//! Flat Combining for Commit Sequencing (D3 — bd-3wop3.3).
//!
//! Replaces per-commit `fetch_add(1)` with batched `fetch_add(N)`, reducing
//! cache-line ping-pong from N round-trips to 1. Under 8-16 thread contention,
//! this converts the commit sequencer from a serialization bottleneck into a
//! scalable operation.
//!
//! ## Design (Hendler et al., SPAA 2010)
//!
//! When many threads want to allocate commit sequences:
//! 1. Each thread publishes its request to a per-thread slot
//! 2. One thread wins the combiner lock and becomes the "combiner"
//! 3. The combiner scans all pending slots, counts N requests
//! 4. Single `fetch_add(N)` to get a range `[base, base+N)`
//! 5. Assigns `base+i` to each pending request
//! 6. Non-combiners spin-wait on their slot (usually <1µs)
//!
//! ## Why This Matters
//!
//! At 8 threads doing 1000 commits/sec each:
//! - Before: 8000 `fetch_add(1)` = 8000 cache-line bounces = ~400µs
//! - After:  ~500 batched `fetch_add(N)` = ~500 cache-line bounces = ~25µs
//!
//! The combiner has all data in L1 cache — sequential execution is faster than
//! parallel contention.
