Adds a bench-read-bulk subcommand to every client CLI (.NET, Go, Rust,
Python, Java) and a PowerShell driver that runs all five concurrently
against the deployed gateway and prints a side-by-side comparison.
Each CLI''s bench:
- Opens its own session, registers, subscribes to bulk-size tags so the
worker''s MxAccessValueCache populates from real OnDataChange events.
- Runs a warmup-seconds-long pre-loop with identical calls so JIT /
connection-pool / first-call overhead is amortised before the
measurement window.
- Runs ReadBulk in a tight in-process loop for duration-seconds with
per-call high-resolution latency capture (Stopwatch in .NET,
time.Now in Go, std::time::Instant in Rust, time.perf_counter in
Python, System.nanoTime in Java).
- Unsubscribes + closes the session, then emits one JSON object with
the shared schema: { language, durationMs, totalCalls, successfulCalls,
failedCalls, totalReadResults, cachedReadResults, callsPerSecond,
latencyMs: { p50, p95, p99, max, mean } }.
The PS driver (scripts/bench-read-bulk.ps1) launches one detached process
per client, waits for all to finish, parses the trailing JSON object from
each stdout, prints a comparison table, and persists the combined report
under artifacts/bench/. Quoting around Java''s `gradle --args="..."` is
handled by writing a one-shot .bat that cmd.exe runs; the .NET CLI''s
per-call gRPC timeout is auto-scaled to (Duration + Warmup + 30s) so the
channel-wide timeout doesn''t cancel the bench mid-loop.
Live 30-second steady-state run against the deployed gateway, all five
clients hitting the same six TestMachine_001..006.TestChangingInt tags:

143,550 ReadBulk results across all five clients during the 30s window;
100% were was_cached = true (the worker''s cache fast-path never fell
through to the snapshot lifecycle). Aggregate read throughput ~800
calls/sec against five concurrent sessions sharing the same cached tags.
A second variant with bulk-size 20 sustained the same per-client call
rate while delivering 3.3x more values per call (~37,000 cached reads/sec
aggregate across the five concurrent sessions), confirming the linear
per-tag cache lookup inside one call is not a bottleneck at this scale.
