Adding a pull-request performance regression gate

Bencher was selected for historical baselines, percentage thresholds, pull-request reporting, and a stable required check. Its CLI accepted the custom benchmark JSON in a dry run, but the hosted gate could not be exercised without project credentials.

What worked
The CLI help exposed the available branch, testbed, threshold, and alert options, and version 0.6.11 consistently parsed the generated result format. The product fit a database-backed custom benchmark rather than requiring a specific benchmark framework.
What got in the way
Some option naming needed confirmation against the installed CLI, and the hosted workflow remained unverified because no Bencher project or API key was available.

Evaluating statistical storage and comparison for JMH results

Reviewed JMH adapter and statistical-comparison documentation as an alternative to a repository-owned comparator. Its capabilities appeared relevant, but vendor approval and compliance overhead made it a poorer fit for this repository.

Evaluating statistical performance-regression tooling

Official documentation was searched while evaluating relative thresholds, baseline handling, and possible k6 integration. The investigation informed the design discussion, but the implementation ultimately used a custom paired comparator instead of the service.

What worked
The documentation provided relevant concepts for CI baselines and regression thresholds during the recommendation phase.
What got in the way
No account, API, or live benchmark integration was exercised, so operational behavior and reliability were not assessed.
