David Snelling c605b34f98 test(8.0): A/B benchmark harness (open leg) — generic corpus+metrics lib, brainy-alone scaling bench, boundary guard, real-embedding recall guard
The open-core, Cortex-free half of the library A/B (handoff AJ/AK), authored once in
brainy so the proprietary A/B comparison can import it for both legs:

- tests/benchmarks/lib/corpus.js — deterministic clustered-mixture corpus generator
  (recompute-on-demand, O(clusters·dim) memory) for latency/ingest/memory at scale.
- tests/benchmarks/lib/metrics.js — percentiles, brute-force recall@k, RSS snapshot.
- tests/benchmarks/brainy-scale.js — brainy-alone scaling leg (ingest, find p50/p99 for
  vector/metadata/graph/triple, RSS). Recall is intentionally NOT measured on synthetic
  data — see below.
- tests/unit/boundary-no-cortex.test.ts — CI guard: fails if @soulcraft/cortex ever
  appears in a src/ or tests/ import or in any package.json dependency field.
- tests/integration/vector-recall.test.ts — semantic-search correctness on REAL
  embeddings (19-20/20 exact-text top-1).

Methodology note: synthetic vectors (random/one-hot/clustered/latent) are near-orthogonal
under cosine, so HNSW (any graph ANN, incl. DiskANN) cannot navigate them and recall
collapses regardless of engine — a property of the data, not the index. Brainy vector
search is verified correct on real embeddings. The A/B recall@10 column is therefore
measured on SIFT/BIGANN, identically for both legs.

/**
* @module tests/benchmarks/lib/corpus
* @description Deterministic synthetic-corpus generator for scaling benchmarks —
* the single source of truth so the open-core leg and the (proprietary) A/B
* comparison leg measure the IDENTICAL workload. Vectors follow a
* mixture-of-clusters distribution (clusters of related points + small noise),
* which is closer to real embedding geometry than uniform-random and is the
* worst case to avoid for product quantization — matching the methodology used
* by the native-provider benchmark suite so columns are comparable.
*
* Everything is recomputed on demand from a seed + index (no large arrays held),
* so a 1M / 10M corpus costs O(clusters·dim) memory, not O(n·dim). Same seed ⇒
* byte-identical corpus across runs, machines, and the two A/B legs.
*
* Cortex-free by construction: this is generic MIT benchmark tooling, usable by
* any open-core consumer to benchmark their own deployment. It is NOT shipped in
* the npm package (tests/ is outside `files`).
