    This release is the camera-ready version for SSCAD-WIC: the paper was tightened to the 8-page body limit while answering the reviews, supporting numbers that did not fit were moved into report documentation, and a latexrun hang under TinyTeX was fixed.

    What Changed

    • Camera-ready manuscript (report/main.tex): rewritten abstract, related work (added Dave & Kotak 2024 and Saha 2026; softened the gap claim), methodology, results, and conclusion to address reviews. Corrected analytical model (Amdahl form of Eq. 1 now uses the proper f_{32} = 2f/(1+f); residual for ATAX decomposed into latency rise + sub-linear miss reduction), added predicted-vs-measured line-size column, clarified core-model realism and determinism, made the warm-start explicit (caches are not flushed at ROI entry) and used it to attribute ATAX’s capacity gain to L3 ≥ 32 MiB, replaced the unmeasured “compulsory and capacity misses” claim with the actual L1D miss counts from the associativity sweep, and fixed access-pattern / live-data occupancy descriptions.
    • New report notes (report/README.md): records what the page limit forced us to compress or omit (dropped Table 4, full f_stall sweep, original model error, associativity/capacity per-preset numbers, determinism details, etc.), the corrections to the accepted text (arithmetic fixes, attribution of capacity, warm-start mechanism, residual of Eq. 1, etc.), and deferred reviewer requests.
    • Compact line-size figure: visualize_results.py gains create_cache_line_compact_figure() so L1D miss rate and IPC fit a single short two-panel figure in the report.
    • latexrun freeze under TinyTeX: pin max_print_line=79 in report/.justfile and report/Makefile, and guard the unwrap loop in the vendored latexrun so a non-79 wrap no longer spins forever.
    • Bibliography: added Smith (1987), Hill & Smith (1989), Cantin & Hill (2001), Williams et al. (2009), Hennessy & Patterson (2017), Gholami et al. (2024), Dave & Kotak (2024), Saha (2026); repository citation moved to a footnote and the old repo:2026 entry removed.
    • Tag / clone instructions: default branch tag is now v0.1.2 (README and demo script).

    Setup/Docs Improvements

    • Top-level README points readers at report/README.md for paper-specific constraints, omissions, and how to rebuild only the PDF.
    • Report build docs: one-command zig build report (or just all inside report/) when figures are already present.
