+A dataset of recorded multi-turn sessions, such as agent traces, must be
+replayed by a tool that preserves each session's turn order and timing, since
+they determine what the serving engine can reuse between requests. Sending the
+dataset's requests independently does not benchmark that dataset. Such a
+replay runs for a fixed duration rather than a number of requests. Use the same
+replay options in every trial benchmark; the trial benchmarks may use a shorter
+duration than the final benchmark, but all trials use the same one. A replay
+may let a share of requests fail, up to the tool's failure threshold; keep the
+tool's threshold and record the failed requests.
