25		/*
26		Thread pool implementation using a shared work queue.
27
28		Work items are continuations linked via their intrusive next pointer,
29		stored in a single queue protected by a mutex. No per-post heap
30		allocation: the continuation is owned by the caller and linked
31		directly. Worker threads wait on a condition_variable until work
32		is available or stop is requested.
33
34		Threads are started lazily on first post(), under mutex_, to avoid
35		spawning threads for pools that are constructed but never used. A
36		stopped pool starts none. Each thread is named
37		with a configurable prefix plus index for debugger visibility.
38
39		Work tracking: on_work_started/on_work_finished maintain the atomic
40		outstanding_work_ counter. on_work_started is lock-free, and so is
41		on_work_finished while the count stays above one. The release that
42		may take it to zero is made under mutex_, so join() can't see zero,
43		return and let the pool be destroyed while that call still uses it.
44		join() blocks until this counter reaches zero, then signals workers
45		to stop and joins threads.
46
47		Two shutdown paths:
48		- join(): waits for outstanding work to drain, then stops workers.
49		- stop(): immediately signals workers to exit; queued work stays queued.
50		- Destructor: stop() then join(), then queued work is abandoned.
