+- Communication is asynchronous and persistent: each node opens a TCP connection on startup and keeps it alive. The coordinator probes worker health via on-demand AMQP ping/pong messages (5s timeout) rather than relying on the AMQP-0-9-1 transport-level heartbeat.
 
 **Why broker-mediated:**
 - Workers are heterogeneous (different GPUs, different models, ARM vs x86) — no assumption of uniform software
 - Workers are lightweight — a Raspberry Pi with a USB AI accelerator can participate without running a broker
 - The coordinator delegates work via messages, not by SSH'ing into workers or requiring shared filesystems
-- Failure is isolated: a crashed worker drops off the heartbeat list; the coordinator reassigns its work
