Moe Charm (CI) 0feeccdcef Phase 2 B1/B3/B4 preparation: Analysis & ENV gate setup
## 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
