 ### Memory Architecture
 
-Pre-allocated pools eliminate allocation latency spikes. Configurable book depth limiting prevents memory bloat. Hot data structures group frequently-accessed fields for cache line efficiency.
+Configurable book depth limiting prevents memory bloat. Hot data structures group frequently-accessed fields for cache line efficiency. Allocation-sensitive hot paths are covered by targeted no-allocation tests where the implementation is currently allocation-free.
