-# [XS] Origin pool churn benchmark sweeps cursors
-
-## Goal
-
-`bench_pool_churn` in `rs/moq-net/benches/origin.rs` sweeps the number of
-announce cursors on a prefix, alongside members and paths, so a renewal cost
-that grows with cursors shows up as a slope.
-
-## Plan
-
-PR #5182 made a front's renewal check read each cursor presenting the prefix, and
-a renewal restarts every cursor, so both scale with cursors. Add the axis, and
-include a scoped cursor so the per-cursor scope filter is measured.
-
-Public API: none. Wire: none.
