Resource measurement
Purpose: Associate workload, environment and recovery evidence with resource observations without turning a local sample into a host guarantee.
Scenario: An operator reproduces a pinned canonical fixture through ordinary HTTP/CLI entries. The disposable collector records PHP allocations, sampled process/child RSS, physical I/O, time, result parity and failures separately. A failed candidate retains its prior live output; the report records the retry and marks untested roles, shapes and deployment environments explicitly.
Sources: measurement contract, archived collector, reproduction, evidence and limits.
Boundary: This is an isolated study workflow, not permanent application telemetry or a benchmark CLI product. Process samples miss short-lived children; selected rows do not establish loaded rows; warm-cache zero physical reads do not mean zero I/O work. Earlier process-group-only samples and harness failures retain their original limitations. No production load or dependency installation is implicit.
