agent: phase2-tokei-001 — first auto-accepted win from the unattended loop

Ledger row: class 5 (algorithmic) on tokei, first-byte gate table for
the per-byte token matchers in perform_multi_line_analysis.
Speedup median 1.107, 95% CI [1.084, 1.131] vs the banked-wins baseline,
workload: 221 MB / 4360 files, single rayon thread, pinned core.

Manual audit gates (pipeline covers tests+golden+bench only):
- Differential fuzz, 10k mutated inputs across 200 batched runs:
  0 divergences after canonicalizing tokei's benign parallel-walker
  output ordering (present in pristine baseline; counts identical).
  Fuzzer added as scripts/diff-fuzz-tokei.py.
- ASan run recorded in the case study (next commit).

+## Attempt summary
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| **Run ID** | `phase2-tokei-001` |
+| **Target / hotspot** | tokei — `LanguageType::parse_lines` 55.89% Ir / 62% branches / 44% branch-misses + `__memcmp_avx2_movbe` 9.37% Ir |
+| **Playbook class** | 5 (algorithmic — precomputed lookup table tier) |
+| **Patch** | `4e3da7e6bd1c`: 256-entry first-byte "interesting bytes" table in `SharedMatchers` (superset of all quote/comment token start+end first bytes, plus `\`), gating the five per-byte token matchers in `perform_multi_line_analysis`; `parse_context` still consulted on gated bytes so semantics are exactly preserved |
+| **Verdict** | **accepted** |
+| **Speedup (median)** | 1.1071× (~+10.7%) |
+| **Speedup 95% CI** | **[1.0836, 1.1310]** — CI lower bound +8.4%, clear of the 2% accept threshold |
+
+Measured on the tokei benchmark workload (`tokei --sort code corpora/tokei/input`), interleaved A/B vs pristine-rebuilt baseline, all equivalence gates green (upstream tests, golden replay, diff-fuzz, sanitizers — no FP/concurrency/unsafe surface touched, so no human-review routing triggered).
+
+The hypothesis predicted 5–12% median; the measured +10.7% landed inside that band. Notably, this also satisfies the outstanding Phase 2 exit criterion of at least one auto-accepted win from the unattended loop. One attempt was requested; stopping here.
