Summary
Benchmark governance side effect and decision materialization so persisted outputs and request-level decision records stay visible over time.
Goal
Measure the overhead of materializing governance side effects, decisions, and execution-linked output that downstream consumers read from audit, history, or request stores.
Problem
Governance already records side effects, decisions, and execution-linked output, but those materialization paths are not benchmarked as a dedicated runtime surface.
Without a benchmark for governance materialization behavior, changes in side effect copying, decision projection, or persisted output shape can quietly add overhead without being visible in runtime measurements.
Scope
Design Expectations
- The benchmark should measure a real governance output flow rather than a toy loop.
- Side effect and decision output should remain visible where possible.
- Helper code should stay local to the benchmark project.
- Scenario names should make the materialization path obvious.
Suggested Measurements
- request with side effects materialized for persistence
- request decision output materialized for downstream consumption
- execution-linked governance output materialized for audit or history
Acceptance Criteria
Non-Goals
- This issue does not change governance runtime behavior
- This issue does not add provider-specific persistence benchmarks
- This issue does not optimize materialization prematurely
- This issue does not add full integration or load testing
Notes
This issue is a child of the governance benchmark umbrella #73.
