+/**
+ * Throughput microbenchmark for the core {@link TagMap} access paths: insert, raw-value read, and
+ * Entry read, over a representative HTTP-server-ish tag set.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Threading correctness.</b> Runs at {@code @Threads(8)}. All <i>shared</i> state is
+ * immutable ({@link #NAMES}/{@link #VALUES}); every bit of <i>mutable</i> state lives in a
+ * {@code @State(Scope.Thread)} holder so threads never contend on a shared map, index, or reader
+ * flyweight. Earlier TagMap benchmarks shared a cross-thread counter/index, which turned the result
+ * into a contention measurement rather than a TagMap measurement — this layout avoids that. Indices
+ * are plain per-invocation locals.
+ *
+ * <p>Run configuration is baked into annotations rather than relying on {@code -Pjmh.*} flags
+ * (which the {@code me.champeau.jmh} plugin ignores).
