restore tier-0-only get() as clean base for insert-side experiments

paper-faithful get(): noinline cold-hinted getOtherTiers for tier 1+
joshuaisaact

use opaque function pointer for tier 1+ overflow (prevent LLVM codegen cascade)
joshuaisaact

limit overflow to tier 1 only (tiers 2+ empty at 99% load)
joshuaisaact
committed
log v3 experiments
joshuaisaact
committed
early termination in overflow function (safe with 100% find rate)
joshuaisaact
committed
early termination in tier-0 loop (jump to overflow on empty slot)

v3 insights: elastic hash 40-65% faster than abseil at normal loads
joshuaisaact
committed
add verification program: are these results real?
joshuaisaact
committed
verification checks 1-3: capacity, shuffled access, size independence
joshuaisaact
committed
complete verification: realistic workloads, hash cost, shuffled access
joshuaisaact
committed
update README and PR with verified benchmark results
joshuaisaact

verify: gcc vs clang abseil - no unfair compiler advantage
joshuaisaact
committed
string-key elastic hash: implementation, benchmarks, runner
joshuaisaact
committed
string key verification: 36-97% faster than abseil even with shuffled access
joshuaisaact
committed
comprehensive string key verification: advantage holds across lengths, sizes, despite slower hash
joshuaisaact
committed
cross-language benchmark: elastic hash vs abseil, Rust hashbrown, Go swiss.Map
joshuaisaact
committed
fair cross-language benchmark: ahash for Rust, pre-allocated strings for Go
joshuaisaact

M4 benchmark: advantage grows to 2.59x (up from 1.74x on x86)
joshuaisaact
committed
M4 cross-language size sweep: elastic hash wins 16K-4M against all competitors
joshuaisaact
committed
add miss optimization research program
joshuaisaact

final M4 results: elastic hash fastest on all operations at 50% load
joshuaisaact

mixed workload benchmark: 2x faster than abseil under realistic churn
