Task · SKT-0199

Stop a rule-only parent inflating when it calls several slowed children in sequence

Description

Found by the SKT-0168.09.36 lane: the live-assistant case slows x4.38 because a rule-only legacy parent lays its children out in sequence, so each child’s slowdown adds to the parent; it is not a held pool. Evidence: /Users/rob/repos/synthkit/codex/loop58/dbl/return.md.

Acceptance Criteria

Definition of Done

Implementation Notes

Closed by SKT-0200: the x4.38 came from healthy requests using the legacy layout while faulted ones used the engine timeline. On 3c0f4ea6 live-assistant slows x2.13 and its added time (1260 ms) equals the store’s (1262 ms). Evidence: /Users/rob/repos/synthkit/codex/loop58/seqc/return.md
