The setup screen asks for up to two judge machines after the store's
two, and server init takes --judge-node for each. Each is added as a
node labelled llmgw.role: judge, and the judge's profile selects that
label, with cores by init's rule over those machines. A judge beside a
busy control plane refused 38 of 60 requests under load; alone, 2.
