; Latency-distribution bench fixture — Implicit-mode variant.
;
; Companion to bench_latency_explicit. Together they test the
; hypothesis "RC under explicit-mode has p99 per-operation latency
; within a small constant factor of the median, even under
; continuous alloc pressure with a large persistent live working
; set; RC under implicit-mode is the control arm — it LEAKS
; because Implicit params are not dec'd, so its p99 is
; alloc-pressure-bounded but the live set grows monotonically".
;
; Implicit-mode variant: no `(borrow T)`, `(own T)`, `(reuse-as)`,
; `(drop-iterative)` annotations. This is the control arm — the
; way you'd write the program without thinking about modes. Under
; `--alloc=rc` this variant LEAKS (Implicit params are not dec'd);
; the bench harness runs it as a control to measure the
; alloc-only-no-free latency floor against the RC-fair explicit
; arm.
;
; Workload:
;   - Live cache: balanced binary tree of depth 19 (524_287 nodes,
;     ~16 MB). Stays referenced through the entire bench loop.
;   - Per-op work: build a 500-cell IntList of 0..499, sum it
;     (sum = 124750), print one stdout marker line every PRINT_K
;     ops. Total churn: 20000 * 500 cells = 10M cell-allocs ≈
;     240 MB ≫ live-set; in the implicit-mode arm the live set
;     grows monotonically (no free), so the working set tracks
;     total allocation.
;   - Total ops: 20_000. Print every PRINT_K=20 ops → 1000 timing
;     samples + 1 final summary line.
;
; What the harness sees:
;   - One "READY" line at startup once the tree is built.
;   - 1000 lines, each containing the per-chunk sum (always 124750)
;     so output stays validatable. The harness ignores values and
;     records only inter-arrival times.
;   - One final "DONE" line.
;
; The harness times each line's arrival via clock_gettime on its
; end of a PTY-controlled stdout (PTY forces line-buffering through
; libc's printf), then computes median / p99 / p99.9 / max of the
; gaps.
;
; Why a print-driven gap measurement: AILang has no high-resolution
; clock extern. Adding one would mean a codegen change (a new `do
; bench/clock` op routed into the codegen seam), which is
; implementer territory, not bencher territory. Stdout-gap timing
; has a noise floor of ~10-50 µs (printf + pipe roundtrip) which is
; well below the millisecond-scale STW pauses the hypothesis
; predicts; if the hypothesis is right, the signal swamps the
; noise. If the data shows a tighter distribution than that noise
; floor, we'll have to escalate to in-process clocks; otherwise the
; bench is sufficient.
