 Replace `net10.0` with `net8.0` or `net9.0` for runtime comparisons. Benchmark
 artifacts are written beneath `BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts` and are not committed.
 
+The [benchmark workflow](https://github.com/RejectKid/OpenDisNet/actions/workflows/benchmarks.yml)
+runs a fast BenchmarkDotNet `Dry` smoke test across .NET 8, 9, and 10 for
+relevant pull requests. Dry-mode timings only validate the harness; they are not
+performance measurements. Full cross-runtime measurements run after relevant
+changes land on `main`, every Monday, and on manual dispatch. The workflow adds
+the Markdown table to its job summary and retains the HTML, Markdown, CSV, and
+JSON results as downloadable artifacts for 30 days.
+
+GitHub-hosted runners are appropriate for comparing runtimes within one run.
+Use controlled, dedicated hardware before treating results from different runs
+as a strict performance regression gate.
