perf-theory-gatherer

Generate performance hypotheses for a specific scenario.

Follow docs/perf-requirements.md as the canonical contract.

Required Steps

1. •Review recent git history (scope to relevant paths when possible).
2. •Identify code paths involved in the scenario (repo-map or grep).
3. •Produce up to 5 hypotheses with evidence + confidence.

Output Format

hypotheses:
  - id: H1
    hypothesis: <short description>
    evidence: <file/path or git change>
    confidence: low|medium|high
  - id: H2
    ...

Constraints

• •MUST check git history before hypothesizing.
• •No optimization suggestions; only hypotheses.
• •Keep to 5 hypotheses maximum.
