checklist:
1. Classify atomics (CORRECTNESS vs TELEMETRY)
2. Verify no flow control usage
3. NEW: Verify code path is ACTIVE in benchmark (check ENV gates)
4. Implement compile-out
5. A/B test

Verification methods added to documentation:
- rg "getenv.*FEATURE" to check ENV gates
- perf record/report to verify execution
- Debug printf for quick validation

Cumulative Progress (Phase 24-29):
- Phase 24 (class stats): +0.93% GO
- Phase 25 (free stats): +1.07% GO
- Phase 26 (diagnostics): -0.33% NEUTRAL
- Phase 27 (unified cache): +0.74% GO
- Phase 28 (bg spill): NO-OP (all CORRECTNESS)
- Phase 29 (pool v2): NO-OP (inactive code path)
- Total: 17 atomics removed, +2.74% improvement

Documentation:
- PHASE29_POOL_HOTBOX_V2_AUDIT.md: Complete audit with TELEMETRY classification
- PHASE29_POOL_HOTBOX_V2_STATS_RESULTS.md: Results + new lesson learned
- ATOMIC_PRUNE_CUMULATIVE_SUMMARY.md: Updated with Phase 29 + new checklist
- PHASE29_COMPLETE.md: Completion summary with recommendations

Decision: Keep compile-out despite NO-OP
- Code cleanliness (binary size reduction)
- Future-proofing (ready when Pool v2 enabled)
- Consistency with Phase 24-28 pattern

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)

b6f4ec83a3 Phase 19-4a/4c: Remove UNLIKELY hints from Wrapper + Tiny Direct gates 
**Modified Files**:
- core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h (4 locations)

**Changes**:

Phase 19-4a: Wrapper ENV Snapshot UNLIKELY Hints
- Line 225: malloc_wrapper_env_snapshot_enabled()
- Line 759: free_wrapper_env_snapshot_enabled()
- Before: `if (__builtin_expect(xxx_enabled(), 0))`
- After: `if (xxx_enabled())`
- Rationale: Gates are ON by default in presets, UNLIKELY hint is incorrect

Phase 19-4c: Free Tiny Direct UNLIKELY Hint
- Line 712: free_tiny_direct_enabled()
- Before: `if (__builtin_expect(free_tiny_direct_enabled(), 0))`
- After: `if (free_tiny_direct_enabled())`
- Rationale: Gate is ON by default in presets, UNLIKELY hint is incorrect

**A/B Test Results** (bench_random_mixed_hakmem, 200M ops, 5-run):

Phase 19-4a (Wrapper):
| Metric | Baseline | Optimized | Delta |
|--------|----------|-----------|-------|
| Cycles (mean) | 19.089B | 19.058B | -0.16% |

**Verdict**: NEUTRAL (throughput +0.16%, instructions -0.79%)

Phase 19-4c (Free Tiny Direct):
| Metric | Baseline | Optimized | Delta |
|--------|----------|-----------|-------|
| Cycles (mean) | 18.952B | 18.785B | -0.88% |
| Cycles (median) | 18.933B | 18.780B | -0.81% |
| Instructions | 45.227B | 45.227B | -0.0005% |
| Cache-misses | 933K | 777K | -16.7% |
| iTLB-misses | 25.9K | 25.2K | -2.8% |
| dTLB-misses | 76.3K | 61.7K | -19.2% |
| Throughput | - | - | +0.88% |
**Verdict**: NEUTRAL → GO (throughput +0.88%, cache -16.7%)

Phase 19-4b (Free HotCold): NO-GO
- Throughput loss: -2.87%
- Instructions increase: +0.90%
- REVERTED (hint remains as UNLIKELY=0)

**Cumulative Impact**:
- Throughput: ~+1.0% (19-4a: +0.16% + 19-4c: +0.88%)
- Cache efficiency: -16.7% misses (19-4c)
- Code quality: Instructions -0.79% (19-4a)

**Decision**: MERGE
- Both 19-4a and 19-4c show positive or neutral impact
- Cache improvements are significant (19-4c)
- No regressions observed

Moe Charm (CI)
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。

---

## 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_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

- 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)

bc2c5ded76 Phase 18 v2: BENCH_MINIMAL — NEUTRAL (+2.32% throughput, -5.06% instructions) 
## Summary

Phase 18 v2 attempted instruction count reduction via conditional compilation:
- Stats collection → no-op
- ENV checks → constant propagation
- Binary size: 653K → 649K (-4K, -0.6%)

Result: NEUTRAL (below GO threshold)
- Throughput: +2.32% (target: +5% minimum) ❌
- Instructions: -5.06% (target: -15% minimum) ❌
- Cycles: -3.26% (positive signal)
- Branches: -8.67% (positive signal)
- Cache-misses: +30% (unexpected, likely layout)

## Analysis

Positive signals:
- Implementation correct (Branch -8.67%, Instruction -5.06%)
- Binary size reduced (-4K)
- Modest throughput gain (+2.32%)
- Cycles and branch overhead reduced

Negative signals:
- Instruction reduction insufficient (-5.06% << -15% smoking gun)
- Throughput gain below +5% threshold
- Cache-misses increased (+30%, layout noise?)

## Verdict

Freeze Phase 18 v2 (weak positive, insufficient for production).

Per user guidance: "If instructions don't drop clearly, continuation value is thin."
-5.06% instruction reduction is marginal. Allocator micro-optimization plateau confirmed.

## Key Insight

Phase 17 showed:
- IPC = 2.30 (consistent, memory-bound)
- I-cache gap: 55% (Phase 17: 153K → 68K)
- Instruction gap: 48% (Phase 17: 41.3B → 21.5B)

Phase 18 v1/v2 results confirm:
- Layout tweaks are fragile (v1: I-cache +91%)
- Instruction removal is modest benefit (v2: -5.06%)
- Allocator is NOT the bottleneck (IPC constant, memory-limited)

## Recommendation

Do NOT continue Phase 18 micro-optimizations.

Next frontier requires different approach:
1. Architectural redesign (SIMD, lock-free, batching)
2. Memory layout optimization (cache-friendly structures)
3. Broader profiling (not allocator-focused)

Or: Accept that 48M → 85M (75% gap) is achievable with current architecture.

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)

- 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

cbb35ee27f Phase 13 v1 + E5-2 retest: Both NEUTRAL, freeze as research boxes 
Phase 13 v1: Header Write Elimination (C7 preserve header)
- 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 A (baseline): 51.49M ops/s
  * Case B (WRITE_ONCE=1): 52.07M ops/s (+1.13%)
  * 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:
- Header write tax optimization shows consistent NEUTRAL results
- Neither Phase 13 v1 nor E5-2 reaches GO threshold (+1.0%)
- Both implemented as reversible ENV gates for future research

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

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

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)

- 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

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

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)

Target: Eliminate tiny_route_for_class() overhead in free path
- Perf finding: 4.39% self + 24.78% children (free bottleneck)
- Approach: Use cached route_kind (like Phase 3 C3 for alloc)

Implementation:
- core/box/tiny_free_route_cache_env_box.h (new)
  * 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

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

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%)

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

76a5bb568a Phase: Pool API Modularization - Step 7: Extract pool_alloc_v2_box.h 
Extract 277 lines: hak_pool_try_alloc_v2_impl() - LARGEST COMPLEXITY
- New box: core/box/pool_alloc_v2_box.h (v2 alloc with hotbox, MF2, TC drain, TLS)
- Updated: pool_api.inc.h (add include, remove extracted function)
- Build: OK, bench_mid_large_mt_hakmem: 8.86M ops/s (baseline ~8M, within ±2%)
- Risk: MEDIUM (complex function with 30+ dependencies, validated)
- Note: Avoided forward declarations for types/macros already in compilation unit

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)
