Stabilize C# allocation regression probes

   Focused authoritative-fresh fold-readiness coverage spans `DatabaseTests`, `IndexCommandRunnerTests`, and `McpServerToolsCallTests`: the built-in empty-database CLI/MCP path must consume its claim once, retain the NULL-column verification, skip the stored-value re-fold scan, and produce the same readiness/version/fingerprint/language stamps and Unicode, Markdown, C#, Nim, and TypeScript query results as full validation. Pair it with fail-closed cases for each initially nonempty ownership table (`files`, `symbols`, or `symbol_references`), a wrong or reused claim, an intervening external commit observed through `PRAGMA data_version`, rebuild/update/legacy/public-writer paths, and custom plugins, patterns, or post-extraction hooks; full validation must still reject NULL and stale non-NULL folds. A run-barrier regression must also activate a custom producer and then reload back to built-in-only before readiness: the current producer count returns to zero, but the monotonic mutation generation changes and forces full validation. Unchanged missing-directory and diagnostic-only publications must not change that generation.
   A deterministic cancel-after-`BEGIN IMMEDIATE` test must prove that the raw transaction is rolled back and the same writer can immediately start and commit another transaction.
   For performance audits, alternate identical repository-scale fresh fixtures, isolate the readiness-finalization interval, and report elapsed time plus `GC.GetAllocatedBytesForCurrentThread`; adoption requires removing row-count-proportional managed allocation without changing rows, stamps, or query results. Keep wall-clock measurements out of blocking CI assertions and remove temporary instrumentation after recording the result.
+  `SymbolExtractorCSharpRegexProbeTests` warms both C# extraction paths, alternates five samples of three extractions per path, and compares their medians with a fixed 64 KiB noise allowance. Keep the structural metric and symbol-parity assertions as the optimization/correctness proof, and keep the deterministic comparison-boundary test that accepts the allowance exactly but rejects one byte beyond it, so full-suite runtime noise cannot mask a material optimized-path allocation increase (#5244).
   `ReferenceExtraction_MaskedMultilinePayloads_StayWithinAllocationBudget` keeps C# raw strings, Java text blocks, and TypeScript template literals from materializing trimmed reference contexts after structural masking has made a line empty.
   `ReferenceExtraction_CallFreePaddedLines_DefersContextMaterialization` covers padded reference-free C#, Python, Erlang, and Solidity files across the core, functional, and dedicated extraction loops; keep its blocking `net8.0` allocation ceiling below 10.5 MB and pair it with `ReferenceExtractorTests.Extract_BuiltInReferencePaths_PreserveTrimmedContextAndPhysicalColumn` so deferred contexts remain trimmed while columns stay physical.
   `CppHeaderDetection_LargeSample_DoesNotMaterializeLineArrays` keeps bounded C / C++ header-disambiguation samples on span-based line walks instead of allocating a string and array for every sampled line.

   authoritative-fresh fold readiness の focused coverage は `DatabaseTests`、`IndexCommandRunnerTests`、`McpServerToolsCallTests` で分担します。built-in の empty-database CLI / MCP 経路が claim を一度だけ consume し、NULL column の検証を維持しつつ、保存 value の再 fold scan を省き、full validation と同じ readiness / version / fingerprint / language stamp、および Unicode、Markdown、C#、Nim、TypeScript の query result を生成することを固定します。初期状態で ownership table（`files`、`symbols`、`symbol_references`）のいずれかが非空の場合、owner が異なるか再利用された claim、`PRAGMA data_version` で観測される外部 commit、rebuild / update / legacy / public-writer 経路、custom plugin / pattern / post-extraction hook は fail closed であることも対にし、full validation が NULL と stale な非 NULL fold を引き続き拒否することを確認します。run barrier では custom producer を一度 active にしてから readiness 前に built-in-only へ reload し、最終 producer count が zero に戻っていても monotonic mutation generation の変化で full validation へ戻ることを固定します。状態不変の missing-directory と diagnostic-only publication では generation が変わらないことも確認します。
   `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`成功直後のdeterministicなcancel testでは、raw transactionがrollbackされ、同じwriterが直後に別transactionを開始・commitできることを必須とします。
   性能監査では、同一の repository-scale fresh fixture を交互に実行し、readiness finalization 区間を分離して、経過時間と `GC.GetAllocatedBytesForCurrentThread` を報告します。row 数に比例する managed allocation を取り除きつつ、row、stamp、query result が変わらないことを採用条件にします。wall-clock 計測は blocking CI assertion にせず、結果を記録したら一時 instrumentation を削除してください。
+  `SymbolExtractorCSharpRegexProbeTests` は C# extraction の両経路を warm-up し、各経路3回の extraction からなる sample を5回交互に測定して、その中央値を固定の64 KiB noise allowance付きで比較します。構造 metric と symbol parity の assertion を最適化および正しさの証拠として維持し、許容量ちょうどは受理する一方で1 byteでも超えれば拒否する決定論的な比較境界 test も維持してください。これにより、full-suite の runtime noise を除外しながら optimized path の重大な allocation 増加は隠しません (#5244)。
   `ReferenceExtraction_MaskedMultilinePayloads_StayWithinAllocationBudget` は、構造マスク後に空行となった C# raw string、Java text block、TypeScript template literal から trim 済み reference context を実体化しないことを固定します。
   `CppHeaderDetection_LargeSample_DoesNotMaterializeLineArrays` は、bounded な C / C++ header 判定 sample を span ベースで行走査し、sampled line ごとの string と array を割り当てないことを固定します。
   `DelimitedSpanWalking_DenseExtractorLists_DoesNotAllocate` は、repository metadata、application manifest、VHDL、CUDA extraction が共有する single-delimiter walker の trim / remove-empty semantics を allocation-free に固定します。
