//! Stage 5 — `aggregate`.
//!
//! Compares exactly two conditions: collects
//! `pass_rate` (from `grading.json`), `total_tokens`/`duration_ms` (from
//! `timing.json`), and the skill-invocation determination per condition; computes
//! mean/stddev and the `a - b` delta; accumulates validity warnings (mixed timing
//! sources, sub-100% invocation rate, stray-write violations + live-source reads,
//! plugin shadows); and writes `benchmark.json`.
