+ 2.13, `tools/embed-latency-bench`, batch=1, 200 timed iterations/corpus
+ after 20 warmups)**. Production path is fp32, not int8 (int8 remains a
+ deferred D2 optimization). Reference box: i9-9900K, 8 logical cores,
+ contended condition (load avg 2.0–3.6, ~11/15 GiB RAM in use, live daemon
+ running):
+
+ | corpus | tokens (mean) | p50 | p95 |
+ |------------------------------|---------------|---------|--------|
+ | short query | 13.8 | 281 ms | 315 ms |
+ | medium (~180 tok) | 178.2 | 274 ms | 298 ms |
+ | doc-length (~440 tok) | 442.1 | 275 ms | 294 ms |
+ | short, concurrency=2 | 13.8 | 274 ms | 291 ms |
+ | cold load (model load + 1st embed) | — | 1069 ms | — |
+
+ All three corpora cost nearly the same regardless of length, because
+ `OnnxMemoryEmbedder` always runs a fixed 512-token forward pass (no
+ length-based truncation) — the fp32 matmul, not tokenization, dominates.
+ Concurrency=2 gave no throughput benefit on this contended box (two
+ parallel 100-call loops took as long in aggregate as one sequential
+ 200-call stream). **Verdict: the 150 ms query-embedding sub-budget does
+ not hold on this hardware — p95 is ~2.1× over budget (margin ≈ −165 ms)**;
+ the highest-leverage unexplored mitigation is a query-specific max-length
+ (e.g. 64 tokens, not int8 quantization) before Slice 4 ships.
+- ~~Does dynamic (query-specific) sequence length actually work on this ONNX
+ graph, and is it a drop-in change?~~ **MEASURED AND RESOLVED** (same
+ `tools/embed-latency-bench`, dynamic-length extension, same box, same
+ batch=1/200-iteration/20-warmup protocol). Step 1: `InferenceSession
+ .InputMetadata` shows all three inputs (`input_ids`, `attention_mask`,
+ `token_type_ids`) declare shape `[batch_size, sequence_length]` — both
+ dimensions symbolic, not fixed — so the graph accepts any sequence length;
+ no re-export required. Step 2: padding each input to its actual tokenized
+ length (rounded up to a multiple of 8) instead of fixed 512:
+
+ | corpus | tokens (mean) | fixed-512 p50 | fixed-512 p95 | dynamic-len p50 | dynamic-len p95 |
+ |------------------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|------------------|------------------|
+ | short query | 13.8 | 281.9 ms | 310.5 ms | **19.0 ms** | **20.9 ms** |
+ | medium (~178 tok) | 178.2 | 281.7 ms | 312.2 ms | **84.1 ms** | **93.3 ms** |
+ | doc-length (~442 tok) | 442.1 | 280.3 ms | 304.6 ms | **235.5 ms** | **250.1 ms** |
+
+ Step 3, correctness (not just speed): 10 fixed sentences (5 short queries +
+ 5 longer bank sentences), embedded both ways, cosine similarity fixed-512
+ vs dynamic-length — **1.000000 on all 10 (min = mean = 1.000000)**: the
+ attention mask fully accounts for the padding difference, so this is a
+ correctness-neutral, pure-performance change. Contention context: load
+ average 1.40/1.44/2.36 before the ~6-minute run, 4.76/3.63/3.08 after (the
+ run's own CPU load, not external contention). **Verdict: dynamic sequence
+ length is adopted as the Slice 4 mitigation** — short-query p95 lands at
+ ~14% of the 150 ms sub-budget (huge margin), medium and doc-length both
+ drop meaningfully too. Int8 quantization and relaxing the sub-budget are no
+ longer necessary; both remain available as future levers if traffic shifts
+ toward longer queries.

+Graph shape (deliberately NOT a real BERT export — see below for why):
+
+ input_ids int64 [batch, seq] --Gather(embedding_matrix)--> token_embeddings [batch, seq, dims]
+ attention_mask int64 [batch, seq] --Cast/Unsqueeze--> mask [batch, seq, 1]
+ token_embeddings * mask --ReduceSum(axis=1)--> sum_embeddings [batch, 1, dims]
+ mask --ReduceSum(axis=1)--> sum_mask [batch, 1, 1] --Clip(min=1e-9)-->
+ last_hidden_state = sum_embeddings / sum_mask [batch, 1, dims]
+
+Why mean-pooling instead of a plain Gather + CLS passthrough: OnnxMemoryEmbedder
+always reads position 0 along the sequence axis of `last_hidden_state` (CLS-token
+selection — matches both allowlisted production models per their model cards).
+A plain Gather has no cross-token mixing, so a fixture that just emits per-token
+rows would make position 0 *always* equal the fixed [CLS]-token embedding row
+regardless of the rest of the input — every text would embed identically, and a
+bug that dropped the input text entirely would go uncaught. Attention-masked mean
+pooling over all real (non-padding) tokens, reported as the graph's only sequence
+position, makes the fixture's output genuinely depend on input content — exactly
+like a real model's contextualized CLS output does — while keeping
+OnnxMemoryEmbedder's "always read index 0" logic identical for fixture and
+production graphs. The graph declares no token_type_ids input (unlike the real
+BERT exports) on purpose: OnnxMemoryEmbedder must feed only the inputs a loaded
+session actually declares (session.InputMetadata.Keys), never a hardcoded
+assumption of the 3-input production signature.

+// Honest one-shot latency bench for OnnxMemoryEmbedder (memory-core-redesign task 2.13).
+//
+// Loads the production embedder exactly the way the daemon would (provisioner hash-verify
+// against the pinned allowlist, then OnnxMemoryEmbedder.LoadAsync — same pooling, same
+// IntraOpNumThreads=4, same BoundedConcurrencyGate(2)), then times batch=1 EmbedAsync calls
+// across three hardcoded corpora (short query / medium / doc-length), a cold-load measurement,
+// and a concurrency-2 pass. This is a Stopwatch harness, not BenchmarkDotNet — the goal is one
+// honest percentile table on the reference box, not microbenchmark rigor.
+//
+// Usage: dotnet run -c Release --project tools/embed-latency-bench [modelDirectory]
+// Default modelDirectory: ~/recall-research-local/models/snowflake-arctic-embed-m
+//
+// Never downloads anything: if the model directory is missing or fails SHA-256 verification
+// against EmbeddingModelProvisioner.Allowlist, this exits with an error instead of fetching it.
