//! The measurement harness behind every number in `.nornir/ldeflate-design.md`.
//!
//! Run it directly for the tuning loop; the publishable rows are re-run from the
//! repo-root `examples/nornir-bench.rs` (nornir bencher, not criterion — see
//! `znippy/.nornir/benching.md`).
//!
//! ```sh
//! CARGO_TARGET_DIR=~/scratch/cargo/zoomies-deflate \
//!   cargo run --offline --release -p ldeflate --example measure -- all
//! ```
//!
//! Arms: `corpus` · `dispatch` · `window` · `threshold` · `scaling` ·
//! `sustained` · `uniform` · `large` · `precompressed` · `all`.
//!
//! ## Which workload each arm models — read this before quoting a number
//!
//! Every arm here models a **BATCH write**: `repack()`, a loose-object write
//! burst, a client-side pack write, or a cold-tier re-compress. `P-004` rejects
//! per-*request* fan-out on a loaded serving tier (1000 concurrent clones ×
//! 32 workers = 32000 threads); it does not reject fan-out inside a batch
//! operation, which is what all of this is.
//!
//! No arm here models **serving a clone**. On a clone the right answer is
//! pack-copy (`P-001`): the bytes are already deflated in the pack the client
//! pushed, and shipping them is a `memcpy` — measured 25.30 ms against 28609 ms
//! for per-object zlib over 74523 objects. No compressor beats not compressing.
