* Remove the large-array cliff past 2^20 elements
Arrays longer than 2^20 kept every element beyond the cutoff in a sorted
side store, and each indexed write to an existing entry deleted and
reinserted it, so fill + indexed read/write loops went quadratic
(n=1.2M: 10.4s on macOS arm64, 12.6s on Linux x64).
- Rewrite existing sparse entries in place.
- Let dense storage grow past the cutoff for contiguous extension of a
populated prefix, bulk range writes, and sparse tails that reach 3/16
density, migrating side-store entries so index < cap stays dense.
- Make the side store a deque with front slack so descending first-touch
writes and prefix migration are amortized O(1).
- Bound range-derived slice/splice capacity hints for hole runs.
scr_arr_new now reserves the live count, so a 2^20+3 element Set
converts into dense storage instead of a sparse tail; the white-box
test_lib check that pinned the old policy now asserts dense storage.
* Share immortal boolean union boxes
Maybe-undefined reads of boolean[] elements (`if (composite[i])` in a
sieve) box the element in a boolean|undefined union and free it at once:
one calloc/free pair per read, about a quarter of numeric-kernels samples
at large scales. Unions are immutable and boolean arms own no payload, so
low tags now return headerless immortal instances, the same convention as
the compiler's static unit-arm constants.
* Record preflight/order baselines for corpus 3138
- Read binary and text files into owned storage across filesystem entry points.
- Extend integer inference through module initialization and filtered processing loops.
- Preserve shared bindings, byte views, and filesystem error behavior.
- Support boolean, bigint, and mixed value keys in native Maps and Sets.
- Reuse key hashes and copy collections directly into compact storage.
- Preserve collection identity, ordering, iteration, and ownership behavior.
* feat(fs): expose Stats disk metadata
- Lower blocks, nlink, and atimeMs through the C and LLVM backends.
- Populate path, promise, file-handle, and dynamic bridge stats across supported platforms.
- Add differential, declaration, and npm bridge coverage.
