Performance optimisation
Profiling, flamegraphs, bundle size, load tests. THREE independent graders flagged its absence — it existed pre-O*NET-rederivation as `optimize-performance` and was lost in the rebuild, so profilers were landing in `debugging` or `observability`, neither of which is what a profiler is for. tashan measures 19 capabilities for this work. Ranked on upkeep, freshness and real adoption, every input public. How we measure ›
