/**
 * Dashboard stress benchmark.
 *
 * Measures container memory for a *populated* Homarr rather than an empty one:
 * boots a fresh container, restores a real backup through the onboarding
 * restore UI (the same flow a user takes, including the "I understand"
 * confirmation), signs in, opens the busiest board, then hammers navigation and
 * soaks idle while sampling cgroup memory.
 *
 * The backup is supplied by path and never copied into the repo — it contains
 * real integration secrets.
 *
 * Usage:
 *   STRESS_IMAGE=homarr-bench:baseline \
 *   STRESS_BACKUP_ZIP=~/Downloads/homarr-backup.zip \
 *   node --experimental-strip-types scripts/benchmarks/stress-restore.mts
