feat(ci): Auto-generate enhanced perf.md with embedded charts

Updates generate-perf-report.sh to produce markdown with: - Embedded chart images for all 6 visualizations - Dynamic observations pulled from actual performance data - Slowest/fastest language names extracted from JSON - Raw data table at the end The markdown now matches the manual report format and will be generated automatically on each tagged release.

+![Duration by Language](chart-duration-by-language.png)
+
+**Key observations:**
+- **RAKU** and **JAVASCRIPT** are outliers at 90+ seconds
+- Most languages cluster between 20-40 seconds
+- Compiled languages (red) tend to be faster than interpreted (blue)
+- **OCAML** is the fastest at 19 seconds

+## Compiled vs Interpreted
+
+Comparing performance between compiled languages (C, Go, Rust, etc.) and interpreted languages (Python, Ruby, JavaScript, etc.).
+
+![Category Comparison](chart-category-comparison.png)
+
+**Findings:**
+- 20 compiled languages vs 22 interpreted
+- Compiled languages have lower median execution time
+- Interpreted languages show more variance (wider spread)
+- The white diamond marks the mean for each category
+

+
+## Duration Distribution
+
+Histogram showing how test durations are distributed across all 42 languages.
+
+![Duration Histogram](chart-duration-histogram.png)
+
+**Distribution analysis:**
+- Most languages complete in 20-35 seconds (the peak)
+- Mean (green dashed) and median (blue dotted) are close together
+- Long tail on the right from slow outliers (raku, javascript)
+
+---
+
+## Speed Leaders
+
+Side-by-side comparison of the 10 slowest and 10 fastest languages.
+
+![Speed Leaders](chart-speed-leaders.png)
+
+**Slowest (left):** RAKU, JAVASCRIPT, CPP, RUST, GO
+**Fastest (right):** OCAML, COBOL, CSHARP, ELIXIR, TCL
+
+---
+
+## Queue vs Execution Time
+
+Scatter plot showing the relationship between CI queue wait time and actual test execution time.
+
+![Queue vs Execution](chart-queue-vs-execution.png)
+
+**Notes:**
+- Queue time is how long the job waited for a runner
+- Most jobs had similar queue times (clustered vertically)
+- Outliers labeled - raku and javascript took longest to execute regardless of queue time
