   "_note": "fingerprint = sha256 over per-file digests (filename + sha256(file bytes)), entry list sorted — binds each emitted line to its file so a row routed to the WRONG pair file changes the hash, AND catches within-file row reordering (file bytes hashed as-written). Byte-identity gate for #2203 U2/U3. NOTE: a future change that legitimately reorders emit (without changing the node/edge SET) will trip --check; regenerate then. scaling_budget bounds (t_large/t_small)/(LARGE/SMALL): observed ~0.95-1.05 (linear); 1.8 tolerates disk-I/O timing noise on CI while still catching an O(n^2) re-regression (~4x). max_ms_large=1000ms is a coarse absolute backstop (observed ~200ms) that catches a gross uniform slowdown the ratio gate misses; generous so CI host noise won't flake it. Regenerate via `node --import tsx bench/emit-persistence/measure.mjs`."
