The latency_harness.py harness spawns the bench binary on a PTY, records monotonic_ns() per stdout line, and reports inter-arrival gap distribution (median / p99 / p99.9 / max). Tail latency is Decision 10's central real-time claim; total wall-time and RSS are the wrong metrics for that question. Paired fixtures: bench_latency_implicit (Boehm-fair, no mode annotations, leaks under --alloc=rc) and bench_latency_explicit (mode-annotated hot path, what RC was built for). Both use a depth-19 balanced tree (~16 MB) as the persistent live working set, plus per-op IntList build+sum churn forcing GC pressure under Boehm.
