+The harness excludes workers created by pre-capture seed setup through an exact
+capture-generation marker. Since the production M3U database payload
+deliberately omits the refresh operation ID, the benchmark correlates only a
+valid preload `start` marker to the exact database operation and playlist. A
+missing or ambiguous marker leaves the raw operation ID `null` with a fixed
+reason; it does not infer identity from timing alone.

+Headline worker fields named `*WorkerRequest*` are distributions of individual
+request metrics. In particular, request p95/p99 distributions are not presented
+as an operation-wide or process-wide percentile, and database request
+percentiles are never collapsed with `Math.max`. Diagnostic CPU profiles, heap
+snapshots, and Chromium traces are excluded from the five-run headline

+### Opt-in request performance capture
+
+`IPTVNATOR_PERF_WORKER_PROFILING=1` adds development/test-only performance
+metadata to each database-worker response. It is disabled by default and must
+stay disabled for production launches.
+
+Each enabled request gets a fresh event-loop-delay histogram and records:
+
+- `requestReceivedEpochMs`, `workStartedEpochMs`, `workEndedEpochMs`, and
+  `histogramFlushedEpochMs`
+- worker-thread CPU user/system microseconds from `process.threadCpuUsage()`
+- event-loop utilization across the exact work interval
+- event-loop-delay max/p95/p99 from the request's own histogram
+- fixed invalid or unavailable reasons whenever a metric cannot be attributed
+
+Histogram arming waits until the histogram has a sample; flushing waits for its
+sample count to advance after work ends. Both waits use condition-based timer
+polling. Each wait stops after 50 ms of observed monotonic time or its bounded
+poll count; arming and flushing have separate caps, and timer scheduling may
+overshoot wall-clock time. A timeout or profiling API failure never replaces
+the business response: timestamps and any independently available CPU/ELU
+metrics remain valid, while event-loop delay is `null` with a fixed reason.
+
+The long-lived database worker still executes concurrent requests without a
+profiling queue. If captures overlap, every overlapping response carries
+`invalidReason: "overlapping-database-worker-requests"` and all attributable
+CPU, ELU, and event-loop-delay values are `null`. This avoids assigning shared
+worker activity to one request while preserving normal worker concurrency.
