Compact O-Complete Trees

Summary: Introduces compact O-complete trees, a key-type/length-independent B-tree variant encoding index keys with log₂M-bit surrogates to maximize fanout and reduce index space. Derives it from binary tries and supplies a simple search algorithm plus a secondary-index access scheme. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
