Simulation benchmark ledger

This directory stores reviewed benchmark snapshots. Each snapshot must name the workload, seed, Godot version, hardware context, sample count, simulated tick count, and important exclusions so later comparisons remain honest.

Run the current scaling harness from the project root with Godot 4.7:

/Applications/Godot.app/Contents/MacOS/Godot \
  --headless --path "$PWD" \
  --script res://tools/benchmark_simulation_scaling.gd

The default report is written under user://. Pass -- --host-label="<hardware>" --output=res://docs/benchmarks/<name>.json only when intentionally capturing a reviewed project baseline.

Reviewed captures:

• Simulation scaling baseline 01 records the first full-fidelity population/history measurements and the bounded next optimization.
