Add benchmark information

[saulshanabrook]

Summary

This PR makes benchmark wall-time changes additive and attributable. When an
endpoint gets slower or faster, bench.py can show whether the change came
from frontend work, source-rule execution, equality maintenance, command
evaluation, or still-unmeasured time, then drill into the rulesets responsible
for the engine portion.

• records exclusive timing for parsing, typechecking, lowering/install,
  commands, ruleset assembly/search/apply/execution/merge, and native rebuild;
• gives source and equality-maintenance rulesets explicit roles instead of
  inferring them from generated names;
• renders one additive mechanism decomposition at --detail phases and a
  reconciled per-file ruleset expansion at --detail rulesets;
• derives both views from one canonical per-file partition, so their Program
  and Equality parent totals agree by construction; and
• uses the same table model and column-layout policy in Rich, Markdown, and the
  interactive report.

The report remains observational: it says where measured time changed. It does
not turn selected combinations of measured cells into speculative speedup
tables.

Design

The timing model was initially explored as an open leaf ledger. That was useful
while the presentation was unsettled: several view designs could be tested by
changing only the projection. Once the two surviving questions were clear, the
final implementation froze that model into typed records instead of retaining
a path grammar and generic tree machinery.

There is now one cumulative OverallReport on the e-graph. It owns the
schedule-local RunReport plus the process timings that surround ruleset runs.
TimingSummary::from_report is the single aggregation boundary from raw
iterations to the versioned transport:

• fixed process fields for typecheck, parse, other frontend work, install,
  actions, checks, and other commands;
• one typed row per (role, ruleset) with Assembly, Search, Apply, Execution,
  and Merge; and
• one global native-rebuild value.

Native rebuild is intentionally global. The source ruleset whose tail happened
to flush updates is a scheduling detail, not the semantic owner of the rebuild
service. The report therefore does not claim that individual source rules got
cheaper merely because native rebuild moved to another implementation.

The Rust EGraph::query API is also charged to command/check work without
leaving a fresh synthetic ruleset contributor behind on every call.

Accounting model

For every successful observation, the report derives these exclusive
mechanisms:

Mechanism	Included work
Typecheck	Total source and generated-program typechecking
Frontend	Parse, other lowering, and declaration/install commands
Program	Assembly, Search, Apply, Execution, and Merge for source rulesets
Equality/rebuild	Equality-maintenance rulesets plus global native rebuild
Commands	Actions/input, checks, and other schedule/command work
Residual	External wall time minus every recorded timing leaf

Residual stays visible as an accounting self-check. Mechanism deltas may be
negative, and their shares may exceed 100% when improvements in one mechanism
offset regressions in another.

The ruleset view is a literal expansion of Program and Equality/rebuild:

• its two parent rows are the exact cells shown in the decomposition;
• source children contain only their own work, excluding rebuild;
• maintenance children remain under Equality/rebuild;
• native rebuild is shown once as a global child;
• source contributors are ranked by absolute own-work delta, followed by an
  exact additive Other; and
• important phase changes use a deterministic threshold and ordering.

This answers where a change occurred, not necessarily why. For example,
higher Search time can reflect query shape, join order, tuple width, or state
growth; distinguishing those still needs profiling or a targeted ablation.

Report views

Detail	Question answered
summary	Did the endpoint comparison change wall time or RSS?
files	Which workloads changed, with endpoint confidence intervals?
phases	Which additive mechanism accounts for each wall-time delta?
rulesets	Which rulesets and phases drive Program and Equality/rebuild?

The decomposition includes a suite row and one row per file. The suite row is
the sum of per-file endpoint means, not one cumulative process observation.
Repeated Rich tables with the same schema share column widths, while Markdown
preserves complete names and values independently of terminal width.

Typical use:

./bench.py --detail phases [endpoint and file selectors]
./bench.py --detail rulesets [endpoint and file selectors]

The same views work for target comparisons, treatment comparisons, and joint
endpoint changes. Statistical endpoint comparisons retain the existing
Student-t mean intervals and Fieller ratio intervals.

Wire compatibility

This deliberately breaks disposable reporting formats rather than carrying a
migration:

• --timing-summary now emits the typed timing-summary schema V4;
• benchmark JSONL uses report schema V4, so older cache rows are recomputed;
• --save-report iteration entries now include ruleset name and timing role;
  and
• the redundant ruleset_timings and search_and_apply_time_per_rule fields
  were removed from --save-report.

The change is recorded in egglog/CHANGELOG.md.

One attribution boundary remains explicit: in the experimental custom
scheduler, backend query/action execution is ruleset work, while lazy rule
compilation and intermediate flushes surrounding annotated iterations belong
to the enclosing command timing when one exists.

Validation

• all make check components passed:
  • 188 Python tests and 2 snapshots;
  • full Rust workspace tests and doctests, including all 849 egglog file
    fixtures; and
  • Ruff, mypy, rustfmt, Clippy, and rustdoc with warnings denied;
• make benchmark-smoke: 20/20 fresh default off/proofs runs succeeded and the
  temporary JSONL reloaded successfully; and
• an independent Rust/DRY review found no remaining ownership, accounting, or
  duplication issue after its requested fixes were applied.

Reporting/instrumentation tax

The control compared this PR at 8d9ea70 with base 46f69b7 plus only the
compatibility transport needed to emit V4—none of the new fine-grained timers.
It used the ten-file default suite in off mode, 20 observations per
endpoint/file, no filtering, and two ten-round campaigns with endpoint order
reversed.

Control suite mean	V4 suite mean	V4 / control (95% Fieller CI)
3.1447 s	3.1697 s	1.00795x (0.99876–1.01716x)

The interval includes 1, so this control does not resolve a wall-time tax. The
single-order estimates moved in opposite directions (1.0209x clean-first and
0.9950x instrumented-first), which is why the reported result pools the
balanced order rather than selecting either campaign.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Reports now provide slowdown decomposition with phase details, ruleset drivers, native rebuild timing, residuals, and warnings.
  • Timing summaries distinguish frontend, command, assembly, execution, and rebuild activity.
  • Ruleset timing is categorized by program and equality responsibilities.
  • Rich and Markdown reports offer improved table alignment, emphasis styling, and clearer timing presentation.

• Breaking Changes

  • Report and timing-summary formats advance to version 4; older cached data must be regenerated.
  • Statistics and timing output reflect the revised phase and ruleset breakdowns.

Reuse _first_table_repeats_section_title in the Markdown path.

Line 165 repeats the predicate that _first_table_repeats_section_title already implements at lines 172-178. Two copies can diverge, and then Markdown and Rich would suppress the repeated table title under different conditions.
