Subject: [PATCH] docs(runbook): add Linux host benchmark baseline (B7 result)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

4-iteration run on Linux Mint host, WinBuild2025/BaseClean.
Clone/Start/Ready/Destroy within ±20% of Windows baseline.
IP-acquire avg 99.7 s vs 58.2 s Windows — high variance (39–177 s),
attributed to VMware Tools reporting latency, not orchestrator regression.

+## 7. Linux host post-migration baseline (B7 result)
+
+Recorded 2026-05-24 — `Measure-CIBenchmark.ps1 × 4 iterations`, Linux Mint
+host + VMware Workstation Pro Linux, template `WinBuild2025` / snapshot
+`BaseClean`. Ready column = WinRM/5986 TCP probe.

+**Key finding**: Clone/Start/Ready/Destroy within ±20%. IP-acquire dominates
+and is highly variable on Linux host (σ ≈ 57 s, range 39–177 s) — wider than
+Windows (σ ≈ 26 s). This is VMware Tools DHCP/guestinfo reporting latency,
+not a regression in orchestrator logic. With 4 samples the avg is not stable;
+additional runs may close the gap. No non-IP phase regressed.
