flan_dev_reg_dead was reaching for the containment scan, and it is on the free path: a dev build would have paid a 4096-entry sweep per free. A free hands back the base address the allocator gave out, which is what the slot is keyed on, so the question there is equality and never containment. Only free-all needs the scan, and that runs once a frame. The table is allocated when it is armed, not declared. A fixed array was a quarter of a megabyte of BSS in a shipped game for a table that build never writes; now a release build carries a null pointer and the not-taken branch. The pointer arm binds its subject to a slot before naming it three times — the slice arm's rule, and its reason: an inspect with a path reaches a leaf through a bounds check, and three of those to render one pointer is the walk paying for its own shape. dev-ptr.flan shows both halves on a stopped stack. It was read by hand; the test_dev.ml case that would drive it is another lane's file, and NEXT.md says so.
