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.
