//
// This is the counterpart to a heap snapshot and answers the opposite question. A snapshot is
// taken after a forced GC, so it shows only what *survived*; the churn that produces a memory
// peak is by definition gone by then. The sampling heap profiler records an allocation stack
// every N bytes regardless of survival, so a peak driven by transient garbage — which is what
// this container's peak turned out to be — shows up here and nowhere else.
//
// Sampling totals are cumulative since boot, so a single stage is only meaningful as the
// difference between two captures. Without stage arguments this reports the cumulative
// profile, which is dominated by boot-time module loading.
