ZIP export timing on shared ubuntu-latest runners swings with page-cache and first-write effects (e.g. composers-10 ~4x between runs; composers-50 exceeded 1.2x vs a Jul-15 baseline at 0.045s vs 0.028s). That is environmental variance, not an application slowdown. Baseline entries in `baselines.json` are kept for observation only; parse, search, and fingerprint benches remain gated. ### Out-of-scope CI fixes in feature PRs -Sometimes a feature PR fails **Performance benchmarks (gated)** even though the PR does not touch export, parse, or search hot paths. When the failure is pre-existing runner variance (as with `composers-10` above), the correct fix is a targeted `EXCLUDED_FROM_GATE` entry — **not** a `baselines.json` refresh bundled into the feature PR. +Sometimes **Performance benchmarks (gated)** fails on `master` even though the change does not touch export, parse, or search hot paths.
