name: Perf (nightly)

# The performance scorecard (#221): `cargo xtask perf` on a fixed macOS runner (Apple silicon,
# Metal), every night and on demand. It never runs on pull requests, so it can't block one.
# It fails when an enforced budget in perf/budgets.toml breaks or a scenario's p50 regresses
# more than 15 % against perf/baseline.json from the same machine class (other classes are
# never compared). The table goes to the job summary; results.json is uploaded as an artifact.
#
# To give this runner class its own baseline: run it by hand with "update_baseline", download
# the `perf-baseline` artifact and commit it as perf/baseline.json in a PR.
