+"""Regression test for hash_search() collision-flood bounds and skip boundaries.
+
+Verifies that when rolling across unmatched constant-checksum collision runs:
+1. CPU work (hash_hits and false_alarms) is strictly bounded at O(N / blength)
+   rather than computing a strong checksum on every byte O(N).
+2. Bandwidth (Literal data vs Matched data) is exact: valid basis blocks placed
+   immediately after colliding runs at every critical skip boundary are 100%
+   matched without skipping a single valid block:
+   - Sub-threshold collision run (3 bytes < 4-offset threshold)
+   - Exact 1-block boundary (BLOCK bytes)
+   - Exact 1st-skip landing boundary (BLOCK + 3 bytes)
+   - 1-byte past 1st-skip landing boundary (BLOCK + 4 bytes)
+   - Exact 2nd-skip landing boundary (2 * BLOCK + 3 bytes)
+   - Multi-skip + sub-threshold roll (2 * BLOCK + 6 bytes)
+   - Long multi-block flood + arbitrary unaligned offset (10 * BLOCK + 137 bytes)
+3. `--inplace` mode preserves exact boundary matches across collision skips.
+4. Crafted weak-checksum collisions with bunched perturbations (e.g., (+1, -2, +1)
+   at bytes 0..2) trigger premature boundary skips due to partial window overlap,
+   resulting in *increased literal data* (safely falling back to literal transmission
+   rather than corrupting the file or hanging the CPU).
