benchOpen timed LogStore.open -- the append path. Production never takes it: Repository.open falls back to openReadOnly, and Repository.logStore, the lazy content channel behind blob, cat, checkout and sync, calls openReadOnly with no cache in front. Every open number this effort has produced described a path no CLI verb enters.
That was survivable while the two paths ran the same scan. It stops being survivable the moment either one scans header-only, at which point the bench would report the optimized path while production still paid the full cost. --mode append|read-only defaults to append so existing invocations report unchanged numbers, and the mode is in the output line because the two are only comparable when a captured log can tell them apart.
Calibration on this tree, before any scan change: the modes agree within noise on all four shapes -- run B is 1% apart. That agreement is the check that the flag measures what it claims. by dmestas on 2026-07-31 19:23:48.
