Interactive Checks for Coordination Avoidance
Summary: Introduces Lucy, an interactive procedure for deciding invariant confluence, plus an automatically checkable sufficient condition. Segmented invariant confluence extends coordination avoidance to non-confluent objects, yielding up to 10× linearizable throughput on low-contention workloads.
