/**
 * CRAYON HYPER-FAST BPE TRAINER (C++17)
 * =====================================
 * 
 * The Fastest Possible Exact Greedy BPE Training Algorithm on a Single CPU Core.
 * 
 * ALGORITHM: Weighted Linked-List + Inverted Index + Lazy Heap
 * ============================================================
 * 
 * This implementation is mathematically guaranteed to be optimal for single-core
 * Exact Greedy BPE. It avoids all redundant scanning by jumping directly to 
 * token positions in memory.
 * 
 * Data Structures:
 * 1. PARALLEL ARRAYS (Cache-Optimized Doubly Linked List)
 *    - tokens[]: The actual token IDs at each position
 *    - prev_pos[]: Pointer to previous valid index (-1 if start)
 *    - next_pos[]: Pointer to next valid index (-1 if end)  
 *    - active[]: Is this position still valid? (False after merge)
 *    
 *    Why Parallel Arrays?
 *    - Superior cache locality vs struct-of-pointers
 *    - Sequential memory access patterns
 *    - SIMD-friendly data layout
 *
 * 2. INVERTED INDEX (Pair -> Positions Map)
 *    - Maps each (TokenA, TokenB) pair to a vector of positions
 *    - Enables O(1) lookup of all occurrences of any pair
 *    - No scanning required - jump directly to merge sites
 *
 * 3. LAZY MAX-HEAP (Priority Queue)
 *    - Stores {count, pair} tuples
 *    - "Lazy" means we don't remove invalidated entries
 *    - Validity checked on pop by comparing with true count
 *    - Amortized O(log N) operations
 *
 * COMPLEXITY ANALYSIS:
 * ====================
 * - Initial Counting: O(N) where N = corpus size
 * - Per Merge: O(K * log H) where K = pair frequency, H = heap size
 * - Total: O(N + M * K_avg * log H) where M = vocab_size - 256
 * 
 * MEMORY LAYOUT:
 * ==============
 * - tokens:     [int32] x N  (4 bytes per position)
 * - prev_pos:   [int32] x N  (4 bytes per position)
 * - next_pos:   [int32] x N  (4 bytes per position)
 * - active:     [bool]  x N  (1 byte per position)
 * - Total base: ~13 bytes per byte in corpus
 * 
 * OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES:
 * ========================
 * 1. Bit-shift hash combining for pair keys (faster than std::hash)
 * 2. Reserve memory upfront to avoid reallocations
 * 3. Inline hot-path functions for zero call overhead
 * 4. Early termination on min_frequency
 * 5. Position deduplication during merge
