plot_variance_analysis.py
==========================
Regenerates figure/variance_analysis.png: four-panel statistical-moment
analysis of the real Criterion benchmark data (Spawn / Deflect, dtact vs.
Tokio), for the "Statistical Moments and Variance Analysis" section
(\\label{sec:variance_analysis} in main_acmart.tex).

IMPORTANT -- data provenance
-----------------------------
This is NOT a simulation. Every number plotted here is the measured
Criterion output already reported in the paper's Table~\\ref{tab:moments}
("Statistical moments from Criterion benchmark outputs") and
Table~\\ref{tab:gumbel} ("Observed standard deviation vs Gumbel-predicted
algorithmic variance"). Those two tables are themselves extracted from the
Criterion `estimates.json` outputs of the real Rust benchmark run (see
Sources column omitted here since bench artifacts are not part of the
anonymized mirror). This script exists purely to re-render the figure
from those already-published numbers, in case the original plotting
script that produced variance_analysis.png was lost; it should not be
read as a new measurement or a new analysis.

No script previously in script/ produced this figure (verified by
grepping every *.py file in script/ for "variance_analysis" -- no match),
which is why this replacement was written from the paper's own tables
rather than recovered from an original source file.

Panels
------
A  Spawn: coefficient of variation (CV = Std/Mean, %) vs task count M,
   dtact vs Tokio, with the theoretical Gumbel-noise CV curve
   pi/(sqrt(6)*M) (as %) overlaid for scale reference.
B  Deflect: same CV-vs-M comparison (no theory line: the Deflect
   workload's algorithmic variance does not reduce to the single-stage
   Gumbel formula used for Spawn).
C  Spawn: observed standard deviation of C_max vs Gumbel-predicted
   algorithmic standard deviation (dtact only), showing the several-orders-
   of-magnitude gap that indicates CI runner noise dominates.
D  Tail-shape diagnostic: MAD/Std ratio for all nine Spawn/Deflect
   benchmark x implementation combinations, with the Gaussian reference
   value 0.6745 shown as a dashed line.
