 ## Overview
 
-`cortex-rs` is the canonical memory engine powering Atlas and the AIEN sovereign agent stack. Written entirely in native Rust (Axum), it replaces heavy interpreted memory servers with sub-millisecond lexical and semantic retrieval.

 - **Hardware Vault Security**: Zero plaintext secrets. All authentication uses bearer token validation bound to loopback interfaces (`127.0.0.1`).

-## Quick Start
+## Turnkey Reproduction & Benchmarks
 
-### Build & Run
+Run the engine and observe live latency and throughput metrics directly with a single command.
+
+### 1. One-Line Docker Benchmark
+
+Execute the compiled native benchmark inside a container to evaluate SQLite WAL ingestion, FTS5 lexical retrieval, and graph claim traversal:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm ghcr.io/aien-dev/cortex-rs:latest --bench
+```
+
+Or build and run locally with Docker:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t cortex-rs https://github.com/aien-dev/cortex-rs.git
+docker run --rm cortex-rs --bench
+```
+
+Verified benchmark output on Grace Blackwell GB10:

+
+To run natively on Linux or macOS without Docker:
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository and execute the automated verification runner
+git clone https://github.com/aien-dev/cortex-rs.git
+cd cortex-rs
+./scripts/reproduce.sh
+```
+
+Or run the built-in benchmark directly with Cargo:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --release -- --bench --bench-records 1000
