Scanner Gate Benchmarks Charter

Mission

• Benchmark VEX gate policy evaluation performance deterministically.

Responsibilities

• Provide reproducible BenchmarkDotNet runs for gate evaluation throughput.
• Keep benchmark inputs deterministic and offline-friendly.

Required Reading

• docs/README.md
• docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md
• docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md
• docs/modules/scanner/architecture.md

Working Agreement

• Use fixed seeds and stable inputs for deterministic benchmarks.
• Avoid network dependencies and nondeterministic clocks.
• Keep benchmark overhead minimal and isolated from core logic.

Testing Strategy

• Benchmarks should be runnable in Release without external services.
