/* Runtime performance A/B harness for compiled programs.
*
* Builds every workload in benchmarks/runtime/workloads.json with one or two
* scriptc checkouts, verifies each executable against Node byte-for-byte
* (stdout, stderr, exit status), then times interleaved launches and reports
* per-workload medians with bootstrap confidence intervals for the
* candidate/baseline ratio. Executables that diverge from Node are never
* timed. A per-host advisory lock serializes measurements so concurrent
* agents on one machine do not disturb each other's numbers. */

Each checkout must have a built CLI (packages/cli/dist/bootstrap.js) and native
artifacts for this host. Without --baseline, reports absolute times only. Node is
timed in the same interleaved loop as the reference to beat (--no-node skips it).
--layouts=N (macOS/Linux) links every executable N times, shifting the program
object by 0, 16, 32, ... bytes of padding, and spreads the timed runs evenly over
those layouts, so verdicts cover code-placement luck instead of one placement.
Use it for small codegen changes (e.g. --layouts=4 --runs=16).
Workload names are listed in benchmarks/runtime/workloads.json; for example
--workloads=cli-config,http-api runs only the startup and server workloads.
--baseline-optimization/--candidate-optimization pick each contender's
--optimization posture (default release). The same checkout may be both
contenders, e.g. --baseline=. --candidate-optimization=speed compares speed with
release. cold_build_ms records each contender's first, uncached build.`);
