# Goal-1-Task-5 Work Log

## Task Summary
- Verify and document performance benchmark suite in `tests/performance/benchmarks.py`
- Ensure benchmarks cover all critical performance metrics
- Follow existing project testing patterns
- Document benchmark methodology

## Initial Assessment
- Benchmarks already exist for:
  - Dispatcher performance (dispatch time, memory usage)
  - RBAC evaluation performance
  - SQLite operations (insert, query)
- File follows project's unittest patterns
- Includes architectural guardians for performance metrics
- Has comprehensive methodology documentation

## Verification Steps
1. Confirmed benchmarks.py exists in correct location
2. Verified benchmarks cover critical components:
   - Dispatcher: dispatch time, memory footprint
   - RBAC: permission evaluation
   - Storage: SQLite operations
3. Checked adherence to project testing patterns:
   - Uses unittest framework
   - Follows Arrange-Act-Assert pattern
   - Includes docstrings
4. Validated methodology documentation:
   - Clear performance guardians
   - Detailed benchmark descriptions
   - Multiple test scales (1000, 5000 operations)

## Completion
Task requirements fully met by existing implementation. No modifications needed.
