gateway_attach_bench.py drives the real dispatcher with a session whose agent build is still running and times each attach RPC against prompt.submit as the control — the harness that located the stall and measures it. image-attach-bench.mjs times the renderer-side transforms (file read, base64, RPC frame, embedded-image extraction, render-weight walk) across image sizes. It is what ruled the renderer out: ~26ms total at 3MB.
