- Benchmark charset profiles are now length-consistent: all *Short = 40 chars, all *Long = 280 chars, across ASCII, Latin1, CJK BMP, Cyrillic, and Mixed.
- `CharsetSuffixes` was rewritten with new profiles and base-string repetition for compile-time constants.
- Menu/configuration updated for new profiles, selection logic, and improved descriptions.
- Docs updated to reflect new profiles, lengths, and serialization tier impacts.
- `StringSmall` deserialization split into `ReadStringSmallCompact` and `ReadStringSmallFastWire`; all call sites now dispatch by mode, clarifying the hot path.
- SGen codegen and runtime dispatch tables updated for the new decode split.
- Binary marker docs clarified: only Intern/Metadata/Polymorph features are wire-symmetric for reader case omission; RefHandling is not.
- Added `BINARY_STRICT_SGEN.md` planning doc for a SGen-only, attribute-required, AOT-friendly NuGet package.
- Introduce BDN-based runner (AcBinaryVsMemPackBenchmark) mirroring Console's FastestByte scenario; add BdnSummaryAdapter for unified result translation.
- Standardize output: both runners emit .log/.LLM/.output triplets; BDN-native artifacts go under Benchmark/BDN/.
- Simplify CLI: replace granular switches with --serializers; update help and usage.
- Remove legacy benchmark classes; focus on scenario-based approach.
- Rewrite README.md for both AyCode.Benchmark and Console to document dual-runner architecture, output conventions, and dependencies.
- Rotate BINARY_TODO.md; archive closed entries to BINARY_TODO_2026_04.md and BINARY_TODO_2026_05.md.
- Add BINARY_SGEN_OPTIMIZATION.md for SGen per-property emit optimization notes.
- Update comments and docstrings for clarity and maintainability; clarify BenchmarkResult iteration semantics for BDN rows.
Refactor: centralize config/state in Configuration.cs
Moved all benchmark configuration, mutable state, and attribute-flag aggregation from Program.cs to a new Configuration.cs static class. Updated all references in Program.cs and related benchmark classes to use Configuration.<value>. Removed the "profiler" CLI mode and its code. Updated README.md to reflect these changes. This improves maintainability and keeps Program.cs focused on orchestration and UX, with no changes to benchmark logic.
- Add BINARY_FORMAT.md: full AcBinary wire format spec (markers, encoding, options, protocol, interactions)
- Reference BINARY_FORMAT.md from GLOSSARY.md, Binaries/README.md, and Serializers/Binaries/README.md; add new glossary terms
- Clarify and expand config options tables to match new doc
- Add/clarify LLM maintenance rules: always sync .md files with code, auto-fix discrepancies
- Update root README.md: AyCode.Core targets .NET 9, not 10; stress doc/code sync
- Add code reuse and doc sync conventions to copilot-instructions.md and CONVENTIONS.md
- Add docs/ folder and BINARY_FORMAT.md to solution as Solution Items
- Minor clarifications and cross-links in ARCHITECTURE.md and other docs
Added comprehensive README.md documentation to every project and subfolder in the solution. Each README describes the purpose, key files, structure, dependencies, and design patterns for its area. This improves codebase navigability and maintainability, and includes a maintenance note to keep docs in sync with future code changes.
