+InvarLock Guard Effect Benchmark - Step 14 Implementation
+=====================================================
+
+Benchmark harness for comparing "bare" vs "guarded" runs across different edit types,
+tiers, and probes configurations. Provides comprehensive analysis of guard effectiveness
+and overhead with precise validation gates.
+
+Usage:
+    python -m invarlock.eval.bench --edits quant_rtn --tiers balanced --probes 0,2,4 --profile ci
+
+Key Features:
+- Edit × Tier × Probes scenario grid
+- Paired runs (bare vs guarded) with identical windows
+- Comprehensive metrics with validation gates
+- Support for CI (50/50) and Release (100/100) profiles
+- Optional dependency checking (e.g., GPTQ)
+- JSON artifacts and Markdown summary tables
+- Exit non-zero on any gate failure
