-/**
- * @file Whether this machine can take one more encoder, counted across every
- * output at once (roadmap item 97, step 13).
- *
- * WHAT WAS MISSING. How many encoders an output may run was answered per
- * output (`EncodeRuns.maxRunsForOutput`) and always at least one, so a second
- * output got its encoder whatever the first was already costing — and on the
- * addon host two 1080p encodes run at 0.99x and 0.98x, so opening one more
- * output slowed everybody below realtime. Nothing could refuse.
- *
- * THE UNIT is seconds of work per second of film, the one the quality offer
- * judges every step in (`EncodeCost`). An encoder costs what it costs: a
- * soundtrack is a small fraction of a re-encoded picture, and counting them as
- * processes would refuse a viewer their sound for the sake of a number. Costs
- * add, and a set of encoders is affordable when the machine, corrected for the
- * share of it nobody has priced, still makes a second of film per second:
- * `share / Σ cost >= 1`. On the addon host that reproduces the measurement it
- * is meant to hold: 1080p alone at 1.96x costs 0.51 s/s, two cost 1.02 and make
- * 0.98x, measured 0.99x and 0.98x. At 480p it is pessimistic — two at 7.12x
- * each predict 3.56x and were measured at 4.20x — and pessimistic is the side
- * a refusal may err on.
- *
- * WHO HOLDS A PLACE, and nothing is stored here to say so:
- *
- * 1. every live encoder, at the cost of its output;
- * 2. every output a present viewer is being PREPARED onto — a step being
- *    warmed, or a move to another limit of the height on screen — once per
- *    output however many viewers wait for it, and only while no encoder is
- *    running there yet, since a running one already holds its place;
- * 3. every output a present viewer is WATCHING that still has something left
- *    to make and no encoder on it yet — the output just opened for them,
- *    which the plan has not placed an encoder on in the same moment. Without
- *    it the place an output is opened on is nobody's until its first encoder
- *    starts, and two viewers opening two films in that gap are both told there
- *    is room for one (roadmap item 97, step 14).
- *
- * The second is read off the viewers' own records. A preparation is recorded
- * where it belongs, on the viewer, and the place it holds ends the moment that
- * record does: no second register to keep in step, and no release to forget
- * on one of the paths a preparation can end by.
- *
- * AN ADMITTED ENCODER IS NEVER TAKEN AWAY. A refusal only ever stops something
- * from starting; what runs keeps running. So "the admission removed an encoder
- * from an output being prepared" does not happen by construction.
- *
- * WHAT IS NOT SOLVED, stated so it is not discovered: places go to whoever
- * asks first. A second encoder on one output — one catching up behind another
- * — takes a place a viewer opening another film may be waiting for, and the
- * viewer waits until it ends.
