+The concurrent benchmark in #391 measures up to twelve processes against one
+warmed cache. It caps each batch at the runner's available CPU count and uses
+additional batches on smaller runners so the p95-to-serial ratio is less
+dominated by scheduler oversubscription.
+
+### Benchmark report v2: contention and logging
+
+`base-cli.benchmark` schema version 2 adds `results.base-cli.stress` and
+`stress_budgets` with explicit units. Twelve synchronized subprocesses share a
+cache warmed past the default 20-bundle cap. Three batches report 36 invocation
+samples, serial/concurrent p95 milliseconds, and their p95 ratio; process import
+and the start barrier are outside the invocation timer. Logging measures 3,000
+INFO records per sample through a real lifecycle, both with and without persistent
+files, reporting microseconds/record and records/second. Each run also measures
+plain stdlib `FileHandler` logging in the same process and gates the persistent
+logging p95 against that baseline, so runner filesystem noise is represented on
+both sides of the comparison.
+
+| Profile | Concurrent / serial p95 cap | Persistent log p95 cap (us/record) | Persistent / stdlib p95 ratio cap |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| unix | 6 | 100 | 12 |
+| macos | 6 | 200 | 12 |
+| windows | 10 | 150 | 12 |
+| wsl | 10 | 100 | 12 |
+
+These initial hosted caps allow scheduling/filesystem variation while detecting
+material regressions. `--check` rejects missing, nonfinite, and over-budget stress
+metrics, including a persistent-to-stdlib p95 ratio above 12x. Reports retain the
+same CI artifact name and 90-day retention with the v2 schema marker; consumers
+must branch on that marker. Local and first hosted measurements are retained with
+this PR before further tightening of the caps.
+
+Development-host calibration (macOS, Python 3.14.6, 31 serial/log samples and
+36 concurrent samples): concurrent/serial p95 ratio 2.42; ephemeral logging p95
+6.20 microseconds/record; persistent logging p95 14.15 microseconds/record.
+These are local measurements; hosted per-profile results are retained separately.
+
+The [first hosted stress run](https://github.com/basefoundry/base-cli/actions/runs/37054920383)
+recorded the following 31-sample logging and 36-sample concurrency results:
+
+| Profile | Concurrent / serial p95 | Ephemeral log p95 (us/record) | Persistent log p95 (us/record) |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| macos (3-core arm64, Python 3.13) | 4.49 | 16.01 | 46.42 |
+| windows | 2.99 | 20.14 | 49.03 |
+| wsl | 4.25 | 11.44 | 22.90 |
+
+The retained Unix stress artifact measured 55.58 us/record p95. The initial macOS
+40 us/record p95 estimate rejected a run whose persistent median
+was 25.82 us/record. The first retained macOS stress run reported 46.42 us/record,
+but a repeat on the same 3-core arm64 profile reached 129.66 us/record p95 while
+the functional and platform validation jobs stayed green. The hosted macOS cap is
+therefore 200 us/record: it retains a meaningful guard above the observed runner
+tail without turning filesystem scheduling variance into a false merge blocker.
+The corresponding `base-cli-benchmark-{profile}-37054920383` and
+`base-cli-benchmark-macos-37297556739` artifacts contain machine metadata and all
+measured summaries. The Unix calibration is covered by the hosted evidence linked
+above.
