perf: add ingest and search load-test harnesses

scripts/generate_synthetic_pdfs.py builds real PDF/1.4 documents with
a hand-written xref so we can generate tens of thousands of ~2 KB
PDFs locally. Helvetica only covers latin-1, which is fine for a
load generator (throughput, not retrieval relevance); the docstring
calls this out so no one mistakes the output for a quality corpus.

scripts/load_ingest.py drives POST /ingest/folder, then polls a
hypothetical /documents/stats endpoint every poll-interval seconds
to track terminal-state progression. Writes a JSON history report so
results can be diffed between runs.

scripts/locustfile_search.py defines a SearchUser profile mixing
hybrid / lexical / semantic queries against POST /search plus a
health-check sampler. Asserts non-empty results so a "200 with
zero hits" regression surfaces as a failure rather than a green
percentile graph.

RUNBOOK gains a Load testing section with CPU/GPU SLO tables for
both axes (sustained docs/min, search latency p50/p95/p99).

+## Load testing
+
+Two complementary harnesses live under `scripts/`:
+
+### Ingest load
+
+```bash
+# Generate synthetic PDFs (~3 KB each, real PDF/1.4 with embedded text)
+docker compose exec api python scripts/generate_synthetic_pdfs.py \
+  --count 10000 --out /data/input/load
+
+# Trigger ingest, sample status every 10 s, dump JSON history
+docker compose exec api python scripts/load_ingest.py \
+  --path /data/input/load \
+  --api-url http://localhost:8000/api/v1 \
+  --watch-seconds 1800 \
+  --report-file /data/work/load_report.json
+```
+
+Target SLOs at the 70k-document scale (subject to refinement once measured):
+
+| Metric                          | CPU target | GPU target |
+|---------------------------------|-----------:|-----------:|
+| Sustained throughput (docs/min) | > 30       | > 200      |
+| Failure rate                    | < 1 %      | < 0.5 %    |
+| p95 per-document wall time      | < 90 s     | < 25 s     |
+
+### Search load
+
+```bash
+pip install locust  # one-time
+
+locust -f scripts/locustfile_search.py \
+       --host http://localhost:8000 \
+       --headless --users 100 --spawn-rate 10 --run-time 10m \
+       --html load_search.html
+```
+
+Target SLOs for hybrid mode with the reranker enabled:
+
+| Percentile | CPU    | GPU   |
+|------------|-------:|------:|
+| p50        | 600 ms | 120 ms |
+| p95        | 1500 ms | 300 ms |
+| p99        | 3500 ms | 700 ms |
+
+If staging numbers miss the budget, walk the reranker remediation ladder above
+before chasing index sharding.
