+Profile an executable target with samply and demangle Lean names
+
+USAGE:
+  lake samply [OPTIONS] <exe-target> [-- [<samply-args>...] [-- <exe-args>...]]
+
+Builds the executable target, records a CPU profile using samply, symbolicates
+the raw addresses, demangles Lean compiler names, and writes a Firefox Profiler
+JSON file.
+
+OPTIONS:
+  -o FILE               output path (default: ./profile-demangled.json.gz)
+  --raw                 save the raw profile without serving (default: ./profile-raw.json.gz)
+  --no-serve            write output file and exit without serving it
+
+Anything after `--` is forwarded verbatim to `samply record`. An inner `--`
+separates samply's own flags from the profiled executable's arguments, e.g.:
+
+  lake samply mergeSort                          # no samply or exe args
+  lake samply mergeSort -- --rate 2000           # only samply args
+  lake samply mergeSort -- -- 10                 # only exe args
+  lake samply mergeSort -- --rate 2000 -- 10     # both
+
+Run `samply record --help` to see samply's flags.
+
+REQUIREMENTS:
+  samply                cargo install samply
+  curl, gzip            standard on most systems
+
+Open the output file in Firefox Profiler at https://profiler.firefox.com/from-file/
+```
+
+:::lake samply "[\"-o\" file] [\"--raw\"] [\"--no-serve\"] «exe-target» [\"--\" [«samply-args»...] [\"--\" «exe-args»...]]"
+
+Builds the executable target {lakeMeta}`exe-target`, records a CPU profile of it using [samply](https://github.com/mstange/samply), symbolicates the raw addresses, and demangles Lean's compiled names into their source-level form (so `l_Lean_Meta_foo` is reported as `Lean.Meta.foo`).
+The result is a gzipped [Firefox Profiler](https://profiler.firefox.com) JSON file.
+
+By default the profile is served on a local HTTP server and a Firefox Profiler URL is printed; `--no-serve` writes the file and exits instead.
+
+Options:
+* `-o` writes the profile to {lakeMeta}`file` instead of `./profile-demangled.json.gz`.
+* `--raw` skips symbolication and demangling, emitting samply's own profile unchanged and without serving it; the default output path becomes `./profile-raw.json.gz`.
+* `--no-serve` writes the output file and exits without starting the server.
+
+Everything after `--` is forwarded verbatim to `samply record`.
+A second `--` separates samply's own flags ({lakeMeta}`samply-args`) from the arguments passed to the profiled executable ({lakeMeta}`exe-args`):
+
+```
+lake samply mergeSort                          # no samply or exe args
+lake samply mergeSort -- --rate 2000           # only samply args
+lake samply mergeSort -- -- 10                 # only exe args
+lake samply mergeSort -- --rate 2000 -- 10     # both
+```
+
+Run `samply record --help` for samply's flags.
+
+Requires [samply](https://github.com/mstange/samply) (`cargo install samply`), along with `curl` and `gzip`.
