//! VP9 encoder quality harness — the **external-style RD oracle** (Floor 5).
//!
//! The lesson from the R5 deadzone: the encoder's own `J = SSE + λ·bits` is a
//! *biased* self-metric (guessed λ → gameable). This harness measures the two
//! quantities that can't be gamed — **actual PSNR** (vs the source) at **actual
//! bitrate** (coded bytes) — sweeps them into an RD curve, and reduces a knob's
//! effect to a single honest number: **BD-rate** (Bjøntegaard delta-rate), the
//! average % bitrate change at *equal quality*. Negative ⇒ fewer bits for the same
//! PSNR ⇒ a real win; ~0 ⇒ just sliding along the same curve (no win); positive ⇒
//! worse. This is what a quality knob must clear before it ships default-on.
//!
//! It runs entirely in-process (our reconstruction *is* the decoded output,
//! bit-exact), so no external decoder is needed for our own RD curve; a sibling
//! `#[ignore]` test pits us against ffmpeg's `libvpx-vp9` for the gold standard.
