Listen on public interface for test benchmark

Adds `reproduce_threading_report.sh` to run the WeaselDB server and
load tester configuration described in `threading_performance_report.md`.

Improvements over the original draft:
- Validates the build directory, config file, and required binaries
  before starting, and expects to be run from the project root.
- Wraps server shutdown and log printing in an EXIT/INT/TERM trap
  so the server is always cleaned up, even if the script is
  interrupted or the load tester fails.
- Makes the `ulimit -n` increase best-effort instead of fatal.
- Uses the existing `DURATION` variable consistently in the load
  tester invocation.
- Adds a final check that the unix socket was created before
  launching the load tester.
- Uses 2 connect threads on the client, which is sufficient for
  establishing 2000 connections over the 30-second run.

 ## Summary
 
-WeaselDB's /ok health check endpoint achieves 1M requests/second with 740ns of configurable CPU work per request through the 4-stage commit pipeline, while maintaining 0% CPU usage when idle. The configurable CPU work serves both as a health check (validating the full pipeline) and as a benchmarking tool for measuring per-request processing capacity.
+WeaselDB's /ok health check endpoint achieves approximately 825k requests/second with 740ns of configurable CPU work per request through the 4-stage commit pipeline, while maintaining 0% CPU usage when idle. The configurable CPU work serves both as a health check (validating the full pipeline) and as a benchmarking tool for measuring per-request processing capacity.
+
+> **Note on historical numbers**: An earlier version of this report claimed 1.0M requests/second at 740ns serial CPU work. That measurement was made using a design that transferred unique ownership of connections through the pipeline. The current server-owned connection model adds per-request synchronization overhead that lowers the raw /ok throughput, but enables streaming endpoints such as `/v1/subscribe` and safer async response handling.
