perf: Phase 6 — substrate perf-regression alarm (perf-smoke)
Replaces the watchdog-bump approach with an automated check. The next 5× (or
worse) substrate regression will trip the alarm at build time instead of
hiding behind a deadline bump and only being noticed weeks later.
Components:
* lib/perf-smoke.sx — four micro-benchmarks chosen for distinct substrate
failure modes: function-call dispatch (fib), env construction (let-chain),
HO-form dispatch + lambda creation (map-sq), TCO + primitive dispatch
(tail-loop). Warm-up pass populates JIT cache before the timed pass so we
measure the steady state.
* scripts/perf-smoke.sh — pipes lib/perf-smoke.sx to sx_server.exe, parses
per-bench wall-time, asserts each is within FACTOR× of the recorded
reference (default 5×). `--update` rewrites the reference in-place.
* scripts/sx-build-all.sh — perf-smoke wired in as a post-step after JS
tests. Hard fail if any benchmark regressed beyond budget.
Reference numbers: minimum across 6 back-to-back runs on this dev machine
under typical concurrent-loop contention (load ~9, 2 vCPU, 7.6 GiB RAM,
OCaml 5.2.0, architecture @ 92f6f187). Documented in
plans/jit-perf-regression.md including how to update them.
The 5× factor is chosen so contention noise (~1–2× variance) doesn't trigger
false alarms but a real ≥5× substrate regression — the kind that motivated
this whole investigation — fails the build immediately.
