Register Conventions and Calling Discipline: Reports and Metrics
Reports and Metrics for Register Conventions and Calling Discipline.
Reports and metrics
Reports and Metrics for Register Conventions and Calling Discipline is anchored on Function-call overhead (instructions per call), spill/reload rate, and ABI conformance pass rate in integration tests.. Convert observations into mechanism-backed decisions with explicit ownership.

Stop at first confirmed mechanism, then assign explicit owner + fix proof.Track Function-call overhead (instructions per call), spill/reload rate, and ABI conformance pass rate in integration tests. on representative workloads, not just microbenchmarks.
Include build/runtime/privilege metadata in report headers.
Pair performance movement with correctness and reliability checks.
Report tail stability, not only mean uplift.
