 ## Results
 
-- Runtime path: deterministic whole-string parse, extraction-first for noisy text, LALR fallback only on misses. Earley is not used at runtime.
-- Test suite: `127 passed in 0.22s`
-- Tight loop: `19.52 us/input` at `10000` rounds
-- Internal path benchmark:
-  - `fast exact`: `6.5 us`
-  - `fast collection`: `19.5 us`
-  - `extract hit`: `46.1 us`
-  - `extract miss`: `13.6 us`
-- Cross-library snapshot from `benchmarks/benchmark_baselines.py`:
-  - `timefhuman`: `56.1 us/input`, `37/37 ok`, `10/10 exact`
-  - `parsedatetime`: `45.0 us/input`, `36/37 ok`, `6/10 exact`
-  - `datefinder`: `42.9 us/input`, `23/37 ok`, `5/10 exact`
-  - `recurrent`: `195.2 us/input`, `36/37 ok`, `6/10 exact`
-  - `ctparse`: `12808.2 us/input`, `37/37 ok`, `3/10 exact`
-  - `dateparser`: `49105.3 us/input`, `20/37 ok`, `6/10 exact`
+- Runtime path: deterministic whole-string parse first, bounded extraction for noisy text, LALR fallback only on misses. Earley is not used at runtime.
+- Correctness: public `timefhuman(...)` now completes on the `datefinder` `core_corpus` and `seattle_html_76k` datasets without raising conversion errors.
+- Test suite: `137 passed in 0.55s`
+- Warm whole-document median on this machine:
+  - `core_corpus`: `timefhuman 0.00199s` for `10` matches, `datefinder.extract 0.00045s` for `14` matches
+  - `seattle_html_76k`: `timefhuman 0.09717s` for `48` matches, `datefinder.extract 0.07821s` for `57` matches
