+"""Apple UMA PersonaMotor Benchmark — ADR-0027 / ADR-0028 proof of concept.
+
+Measures the VRAM footprint and execution latency of the Cl(4,1) versor
+sandwich product applied during generation field-walking, compiled into a
+fused Metal kernel via ``@mx.compile``.
+
+The three identity packs exercised below correspond to the axis directions
+that ``PersonaMotor.from_identity_manifold`` would derive from real pack
+JSON.  They are constructed inline here so that this benchmark has zero
+dependency on the pack loader path — the motor geometry is identical to
+what the runtime builds.
+
+Key claims proved by this script
+---------------------------------
+Topological Cost Neutrality (ADR-0027):
+    Peak VRAM and step latency should be statistically indistinguishable
+    across identity.default_general_v1, identity.precision_first_v1, and
+    identity.generosity_first_v1.  Changing CORE's behavioral character
+    incurs no additional GPU overhead — there is no "alignment tax".
+
+Backpressure Validation (ADR-0028):
+    The ``if step % 50 == 0: mx.eval(F)`` boundary mirrors the async
+    token-yielding rhythm of ``ChatRuntime``.  An Active VRAM Delta of
+    ~0.00 MB confirms that the lazy MLX computation graph is cleared safely
+    at each yield point and does not accumulate unboundedly.
+
+Correctness notes
+-----------------
+``PersonaMotor.apply()`` calls ``algebra.versor.versor_apply``, which is
+a NumPy path.  The ``compiled_field_step`` below replicates the sandwich
+product arithmetic directly in MLX so that the Metal kernel-fusion path
+is exercised.  The benchmark does not call ``motor.apply(F)`` on an MLX
+array — that would silently fall back to NumPy and defeat the purpose.
