docs(benchmarks): reproducible v1.0.0 -> v1.1.0 correctness A/B suite

- benchmarks/correctness_suite.py: 21 deterministic headless (ezdxf) checks
  across core ops, dimensions, arrays, geometry, query/parity, render, the
  quality gate, and engineering.
- benchmarks/compare_versions.py: one-command A/B runner — checks out an older
  ref into a throwaway worktree and runs the same suite against both, each check
  in its own subprocess so a crash is a miss, not a run-killer.
- benchmarks/README.md: methodology, results table, honesty caveats.
- README: Benchmarks section now reports the measured result —
  v1.0.0 8/21 (38.1%) -> v1.1.0 21/21 (100%); 13 fixed, 0 regressions.

+### Correctness — v1.1.0 vs v1.0.0
+
+A reproducible A/B suite ([`benchmarks/`](benchmarks/)) runs the **same** 21
+deterministic, headless (ezdxf) checks against the public v1.0.0 release
+(`origin/main`) and v1.1.0 — each check in its own subprocess, so a hard crash is
+recorded as a miss instead of taking down the run.
+
+| Version | Checks passing | Pass rate |
+|---------|----------------|-----------|
+| **v1.0.0** (public release) | 8 / 21 | **38.1 %** |
+| **v1.1.0** (this release)   | 21 / 21 | **100 %** |
+
+**13 defects fixed · 0 regressions · 2.6× higher correctness pass-rate (+61.9 pts).**
+Fixes span dimensions (aligned/angular no longer raise), full-circle arrays, deterministic
+geometry (`point_intersection`/`point_tangent`), ARC selection, property parity, MTEXT
+rotation, the headless screenshot crash, the now-live `dim_overlap` critique, ISO-13567
+layer routing, and gear-outline geometry. Six core operations pass on **both** versions, so
+the suite is not a cherry-picked failure list — see [`benchmarks/README.md`](benchmarks/README.md)
+for the full table, methodology, and honesty caveats.
+
+```bash
+python benchmarks/compare_versions.py        # reproduce: current tree vs origin/main

+# Benchmarks
+
+## Correctness A/B suite
+
+`correctness_suite.py` is a set of deterministic, headless (ezdxf-backend) checks
+that exercise real drawing operations. `compare_versions.py` runs the **same**
+suite against an older git ref and the current checkout, each check in its own
+subprocess so a hard crash (e.g. a matplotlib-in-thread `SIGSEGV`) is recorded as
+a miss rather than taking down the run.
+
+Reproduce:
+
+```bash
+python benchmarks/compare_versions.py            # current tree vs origin/main
+python benchmarks/compare_versions.py v1.0.0     # vs a tag/ref
+python benchmarks/compare_versions.py --json results.json
+```
+
+### Result — v1.1.0 vs v1.0.0 (`origin/main`, commit 15fa2bc)
+
+21 checks, ezdxf backend, CPython 3.14, one subprocess per check.
+
+| Version | Checks passing | Pass rate |
+|---------|----------------|-----------|
+| **v1.0.0** (public release) | 8 / 21 | **38.1 %** |
+| **v1.1.0** (this release)   | 21 / 21 | **100 %** |
+
+**13 defects fixed, 0 regressions** — a 2.6× higher correctness pass-rate (+61.9 pts).
+
+Fixed (failed on v1.0.0, pass on v1.1.0):
+
+| Check | Category | What it proves |
+|-------|----------|----------------|
+| `dim_aligned_no_error` | Dimensions | aligned dim no longer raises `TypeError` |
+| `dim_angular_no_error` | Dimensions | angular dim no longer raises `TypeError` |
+| `array_polar_360_distinct` | Modify | full-circle array no longer duplicates the original |
+| `point_intersection_line_line` | Geometry | deterministic line/line intersection exists & is correct |
+| `point_tangent_external` | Geometry | external-point tangent is perpendicular & on-circle |
+| `arc_has_length` | Query | ARC carries a `length` property |
+| `arc_select_by_length` | Query | `entity_select_smart` length_range selects arcs |
+| `ezdxf_bounding_box` | Query | `bounding_box` populated (COM/ezdxf parity) |
+| `mtext_rotation_roundtrip` | Entities | MTEXT honors caller rotation |
+| `screenshot_png` | Render | headless render returns a valid PNG (no GUI-thread crash) |
+| `dim_overlap_critique_fires` | Quality gate | `dim_overlap` critique is live (was a no-op) |
+| `iso13567_dim_layer` | Quality gate | `dimension_auto` lands dims on the active set's layer |
+| `gear_no_self_overlap` | Engineering | gear outline never dips inside the root circle (z ≥ 42) |
+
+Passing on **both** versions (6 core ops + 2 others) keep the suite honest — it is
+not a cherry-picked list of failures; the baseline genuinely does basic CAD work.
+
+### Caveats / honesty notes
+
+- The baseline is `origin/main` (the public v1.0.0). All four audited fix sprints
+  land between it and v1.1.0 — see `docs/analysis/`.
+- `screenshot_png` on the baseline is host-dependent: it is recorded as a miss
+  here because the default matplotlib backend is a GUI backend and the render runs
+  off the main thread. On a host where matplotlib defaults to `Agg`, the baseline
+  may not crash. v1.1.0 forces `Agg` and is deterministic.
+- `center_linetype_applied` passes on both because it only checks the linetype
+  **attribute** string (set on both); the v1.0.0 "renders as Continuous because the
+  linetype was never loaded" defect is not observable through `EntityInfo`.
+- COM-backend behaviour is not covered here (no live AutoCAD); see the mocked-COM
+  suites in `tests/`.
+
+## Performance (throughput) — coming
+
+Scale / throughput numbers (1k–100k entities, render timings, model-by-model
+tool-call success rate) are tracked in the main README and will be published here
+with a hardware footprint.
