🟡 Nit: Copy-paste from the string tree — "this text" should be "these tokens" (or "the node") in the token tree context. Same issue at line 515 ("never a truncated text").

Solid concurrency fix. The two races (replay over-count and depth-shifted walks on self-similar content) are well-analyzed in the description, and the fix is applied consistently across both string_tree and token_tree.
Key observations:
- The
text/tokenswrite section now correctly brackets the truncate + tenant-map clone + re-parent triple, so walkers under the read guard always see a consistent snapshot. - Atomic first-attach (
attach_tenant_if_absent/touch_tenantreturn value) eliminates thecontains_key→ credit →insertTOCTOU. - Replay loops credit the live char/token count under the read guard rather than the stale match-time count, correctly handling nodes truncated between match and replay.
- Spin-loop retries on stale parent pointers are bounded by the narrow window between text-lock drop and edge publication.
- The new string-tree concurrency test with nested self-similar heads directly targets the second race.
One minor terminology nit posted inline (0 🔴, 1 🟡, 0 🟣).

698-713: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value🟡 Nit: Add backoff to the stale-edge retry loops in both trees. Each retry path drops the read guard, calls
std::hint::spin_loop(), and re-probes immediately. Progress is guaranteed, because the splitter publishes the new parent through the samechildrenshard the re-probe must lock. If the splitting thread is preempted inside its write section, request threads still spin on CPU. The shared root cause is the missing yield after a bounded spin count.

the documented split/replay interleaving and do not require each tenant’s count

A node split truncates the child, clones its tenant map, republishes the edge, and re-parents the child as separate steps. Two match-path races follow: 1. match_and_insert_with's replay credited the tenant with the node span recorded during the match descent. A split truncating the node between the phases leaves the tenant owning only the suffix while credited the full span, and the later attach to the new prefix node counts the shared pages twice (flaky exact-count concurrency test). 2. A walker probing the old edge but reading the already-truncated text full-matches suffix content as if it began at the edge's depth; on self-similar content the walk silently shifts deeper by the prefix length, splicing phantom duplicate branches and corrupting matches and counts. The string tree published the prefix before truncating the child, the same hazard through the new edge. Splits now truncate, clone the tenant map, and re-parent inside one tokens/text write section, and attach the splitting tenant to the prefix node before publication, deriving its credit from the atomic attach result. Replay loops credit the live node length under the tokens/text read guard with atomic first-attach; the string tree gains attach_tenant_if_absent, closing the check-then-insert replay TOCTOU the token tree fixed earlier. Lock-free walkers validate under the same guard that the child's parent still designates the probed edge and re-probe while a split is mid-flight. New string-tree concurrency test mirrors the token one with self-similar heads that force splits under traffic.

Motivation
The
unit-testslane flakes ontoken_tree::tests::test_concurrent_match_and_insert_count_and_route_integrity(tenant t6 token count diverged under concurrency: expected 128, got 144) — reproducible locally in a handful of runs. Root-causing it surfaced a second, worse race in the same split machinery.A node split performs truncate-child / clone-tenant-map / republish-edge / re-parent as separate steps. Concurrent lock-free readers can interleave between them:
match_and_insert_withrecords the matched span per node during the match descent, then credits the selected tenant during the insert replay. A split that truncates a path node between the two phases leaves the tenant attached only to the suffix while credited for the full pre-split span; when the tenant later attaches to the new prefix node, the shared pages are counted twice — exactly onePAGE_SIZEper event (128 → 144). Tenant budgets drift upward permanently, so eviction fires early for hot tenants.children.get()-based match paths are not.The string tree's replay loop also still had the non-atomic
contains_key→ credit →insertsequence, so two concurrent replays for the same tenant could both credit a node (the token tree got atomic first-attach in #2126).Modifications

The string split now truncates before publishing, matching the token tree's order.tokens/textread guard — ordered against the split's write section, the clone inherits exactly the tenants credited for the pre-split span.
