// [2] saffah_codex_6s_agg2, https://duck.ac/submission/109412 . Adapted our
// byte-wide temporary bucket-column idea; no source fragment copied.
// Approach:
// Write temporary per-dimension bucket columns as bytes. QCOEF=38 and the
// public n<=300000, k=6 bounds give Q<=209, so every value is unchanged.
// The final point-major bucket and folded-rank record stays the same.
// Purpose:
// Experimental official timing of narrower bucket-column traffic.

// [2] saffah_codex_6s_agg2, https://duck.ac/submission/109429 . Adapted our
// previously tested one-byte fold-group representation; no code copied.
// Approach:
// Store each point's fold dimension in one byte; k=6 keeps its value <6.
// Grouping still uses the identical integer ID and stable counting sort.
// Purpose:
// Experimental official timing of narrower fold-group metadata.

// bucket-grid sweep context was reviewed; this candidate independently
// changes the grid constant to 38. Its source citation is inherited below.
// Approach:
// Set MF_QCOEF to 38, changing the number of prefix arrays and fringe width
// while preserving exact dominance counts and the early no-filter decision.
// Purpose:
// Experimental official timing of QCOEF=38 on 1012a.

// [2] saffah_codex_6s_agg2, https://duck.ac/submission/109459 . Adapted the
// successful early no-filter decision from our 1013a engine; no code fragment
// copied from that submission.
// Approach:
// In both general and specialized six-dimensional solvers, apply the already
// selected MF_NOFILTB=1 before constructing sorted dimension orders. The
// previous code disabled the coarse filter later, after spending time on
// inverse ranks that no subsequent phase read. Answers remain unchanged.
// Purpose:
// Experimental official timing of the early no-filter decision on 1012a.
// References:
// - Duck.ac user saffah_cc_v41_agg1, https://duck.ac/submission/107323: copied its accepted 1012a solver and retained all inherited citations. No separate license notice accompanies it.
// Approach: Raise the bucket coefficient from 35 to 40, shrinking the fringe bands at the cost of a larger prefix-bitset pool. The dominance logic and output remain unchanged.
// Purpose: Experimental official parameter search after a same-input local check found this grid faster, with an identical output hash.

// ======================
// ===== 思路 =====
// 正式提交(非试验)。基底 = [1] #106369(判题机 513.386939 ms);严支可达线 508.220432 ms
// (0.99*T + 1µs,T = #106352 = 513.352962)⇒ 仍需 −5.166461 ms(−1.006%)。
//
// 【唯一改动:把 pass-B 签名扫描的两条累加链折成一条三态链([HIFUSE])】
//   改前(每 32 候选块、每个非折叠维):`lt = AND cmpeq(max_epu8(cv,qsb),qsb)` 与 `eq = OR cmpeq(cv,qsb)`,
//   每维 **6 条**(load + max + cmpeq + and + cmpeq + or)⇒ kk1 = k−1 维 ⇒ 每块 30 条。
//   改后:令 `qsb1_e = sat_sub_epu8(sig(qT_e), 1)`,单字节
//       h_e = subs_epu8(cv_e, qsb1_e) = 0 / 1 / >=2  ⇔  严格小 / 平局 / 严格大 ;  H = OR_e h_e
//     **OR 不会把 0 / 1 / ≥2 互相伪装**(h ≤ 1 者 OR 不出 ≥2)⇒ H 一个值给三态:
//       `H & 0xFE == 0` ⇔ 旧的 `ltm`(全部 ≤);  `H == 1` ⇔ 旧的 `amb`(平局集)
//     ⇒ 每维 **3 条**(load + subs + or)⇒ 每块 15 条,**每块少 15 条向量指令**。
//
//   ★ **为什么改形态([4] 的判题机读数直接促成)**:1015b 上这把刀用的是"把平局掩码读进 `if (ltm)`
//     分支里"(省一条 movemask),那里 survivor 只占 lane 的 **0.31%**(块命中 3.8%)⇒ 分支几乎不跳 ✓;
//     **本题 survivor 占 lane 的 2.40%、块命中 32%**(仪器 `work/k2w_share.py`:lane 669,643,993、
//     surv 16,100,592)⇒ 32% 取中的分支**误预测代价吃掉了省下的指令**([4] 实测 +0.82%)。
//     本发因此回到**与基底相同的 2 条 movemask、无新增分支**的形态,只保留"两条链合一"这一项收益。
//
//   ★ **必须同步的一处偏置**(同一把刀的第二处):签名平面字节改成 `max(sig,1)`
//     (`sig = (row[e]*g_sigmag)>>32 ∈ [0,255]` ⇒ max 后 ∈ [1,255],不溢出且单调不减);
//     查询侧仍 `subs_epu8(sv,1) = max(sig-1,0)`。不偏置时 `sig(qT)=0` 会把 `cv==0` 误判成"严格小"
//     (该缺陷在 1015b 上被 n=8000 的暴力闸门当场抓到 bad=2)。可证偏置下三集与旧式**逐位相同**。
//     面板偏置对**两个** solver(`solve_mf` 与 `count_6d` 用的 `solve_mf_sp<6>`)的 4 处建平面点均已同步。

// ===== 思路 =====
// 【本发唯一增量(相对 #106203 的一个变量):pass B 的阈值向量 `Av[8]` 从"栈数组 + 32 B 向量重载"
//   改为**寄存器内构造**(`_mm256_setr_epi32`,无内存往返)】
//   ○ 旧形态(本基座原样):
//       `u32 Av[STRIDE] __attribute__((aligned(32)));
//        for (int e = 0; e < k; e++) Av[e] = (e == ds) ? 0x7FFFFFFFu : BVAL(e, bd[e]);
//        for (int e = k; e < STRIDE; e++) Av[e] = 0x7FFFFFFFu;
//        ... __m256i Avm = _mm256_or_si256(LDU256(Av), notexlo);`
//   ○ 新形态:8 条 lane 各自算成一个标量常量,再用 `_mm256_setr_epi32` 拼成向量(仍是**同一批
//     `BVAL(e, bd[e])` 查表**、同一组 lane 掩码;`k<=8` 走新路,`k>8` 保留原路)。
// 【机理(这条是我这轮唯一"一阶"的发现)】**x86 的 store-to-load forwarding 要求"load 完全被
//   单个 store 覆盖"**。旧形态用 **8 条 4 字节标量 store** 写 Av,紧跟 **一条 32 字节向量 load**
//   ⇒ 该 load **永远无法转发**,必须等 8 条 store 全部退到 L1 才能读 ⇒ 每执行一次 stall 十几拍。
//   而这条路径在 pass B 的**每个 (查询, 维) 上执行一次 = 1.5e6 次**(300000 查询 × 5 非折半维)。
// 【本地实测(rdtsc 分相位仪器 `work/a12x/ph4_sub.cpp`,**交替 A/B 各 3 轮**,只比同一进程内的
//   相位比 —— 本机负载高,跨进程计时已不可用,但同进程内的相位比值稳定)】
//     `ascr+passA`(不变项,作噪声参照):base 773/817/750 M;新件 775/766/771 M ⇒ 无差异 ✓
//     **`passB 的查询循环`:base 604.8/614.4/595.7 M(均 605)→ 新件 540.0/537.4/530.0 M(均 536)
//       ⇒ −11.4%,三轮方向一致** ✓
// 【正确性(结构性)】新旧两种形态在这一处的**语义完全相同**:同一批 `BVAL(e, bd[e])` 查表、
//   同样的 `e == ds` 与 `e >= k` 掩码(都取 0x7FFFFFFF)、同一个 `Avm = Av | notexlo`。
//   改动只换"怎么把 8 个值凑成一个向量"。
// 【闸门(§2.18.939)】`problems/1012b/work/kd_mk_test.py` + `g++ -O2 -static`:

//   (Q=0 走 auto-Q,B=896)`ck=4075932116497312880` —— 与 `#106203`/`#106123` **逐位相同** ✓
// 【预期(可证伪)】mine 532.037904 → 本地读数折算是 **−3%~−3.7%**(pass B 占 33.4%,其中查询循环
//   减 11.4%)⇒ 若判题机兑现,应落在 ~514-517 ms。判据:< 532.037904 ⇒ 该 hazard 成立;
