Scaling Trail from 200 to 100,000 Neurons: An Engineering Note

A compile-time knowledge engine has three workloads that fight for compute — ingest, lint, and the curation queue. Each one breaks at a different corpus size, for different reasons, and requires a different fix. This is the long-form companion to Work That Fits in a Night: the full accounting of where Trail's bottlenecks are, when they hit, and what a deployment looks like at 200, 8,000, 25,000, and 100,000 Neurons.
