"""RunPod Flash fine-tuning endpoints (queue-based, one dedicated GPU per run).
Flash provisions a dedicated RunPod GPU (RTX 4090 / 5090, no Docker), installs
``WORKER_DEPS``, runs the handler, returns the metrics dict, and scales to zero.
Flash's live ("ad-hoc") provisioning does not bundle local project code, so the
handler fetches the ``flash`` package from the HF dataset repo (uploaded by
``upload_code`` before submit), adds it to ``PYTHONPATH``, and runs
``flash.engine.worker`` to train. The worker streams the adapter + checkpoints to
the same HF repo for serving and preemption-resilient resume.
