+# Internal-only feature for exposing crate-private kernels to the
+# benchmark harness in `benches/codec.rs`. The `__` prefix signals
+# instability — no semver guarantees; contents may change or disappear
+# between versions. Every `[[bench]]` block that needs a kernel entry
+# point lists this under `required-features`, so `cargo bench`
+# automatically enables it without touching normal builds.
