Add Marko - #109
Conversation
frameworks/marko/: one standalone Marko 6 (tags API) app per bench,
built with @marko/vite (linked: false) and mounted client-side via the
template .mount() API. Registered in results/app/frameworks.ts (logo
from markojs.com, the magenta chevron stripe as the chart color) and in
the playwright suite's FRAMEWORKS.
Marko-specific shapes, documented in frameworks/marko/README.md:
- reactivity is per-assignment (no deep proxies), so dbmon reassigns
its Map and chat list, and ten-k gives every item its own <let> in a
child tag whose setter the app registers by index
- root-level text needs the `--` prefix (a bare ${...} line parses as a
dynamic tag name in concise mode)
- an attribute method shorthand closing over a <for> loop variable
compiles to a hoisted function that loses the loop scope; a static
function taking the index avoids it

Done in 14c5e92: notes.json gains { "skip": { "<bench app>": "why" } } — the runner logs the reason and continues instead of aborting, and the reason is recorded into the result file with the rest of the notes. marko declares incrementing-render-effect skipped. Verified end to end: pnpm bench --framework=marko --bench="Incrementing Render Effect" completes with the warning and writes notes.marko.skip.

oof, ya changing the anti-cheating coverage is not allowed. we can make adjustments in a separate PR to the conformance stuff tho

Moved out of this PR → #110. This branch no longer touches the conformance suite or common — the anti-cheat specs here are exactly what's on main.
#110 keeps the coverage rather than skipping: yield=frame delivers one write per frame (the pacing you suggested), and all trace assertions apply to marko unchanged. Merge order: #110 first, then this PR's conformance CI step goes green (until then it fails for marko, since a frame-floored scheduler coalesces task-paced writes).

Potential issue with marko performance: |
Review feedback: the runner hard-codes each bench's workload
(incrementing-render-effect at 100k updates) and aborts the whole run
when a sample never reaches :done inside --timeout -- so a framework
that architecturally cannot finish a bench (marko advances one update
per animation frame there: hours of frames) made every default
`--framework=all` run abort.
notes.json gains an optional skip map, `{ "skip": { "<bench app>":
"why" } }`: the runner logs the reason and moves on instead of dying,
and since notes.json is already recorded into the result file, the
reason travels with the run. marko declares
incrementing-render-effect skipped.
Verified end to end: `pnpm bench --framework=marko
--bench="Incrementing Render Effect"` completes, warns with the
reason, and writes it under notes.marko.skip in the result file.

@NullVoxPopuli-ai-agent does marko really not have a way to have multiple effects triggered within one frame?

Adds Marko (v6, the tags API — compiled fine-grained reactivity, so it qualifies) as a benched framework.
