drjones aeba1b47fd Make unreclaimable VRAM actionable, and account for ComfyUI's CUDA context
The health check now reports what unmanaged VRAM actually costs rather than just
how much of it there is: "0.82 GB held by python (842 MB)" becomes "5 model(s) fit
within 15.42 GB but not the 14.60 GB actually available", naming them.

Getting that arithmetic right took a correction. The first version subtracted only
the desktop and the unmanaged process, and so reported a 14.93 GB model as fitting
against a real ceiling of 14.60 GB -- the same model the service had just refused
with 507. ComfyUI keeps a few hundred MB of CUDA context for as long as the process
lives, which a purge does not free, so it is not available either. The floor is taken
from the minimum ComfyUI VRAM in recent telemetry rather than its current value,
which could be a 7 GB checkpoint mid-generation.

The verifier's reclaim stage now re-runs a graph immediately beforehand to reset the
30 s idle window, since a large model takes longer than that to load and the purge
was freeing ComfyUI mid-load, so the reclaim path was never reached.

Tests: 199 (was 192). The new ones pin the ceiling arithmetic, including that a model
too large to fit on the card at all is not blamed on the third-party process.

"""Dependency self-check.
Motivation: fan control failed for an entire session because the service started before
the headless X server that owns the GPU was accepting connections. The failure was real,
recoverable and completely invisible -- it appeared once, inside one field of one log
line, and nothing ever asked "is fan control actually working?"
Everything HyperSwap needs is checked here, each with a plain statement of what breaks
when it is missing and how to fix it. A degraded dependency should be loud.
