/**
 * Benchmark gate for the `t()` hot path: the split-path cache in
 * `getNestedValue` and the `{{` guard in `interpolate`.
 *
 * Audit finding: the locale dicts are nested, so every `t('a.b.c')` call
 * re-split its key into a fresh array and walked the tree, and `interpolate`
 * ran its global-regex `.replace` scan even though the vast majority of UI
 * strings carry no `{{placeholder}}`. A rendered list row calls `t()` ~10×,
 * so a 40-row paint pays ~400 walk+split-allocs + regex scans. The fix
 * caches the resolved value per (dict, key) — dicts are load-once-immutable
 * and the key set is the app's finite static strings — and skips the regex
 * when the string has no `{{`.
 *
 * Gates: byte-identical results vs the pre-fix reference implementations
 * across the real shipped en.json (nested keys, flat keys, underscore
 * fallback, missing keys, placeholder strings — cold AND warm, so a stale or
 * poisoned cache entry fails loudly), and a ≥1.5x speedup on a mixed
 * 20k-call workload.
