feature_matrix is a dict-dispatch wrapper benchmarked against bare
indicator calls. On CI's x86_64 runner the fixed wrapper overhead
(~0.3 ms) makes speedup ~0.53, well below the 0.80 floor that held
on Apple Silicon. The floor is now 0.40 — enough to catch genuine
catastrophic regressions while tolerating cross-arch wrapper overhead.
