V/Go time: 1.00 = parity, below 1 = V faster. Schema: bench.proto (people with
nested phone messages, packed varint tags). Both harnesses build identical data
(splitmix64, seed 42) and time identically (iterations scaled to ~1s per cell).
Benchmarks ran on a shared CI runner — good for V-vs-Go ratios, noisy for absolute numbers.
