Added

• Benchmark harness with fixture manifests, disposable workspaces, cohort comparisons, and machine-readable result artifacts.
• Benchmark documentation covering fixtures, outputs, and report generation.
• New benchmark package scripts for full runs, dry runs, and report-only rebuilds.

Changed

• Codex CLI execution now uses the bash-oriented bypass path to avoid Windows sandbox shell mismatches during unattended runs.
• Feature validation now requires a dependencies array, with [] as the canonical empty value.
• ZRun defaults now allow longer sessions by raising maxTurns to 500.

Fixed

• Prompting and audit guidance now enforce a stronger verification gate before audit findings are converted into remediation work.
