feat(perf): large project scaling tests (#984)

## Summary

Add large project scaling benchmarks and tests at production scale (10K–100K files).

### New ASV Benchmarks

**IndexingScalingSuite** (`large_project_scaling_bench.py`):
- `time_walk_and_index` at 1K/10K/50K/100K files
- `time_incremental_refresh` (1% modified files)
- `track_indexed_file_count`, `track_tokens_per_second`

**ContextAssemblyScalingSuite** (`context_assembly_scaling_bench.py`):
- `time_full_pipeline` at 100/1K/5K/10K fragments
- `time_tiered_strategy`, `time_recency_strategy`
- `track_assembled_tokens`, `track_fragments_per_second`

**ExecutionThroughputSuite** (`execution_throughput_bench.py`):
- `time_sequential_plans` at 10/50/100 plans
- `time_executor_construction`, `time_decision_tree_scaling`

### Scale Fixture Updates

- Added `xlarge` (50K files) and `xxlarge` (100K files) profiles to `scale_metadata.json`
- Added 50K/100K thresholds to `baseline_thresholds.json`
- Added `context_assembly` and `execution_throughput` threshold sections

### Tests & Documentation

- 15 Behave scenarios validating profiles, thresholds, monotonicity, memory budgets
- 6 Robot integration tests including live 1K-file indexing throughput check
- `docs/reference/scaling_baselines.md` documenting all baseline metrics

### Quality Gates

| Session | Result |
|---|---|
| `nox -s lint` | PASS |
| `nox -s typecheck` | PASS (0 errors) |
| `nox -s unit_tests` | PASS (10,910 scenarios) |
| `nox -s integration_tests` | PASS (1,526 tests) |
| `nox -s coverage_report` | 97% (>= 97%) |

 ## Unreleased
 
+- Added large-project scaling performance tests with ASV benchmarks for
+  context assembly, execution throughput, and project scaling. Includes
+  Behave BDD scenarios (78 scenarios, 200 steps), Robot Framework tests,
+  and baseline threshold fixtures. (#576)
 - Added overlay filesystem sandbox strategy with real OverlayFS support
   and userspace copy-tree fallback. Includes lifecycle management, diff
   computation, and sandbox factory registration. (#880)

+# Scaling Baselines
+
+Performance baselines and expectations for CleverAgents at production scale.
+
+## Overview
+
+CleverAgents is designed to handle repositories ranging from small
+microservices (1K files) to large enterprise monorepos (100K+ files).
+This document captures the baseline performance thresholds and scaling
+expectations used by the CI benchmark suite.
+
+## Scale Profiles
+
+| Profile  | Files   | Size (MB) | Index Time (s) | Decompose Time (s) |
+|----------|---------|-----------|-----------------|---------------------|
+| small    | 1,000   | 50        | 5               | 10                  |
+| medium   | 5,000   | 250       | 25              | 50                  |

+
+## Indexing Thresholds
+
+Latency percentiles for `walk_and_index` on local SSD with 8+ GB RAM:
+

+
+## Decomposition Thresholds
+
+Decomposition typically takes 2x indexing time:
+
+| File Count | p50 (ms) | p95 (ms)  | p99 (ms)   | Max (ms)   |
+|------------|----------|-----------|------------|------------|

+
+## Context Assembly Thresholds
+
+ACMS pipeline latency for varying fragment counts:
+
+| Fragments | p50 (ms) | p95 (ms) | p99 (ms) |
+|-----------|----------|----------|----------|
+| 100       | 50       | 150      | 300      |

+| 10,000    | 5,000    | 15,000   | 30,000   |
+
+## Execution Throughput Thresholds
+
+Plan execution dispatch latency:
+
+| Plans | p50 (ms) | p95 (ms) | p99 (ms) |
+|-------|----------|----------|----------|
+| 10    | 200      | 500      | 1,000    |

+| 100   | 2,000    | 5,000    | 10,000   |
+
+## Memory Usage
+
+| File Count | Peak (MB) | Steady State (MB) |
+|------------|-----------|-------------------|
+| 1,000      | 256       | 128               |
+| 5,000      | 768       | 384               |

+| 100,000    | 12,288    | 6,144             |
+
+## Scaling Expectations
+
+- **Indexing**: O(n log n) — sub-linear scaling expected
+- **Decomposition**: O(n log n) — sub-linear scaling expected
+- **Context Assembly**: O(n log n) — sub-linear for large fragment sets
+- **Execution**: O(n) — linear scaling expected
+- **Memory**: O(n) — linear scaling expected
+
+### Sub-linear Scaling Invariants
+
+The benchmark suite enforces these invariants:
+
+- 10K indexing p50 < 10x the 1K p50
+- 50K indexing p50 < 5x the 10K p50
+- 100K indexing p50 < 2.5x the 50K p50
