feat(a2a): GPU lease protocol over the coordination bus (#893)#2988hognek wants to merge 17 commits into
Conversation
Two agents sharing one GPU could silently co-load past its VRAM: taOS FLUX image-gen OOM-killed itself because taOSmd had ~9.4 GB of Ollama models resident on the same 12 GB card after an earlier "free" signal. The controller already had a lease registry and the GPU arbiter, but nothing coordinated across PRODUCTS over the A2A bus. Adds the one-line text protocol (CHECK/CLAIM/RELEASE/REQUEST) as a pure parser/fold in tinyagentos/gpu_lease.py, plus an authenticated route surface in tinyagentos/routes/a2a_gpu_lease.py: - CHECK folds the channel's open [GPU CLAIM]/[GPU RELEASE] claims AND this controller's own cluster leases (invisible on the bus) and nets both against the node's live VRAM. - CLAIM is admission-checked, registers a real cluster lease (TTL keep-alive via /renew) and posts [GPU CLAIM]; the lease is rolled back if the bus post fails, so the bus and the local scheduler never disagree about who holds the node. - RELEASE frees the lease and posts [GPU RELEASE]; REQUEST posts [GPU REQUEST]. - Claiming is denied (409) on another holder's claim or insufficient VRAM, and CHECK/CLAIM fail closed with 503 when the channel cannot be read rather than reporting a node free. A claim's authoritative holder is the bus message author, not the caller- controlled holder= field. An agent posts as its own registry identity (bus `from` = the token's sub, readable handle in holder=) and presents its registry JWT, matching the bus auth contract from jaylfc#2112. The new paths are added to the agent Bearer allowlist. Tests: 72 (protocol unit tests + route integration against a faked bus and a real ClusterManager). Fixes jaylfc#893.

CRITICAL: gpu_release skips ownership verification when lease_id is supplied
When the caller provides a lease_id, the route passes it directly to cluster.release_lease without checking that the caller owns it. The ownership check in _lease_for_actor is only reached when lease_id is omitted. This means any caller can release any lease by guessing or leaking its ID. gpu_renew correctly verifies ownership at line 640.

WARNING: gpu_release is not atomic — cluster lease released before bus post
The cluster lease is freed at line 581 and the [GPU RELEASE] line is posted afterwards at line 584. If the bus post fails, the local scheduler has already released the node but peers still see the open claim, so the next CHECK blocks a node that is actually free. gpu_claim rolls the lease back on a bus failure (lines 539-544); gpu_release should apply the same "both halves or neither" guarantee.

Self-review hardening on the A2A GPU lease surface: - A caller-supplied lease_id could previously release or renew ANY holder's lease. `_may_act_on` now requires the lease to be the caller's own (or an operator for the explicit-id path, mirroring POST /api/cluster/leases/*); the node-scoped path stays strictly ownership-matched. - The renew route extended the lease BEFORE the ownership check, so a rejected renewal had already moved another holder's expiry. - `GET /api/a2a/gpu/check` treated an unparseable vram figure as 0, i.e. "check the claims, not the VRAM" -- a silent downgrade indistinguishable from a real VRAM check. It is now a 400, matching the other endpoints. Tests: 77 (5 new: unparseable-vram 400, agent release/renew of a foreign lease, agent releasing its own lease, admin explicit-id override, node-scoped release ownership).
Kilo review of PR jaylfc#2988 (WARNING): gpu_release freed the cluster lease first and posted [GPU RELEASE] afterwards, so a failed bus post left the controller with no lease while peers still read an open claim -- the next CHECK then blocks a node that is actually free. The line is now posted first and the lease released only on success; a failed post changes nothing and the caller can retry. `release_lease` is an idempotent in-memory pop, so the halves cannot be left disagreeing the other way. (The review's CRITICAL finding -- a caller-supplied lease_id bypassing the ownership check in gpu_release/gpu_renew -- was already fixed in b41fb7f.) Tests: 78 (1 new: a failed post leaves the lease intact).

- Line 271: Update the fold key construction in the relevant claim-grouping
function to casefold msg.node alongside msg.identity_key, ensuring node
spellings that differ only by case merge into one group. Preserve the existing
case-insensitive node matching in claims_for_node and leave the second renderer
unchanged.
- Around line 73-76: Update _clean to escape caller-supplied “=” characters
before protocol lines are rendered, while preserving its existing whitespace and
printable-character normalization. Ensure values such as reason cannot be
interpreted by _split_fields as new key-value fields.
- Around line 298-301: Update _is_mine in tinyagentos/gpu_lease.py to compare
identity only with claim.bus_from when it is set, never with the
caller-controlled claim.holder; preserve the appropriate fallback when bus_from

renewed the existing lease, and during bus-post rollback release the lease only
when this request created it. Preserve the idempotent renewal behavior for
existing leases, and add coverage for rollback after a repeated claim to ensure
the pre-existing lease remains active.
- Around line 412-414: Update _resource_id to normalize the node component
case-insensitively, or derive it from the resolved worker name, before
constructing the resource ID; preserve the existing resource-name fallback and
ensure equivalent node spellings produce the same ID for lease lookup and claim
filtering.
- Around line 574-581: Enforce ownership authorization atomically for both
release and renewal: update the release flow around _lease_for_actor and
cluster.release_lease, and the renewal flow at
tinyagentos/routes/a2a_gpu_lease.py lines 634-641, to use owner-aware manager
operations under the lease lock. Permit only the lease owner or an administrator
to mutate the lease, including when a supplied lease_id is provided, and prevent
TTL extension or removal before authorization.
- Around line 141-148: Update _read_channel to accept the raw bus credential and
send it in the Authorization header when requesting /a2a/messages. Propagate the
configured credential from both CHECK and CLAIM paths through _check_node, while
preserving unauthenticated requests when no token is configured.

Findings from the CodeRabbit review of PR jaylfc#2988, all verified against the code: - **Admission ownership trusted a spoofable field** (CWE-290). `_is_mine` accepted the body's `holder=` even when the bus authenticated the author, so `from=@attacker holder=@victim` made the victim's own admission treat the attacker's claim as its own and load anyway. The authenticated `from` now decides; `holder=` is only a fallback for pre-bus-auth posts. - **Field injection through a value.** `reason=a node=ghost` re-parsed as a new `node`. `_clean` neutralises `=` in rendered values and `_split_fields` now keeps the FIRST value for a repeated key. - **Node spelling split the fold.** `Linstation` and `linstation` produced two groups (so one holder's claim was invisible) and a differently-spelled RELEASE never closed its claim. The fold key is case-folded, groups merge, and `_match_worker` resolves a worker name case-insensitively so both spellings reach the same lease. - **TTL was unbounded.** `ttl_seconds: 1e9` removed the auto-expiry the whole mechanism rests on; claim/renew now bound it to (0, 3600]. - **Claim rollback freed a pre-existing lease.** A re-claim renews the caller's own lease; a failed repost then deleted it. Rollback now applies only to a lease this call created. - **Bus reads sent no credential.** A bus that gates reads answered 401, which surfaced as a 503 "unreadable channel". The caller's registry JWT is now presented on the read too (same loopback/HTTPS guard as posting). - Docs: protocol fence language, the known-worker scope of the local lease and its TTL, the read credential. Changelog updated for the scope note. Tests: 89 (11 new).

`data/agent_registry_signing.pem.lock` is a 0-byte flock sidecar the registry key writer creates beside the key. `data/*.pem` already ignores the key, but not the lock, so a stray `git add` swept it into the previous commit on this branch - the same accident the neighbouring note in .gitignore describes (PR jaylfc#2540). Untrack it and enumerate the pattern; verified against origin/dev that no tracked file becomes ignored.
CodeRabbit on jaylfc#2988: releasing another holder's lease by explicit `lease_id` posted the `[GPU RELEASE]` as `@operator`. A bus claim is keyed on its AUTHOR (the fold's identity_key is bus_from or holder), so that line closed nothing: the local lease was gone while every peer's fold still read the node as claimed, i.e. a GPU that was actually free stayed blocked - the exact local/peer disagreement the endpoint exists to remove. The line is now attributed to the freed lease's bus identity (an admin session may post with an explicit `from`), with the readable handle resolved from the agent registry; `released_holder` reports whose claim the line closes while `holder` keeps reporting who acted. A lease with no bus claim behind it (a non-`a2a:` caller such as skald-dispatcher) is unchanged, and a bus that authenticates senders refuses the substitution: the post fails before the local lease is freed, so the override cannot half-apply. Tests: 47 in tests/test_routes_a2a_gpu_lease.py (1 new), 296 with the neighbouring suites. The new test fails on the pre-fix code.

[REVIEW — taOS-dev lead] Partial review: the identity core, which is the part I would not merge on trust. The Reviewed head The claim holds for agents
Defect — on the ADMIN path, the invariant
|
CodeRabbit on jaylfc#2988: `ttl_seconds` bounded only the cluster lease. A CLAIM published no expiry and the fold kept it open until a RELEASE arrived, so after a holder crashed (or went idle) another identity was denied the shared card until its claim aged out of the fold window - a GPU held by nobody, which is the mirror image of the co-load this surface exists to prevent. - `render_claim` can publish `expires=<unix ts>`, and `open_claims` drops a claim whose published expiry has passed, exactly as the cluster lease's TTL frees the reservation behind it. A claim posted without an expiry is unchanged: bound by a RELEASE alone, which is what the interim hand-posted lines rely on. - `gpu_claim` publishes the backing lease's expiry (or now + the requested TTL on a bus-only node) and reports it as `claim_expires_at`. - `gpu_renew` reposts the claim line with the new expiry as it extends the lease, so keeping the lease alive keeps the claim alive; a failed repost is logged and reported (`bus_claim_refreshed: false`) rather than failing a renewal that did happen locally. `RenewBody.channel` names the thread the claim lives on. Tests: 101 in tests/test_gpu_lease_protocol.py + tests/test_routes_a2a_gpu_lease.py (12 new), 296 with the neighbouring suites. The new tests fail without the change (a crashed holder's node becomes claimable only once the published expiry passes).

…led keep-alive CodeRabbit round 4 on jaylfc#2988, each finding verified against the code: - **Truncation published an expiry BEFORE the lease ended.** `int(expires_at)` turned a lease ending at 1000.9 into `expires=1000`, so a peer could be admitted in the gap while the reservation was still live. The rendered instant is now rounded UP (`math.ceil`): a published expiry never precedes the reservation it describes. - **A renewal could refresh a different channel than the claim.** `RenewBody` accepted a caller-supplied `channel`, so a keep-alive could repost onto another thread while the original claim expired. The resolved channel is stored on the lease (`GpuLease.claim_channel`, set by `gpu_claim`) and reused by `gpu_renew`; `RenewBody.channel` is gone, since the channel is an input to the *claim* and never to its renewal. - **A failed repost left a renewed lease that peers had already seen lapse.** Half a renewal is no renewal: on a failed claim repost the local extension is rolled back to the previous instant (`ClusterManager.restore_lease_expiry`), so both views agree and the caller retries, with `bus_claim_refreshed: false` and `bus_refresh_error` reporting why. Tests: 103 in the two suites (2 new: the channel pin and the rollback).

CRITICAL: Race condition in restore_lease_expiry can clobber concurrent renewals
restore_lease_expiry blindly overwrites expires_at without verifying the lease hasn't been extended by another concurrent gpu_renew. Between renew_lease and restore_lease_expiry, the lock is released while _post_line performs an HTTP call. A second concurrent renewal can extend the lease in that window, and the first renewal's rollback will silently overwrite the second's extension.
Example timeline:
- Thread A captures
previous_expiry=T0, extends to T1 - Thread B captures
previous_expiry=T1, extends to T2 - Thread A's bus post fails; Thread A calls
restore_lease_expiry(lease_id, T0) - Final lease expiry is T0, but Thread B's response and bus claim both say T2
The method should verify the current expiry matches the expected value before restoring.

Kilo (CRITICAL) and CodeRabbit (Major) on jaylfc#2988 raised the same race: `gpu_renew` posts the claim outside `_lease_lock`, so another renewal can extend the lease while the first one's bus post is in flight. `restore_lease_expiry` then restored unconditionally, so a failing renewal's rollback would silently undo the renewal that succeeded - whose response and bus claim still describe an expiry the lease no longer has. The rollback is now a compare-and-set: it restores only while the lease still carries the expiry THIS caller attempted, and the route reports the difference (`a2a bus unavailable; a newer renewal stands`). Tests: 1 new manager test pinning the supersede guard; 278 passed across the cluster, lease and a2a GPU route suites.

CodeRabbit on jaylfc#2988: `_resolve_actor` built the session-admin actor with `identity = body.holder or "@operator"`, and `_lease_owned_by` matched a lease against both the identity and the holder. An admin session presenting an `a2a:`-looking `holder` therefore satisfied the ownership check on the node-scoped release/renew path (which takes no lease id) and could free a lease it did not hold. A session admin now acts as the fixed `@operator` principal and `holder` is display data only; ownership is an identity match and nothing else. An operator still frees any lease by EXPLICIT id - that is the operator path - and the freed holder is still the identity the RELEASE line is posted under. Tests: 104 in the two suites (1 new: an admin cannot take ownership by holder).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not subtract a loaded same-holder claim from live free VRAM.
_check_node injects the existing cluster lease into evaluate_admission before gpu_claim reaches its idempotent renewal branch. The local free_mb comes from hardware free VRAM after in-flight reservations, and remote free_vram_mb comes from the worker heartbeat. Both values can already reflect a loaded workload.
For a 12-GiB card with 6 GiB free and a same-holder 6-GiB claim, line 453 computes zero available VRAM. A repeated 6-GiB check or claim can therefore be denied. Count the same-holder claim only when its reservation is not already reflected in free_mb, or treat it as a replacement reservation.

CR on jaylfc#2988 (tinyagentos/cluster/manager.py:912). The keep-alive route captured `previous_expiry` from a lease object read OUTSIDE `_lease_lock` and only then called `renew_lease`. A renewal completing in between made that value stale, so if this request's bus post then failed, its rollback restored the stale expiry and clobbered the intervening renewal - even though the compare-and-set guard (4bbe24d) matched this request's own attempted expiry. `renew_lease_with_previous` returns `(lease, previous_expiry)` from the same critical section that writes the new expiry, so the value a rollback restores is exactly the one this renewal replaced. `renew_lease` keeps its existing contract for every other caller (routes/cluster.py, the GPU arbiter) by delegating. The keep-alive route now uses the paired call. Tests (tests/test_routes_a2a_gpu_lease.py): - test_renewal_reports_the_expiry_it_actually_replaced pins the lock-held capture, and that a superseded renewal's rollback is refused while the owner's still applies. - test_a_failed_keep_alive_does_not_clobber_a_newer_renewal lands a second renewal while the bus post is in flight (new FakeBus.on_post hook) and asserts the newer expiry survives the failed request's rollback.
CR on jaylfc#2988 (tinyagentos/gpu_lease.py:453). Admission subtracted the caller's OWN open claim from the node's live free VRAM. Once the model was loaded that claim is already reflected in free_mb, so a 12-GiB card with 6 GiB free and a same-holder 6-GiB claim computed zero available VRAM and the next claim/check was denied - which broke the idempotent re-POST the 500-message fold window requires. `evaluate_admission(replace_own=True)` treats the requirement as a REPLACEMENT of the caller's own reservation (its reservation comes back into the budget) rather than an addition to it. The default stays False, so CHECK - where an own claim really is a pending load - is unchanged. The claim route passes it only when the caller already owns the lease on that resource; the lease id / resource are resolved before admission to know that. Tests: - tests/test_gpu_lease_protocol.py: the finding's exact scenario is admitted under replace_own, and a replacement still cannot exceed the caller's own reservation plus the free figure. - tests/test_routes_a2a_gpu_lease.py: re-claiming the same node after its free VRAM has dropped to the loaded state renews the same lease instead of 409-ing.
CR on jaylfc#2988 (tinyagentos/routes/a2a_gpu_lease.py:660). The idempotent re-claim path only extends `expires_at`, then published the NEW request's `vram_mb` and `channel`. A changed vram split the GpuLease from the bus claim, and a changed channel reposted the line on a thread the original claim was never on - leaving peers watching the first channel with no visible renewal while the local lease stayed held. A re-claim whose vram or channel differs from the held lease is now rejected (409) with the held contract in the reason; the way to change the shape of a reservation is to release it first. Test: test_reclaiming_with_different_parameters_is_rejected asserts both the larger-vram and the other-channel re-claims are refused and that the lease's required_vram_mb / claim_channel and the channel's messages are untouched.
CR on jaylfc#2988 (tinyagentos/routes/a2a_gpu_lease.py:706). The route renewed the caller's own lease BEFORE posting the claim line, but the HTTPException rollback only handled leases this call CREATED. A failed repost on the idempotent re-claim path therefore left the local lease extended while the bus kept the claim's OLD expiry - after that older instant peers free the card and can co-load while this controller still believes it is reserved. That is the same half-renewal `gpu_renew` already guards against. The re-claim now takes its previous expiry from the locked `renew_lease_with_previous` and, on a failed post, restores it with the same compare-and-set rollback, so an intervening renewal still owns the lease. A lease this call created is still released, as before. Test: test_reclaim_rollback_restores_the_extended_expiry re-claims with a longer TTL while the bus is down and asserts the expiry is back to the value the bus claim still carries.
…quest's CR on jaylfc#2988 (tinyagentos/routes/a2a_gpu_lease.py:735). `gpu_release` found a lease by explicit id but still rendered the RELEASE from the request's `node` and `channel`. A caller - including an operator - could therefore post `[GPU RELEASE] node=<other>` on a thread the claim was never on, and then delete the identified local lease: the real claim stays open on the bus while the reservation is gone, i.e. peers keep reading the node as claimed. A found lease now supplies both: the node from its `resource_id` and the channel from `claim_channel`. Request values still apply to the idempotent bus-only release (no matching local lease), which is what tells peers a free node is free. Test: test_release_uses_the_leases_own_node_and_channel claims on node=linstation/channel=gpu-lab, releases it naming node=local and another channel, and asserts the lease's node/channel are what reach the bus.
…ent caller CR on jaylfc#2988 (tests/test_routes_a2a_gpu_lease.py:351). The block claimed to show a different caller seeing a claimed node, but it reused `lease_client` - the same admin identity that had just made the claim - so the only assertion was `status_code == 200` and the block proved nothing about blocking. It now checks from a second, agent-token identity: the peer is admitted `False` and is blocked by `@operator`, the claim's bus author.
CR on jaylfc#2988 (docs/agent-coordination.md:441, changelog.d line 30). "Never expires (bounded by a RELEASE alone)" was wrong in one direction: the protocol also limits a claim's visibility to the newest 500 messages, so a hand-posted claim without `expires=` can still age out of the fold and has to be reposted periodically. Say that, instead of implying it outlives the channel.

What
Two agents sharing one physical GPU must not silently co-load past its VRAM
(taOS #893). Found when @taos FLUX image-gen OOM-killed itself because @taOSmd
had ~9.4 GB of Ollama models resident on the same 12 GB card after an earlier
"free" signal.
The controller already has a GPU lease registry (
ClusterManager) and thearbiter — but nothing coordinated across products over the A2A bus. This PR
implements the interim text protocol and wires it to the existing lease registry
so the coordination is enforced, not advisory.
The protocol
tinyagentos/gpu_lease.pyowns the format and the fold (pure, no httpx/FastAPI):parse a line, render a line, reduce a channel's history to the claims still open
(a CLAIM closes on a RELEASE from the same holder; a repost replaces rather than
double-counts). Values are flattened to one line, so a caller-supplied newline
cannot inject a second protocol line.
The endpoints
/api/a2a/gpu/checka2a_receive/api/a2a/gpu/claima2a_send[GPU CLAIM]/api/a2a/gpu/releasea2a_send[GPU RELEASE]/api/a2a/gpu/requesta2a_send[GPU REQUEST]when blocked/api/a2a/gpu/renewa2a_sendNever silently co-load is enforced in three places:
card looks free — "claimed" means a load is in flight.
bus never shows, the same gap
GpuArbiter._check_cluster_admissioncloses)into the same admission decision, deduped so a claim and its lease are not
charged twice.
reporting the node free: an unreadable channel is indistinguishable from
"nobody claimed anything".
CLAIMis both halves or neither: it registers a real cluster lease (TTL, keptalive with
/renew, so a crashed holder auto-frees the node) and posts theline; if the bus post fails the lease is rolled back, so peers and the local
scheduler can never disagree.
Identity
A claim's authoritative holder is the bus message author, not the
caller-controlled
holder=field — matching the bus auth contract from #2112(
routes/a2a_bus.py). An agent posts as its own registry identity (from= thetoken's
sub, readable handle inholder=) and presents its registry JWT to thebus; an admin session may post as an explicit handle and forwards no credential.
The five new paths are added to the agent Bearer allowlist in
auth_middleware.py.Scope note
The productized half named in the issue — per-device VRAM accounting, a lease
registry, admission control, keep-alive auto-eviction — already landed in
#1680/#1859 on the
ClusterManager+GpuArbiter. This PR does not duplicateit; it makes the A2A protocol route through it.
Tests
104 tests across the two new suites, all passing locally:
The route tests drive a faked bus (so a claim made through the route is
visible to the next CHECK, as in production) against a real ClusterManager
with a registered worker, and cover: peer-claim denial, spoofed
holder=denial, insufficient VRAM, fail-closed 503, lease rollback on a failed post,
own-lease self-identification, release ownership, idempotent re-claim, TTL

Bot-review rounds
Round 1 (Kilo). CRITICAL: a caller-supplied
lease_idskipped ownershipverification on release. WARNING: release was not atomic — the local lease was
freed before the line was posted. Fixed in
b41fb7f(ownership check, 400 on anunparseable VRAM) and
5df3950(post the line before freeing the lease).Round 2 (CodeRabbit). An operator releasing another holder's lease by
explicit id posted the
[GPU RELEASE]as@operator. A claim is keyed on itsbus author, so the line closed nothing: the local lease was gone while every
peer's fold still read the node as claimed. Fixed in
4829cf58— the line isattributed to the freed holder (the response now reports
holder, who acted,and
released_holder, whose claim the line closes). The same commit range dropsthe stray 0-byte
data/agent_registry_signing.pem.lockthat a previousgit addswept into the branch, and ignores the pattern (
12ade199).Round 3 (CodeRabbit). A claim never expired:
ttl_secondsbounded only thecluster lease, so after a holder crashed (or went idle) another identity was
denied the card until the claim aged out of the fold window — a GPU held by
nobody. Fixed in
eb923915:/claimpublishesexpires=<unix ts>(the backinglease's expiry, or the requested TTL on a bus-only node),
/renewreposts theclaim as it extends the lease, and the fold drops a claim whose published expiry
has passed. A claim posted by hand without an
expires=is unchanged (bounded bya RELEASE alone), so the interim protocol in #893 keeps working.
Round 4 (CodeRabbit, on
eb923915). Three findings on the new expiry code,all valid and all folded in
71a167a.int(expires_at)truncated a fractionalexpiry, so a lease ending at
1000.9publishedexpires=1000and a peer couldbe admitted in the gap while the reservation was still live — the rendered
instant is now
math.ceiled, so a published expiry can never precede thereservation it describes.
RenewBodyaccepted a caller-suppliedchannel, so akeep-alive could refresh a different thread while the original claim lapsed — the
resolved channel is now stored on the lease (
GpuLease.claim_channel) and reusedby
/renew, andRenewBody.channelis gone, since the channel is an input tothe claim and never to its renewal. And a failed repost left the renewed lease
standing while peers had already seen the claim lapse — the local extension is
now rolled back to the previous instant
(
ClusterManager.restore_lease_expiry) and reported asbus_claim_refreshed: falsewith the reason inbus_refresh_error.Round 5 (Kilo CRITICAL + CodeRabbit Major, on
71a167a). The same race fromboth bots:
/renewposts the claim outside_lease_lock, so a concurrentrenewal can extend the lease while the first one's bus post is in flight — and my
unconditional rollback would then undo the renewal that succeeded, leaving its
response and bus claim describing an expiry the lease no longer had. The rollback
is now a compare-and-set on the expiry this caller attempted
(
ClusterManager.restore_lease_expiry(..., attempted_expiry=…)), pinned by a newmanager test; the route reports
a2a bus unavailable; a newer renewal standswhenit declines to restore. Fixed in
4bbe24d.Round 6 (CodeRabbit, on
4bbe24d— the re-review I asked for on the currenthead). An ownership hole the earlier rounds missed:
_resolve_actorbuilt thesession admin's actor with
identity = body.holder or "@operator", and_lease_owned_bymatched a lease against the holder as well as the identity — soan admin session presenting an
a2a:-canonicalholdercould free that agent'slease through the node-scoped release path, which takes no lease id. The admin is
now the fixed
@operatorprincipal,holderis display data only, and ownershipis an identity match and nothing else; an operator still frees any lease by
explicit id. Fixed in
abfe524b.Not done, deliberately: a distinct "this claim lapsed because the holder stopped
keeping alive" signal on CHECK. The fold is pure by design; that signal belongs
with the arbiter/notification path (
GpuArbiter) rather than this route. Thepoint is fair though — it would make a slow holder observable instead of silent,
and it is worth its own card.
