//! Persistent worker pool for row-parallel matvecs.
//!
//! Threads are spawned once and spin-then-park between calls — vmfcore
//! measured spawn-per-matvec at ~+27% decode cost versus a persistent
//! pool. Parallelism is by disjoint row ranges, so results are
//! bit-identical to the serial path (each row's dot product is computed
//! the same way).
//!
//! Dispatch is one shared job descriptor + a per-worker ticket (roadmap
//! §3 P0): the caller writes the descriptor, hands a ticket to each
//! worker it invites and JOINS THE WORK as the extra worker instead of
//! blocking on a latch. The previous design allocated an `Arc<Latch>`
//! and pushed a message into every worker's mpsc channel for every
//! matvec (~200 dispatches/token) — with decode-grade matvecs that
//! synchronization was its own budget. Workers spin for
//! `CMF_POOL_SPIN` iterations before parking.
//! Default 4000: at ~39 dispatches/token, park-immediately pays the
//! unpark syscall on every worker for every dispatch — measured on an
//! M4 (interleaved A/B, current epoch dispatch + parked-flag design):
//! Qwen-0.5B q8 decode 101→115 tok/s, q4t 117→149, the 50M bench model
//! 549→954 at spin=4000 vs spin=0. An early measurement that showed
//! spinning LOSING (−25% on q8) predates the parked-flag skip and the
//! multi-matrix dispatch cuts; it no longer reproduces. Over-spinning
//! still hurts (200k: −15% vs 4k — spinners steal the caller's serial
//! cycles), so the budget stays bounded. `CMF_POOL_SPIN=0` restores
//! park-immediately for share-the-box serving.
//!
//! `CMF_THREADS` env: 0/1 = serial, N = worker count
//! (default: available_parallelism − 1, capped at 8).
