docs: OpenStream benchmark report for nixamp 0.24.2 (#184)
Manual publish of the report attached to the nixamp v0.24.2 release
(openstream-report-0.24.2.json/.md). The release workflow's
publish-report job skipped because LOGICSRC_PUBLISH_TOKEN is not set
on profullstack/nixamp. Built-in synthetic corpus, so the id carries
the -synthetic label per docs/openstream/reports/README.md.

Caveats

  • Envelope v1: a 16-byte stream header, a 48-byte header per frame, plus one end frame.
  • OpenStream is a framing envelope over Zstandard and gzip, not a new compression algorithm; these numbers are those codecs at the block boundary, honestly framed.
  • Synthetic samples do not predict production savings. A padded transport stream flatters a codec by its padding; an efficient real feed saves far less. Use --corpus with authorized real samples for numbers that mean something.
  • Timings are wall-clock on the machine and runtime named in environment and do not transfer to other hardware.
  • roundTrip:false in any row is a failure of exactness and must block a release.
