> Currently, the bounded branch of `getSortedIterator()` did roughly:
> {code:java}
> boundedMerger = new UnsafeSorterBoundedSpillMerger(...); // step 1
> readingIterator = new SpillableIterator(...); // step 2 –
> volatile publish
> return boundedMerger.merge(spillWriters, readingIterator); // step 3 –
> snapshot taken INSIDE merge() {code}
> `UnsafeSorterBoundedSpillMerger.merge()` snapshots its inputs via `new
> ArrayList<>(spillWriters)` at the top — so the snapshot is taken in step 3,
> {*}{{*}}after{{*}}{*} `readingIterator` is published in step 2.
> Once `readingIterator` is non-null, a sibling consumer's
> `acquireExecutionMemory()` that picks this sorter as the spill victim is
> routed to `readingIterator.spill()`, which (a) appends a new writer to the
> live `spillWriters` list, and (b) rebinds `readingIterator.upstream` to read
> that same new file. If this happens between step 2 and step 3, the snapshot
> taken inside `merge()` includes the new writer, {*}{{*}}and{{*}}{*} the final
> merge round also pulls from `readingIterator` (whose upstream now points at
> the new writer). The bounded merger reads the new spill file twice — silent
> duplicate records in the sorted output.
