-receivers, priority order, no cancellation pass. Loom theorems re-proved on
-the new word. Notable deviations: `retire_wait` for the no-park exit path
-(plan missed it); the Drop-guard deregistration was superseded by relaxed
-single-receiver asserts; a closed arm is ready *forever* (documented gotcha).

-## v0.9 — Wake-path latency
-
-Goal: attack per-wake latency — the measured ceiling — with the two specified
-mechanisms, each benched against a clean baseline before the next lands.
-Order: RFC 005 first (the slot is measured against the just-benched idle
-policy), then RFC 004 (measured against the slot-accepted baseline), then an
-interaction pass.
-
-Full specs: `rfc_005-wake-slot.md`, `rfc_004-tunable-scheduler-idle-policy.md`
-(artefacts.kalsbeek.dev).
-
-### 1. Wake slot (RFC 005)
-Per-scheduler, thread-local, capacity-one wake cache, checked before the
-shared queue. Runtime-selected via `Config { wake_slot: bool }`, default off
-until accepted (one binary benches both arms).
-- **Push policy:** slot-eligible iff the wake originates from actor context
-  (`current_pid().is_some()`). Scheduler-context wakes (timer/IO drain) and
-  spawns always go shared.
-- **Displacement:** newest wake takes the slot, occupant pushed shared (Go
-  semantics); the branch swap is the fallback if benches look pathological.
-- **Pop order:** slot, then shared. Slot-popped actors inherit the waker's
-  remaining timeslice — a handoff chain is bounded by one slice, so the
-  shared queue is consulted at least once per slice per scheduler (the
-  starvation bound, zero new counters).
-- **Invariant care:** the slot push replaces `run_queue.push` at the tail of
-  the `Parked → Queued` CAS; at-most-once-enqueued holds verbatim (pid in
-  slot ⊕ shared queue). Stall blast radius grows by exactly one actor.
-- Counters: `slot_hits`, `slot_displacements`.
-
-### 2. Slot shootout
-Extend `rq_runtime`/`bench_rq.sh` with the slot on/off dimension (cheap —
-it's a Config knob, not a feature rebuild). Same sweep as the rq shootout.
-- **ping-pong-pairs** — target metric; expect the win, single- and
-  multi-scheduler.
-- **yield-storm** — regression guard; yields never touch the slot, any delta
-  is pop-path overhead.
-- **spawn-storm** — neutrality check; spawns bypass the slot by policy.
-Acceptance flips the default on and re-baselines for RFC 004.
-This is done, see results annotated in RFC005.
