18//! Tournament Tree (Loser Tree) for K-Way Merge
19//!
20//! ## Algorithm
21//!
22//! A loser tree is a complete binary tree where each internal node stores
23//! the "loser" (larger element) of a comparison, and the winner advances
24//! to the parent. The overall winner is stored at the root (index 0).
25//!
26//! ## Complexity Analysis
27//!
28//! - **Initialization**: O(K) where K = number of sources
29//! - **Pop (get minimum)**: O(log K) - only need to replay the path
30//! - **Total merge**: O(N log K) for N total elements
31//!
32//! ## Performance Benefits
33//!
34//! For K sorted runs with N total elements:
35//! - Binary heap merge: O(N log K) with higher constants
36//! - Loser tree: O(N log K) with ~50% fewer comparisons
37//!
38//! The loser tree has cache-friendly access patterns since the replay path
39//! is the same for consecutive elements from the same source.
40//!
