russell@unturf.com 3348e9b4bd bench-gc-http + asm-gc rows in existing benches; §6.6.4 HTTP validation
New infra:
  - examples/http-server-noarena.lsp: same HTTP server minus the
    heap-snapshot/heap-restore arena loop. Isolates whether the GC
    build actually holds memory under real traffic, independent
    of the portable snapshot pattern.
  - tests/bench-gc-http.sh: drives 5,000 concurrent requests per
    cell across the full 2x2 matrix {no-GC, GC} x {snapshot, no}.
  - Makefile: new `bench-gc-http` target.

Extended benches to exercise both asm binaries:
  - tests/bench-hashset.sh now runs against both asm/uncommonlisp
    and asm/uncommonlisp-gc, with set +e so a GC-build crash on
    one workload doesn't abort the other.
  - tests/web-benchmark.sh adds a dedicated asm-gc row (and prints
    its stripped binary size) so the HTTP throughput comparison
    reports both.

Whitepaper updates:
  - §6.6.4 "Validation: HTTP Server Under Sustained Load" — the
    4-cell memory matrix. 3/4 cells green; cell 4 (GC + no
    snapshot) crashes at first GC trigger — another instance of
    the conservative-scan type-confusion class we already fixed
    once at the env/string boundary. Logged as a known issue
    rather than shipping a partial fix under time pressure.
    heap-snapshot + heap-restore remains the recommended pattern
    for production asm code; the naive GC is diagnostic + control
    group, not a replacement for the arena discipline.
  - §6.5 hash-set speedup table slightly softened to ~15-20x (was
    15-21x) since run-to-run noise on a shared laptop shifts the
    per-phase ratio by a few percent. Ratio is stable to first
    order.
  - §8.6 narrative references the ~1280x symbolic-vs-brute-force
    figure instead of the stale 40x.
  - §6 reproducibility list now lists `make bench-gc-http`.

All 137 asm no-GC + 137 asm GC + 189 shared functional tests
still pass.
