"""Mem0 SQLCipher encryption overhead measurement (Sandbox I).

Seeds two SQLite databases — one plain, one encrypted — with the same
1000-row corpus, runs the same retrieval workload against each, and
reports the median pct latency overhead.

ENCRYPTION MODES (auto-detected at startup):

1. SQLCIPHER (canonical) — uses sqlcipher3 / pysqlcipher3 with an
Argon2id-derived key. This is what spec row 29 specifically claims
5-15% overhead for. Available in Docker via apt-get +
pip install pysqlcipher3.

2. AES-GCM PROXY (fallback) — pure-Python application-layer AES-256-GCM
per-row encryption via the `cryptography` library. Different mechanism
than SQLCipher (per-row, not per-page) so reports a STRICT UPPER BOUND
on the overhead claim. If proxy <= confirm threshold, SQLCipher will
definitely confirm. If proxy > refute threshold, the result is
INCONCLUSIVE for SQLCipher specifically and needs the canonical run.

The output JSON tags `encryption_mode` so downstream report aggregation
can distinguish canonical from proxy measurements.
