Use when explaining pipeline stages, data or control hazards, forwarding, stalls, or superscalar basics behind a counter reading. Not for mispredict cost: use branch-prediction-and-speculation.

# CPU pipelines and hazards
## Contract
| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | A stall counter needs interpreting, instruction order changes throughput in a hot loop, or assembly scheduling needs relating to hardware behavior. |
| Authority | Read-only. The skill runs `perf stat` on a user-named binary and answers in chat. Nothing on disk changes, so there is nothing to roll back. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Chat output only. |
| Done | The hazard class in the loop is named, the counter that shows it is quoted where a binary exists, and one restructuring is proposed with its condition. |
## Inputs
- Hot loop (required): source or assembly.
