"""Regenerate ``case_studies/<cs>/benchmark/<label>.{parquet,json}``.

These files are the buy-and-hold equal-weight return of the declared universe, and every
strategy in a case study is measured against them through
``case_studies.utils.benchmark.load_benchmark_metrics``. They were committed with no
generator anywhere in the repository (agent-workspace #362), which is how the defects
below survived.

**The benchmark must live on the same grid as the strategy.** The backtester aggregates to
a daily series before it measures anything (``to_daily_returns`` /
``extract_daily_returns_frame``) and ``evaluation.periods_per_year`` annualizes that daily
grid. A benchmark built on the trading cadence and annualized at 252 is not comparable to
it and understates itself by ``sqrt(bars_per_year / periods_per_year)`` - 5.1x on
nasdaq100_microstructure's 15-minute grid, 1.7x on crypto_perps_funding's 8-hour one. So
this compounds to a daily close-to-close return first, which is what the ``method`` field
``daily_cross_sectional_mean_close_pct_change`` has always claimed and what the committed
files did not do.
