Developers comparing PDF renderers can now inspect the outputs and reproduce the measurements. Publish a shared-input comparison of Fullbleed 2.5.6, WeasyPrint 70.0, and Playwright 1.63.0/Chromium, with complete raw evidence and clearly scoped findings.

The report includes all 315 latency samples, separate memory measurements, nine representative PDFs, every retained output, and the initial font/PATH diagnostics. It explicitly reports Chromium's faster warm ledger, WeasyPrint's smaller files, and Chromium's extra ledger page alongside Fullbleed's startup and other warm-latency results. Source is merged in fullbleed-engine/fullbleed-official#37.

Validation: 414 PDF outputs qualified; all 22 representative page images matched the visually inspected qualification images; both archives passed their member hashes; all table statistics were independently recomputed; and all nine representative PDFs passed fresh reader checks on Windows. The page passed local Chrome checks at 1440, 390, and 320 pixels, actual ZIP download hashes, and all nine PDF HTTP responses. Strict docs build and link checks passed using unchanged deployed playground build assets locally; CI rebuilds those assets from source.
