Method and limits

Single-client production HTTPS latency, including network and authorization. A small two-pattern Datalog point selection; not a throughput, large-graph, controlled cold-cache, or competitor ranking claim.

Every measured query returned the inserted marker. All 300 measured requests succeeded.

First observed write: 1806.39 ms. First query read-back: 1009.52 ms. Neither is a controlled cold-cache measurement.

The client ran Node 26.7.0. Edge location was NRT; client geography and negotiated HTTP version were not independently measured. Percentiles use nearest-rank. Connection reuse was enabled; caches were not forcibly cleared.
