+      **Measured** (2026-09-19): ten legs, not the nine counted above, each naming its image, on a
+      27.9 s warm gate — install 1.5 s, typecheck 1.1 s, Node tests 4.6 s, Deno 6.3 s, Bun 3.9 s,
+      build 1.0 s, pack and install 1.6 s, consumer typecheck 1.0 s, engines floor 0.5 s, browser
+      5.7 s. The browser leg lands in the 5.4–7.9 s the item quotes, and the markers cost nothing
+      measurable: 28.9 s before against 27.9 s after. `publish.sh` reads its fields in 2.5 s and the
+      registry in 1.4 s; its `npm ci` and rebuild are the gate's own 1.5 s and 1.0 s, so the seconds
+      §9 accepts for rebuilding rather than promoting the gate's `dist` are about 2.5.
+      Three things the writing turned up. The markers print to stderr, so a leg whose value is read —
+      `publish.sh` asking npmjs — stays capturable. `leg`'s locals carry its own name because bash
+      scopes them into whatever the leg runs: unprefixed, `name` was swallowed by the leg reading
+      `package.json`. And `leg` returns its command's status the way `with_firefox` already did,
+      because the bare call swallowed a non-zero one wherever `set -e` is suspended, which also gets
+      the elapsed time printed for the leg that failed.

 - [x] **5a — Rename to `@larvit/adf-codec` (`0.1.0`).** Before the first publish, the name being
       the published identity: `package.json` `name` and `repository`, the Gitea repo and its
       remote, the README title, §6's published-as line, the checkout directory.
