//! SRD-102 — Named physical thread pools.
//!
//! A process-wide registry of **named physical thread pools**: sets of real OS
//! threads (`std::thread`, not tokio tasks) dedicated to one role, each with a
//! scheduling policy (priority + optional CPU affinity). Realtime-sensitive,
//! schedule-keeping work (the cadence scheduler) runs on the `timing` pool so
//! it is never queued behind the async worker pool.
//!
//! Placed in `nmbrs-metrics` (layer 2, per SRD-05) so both `nmbrs-metrics` (the
//! scheduler) and `nmbrs-runtime` (which sizes the `workers` runtime) can read
//! it without an upward dependency edge.
//!
//! Config resolves from env + core count with reasonable defaults (SRD-102 §4);
//! CLI-flag overlay lives in the `nmbrs` binary. Unknown pool/policy names are
//! hard errors — never silently ignored.
