Implicit Boost::asio availability dependency is not enforced
The comment states tests depend on examples being built first to make Boost::asio available, but both are independently guarded. If BOOST_CAPY_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF and BOOST_CAPY_BUILD_TESTS=ON (a common CI configuration), tests will be configured without Boost::asio, causing a silent failure—tests compile but the conditional link against Boost::asio (in test/unit/CMakeLists.txt) is skipped since the target is never created.
Consider either:
- Adding an explicit CMake guard, or
- Moving the
Boost::asiodiscovery into the testCMakeLists.txt(or the root) rather than relying on examples as a side-effect.

Add clarifying comment explaining the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS condition for mimalloc
The mimalloc setup (lines 10–18) and linking of mimalloc-static (lines 31–35) are both gated on BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON. This is counterintuitive: BUILD_SHARED_LIBS controls whether Boost::capy is built as a SHARED or STATIC library, and linking a static allocator specifically when using shared libraries—while omitting the mimalloc arm of the benchmark in the static build—needs explanation.
Add a comment clarifying the design intent: e.g., whether this avoids ODR/allocator-instance issues when Boost::capy is shared, or whether the condition should be inverted to NOT BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.

from_asio constraint is too permissive — accepts any bidirectional range.
The second disjunct std::ranges::bidirectional_range<std::remove_cvref_t<BS>> doesn't verify that the range's element type is an asio buffer. A std::vector<int> satisfies this constraint and will produce a hard error inside the function body rather than a clean SFINAE/concept failure. Consider tightening, e.g.:

template<class BS>
