//! `EphemeralAllocation` CRD — a typed request for a pool member.
//!
//! Pairs with `EphemeralPool`: an Allocation is the request side;
//! the pool reconciler answers it by matching one of its free
//! Process members and stamping the requestor's identity on the
//! Allocation's status.
//!
//! Topology:
//! - The requestor (GitHub PR webhook, CI runner, operator running
//!   `feira allocation request …`) creates an `EphemeralAllocation`.
//! - The pool reconciler watches Allocations; matches `spec.poolRef`
//!   (or routes via PoolSelector if `poolRef` is omitted) to a pool;
//!   picks one Free member; transitions the member to Allocated and
//!   the Allocation to Bound.
//! - When the requestor is done, it deletes the Allocation. The pool
//!   reconciler honors the pool's `returnPolicy` (Reset / Replace /
//!   Keep).
