perf: merge-write strings + MADV_DONTNEED — planet runs at 500 MiB

String rebuild: merge-write old pool + added strings directly to file
using sorted merge walk. Eliminates the 96 MiB merged vector + sort.

MADV_DONTNEED: release patch mmap pages after each section is processed.
Prevents page cache from accumulating under cgroup memory pressure.

Keep temp decompressed file on disk (don't rm before munmap) so kernel
can re-fault pages from disk instead of keeping them all resident.

Verified with cgroup MemoryMax=500M on planet:
- ALL 14 files MATCH, 7m16s, 214 MiB merge peak, 232 MiB final
- Europe at 300M: needs testing

| Europe | unconstrained | ALL MATCH | 45s | ~260 MiB |

The memory-constrained runs are slower (7m vs 3m on planet) because the kernel evicts and re-faults mmap pages frequently. But they work correctly with very low memory.

**From the original 63 GiB / 20 min to 500 MiB / 7 min — a 129x memory reduction and 2.8x speedup.**


Anything else we could do to optimise this process, either speed or reducing memory usage?


Let me look at the profile breakdown to identify what's left:

**Planet at 500 MiB cgroup (7m16s):**
- Decompress: 0.3s
- Strings: 0.3s
- Merge replays: 48.4s (7 files sequentially)
- Entry pipeline: 337s (5.6 min) — the dominant cost
- Admin: 1.1s
- Total: 7m16s

**Planet unconstrained (3m08s):**
- Merge replays: 32s
- Entry pipeline: 153s
- The 2x slowdown at 500 MiB is from mmap page thrashing during entries

The remaining opportunities:

**Speed:**
1. **Parallelize merge replays** — the 7 files are independent. Running 2-3 in parallel could cut merge time from 32s to ~15s. But increases peak memory (multiple files' mmap pages resident).
2. **Streaming zstd decompression** — currently decompresses the whole patch to a temp file (424 MiB), then mmaps it. Could use zstd streaming API to decompress sections on-the-fly, eliminating the temp file entirely.
3. **The entry pipeline is I/O bound** — 322M cells × 3 hash lookups in correction maps + mmap reads. The hash lookups on correction maps (1.6M entries) could use sorted vectors with binary search to improve cache locality.

**Memory:**
4. **The fixups_sorted vector** for street_ways is 376 MiB (47M × 8 bytes). Since fixups are delta-encoded in the patch, we could decode them lazily during the merge replay using a cursor through the patch data — zero allocation, just read from the mmap'd patch as we go.
5. **Streaming zstd would eliminate the 424 MiB temp file** entirely.

The biggest wins would be #4 (eliminate 376 MiB fixup vector) and #5 (eliminate temp file). Together they'd drop the memory floor to under 200 MiB for planet.

For speed, #1 (parallel merges) and optimizing the entry pipeline's I/O pattern would help most. The entry pipeline at 5.6 min under 500 MiB is slow because the mmap'd old entry files cause random page faults. Using `madvise(MADV_SEQUENTIAL)` and larger fwrite buffers could help.

Want me to implement any of these, or is the current state (500 MiB, 7 min planet) good enough to move on?


Streaming zstd sounds good if possible, option 3 also sounds good if it won't increase memory usage. For memory, Option 4 also sounds good


Let me implement all three. Starting with the biggest memory win (#4 lazy fixups), then #3 (sorted corrections), then streaming zstd.
