    //   Phase 1 — parallel read + encode. Each worker loads a node's
    //     Vec<RawPoint> (38 B/pt), sort-in-place, and produces a Vec<u8>
    //     of encoded bytes (point_record_len B/pt). The RawPoint buffer
    //     is dropped at end of closure. Peak: a few concurrent workers
    //     holding pts + raw_bytes, plus the *entire* rayon result vec
    //     accumulating raw_bytes from every finished node. Steady-state
    //     peak ≈ batch_points × point_record_len (since the RawPoint
    //     buffer's life is bounded by one worker's runtime, not the batch).
    //
    //   Phase 2 — compress. laz's ParLasZipCompressor::compress_chunks
    //     takes the encoded Vec<Vec<u8>>, parallel-compresses each into
    //     a new Vec<u8>, and collects the compressed outputs into a
    //     Vec<(usize, Vec<u8>)> before writing any to the output file
    //     (so chunks stay in input order for the chunk table).
    //     Peak during this call ≈ uncompressed input + compressed output
    //     ≈ batch_points × (point_record_len + ~6 B) ≈ batch_points × 42 B.
    //
    // Instead of trying to cram both phases into one budget sizing, we:
    //   1. Size the outer batch to fit Phase 1's peak (the larger of the two
    //      when everything is batched together). batch_points × point_record_len
    //      with a fragmentation safety factor.
    //   2. During Phase 2, break the encoded Vec into mini-batches of
    //      WRITER_COMPRESS_MINI_BATCH nodes and call compress_chunks on each.
    //      Freeing each mini-batch after compression means Phase 2 peak is
    //      bounded by a small constant, not by batch size.
    //
    // Net effect: wall time is dominated by Phase 1 which runs as big as the
    // budget allows (maximum CPU utilization); Phase 2 memory is capped at a
    // few hundred MB regardless of batch size.
    //
    // Fragmentation safety factor accounts for everything the
    // `batch_points × point_record_len` naive estimate misses: concurrent
    // RawPoint worker buffers held during parallel encoding, the NodeResult
    // tuple overhead in the rayon output Vec, per-node temporal sample Vecs
    // (when the temporal index is enabled), Phase 2 compressor scratch, and
    // allocator retention across many batches. 2× gives genuine headroom
