Description

On the benchmark machines, it'd be better if this were in an agent temp dir, something that's cleared in between runs. Otherwise, we can potentially end up with unbounded copies of node/bun/etc.

Alternatively, we could just delete .tsperf before each run.

Research direction

Start by locating where ts-perf creates and uses $HOME/.tsperf during benchmark runs. Check how benchmark agents provide temporary directories and verify that each run either uses a cleared temp location or removes .tsperf beforehand, without leaving unbounded copies of node, bun, or other tools.
