+/**
+ * End-to-end per-frame benchmark for [[termflow.apps.stress.SineWaveApp]]:
+ * each `@Benchmark` invocation simulates one animation tick the way the
+ * runtime would — advance the wave phase, rebuild the `RootNode` via
+ * `App.view`, `buildFrame` it, then `diff` against the previous frame.
+ *
+ * The terminal size is a `@Param` axis so the sweep covers small and large
+ * grids. The starting [[SineWaveApp.Model]] carries `Sub` fields and so cannot
+ * be hand-constructed; it is obtained from a real `App.init` via
+ * [[TuiTestDriver]] in [[setup]].
+ *
+ * Thread safety is self-enforcing: the mutable per-invocation state (current
+ * model + previous frame) lives in a `@State(Scope.Thread)` object and the
+ * class is `@Threads(1)`, so each worker thread owns its own copy regardless
+ * of any CLI flag.
