llm.Client carries a bearer credential and sets it on the completion, and
Pair signs the /health probe with it too. An unsigned probe would answer 401,
Pair would read that as a card that is busy, and every workstation turn would
fall back to the resident model with nothing naming why.
The token comes from workstation.token, expanded from MAVEN_GPU_TOKEN like
every other secret in that file. Missing, and voicewire says so at startup:
the fallback is silent by design and this failure would otherwise be
invisible.

Pair.Complete handed the caller's context to the workstation unchanged, so a
remote that accepted the connection and then hung spent the whole turn budget.
The fallback then ran on an expired context and the floor returned the deadline
error instead of an answer, which broke the turn on the workstation being slow.
docs/offload.md rules that out. The remote now gets at most half of a deadline
that exists, and a context without a deadline is left to the configured
workstation timeout.
Pair.Stop and worker.Server.Close both closed their channel after a
check-then-close, so two concurrent callers could race and the second close
panics. Both are sync.Once now, which is what the doc comments already claimed.
config.Load names the environment variables it could not resolve. An unset
variable still expands to the empty string, because every block reads that as
not configured and CI parses deploy/mavend.json with no secrets present. What
was missing is the line telling the operator which capability a forgotten env
file just turned off.

Seven cases. The load-bearing ones are the constraint from 483: an
unconfigured deploy never probes and always reaches the floor, a busy
card degrades silently with the remote untouched, and a remote that dies
between probes still completes the turn and corrects the cached answer on
its way out.
CompleteRemote is pinned not to fall back, because a named gap that
quietly became a 1.7B guess is the failure this whole split exists to
prevent. And 1000 Available calls are pinned to make zero probes.
