Part of #44: the perf harness. Superseded by #96 (this PR stopped picking up pushes on the forge). Its title and body were wrongly copied from another PR when it was opened; fixed here.

Part of #44: the perf harness. Superseded by #96 (this PR stopped picking up pushes on the forge). Its title and body were wrongly copied from another PR when it was opened; fixed here. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
`calternal-fixtures` makes realistic Homes (1k/10k/100k notes) in the real
on-disk format, byte-identical for a seed: daily notes with log entries,
regular notes with frontmatter (+05:30 times), links `[t](<path.md>)`,
tags, tasks, attachment refs, 1 in 2,000 notes at 50,000 words, some in a
subfolder, some without a `calternal-id`.

`calternal-perf` runs the real server binary on them: first-start indexing
(cold), then fresh servers on the indexed Home measuring startup to
/healthz, notes.list, journal catch-up, opening notes (room join and
notes.get), sync round trip and save ack, and an edit storm (4 clients,
10k keystrokes with save checks, plus an outside app rewriting the file)
that checks nothing was lost or doubled. RSS and disk bytes written come
from /proc. Median of runs per p50/p95 with a noise figure; budgets in
perf/budgets.json, --gate exits 1 on a breach.

perf/run-vm.sh runs it on the perf machine; perf/browser.sh wraps the
existing @perf keystroke-to-paint browser test.

The storm kept typing before the first "\nOutside line", but a keystroke
right after that newline glued onto the outside line, moved the boundary
past it, and later keystrokes edited it. The check then reported the line
missing, though the server had kept every line exactly once (verified in
the saved files). Typing now stops before the newline ahead of the first
outside line. run-vm.sh copies with tar (no rsync needed) and keeps the
build outside the copied tree.

docs/perf/budgets.md says what each metric measures, how (perf VM, no host
cache, page cache dropped, median of 5 runs, noise), the gated budget and
the target for each, the first baseline at 1k/10k/100k notes, and the
problems it shows: a fake outside change journaled per unopened note on
every start, slow first-start indexing, one fsync per keystroke per room,
and heavy whole-Home lists at 100k. perf/budgets.json holds the same
limits for the harness; targets the code doesn't meet yet don't gate.

dev now pages `notes.list` and filters by tag, so the harness measures
what the app asks for: a page of 50 newest first, A to Z, by tag, and 20
pages on through a cursor. A cold run is done when a one-note page counts
every note and the Home says its scan finished (`incomplete: false`).

The request that opens the Home is now the first page of the note list
(`home.first_page`, gated). The old whole-Home list stays measured
(`home.first_list`, `home.list`) but only as a target: it is deprecated
and costs seconds at 100k notes.
