//! Flat Combining for sequential batching under contention (§14.2).
//!
//! When many threads contend on a shared data structure, each thread publishes
//! its request to a per-thread slot and one thread becomes the *combiner*.
//! The combiner collects all pending requests, processes them as a single
//! batch holding one lock, then publishes the results.  This reduces
//! cache-line bouncing from N lock acquisitions to 1.
//!
//! ## Protocol
//!
//! 1. Thread publishes `(op, argument)` to its slot (atomic store).
//! 2. Thread tries to acquire the combiner lock (`try_lock`).
//!    - **Won**: scan all slots, collect pending ops, execute batch, store
//!      results, release lock.
//!    - **Lost**: spin-wait until its own slot shows a result.
//! 3. Thread reads its result from the slot.
//!
//! ## Slot Layout
//!
//! Each slot is a pair of `AtomicU64`:
//!   - `state`: EMPTY (0) | REQUEST (op‖arg packed) | RESULT (high-bit set)
//!   - `payload`: argument or result value.
//!
//! ## Safety
//!
//! No `UnsafeCell` or `unsafe` blocks — all state uses `AtomicU64`.
//!
//! ## Tracing & Metrics
//!
//! - **Target**: `fsqlite.flat_combine`
//!   - `DEBUG`: batch execution with `batch_size`, `combiner_thread`
//!   - `INFO`: periodic contention stats
//! - **Metrics**:
//!   - `fsqlite_flat_combining_batches_total`
//!   - `fsqlite_flat_combining_ops_total`
//!   - `fsqlite_flat_combining_batch_size_sum` (for avg = sum / batches)
//!   - `fsqlite_flat_combining_batch_size_max`
//!   - `fsqlite_flat_combining_wait_ns_total`
//!   - `fsqlite_flat_combining_wait_ns_max`
