name	performance-profiling
description	Profile likely hotspots and turn performance work into measurable next steps.

Performance Profiling

Trigger Signals

• the task is slow, resource-heavy, or performance-sensitive

Inspect First

• hotspot code paths, timing data, memory cues, and benchmark surfaces

Workflow

1. identify the slow path and measurement surface
2. isolate likely bottlenecks
3. define low-risk experiments and verification
4. report findings and next action

Output Contract

• hotspot summary
• likely bottlenecks
• measurement or benchmark plan
• recommended next step

Failure Modes

• no measurable baseline exists

Escalation

• escalate when optimization risks correctness or public contracts
