    // The extra n is the diff_sq temp buffer (2·mid words) that holds the
    // cross term (a_lo − a_hi)² before it is subtracted from the output.
    //
    // Multiplication avoids this temp by accumulating its difference product
    // straight into the output (mul::add_signed_mul_same_len), but squaring
    // cannot do so cheaply. The symmetric basecase (simple::square) adds the
    // off-diagonal products once and finishes with an O(n) in-place doubling,
    // which requires a *zeroed* target. Accumulating into a non-zero output
    // would force a full-schoolbook basecase (~2× the multiply work), which
    // measures ~25% slower across the Toom-3 range where Karatsuba is used
    // recursively. The temp is therefore kept deliberately: it is the price
    // of the efficient symmetric (in-place) squaring basecase.
