stroblmeandClaude Opus 5 1a9753fa9d Let a worker say what machine it is
A worker reported its labels and nothing about the machine behind them, so the
engine could route a node to a GPU box but not tell whether that box had a GPU
free. Inventory — cores, GPUs, memory — now arrives with the hello frame, and
the run frame carries back what the engine allocated for that call.

Which is protocol 2 on both ends. GPUs are never probed: asking a vendor tool
would make the one dependency two, so a GPU is what the batch job says it was
given or what --gpus says. A worker that reports nothing still attaches and is
scheduled by its label alone.

Two things a job scheduler needs: --max-idle stops a worker started for one job
rather than letting it hold its allocation to the walltime, and a refusal is now
fatal instead of a reconnect loop that reads as a hang in a job's log.

"""A worker on another host, and the thread-to-loop bridge that reaches it.
The socket lives on an event loop; a node executes on a worker thread. These
run a real loop in a thread of its own, because that split is the whole
difficulty: what is checked is that a call handed across it comes back — with
its answer, with the reports it made on the way, or with a failure that says
what happened rather than a wait that never ends.
