I'll implement the complete single-header mimalloc in C++20. This is a substantial piece of code (~2000 lines) that implements all the core features we designed.

/**
* @file mallocator.hpp
* @brief Single-header C++20 implementation of mimalloc
*
* A production-ready memory allocator featuring:
* - Extreme free list sharding (3 lists per 64KiB page)
* - Temporal cadence for predictable maintenance
* - Lock-free fast path (~10 instructions)
* - Security features (guard pages, encoded freelists, randomization)
* - Zero dependencies (no malloc/free/new/delete internally)
*
* @version 1.0.0
