+"""WorkerPool — keeps a live idalib worker per project binary, within a budget.
+
+One worker process holds exactly one database (idalib is single-DB and
+main-thread-only), so a project with N binaries means up to N processes. They are
+not cheap and they do not share: a worker on ``bash`` measures ~126 MB RSS /
+117 MB PSS, and the database working set dominates for anything larger
+(``libcrypto.so.3``'s ``.i64`` alone is 72 MB).
+
+Residency is therefore bounded by a **memory budget**, not a worker count — a
+count is the wrong knob when one project holds both a 50 KB helper and a 6 MB
+crypto library. Workers are spawned lazily on first use, kept resident while they
+fit, and least-recently-used ones evicted when they don't. Eviction **saves the
+database first**, so coming back is a load rather than a re-analysis.
+
+The pool never evicts the active binary, nor anything pinned.
