Finishes quest/m1/bench-apple-m4.md: BENCHMARKS.md now has quiet desktop (Arrow Lake) and kixtop (Apple M4) columns at 9e7f6a5a, with kixtop's build-cost table and rind (DIT held) column, and every gap is triaged.

Runs

Collected with admin/bench-report collect --host <host>, which holds each host with quest gate --host itself, in the 5 am Pacific window.

Host	Started (UTC)	Other CPUs busy during run (limit)	Build cost	Imported
kixtop, run 1	2026-11-07 13:01	0.61 (1.0)	refused: 5.2 of 10 CPUs busy (another session's rustc build)	no, superseded by run 2
desktop	2026-11-07 13:37	1.29 (2.4)	ok	yes
kixtop, run 2	2026-11-07 14:13	0.43 (1.0)	ok	yes

Desktop's host hold waited about a minute behind another session's gated just commands, then was admitted.

Gaps

• desktop: rustls-bulk/aes128-gcm (now 0.99× ring's) and xchacha20poly1305/1350B (0.98× aws-lc-rs's) are gone, as the noise reason predicted. Their entry is dropped. desktop has no gap over 10%.
• kixtop, xchacha20poly1305/32B: gone, 1.03× aws-lc-rs's in the imported run. Its noise entry is dropped. Run 1 measured 1.26× again, but every library's time there is about 0.9 to 1.1 µs, mostly the OS RNG drawing the nonce that each row pays, and RustCrypto, libcrux, and graviola trailed aws-lc-rs by the same margin.
• kixtop, DIT: the same 18 operations stay, kept as a recorded reason. aes128-gcm-open/1350B left the list (rind is 1.100× aws-lc-rs's, not over). The reason now cites this run's rind (DIT held) times in place of the noisy ec4b720d ones: every held row is within 10% of the fastest library except HMAC-SHA-256 at 64 B, at 1.10× RustCrypto's (109.7 ns against 99.4 ns, corrected after CodeRabbit's finding). The per-call DIT cost, rind's time less its held time, is 30 to 55 ns on single-call operations, so the reason says 30 rather than 35.

Unchanged entries for nixos, ovh-iad, ovh-sea, and the CPU tiers stay as they are, since those hosts were not re-collected.

Regressions

Comparing each host's rind times with its previous data, one row slowed by more than 10%: desktop HKDF-SHA256 expand, 47 ns at f95b91da to 66 ns now. rind is still the fastest library there (aws-lc-rs 124 ns, RustCrypto 84 ns), and kixtop's HKDF did not move. moq-dev/rind#406 moved an HMAC function out of line in that range, the likely cause. The README's opening still holds against the new data.

Choices made without asking

• Imported kixtop's second run rather than its first, so the report carries a build cost. The brief allowed a second try, and kixtop was quiet (load 1.2) when desktop finished.
• Worked from a separately named local branch pushed by refspec, since the stale local quest/m1/bench-apple-m4 from moq-dev/rind#435, already merged, is checked out in another, idle worktree.

Public API

None. Report data, its SVGs, benchmarks/gaps.toml, and quests only.

Caused by

Nothing: this refreshes measurements, it fixes no bug.

Suggested follow-ups

• HKDF-SHA256 expand on x86_64 slowed from 47 to 66 ns between f95b91da and 9e7f6a5a, likely moq-dev/rind#406's #[inline(never)] HMAC. Recommend: plan it. HKDF expand runs on every QUIC key derivation, and a GitHub bench runner can confirm the cause before any fix.
• admin/build-cost reads the 1-minute load average on macOS, which still counts work that just ended, unlike its 5 s CPU-time sample on Linux. Recommend: drop. Run 1's refusal was real (another session's rustc build was running), and run 2 measured fine.

Validation

• just check: pass.
• admin/bench-report render --check: pass.
• quest check --base origin/main: pass.

Walkthrough

The benchmark report refreshes desktop and kixtop measurements, build-cost data, host metadata, and DIT-held comparison results. It updates benchmark-gap records and removes the desktop noise entry. The M1 quest README and benchmark collection plan no longer include the reporting requirement and collection instructions.

Pre-merge checks: 4

result so it does not claim the measured gap closes: the point estimates show a
10.38% difference from RustCrypto, exceeding 10%. Regenerate the report so the
“rind (DIT held)” column and accompanying discussion reflect that result.
