 Fixed two bugs that caused near-zero tok/sec and latency=9999 in the concurrent benchmark.
 
 ### Bug 1 — Queue contamination (tok/sec ≈ 0.04–0.08)
+
 **Root cause:** Benchmark was firing all 21 requests (3 models × 7 prompts) at once via
 async uri. With `OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=2`, only 2 slots run at a time; the other 19 queue.
 `eval_duration` includes queue-wait time → tok/sec measured as ~0.18 instead of ~22.

 Key structural changes:

 - No more `_bench_node1_jobs` / `_bench_node0_jobs` intermediate registers
 - No more `async_status` collect tasks
 - Accumulate tasks now use `item.item` (top-level in sync uri) instead of

 - `timeout` reverted from `benchmark_large_timeout × 15` to plain `benchmark_large_timeout`
 
 ### Bug 2 — latency_ms = 9999 (latency_ns = 0)
+
 **Root cause:** Load phase warm-up "Hi" populates KV cache. Benchmark "Hi" hits cache →
 `prompt_eval_duration ≈ 0` and `eval_duration ≈ 0` → sum = 0 → latency_ms = 9999.

 ## State of the Branch
+
 Both fixes are committed as `d9a991f`. Nothing is pending.
 
 ## Expected Results After Fix
+
 - `avg_tok_per_sec` ≈ 5–25 (was 0.04–0.08)
 - `latency_ms` ≈ 300–6000 ms (was 9999)
 - Composite scores ≈ 0.50–0.85 (was ≈ 0.45 flat)
 
 ## Next Steps
