Phase 1b: wires the capacity model from 3a2d76a into the launch path, and turns
the existing pending-phase loop into the queue.
Placement moves from mission launch to PHASE launch. A node chosen at launch is
chosen once, minutes before the first VM boots and hours before the last — and
re-placing between phases is free, because mission state lives on the gateway
checkout and every VM is inject -> run -> collect -> destroy. Pinning early
bought nothing and cost the ability to react to a node filling or draining
mid-mission. One call site serves both the solo and composed paths so they cannot
disagree; the composed worker reads `missions.target_node_id`, which placement
writes before dispatch.
QUEUEING, with no new machinery: a phase with no admissible node keeps its
`pending` status and creates no `topology_runs` row. `start_pending_phases`
retries every 10s — that loop already was a queue; nothing downstream ever sees a
run that did not happen.
The risk that creates is the one this codebase keeps paying for: a phase waiting
for capacity looks exactly like a phase nothing is working on. So the wait is
RECORDED, not merely logged — migration 0073 adds `capacity_blocked_since` and
`capacity_note`, stamped once and preserved across retries so the wait is
measured from the first refusal. It is bounded at two full turns: a fleet that
frees will free within one, and a phase that waited two hours must say so rather
than sit pending forever looking like a bug.
Mission launch still fails when NO node could ever run the backend — that is not
transient, waiting will not fix it, and `microvm-negctl` asserts such a mission
stays `draft`. Capacity refusals are transient and queue; capability refusals are
not and fail. The two are separate variants precisely so they cannot be confused.
