A replica row in staging or loading holds its slot, because slot allocation counts every state except unloading. Nothing ever reclaimed such a row: every reconciler pass and the router's eviction query filter state = "loaded", and the per-model probe skips rows without an address, which is exactly what a row that never finished loading has. So a worker that dropped out mid-transfer left a row that pinned the only replica slot for that model on that node. Scheduling then found no free slot and eviction found nothing it was allowed to evict, and the request failed with "no replica slot on <node> and eviction failed: all models busy". The state persisted until an operator intervened. The reconciler now reclaims a row stuck before serving when no load job is driving it. Ownership is decided by the job's LastProgress heartbeat, not by elapsed time: staging a large checkpoint legitimately runs for a long while without touching the replica row, so a deadline would either be a model-size cliff or reclaim a healthy transfer. That heartbeat is the same signal job takeover already trusts. Any error reading the job leaves the slot held, because holding one for another pass costs a scheduling opportunity while a wrong reclaim restarts a multi-gigabyte transfer.
