Description

The visualizer gives blocks different colors based on what type of memory they are (linear or non-linear). We should add the option to give every allocation a different color (hash of chunk_id probably). That will make it easier to spot which blocks are large and which blocks are small.

Research direction

Start by locating the visualizer code and the existing color assignment based on linear versus non-linear memory. Trace how each allocation exposes its chunk_id, then add the requested color-per-allocation option and verify that blocks from different allocations receive distinct colors while the existing behavior remains available.
