Placement Explainability

PlacementPlan is the first-class explanation for both a dry-run and a real request. Both paths call the same planner. A plan records the requested capability/deployment, node and accelerator, eligibility, priority, current residents, external use, reserve, authoritative envelope requirement, headroom before and after, selected managed evictions, queue impact, verdict and typed reasons.

Verdicts are ADMIT, ADMIT_AFTER_EVICTION, QUEUE, REJECT_CAPACITY, REJECT_HEALTH, and REJECT_POLICY. Reason codes include INSUFFICIENT_SCHEDULABLE_VRAM, EXTERNAL_GPU_PRESSURE, RESIDENCY_CONFLICT, EVICTION_NOT_ALLOWED, DEADLINE_CANNOT_BE_MET, LEASE_CONFLICT, GPU_MEMORY_NOT_RECLAIMED, and SCHEDULER_STATE_STALE.

The operator dry-run answers “what if I invoke this capability now?” without loading a model. The UI shows the actual budget, pressure, residency, possible eviction, expected reclaimed bytes, cold-load cost and final reasons. Recent placement history is capped at 500 records. It contains safe request shape metadata only—never text, image, audio or client-supplied placement commands.

Co-residency arithmetic yields at most EXPECTED_SAFE. PROVEN_SAFE requires two exact residents on the same worker generation, KNOWN attribution and a measured combined footprint. Promotion and scheduling readiness remain separate lifecycle decisions.
