#### Durable benchmark orchestrator for Testflinger and Phoronix Test Suite

BenchLease reserves machines through the Testflinger HTTP API, deploys a
detached on-host agent that runs Phoronix Test Suite benchmarks (surviving
disconnects), ingests the results into a relational store, and compares them
across hardware/OS environments.

Two commands ship in this snap:

* benchlease.benchctl -- the control-plane CLI (import suites, declare
  desired runs, reserve machines, run/schedule benchmarks, compare).
* benchlease.web -- a read-only FastAPI + HTMX dashboard over the same
  database (listens on 127.0.0.1:8000 by default).

The snap is strictly confined. `benchctl` reads and writes its database,
artifact tree and SSH keystore relative to the working directory, so run it
from somewhere under your home directory (the `home` interface is connected
automatically). Testflinger credentials come from BenchLease's own YAML
config, from $TESTFLINGER\_CLIENT\_ID / $TESTFLINGER\_SECRET\_KEY, or from the
testflinger-cli *snap*'s config under ~/snap/testflinger-cli/.

See the "Snap" section of the README for the optional interfaces
(ssh-keys, dot-phoronix-test-suite, removable-media) and when to connect them.
