Refresh the benchmark and performance surface across the repo. This updates the benchmark wrappers and helper scripts, regenerates the checked-in benchmark and perf-contract artifacts, and folds in the related roadmap, compatibility, and example notebook changes that belong with this performance-focused pass.
Harden the Python CI and local pre-push flow so the same checks pass reliably in both places. The workflow and pre-push script now use module-safe uv typecheck invocations, the Python test environment installs the optional MCP dependency needed by the MCP server tests, and one-off root benchmark outputs are ignored to keep the repo clean.
Align local tooling with the current project configuration by updating the Ruff pre-commit hook, tightening the API typing and MCP server helpers, and refreshing the lockfile to pick up the audited PyJWT fix while preserving the rest of the staged source changes.
