Autoresearch: syncer benchmark execution overhead

Objective

Optimize the rewrite branch's end-to-end sync execution overhead as measured by the in-process internal/syncer benchmarks. The target workload is the trio of execution-path benchmarks that exercise bootstrap relay, incremental relay, and materialized fallback. We care about lowering aggregate benchmark time without breaking behavior or widening the product surface.

Metrics

How to Run

./autoresearch.sh — outputs structured METRIC name=value lines.

What's Been Tried

# Autoresearch script for running benchmarks

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

# Fast pre-check: compile the benchmarked package before spending time running benches.
go test -run '^$' ./internal/syncer >/dev/null

Batch-planning sensitivity experiment for #14:

env GOCACHE=/tmp/go-build GITSYNC_E2E_GIT_HTTP_BACKEND=1 go test ./internal/syncer -run TestBootstrap_GitHTTPBackendBatchedPlanningTracksBatchLimit -v

That test uses a real git-http-backend source/target pair and checks that a smaller --batch-max-pack-bytes planning limit produces at least as many planned checkpoints as a larger one, while still planning to the branch tip.
