From 4791114406f897fb3c335e476dbbcce8b3d2d39f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jack Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 21:45:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Recalibrate perf floors to slowest-observed-CI basis The gate tripped on a uniformly slow runner: every benchmark ran at ~2/3 of the previous CI run and nostrInbound.duplicate fell to 87% of its floor. Root cause: floors were derived from local numbers, but CI slowdown is benchmark-dependent - sub-millisecond passes amplify runner overhead (the duplicate path runs at ~20% of local speed on CI while most benchmarks run at 40-60%). Floors are now ~50% of the slowest observed CI run, recorded alongside the local references. Every floor remains 10-200x above known regression values (the pre-optimization duplicate path measured 2.2k/sec against the 250k floor), so order-of- magnitude regressions still fail loudly. Verified against the slow run's numbers: all 11 pass.
