From 50fe257fafacda237939f59e654477d0e31115f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Palmer Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 01:34:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat: add stress tests and fix critical bugs - Fix u16 overflow in PageHeader.num_pages (now u32 for >256MB allocations) - Add missing posix_memalign export (was causing heap corruption) - Add stress test suite: tail latency, massive allocations, corruption - Add comprehensive GitHub Actions workflows with benchmark summaries -
