fix(bench): add bench-store CLI subcommand and fill ADR with real vscode measurement

The prior apply batch archived the phase-3 store evaluation claiming a
bench-store CLI existed, but it did not. R2 (vscode corpus) and R3
(≤6min SLO) were therefore never verifiable from the CLI. This commit
remediates that gap.

Added: src/cli/bench_store.rs — clap subcommand that wires
run_store_benchmark to the CLI. Flags: --corpus, --corpus-config,
--backend (sqlite-vec | lancedb, feature-gated), --slo-secs,
--output (toml | json), --mock-embedder, --query-sample. Reuses the
shared build_corpus() from benchmark.rs (now pub) — no corpus-parsing
duplication. SLO violation exits with code 75 (EXIT_SLO_VIOLATION) so
CI can detect regressions without parsing the JSON payload.

Bench harness change (src/bench/store_bench.rs): query_sample_size is
now a parameter on run_store_benchmark. Pass 0 to skip the query phase
entirely. Required because the O(N) brute-force sqlite-vec KNN takes
>20 min for 100 queries against 14K vscode vectors — the SLO is on
indexing_secs, not on query wall-clock.

Real vscode measurement (2026-06-21, default release, sqlite-vec, mock
embedder for store isolation):
  - indexing_secs: 3.15 (SLO ≤360 → PASS)
  - files_indexed:  2138
  - chunks_created: 14863
  - peak_rss_bytes: 213 MB
  - disk_size_bytes: 60 MB
  - query latency:  O(N) brute-force — 1.55s p50/p95 on 1,668-vector
    subset; full vscode extrapolation ~14s/query. Documented in ADR as
    a real follow-up (not a re-evaluation trigger).
  - LanceDB column: NOT MEASURED — LanceStore is an in-memory shim
    (pilar 2 reproducibility; no shim numbers published as LanceDB).

Tests: 739 passing (up from 722). 17 new tests in src/cli/bench_store.rs
cover arg parsing, backend round-trip, output format validation, and
SLO exit-code constants. Two new tests in store_bench.rs cover the
query_sample_size parameter. CI gates green: cargo test, cargo clippy
-D warnings, cargo fmt --check.

ADR 0001 updated with real numbers, LanceDB-honesty note, query-latency
follow-up section, and refreshed verification block.

No push (per task constraint).

+\* **Query latency note**: 100 queries × O(N) brute-force KNN against 14,863
+vectors takes >20 min on this machine, so the bench harness was run with
+`--query-sample 0` (SLO-only) for the headline number above. A 1,668-vector
+subset (150 files) measured **1.55s per query** (p50=p95) — a linear
+extrapolation to 14,863 vectors gives ~14s/query × 100 = ~23 min for a full

+#### LanceDB honesty
+
+The `LanceStore` impl in [src/store/lancedb.rs](../../src/store/lancedb.rs)
+is an **in-memory shim** — it satisfies the `Store` trait contract but does
+not use the real `lancedb` crate. Running `--backend lancedb` would
+exercise the shim and produce numbers that DO NOT represent real LanceDB
+performance (the shim is in-memory and faster than real LanceDB on small
+data, slower on disk-bound workloads). We refuse to publish shim numbers as
+LanceDB numbers (pilar 2 — reproducibility). The LanceDB column is therefore
+"Not measured" until the real `lancedb::connect()` + `FixedSizeList<Float32>`
+schema wiring is in place. The "Stay" verdict is robust to that: the
+*structural* reasons (dep tree, async cascade, no native graph) hold
+independent of the unmeasured columns.
+
+#### Verdict = Stay
+
+The verdict stays at **Stay** because:
+
+1. The SLO is PASS (3.15s ≪ 360s on the vscode corpus).
+2. The structural reasons against migrating to LanceDB (dep tree, async
+   cascade, no native graph) are independent of any measured numbers.
+3. We have no real LanceDB numbers to overturn the structural argument.
+   Re-evaluation is conditioned on real LanceDB wiring (see below).

+## Follow-up — Query Latency (SLO passes, but query axis is a real defect)
+
+**Status**: Identified during remediation pass (2026-06-21). NOT a blocker
+for this ADR (the spec's hard SLO is on `indexing_secs` and that passed at
+3.15s), but a real engineering issue for interactive search at the vscode
+corpus scale.
+
+**Symptom**: 100 queries × O(N) brute-force KNN against 14,863 vectors would
+take ~23 minutes — the bench harness had to add a `--query-sample 0` mode
+to make SLO measurements tractable. Measured 1,668-vector subset: 1.55s
+p50/p95. Extrapolated 14,863 vectors: ~14s p50/p95. A user running
+`vectorcode search` interactively against a 15K-file index would wait 14s
+per query, which is unacceptable.
+
+**Root cause hypothesis**: `sqlite-vec` performs brute-force KNN over the
+full vector table. There is no native ANN index. The 384-dim inner-product
+loop is the hot path. LanceDB's IVF_PQ or sqlite-vec's hypothetical ANN
+mode would reduce this to milliseconds.
+
+**Possible mitigations** (not implemented in this pass — focused scope):
+1. sqlite-vec `vector_quantization` mode (if/when available in the bundled
+   0.1.6 build — needs research).
+2. Switch the runtime to a brute-force-capable store for very large corpora
+   (LanceDB with real wiring, or a dedicated ANN dep).
+3. Pre-filter by file path / language to reduce the search set per query
+   (orthogonal improvement).
+4. Cache the query embedding + result set in the MCP server (per-session
+   dedup).
+
+**Tracking**: This is a follow-up issue for the next phase, not a
+re-evaluation trigger for this ADR. The SLO itself passed. Re-evaluate this
+ADR's "Stay" verdict only when one of the `Re-evaluation Conditions`
+below becomes true.
