How to design and read an extension E2E benchmark run, how to report a result from several rounds, how per-iteration metrics flow from collector to reporter, and how Web Vitals are collected in benchmarks versus in production.
Where the browser delivers no `longtask` entries, the observer's counts stay at their initial 0, so a zero reads the same whether no task ran long or none could be seen.

Motivation
Nothing in the repo says what a benchmark difference means.
performance-testingruns the benchmark. How many rounds, how much variance, and whether a 4% gap is a result are all unanswered. Without that a benchmark reports noise as a win, which is worse than not running one, because it produces a number people cite.Web Vitals numbers from a benchmark and from production routinely disagree, and the disagreement is a property of how each is collected rather than a regression.
Overview
Adds one skill and four knowledge files for E2E performance benchmarks. The profiling, render-delta and data-analysis skills are in #144.
benchmark-designcovers session hygiene, reporting across rounds, and artifact grouping.Knowledge:
benchmark-statistical-hygiene(one primary analysis fixed before the runs, isolating the fix vector, the artifact sort-order trap),metrics-pipeline-design(the collector, runner, statistics and reporter layers), and two on Web Vitals: runtime metrics, and why production numbers disagree with benchmark numbers.Showcase
No trial run yet. These are measurement instruments, and the honest evidence for one is a run that moved a decision. There is not one to cite.
