//! The Chapter 10 performance-budget gate (Phase 2 worklist F1).
//!
//! The benches in `benches/` (home per `DECISIONS.md` F0) *measure* with
//! criterion; criterion never *asserts*, so each bench binary's `main()` ends
//! by running these gates: a calibrated timing check per budget row, with the
//! numeric threshold written at the call site in the bench source. Every row
//! carries an [`Expectation`]:
//!
//! * [`Expectation::Pass`] — the budget must hold **today**; a miss fails the
//! bench run with a nonzero exit (the CI tripwire).
//! * [`Expectation::Xfail`] — a documented, known-pending miss whose reason
//! names the defect and its owner. A miss prints an expected-failure line
//! and does **not** fail the run; a *pass* prints a promotion notice,
//! because the marking is then stale and must be flipped to `Pass`.
//!
//! This is the "F surfaces, K fixes" handshake (`spec/PHASE2_F_WEEK0_WORKLIST.md`
//! F1): a known-pending scale point stays `Xfail` — budget written in the
//! bench — until the named defect is fixed, at which point the gate itself
//! reports that the row should be promoted. The inaugural round completed: the
//! reducer's `O(n²)` `canonical_reduction_order` sank `reduction/50000` until
//! Agent K's subquadratic rewrite, whose XPASS notice promoted the row.
//!
//! ## Methodology note (a deliberate deviation from Chapter 10)
//!
//! Chapter 10's conformance methodology is **p99 over ≥ 1000 iterations per
//! scenario** on the reference hardware profile. That is the reference suite's
//! job, not this gate's: 1000 iterations of a minute-long 50K-envelope cold
//! reduction would be unusable in CI. The gate instead takes the **median of a
//! small, per-row calibrated iteration count** in a release build — enough to
//! reject flukes while keeping `cargo bench` wall-clock sane. Runs are cold
//! (no in-gate warm-up): the marquee budget is an explicitly *cold* reduction
//! rate, and the criterion measurements that precede the gate have already
//! warmed the allocator and caches for the warm-appropriate rows. Conformance
//! *claims* still require the full Chapter 10 methodology.
