  * Additionally, if you hope to see some utilization cases, see the below

+ * Processing cost: Totals are split across T servants once; E events are
+ * aggregated with hash-based endpoint grouping. Progress notifications update
+ * the aggregate from one servant counter delta in constant time. Event
+ * statistics and rendering traverse their input populations; discovery visits
+ * each real directory once.
+ *
+ * Computation reuse: A master distributes distinct request budgets rather than
+ * replaying one effectful request. Endpoint grouping shares one event
+ * population across whole-run and endpoint statistics. Results are not cached
+ * across benchmark runs because server state and timing change.
+ *
+ * Resource ownership: Each master owns at most threads connectors and
+ * simultaneous function workers; connector closure is attempted on
+ * connection/execution success or failure; a rejected close is suppressed and
+ * may leave an unreleased child process. Events retained by servants/master
+ * scale with logged events, and memory samples with run duration. The
+ * independent sampler detaches its report target on stop or rejection and
+ * clears/wakes its owned timer. A pending caller memory getter has no
+ * cancellation hook, but its task retains only the sampler state/getter and
+ * cannot keep the master report arrays, connectors or event collections through
+ * that state. Its eventual result is discarded after deactivation. Returned
+ * reports transfer their arrays to callers.
+ *
+ * Platform boundary: WorkerConnector process mode owns Node child-process
+ * launch/IPC and its explicit stdio modes. Feature discovery resolves the
+ * caller location with native path and fs realpath/stat, follows directory
+ * links with realpath cycle detection and imports discovered native absolute
+ * paths. It does not infer filesystem case policy from OS names.

+ * @evidence contracts/common.md#principled-implementation The master spawns one child process per thread through tgrid's process-mode `WorkerConnector`, drives each servant over RPC, and merges the returned events; totals are split by floor plus remainder so the shares sum to the requested count and simultaneous budget.
+ * @evidence contracts/common.md#clear-and-simple-design One namespace is the public surface (master, servant, markdown, props, report); execution, discovery, and cleanup helpers stay private, and statistics and rendering live in their own internal namespaces.
