Add basic Gitea Actions CI workflow

Run pre-commit checks and build/test the project on clang and gcc for
both amd64 and arm64. weaseljson is built and installed locally because
weaseldb depends on it via find_package.

 ## 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.
