Agent-only. Fixes two operator-reported issues:

  • Worker count flopping every cycle (GPU spikes). Replaces the throughput hill-climb (which probed +1 / reverted −1 every tick on noisy windows) with a GPU-utilization-band controller that HOLDS while util is in a healthy band, growing only on clear spare capacity and shrinking under saturation / memory pressure. EWMA-smoothed util + spaced decisions → steady load.
  • GPU util/VRAM bars only updating on manual refresh. Adds a dedicated /gpu endpoint (local nvidia-smi, no curator round-trip) polled every 1.5s, and drops the curator queue-status timeout 15s→5s so /status stays snappy.

Ships in the agent image.

Two operator-reported issues with the GPU agent:

1. Worker count flopped almost every cycle, spiking the GPU. The hill-climb
   probed +1, judged it over a too-short noisy throughput window, saw no clear
   gain and reverted -1 — every tick. Replace it with a GPU-utilization-band
   controller: HOLD while smoothed util sits in a healthy band, grow only on
   clear spare capacity (util below the low mark + VRAM headroom), shrink under
   saturation or memory pressure. Util is EWMA-smoothed and decisions are spaced
   (DECIDE_EVERY samples), so a noisy nvidia-smi reading can't move the pool.
   Load stays consistent instead of probe/reverting.

2. GPU util/VRAM bars only updated on manual refresh. They rode the /status
   poll, which blocks on the curator queue call (slow when curator is busy), so
   the meters froze between refreshes. Give them a dedicated /gpu endpoint
   (local nvidia-smi only, no curator round-trip) polled every 1.5s, and drop
   the curator queue-status timeout 15s -> 5s so /status itself stays snappy.
