Method

Each section fixes both independent dimensions: gh-aw source (main or combined stable/pre-release released) and execution mode (inference or samples). Only overall-successful workflow_dispatch runs with a successful agent job are included. Candidate regression baselines use up to ten preceding observations from the same section and step; displayed regression episodes are limited to the six weeks before report generation. A step is graphed when it has a sustained cost, recent slowdown, or recent regression. Runs with missing compiler metadata remain in CSV/JSON but are excluded from graphs.
