1//! Resident Set Size (RSS) sampling for memory diagnostics.
2//!
3//! Used by the allocator benchmark (`vtcode bench-allocator`) to measure whether
4//! the global allocator returns memory to the OS after bursty/sparse workloads.
5//! Unlike `performance_profiler::get_memory_usage_mb` (Linux `/proc` only, fake
6//! fallback on macOS), this returns a real value on every supported platform.
