Research direction

The issue mentions Cloud Run constraints and GCE VMs but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the performance-scanning agents and their current execution environment, then define the evaluation criteria and document whether GCE addresses host-level perf-counter access and cold-start variance.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

hackbot

Spike to assess whether full-control VMs (GCE) are needed for performance-scanning agents, where Cloud Run's constraints (no host-level perf counters, cold start variance) may be limiting.
