+//! Bench harness for the trie-based ad-block engine (issue #199 sub-task A).
+//!
+//! This is **not** a Criterion bench — the repo deliberately avoids the
+//! `criterion` dependency (CI runs `cargo test`, not `cargo bench`,
+//! and these measurements are for landing-time verification of the
+//! issue's "100k rules, lookup p99 < 1µs" target, not for tracking
+//! regressions over time).
+//!
+//! Each measurement prints median / p95 / p99 latency in nanoseconds.
+//! Run with:
+//!
+//! ```bash
+//! cd src-tauri
+//! cargo bench --bench adblock_trie -- --nocapture
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Or to only run the lookup bench:
+//! ```bash
