Performance and Scaling

Performance advice is only useful when it points to the real owner of the bottleneck.

Operating Rules

• optimize only when compatibility cost becomes operationally material
• avoid deep tuning that makes the bridge look like a permanent execution owner
• measure whether the real bottleneck belongs in the canonical runtime instead

First Proof Check

• src/agentic_proteins/runtime/ and providers/
