A job names the catalog model the adapter is for, the safetensors weights to
train on, the node and the MiB of a card it needs, and question/answer pairs.
The control plane sends it when the node's agent is there and nothing else
trains on it; the agent trains with its installed vLLM's torch and a pinned
overlay of peft and accelerate (no second environment), as the engines'
user, on the card with that much free — beside an engine, if it leaves that
much — converts the adapter to GGUF with the installed llama.cpp's own
conversion code when the model is served by llama.cpp, and sends what it
made back in pieces, kept in the store to download. Progress, loss and peak
card memory are reported as it goes; a node that goes fails its job.
