Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 9, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Fluxsort is a stable, adaptive, branchless quicksort/mergesort hybrid that outperforms standard sorting algorithms like std::sort and pdqsort. It combines cubic root median selection, branchless partitioning, and hybrid fallback to quadsort for robustness, making it interesting for performance-critical sorting tasks.
