Punch list §25 item 3.5 complete.
stadium_admit(candidate) places into an unused cell if one exists (no
comparison needed), otherwise finds the least-dense resident -- skipping
pinned and contains-gated patrons, which are never eviction candidates
-- and evicts it only if the candidate is strictly denser, per §19.3.
stadium_evict(cell_index) dispatches the departing patron's behaviour
before clearing its slot, per §17.2.
Caught a real bug before it ran: the first draft used contains == 0 to
mean "holds nothing," but cell index 0 is a valid index (Hera, item
3.6). Fixed with a proper sentinel, STADIUM_CONTAINS_NONE (UINT32_MAX).
A second-pass review found mass was not accounted for: both functions
handled exactly one cell regardless of the candidate's stated mass,
which leaks cells on eviction of any mass > 1 patron and breaks
capacity conservation. Fixed by refusing any candidate with mass != 1
-- multi-cell patrons need the per-VM free lists item 3.2 already
deferred (§22.3), not built here.
Documented, not fixed: the discriminator bitmap can't distinguish free
from continuation cells, so the free-cell scan reads continuation-cell
payload bytes under the header layout -- latent since nothing creates
continuation cells yet, and the mass != 1 refusal keeps it provably
latent. Superseded by the free list when it exists.
Unexercised at runtime: nothing calls either function yet (no real
patron kind is wired to the Stadium). No self-test added -- filling
~74,000+ cells to reach the eviction-on-full branch was judged
impractical, following item 2.2's own precedent for its unexercised
fleet-full path.
Verified: three-architecture boot (amd64, aarch64, riscv64), all
reaching ok> with identical dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f matching the
item-3.4 baseline.
