Quantify the latency the mirror load-balancing strategy adds versus a single-URL remote, and lock it in as a regression guard. - selection_bench_test.go: isolates baseURLAttemptOrder / beginAttempt / endAttempt against a zero-value Engine (no network/DB/redis), covering single-URL, round_robin (3/8), least_conn (3/8) and the gauge inc/dec pair, plus RunParallel variants to surface sync.Map/atomic contention. - BENCHMARKS.md: median-of-6 results on a Ryzen 7 4700U with the raw runs and the cache-miss-only caveat. Headline (median of 6, ns/op): single-URL ~133; round_robin ~462 (3) / ~682 (8); least_conn ~2690 (3) / ~15200 (8). Selection runs only on cache-miss, so cache hits pay zero.
