C.Gate Supplementary: GIL Release Validation

Validates that GIL is being released during the parsing phase (py.detach()).
This is a diagnostic test to confirm the implementation is correct, even though
the overall speedup is limited by Python file I/O requiring the GIL.

**Key insight:** Phase C batching correctly releases GIL during parsing,
reducing acquire/release frequency 100x. However, the .read() call on Python
file objects requires the GIL, preventing parallelism. This is an architectural
constraint, not a bug in our implementation.

**What this test validates:**
1. GIL IS released during parsing (via py.detach())
2. Multiple threads CAN execute during parsing (when GIL-free)
3. Python file I/O is the bottleneck, not our code
