+
+**Security note**: Rperf::Viewer has no built-in authentication and exposes
+profiling data (including stack traces and label values) to anyone who can
+reach the endpoint. In production, always restrict access using your
+framework's authentication — see "Access control" below. The UI loads
+d3.js and d3-flame-graph from CDNs (cdnjs.cloudflare.com, cdn.jsdelivr.net).
+
+```ruby
+# config.ru or Rails config
+require "rperf/viewer"
+use Rperf::Viewer                         # mount at /rperf/ (default)
+use Rperf::Viewer, path: "/profiler"      # custom mount path
+use Rperf::Viewer, max_snapshots: 12      # keep fewer snapshots (default: 24)
+```
+
+Take snapshots via `Rperf::Viewer.instance.take_snapshot!` or
+`Rperf::Viewer.instance.add_snapshot(data)`.
+
+#### Typical setup with RackMiddleware and periodic snapshots
+
+```ruby
+require "rperf/viewer"

+    sleep 60 * 60
+    Rperf::Viewer.instance&.take_snapshot!
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Visit `/rperf/` in a browser. Snapshots accumulate automatically
+(up to `max_snapshots`, oldest are discarded). You can also trigger
+a snapshot manually via an endpoint or console:
+
+```ruby
+Rperf::Viewer.instance.take_snapshot!
+```
+
+#### Access control
+
+Rperf::Viewer has no built-in authentication. Restrict access using
+your framework's existing mechanisms:
+
+```ruby
+# Rails: route constraint (e.g., admin-only)
+# config/routes.rb
+require "rperf/viewer"

-## SYNTHETIC FRAMES
+## VM STATE LABELS
+
+rperf tracks GVL and GC states as **labels** (tags) on samples, not as
+stack frames. The C extension records a VM state per sample, and the Ruby
+layer merges it into the sample's label set using reserved keys `%GVL`
+and `%GC`.
 
-In wall mode, rperf adds synthetic frames that represent non-CPU time:
+In wall mode, GVL state labels are recorded:
 
-- **[GVL blocked]** — Time the thread spent off-GVL (I/O, sleep, C extension
+- **%GVL=blocked** — The thread was off-GVL (I/O, sleep, C extension
   releasing GVL). Attributed to the stack at SUSPENDED.
-- **[GVL wait]** — Time the thread spent waiting to reacquire the GVL after
+- **%GVL=wait** — The thread was waiting to reacquire the GVL after
   becoming ready. Indicates GVL contention. Same stack.
 
-In both modes, GC time is tracked:
+In both modes, GC state labels are recorded:
+
+- **%GC=mark** — Time spent in GC marking phase (wall time).
+- **%GC=sweep** — Time spent in GC sweeping phase (wall time).
+
+These labels appear in `label_sets` (e.g., `{"%GVL" => "blocked"}`,
+`{"%GC" => "mark"}`) and are written into pprof sample labels.
+
+To add VM state as frames in flamegraphs, use pprof tag options:
+
+    go tool pprof -tagleaf=%GVL profile.pb.gz
+    go tool pprof -tagroot=%GC profile.pb.gz

 **Problem: GC pauses**
 - Mode: cpu or wall
-- Look for: [GC marking] and [GC sweeping] samples.
-- High [GC marking] → too many live objects; reduce allocations.
-- High [GC sweeping] → too many short-lived objects; reuse or pool.
+- Look for: samples with %GC=mark and %GC=sweep labels.

 **Problem: multithreaded app slower than expected**
 - Mode: wall
-- Look for: [GVL wait] time across threads.
-- High [GVL wait] means threads are serialized on the GVL.
