+# Per-node gpuq supervisor: keeps one worker per GPU alive and publishes a
+# heartbeat to the bucket. Run ONE per node, in its own tmux window:
+#   tmux new-window -t ssh_tmux -n gpuq_sup \
+#     'bash ~/jspace/scripts/gpuq_supervisor.sh node1 5'
+#
+# Usage: gpuq_supervisor.sh <node-id> <num-gpus> [tmux-session]
+# Worker ids are <node-id>-gpu<i>; heartbeat lands at
+#   jspace:jspace/gpuq/_health/<node-id>.txt   (age > ~2 min == node in trouble)
+# Check fleet health from anywhere:
+#   rclone cat jspace:jspace/gpuq/_health/node1.txt
