build(bench): scaffold isolated external workspace

[DecisionNerd]

Description

Scaffolds the dependency-isolated external benchmark workspace under benchmarks/ without changing the legacy harness or any GraphForge product package.

The workspace has independent Python and Rust locks, separate orchestration/profile/suite/provider/schema/test/runner boundaries, and a no-cost smoke that proves locked installation, fixture discovery, unpublished Rust packages, and a local dependency graph contained entirely within the benchmark workspace.

Fly remains disabled. This PR contains no provisioning or execution path; the checked-in adapter fixture records the complete-stack merge and qualification gate.

Type of Change

• 🔧 Configuration/infrastructure change
• ✅ Tests (adding or updating tests)
• 📚 Documentation update

Related Issues

Closes #953

Parent: #952

Changes Made

• Add independent benchmarks/pyproject.toml + uv.lock for ReFrame and BenchExec tooling.
• Add an unpublished, independently locked Rust workspace for benchmark-owned runners.
• Add separate harness, profile, suite, Fly, schema, test, and runner directories with generated/output/credential ignores.
• Add locked no-cost smoke and dependency-isolation assertions.
• Document ownership, public-interface boundaries, legacy preservation, and the Fly prohibition.

Testing

Test Coverage

• Unit tests added/updated
• Integration smoke added/updated
• TCK tests unaffected
• Changed-surface tests pass

Test Commands Run

make -C benchmarks smoke
make -C benchmarks -j2 smoke
uv lock --project benchmarks --check
git diff --check

The Rust graph smoke also runs locked Cargo metadata and rejects local packages outside benchmarks/ or any publishable benchmark package.

Walkthrough

The PR adds an isolated benchmarks/ workspace with Python and Rust projects, benchmark fixtures, validation harnesses, smoke tests, and Makefile targets.

Changes

Benchmark workspace

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workspace and benchmark contracts benchmarks/.gitignore, benchmarks/Cargo.toml, benchmarks/pyproject.toml, benchmarks/runners/smoke/*, benchmarks/profiles/*, benchmarks/suites/*, benchmarks/schemas/*, benchmarks/fly/*	Defines isolated Python and Rust workspaces, the smoke runner, benchmark metadata, fixture schemas, profiles, suites, and disabled provider configuration.
Workspace validation harness benchmarks/harness/graphforge_bench/*	Discovers benchmark fixtures and validates Rust package isolation through locked Cargo metadata.
Smoke execution and tests benchmarks/Makefile, benchmarks/tests/*	Adds installation and smoke-test targets. Tests cover fixture discovery, dependency filtering, and missing-fixture failures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7801b

The new benchmark workspace is isolated, but its evidence schema currently rejects every valid result object, and the Rust smoke does not enforce formatting and lint checks. Merge should wait for these validation issues to be corrected.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The reviewable changes address the workspace structure, smoke validation, dependency isolation checks, ignored generated data and credentials, and unpublished Rust packages. Verification of the independent Python and Rust lock files and ownership documentation is inconclusive because benchmarks/uv.lock, benchmarks/Cargo.lock, and benchmarks/README.md were excluded by the !/*.lock and !/*.md path filters.

Resolution

Review benchmarks/uv.lock, benchmarks/Cargo.lock, and benchmarks/README.md outside the configured path filters. Confirm that both locks are independent, the Rust workspace uses publish = false, and the documentation defines workspace ownership and public-interface boundaries.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are focused on scaffolding the isolated external benchmark workspace. The summaries show no product-package changes, legacy harness changes, CodSpeed migration, or Fly provisioning or execution path.
