docs: record that contention is KFD presence, not a VRAM threshold (V-489)

manages one process to back that answer. Maven never asks it to start anything

and never learns that it did.

Contention is decided by presence under `/sys/class/kfd/kfd/proc`, not by a VRAM
|
||||
threshold. A ROCm process registers there when it initialises HIP, before it
|
||||
allocates anything. So the supervisor sees a contender during that job's startup,
|
||||
and yields before the job loses the memory it asked for. A
|
||||
threshold reads the card too late. By the time free VRAM has dropped, the other
|
||||
job has already lost the allocation race. Free VRAM is still read, but only as a
|
||||
precondition for loading, never as the eviction signal. One blind spot is known.
|
||||
A job can take the card without registering on the KFD, as a Vulkan or a
|
||||
video-decode job would. `describe()` logs every contender's comm, and that log is
|
||||
how we find out whether the blind spot is real.

owner's business and not this daemon's schema.
