//! Scenario runners — compile entry once per target, run N+warmup
//! iterations timing each. Three targets:
//!
//! - `vm` — in-process `vm::compile_program_with_modules` + `VM::run`.
//! - `wasm-local` — `aver compile --target wasm` produces a wasi-bundled
//!   `.wasm`; wasmtime Engine + Module are built once, each iteration
//!   creates a fresh Store + Instance and invokes `_start`. Mirrors
//!   the `cargo bench` shape so VM/WASM numbers are directly comparable.
//! - `rust` — `aver compile --target rust` + `cargo build --release`
//!   produces a native binary; each iteration spawns it once. Includes
//!   process spawn overhead (~1-2 ms on macOS) — for programs that
//!   take <1 ms in pure compute the spawn dominates, just like in
//!   the cargo bench measurements.
