# Without any profiling tools
1. Open Task Manager (Shift+Esc)
2. Navigate to your app
3. Record baseline after 30s
4. Use app normally for 5 minutes
5. Record memory
6. Wait 3 minutes idle
7. Record again

# Decision point:
If idle_memory <= baseline + 20MB → Likely healthy
If idle_memory > baseline + 50MB → Proceed to Phase 2
