| role | case | median_ms | ops | ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|

go1.27.3, 2026-10-23. Warm 3, median of 9.
The microbench shows a cost for this one shape. Default stays hint until the shape is corpus-triaged. This ratio is not a general speedup.
Unblock
Do not set the default to error from this file alone. A changing input, a cold path, or another ABI can erase the difference. Corpus triage is still required before any default change.
