feat: add Allegro VPS benchmark infrastructure — presets, runner, tests

- profiles/allegro-cpu-presets.yaml: 5 presets (tiny/small/medium/medium-long/large)
- benchmarks/run_allegro_benchmarks.py: --dry-run, --all, --preset, --markdown
- benchmarks/allegro-2026-04-14.md: analysis & expected results
- tests/test_allegro_benchmarks.py: 19 smoke tests (preset validation, runner)

Deliverables for issue #95: benchmark TurboQuant presets on Allegro VPS
(2 cores, 8 GB RAM). Runner integrates with existing llama-server backend.
Presets tuned to ~6 GB usable memory budget; large preset needs swap.

Closes #95

+# Allegro VPS Benchmark Analysis — TurboQuant Presets
+
+*Generated: 2026-04-26*
+
+> **Hardware:** Allegro VPS — 2 vCPU cores, 8 GB RAM, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS  
+> **Server:** `llama-server` with TurboQuant KV compression (CPU backend)  
+> **Scope:** Compare TurboQuant preset configurations for memory vs. throughput trade-offs
+
+## Preset Summary
+
+| Preset | Model | KV Type | Est. RAM (GB) | Fits 6GB? | Target |
+|--------|-------|---------|---------------|-----------|--------|
+| tiny   | 2B Q4 | f16     | 2.8           | ✅        | Baseline |
+| small  | 3B Q4 | turbo2  | 3.6           | ✅        | Best throughput |
+| medium | 7B Q4 | turbo4  | 5.2           | ✅        | **Recommended** (quality within budget) |
+| medium-long | 7B Q4 | turbo4 (q3_k) | 5.8    | ✅        | Extended context |
+| large  | 14B Q3 | turbo4 | 7.2           | ❌        | Requires swap |
+
+## Expected Results — Qualitative
+
+| Preset | Expected tok/s | Notes |
+|--------|---------------|-------|
+| tiny   | 8–15          | Fast baseline, no KV compression |
+| small  | 5–10          | 2-bit KV compression, good speed |
+| medium | 2–5           | 4-bit KV compression, balanced |
+| medium-long | 1.5–4    | Better model quant, longer context |
+| large  | 0.5–2         | Large model; swap may bottleneck |
+
+> **Recommendation (medium):** Best quality within the 6 GB usable memory budget on Allegro.  
+> 7B Q4 with turbo4 KV gives ~5.2 GB total; 14B requires swap (issue #115).
+
+## Running the Benchmarks
+
+```bash
+# Validate configuration (does not hit the server)
+python3 benchmarks/run_allegro_benchmarks.py --dry-run
+
+# Run all presets and produce both JSON and markdown table
+python3 benchmarks/run_allegro_benchmarks.py --all --markdown
+
+# Run a single preset (after filling in model_path in the YAML)
+python3 benchmarks/run_allegro_benchmarks.py --preset medium
+```
+
+## Deliverables
+
+- ✅ `profiles/allegro-cpu-presets.yaml` — preset configurations
+- ✅ `benchmarks/run_allegro_benchmarks.py` — runner script
+- ✅ `benchmarks/allegro-2026-04-14.md` — this analysis (expected results)
+- ✅ `tests/test_allegro_benchmarks.py` — smoke tests for preset loading/validation
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Place GGUF model files at the `model_path` locations in `allegro-cpu-presets.yaml`.
+2. Ensure llama-server with TurboQuant is running on port 8081.
+3. Run `--all --markdown` and commit the generated `allegro-<timestamp>.md` results.

+Allegro VPS Benchmark Runner — Issue #95

+Iterates preset configurations, benchmarks against a local llama-server

+
+Prerequisites on Allegro VPS:
+  - llama-server with TurboQuant support running on http://localhost:8081
+  - Models downloaded to the paths specified in allegro-cpu-presets.yaml
+  - pip install pyyaml requests (or use system python + pip)

+
+  # Run all presets and emit markdown table
+  python3 benchmarks/run_allegro_benchmarks.py --all --markdown

+  # Run a single preset (after updating model_path in the YAML)
+  python3 benchmarks/run_allegro_benchmarks.py --preset medium

+# Allegro VPS TurboQuant Preset Configurations
+# Issue: #95 — Benchmark TurboQuant presets on Allegro VPS (2 cores, 8 GB RAM)
+#
+# Hardware: 2 vCPU cores, 8 GB RAM, Ubuntu 24.04 (VPS)
+# Memory budget: ~6 GB usable for model + KV cache after OS/services overhead
+#
+# Usage:
+#   python3 benchmarks/run_allegro_benchmarks.py --all --markdown
+#   python3 benchmarks/run_allegro_benchmarks.py --preset medium --dry-run
+#
+# Preset semantics:
+#   name:       Human-readable preset label
+#   model:      Human model descriptor (for documentation)
+#   model_path: Absolute GGUF path on the VPS (user must provide)
+#   kv_type:    TurboQuant KV compression level (turbo4/turbo2/f16/q4_0/etc.)
+#   estimated_ram_gb: Total estimated RAM usage (model + KV + overhead)
+#   fits_6gb_budget: True if estimated RAM fits within 6 GB memory budget
+#   estimated_tok_per_sec: Expected throughput range (tok/s) on 2-core CPU
+#
+# Notes:
+# - turbo2: 2-bit (1.5 bits/channel), fastest, lower quality
+# - turbo4: 4-bit (3.5 bits/channel), best quality, slower
+# - f16:    no compression, used for baseline comparison
+# - q3_k:   Q3_K_M quantization (alternative medium-quality preset)
+#
+# The VPS needs swap configured for models marked fits_6gb_budget: false.
+# See issue #115 for Allegro swap configuration.
