What type of PR is this?
/kind documentation

What this PR does / why we need it:

in docs/developers/protocol.md only the first half of the protocol lifecycle (Device Registration) was documented in English. The second half Task Dispatch & Scheduling Decisions was missing.

This PR ports and translates the second section from the Chinese documentation into English along with the existing architectural diagram task-dispatch.png resolving the known protocol diagram discrepancy mentioned in docs/diagrams-inventory.md (lines 244–250)

Updated files:

  • docs/developers/protocol.md
  • versioned_docs/version-v2.9.0/developers/protocol.md

AI Disclosure - used antigravity to translate and audit

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes #810

Checklist:

  • npm run lint and npm run format:check pass
  • npm run build succeeds for both en and zh
  • Chinese translation updated if English docs changed (or noted why not)
  • Commits are signed off (git commit -s)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on task dispatch and scheduling decisions.
    • Documented GPU allocation metadata exchanged through Pod annotations, including three allocation annotations and a GPU memory example.
    • Updated device registration guidance with corrected annotation examples.
    • Updated unavailable-node timeout and scheduler annotation update intervals.
    • Applied these protocol documentation updates to both current and versioned developer documentation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The English protocol documentation now covers task dispatch and scheduling decisions. It defines scheduler-to-device-plugin communication through Pod annotations, GPU allocation metadata, updated registration timing, and a 3000 MiB allocation example.

Changes

Task dispatch protocol documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document task dispatch and allocation annotations
docs/developers/protocol.md, versioned_docs/version-v2.9.0/developers/protocol.md
Adds task dispatch details, annotation definitions, lifecycle information, and a 3000 MiB GPU allocation example.
Align registration protocol details
versioned_docs/version-v2.9.0/developers/protocol.md
Updates annotation examples, GPU naming, the node unavailability threshold, and the scheduler handshake patch interval.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7e727

This documentation adds the scheduler-to-device-plugin dispatch lifecycle and allocation examples. An unresolved concern about which Kubernetes component performs allocation could mislead implementers, so clarification is needed before merge.

@rootsongjc @archlitchi
this is a direct translation of the current chinese protocol.md to keep it high level and simple for beginners..CodeRabbit suggests refining the kubelet Allocate mechanism and expanding the annotation definitions matching gpu-virtualization.md

would you prefer keeping this doc concise and high-level or should I add and push the extra technical details?

44-44: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major

Document the correct device allocation component.

Both pages incorrectly state that kube-scheduler invokes the device plugin to mount devices.

  • docs/developers/protocol.md#L44-L44: state that kube-scheduler binds the Pod and the node's kubelet calls Allocate.
  • versioned_docs/version-v2.9.0/developers/protocol.md#L44-L44: apply the same Kubernetes device-plugin correction.

52-54: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major

Align the annotation lifecycle and example state with the canonical contract.

Both pages omit timeout and retention semantics, do not describe per-device removal, and present an empty pending-device annotation without identifying it as the post-allocation state.

  • docs/developers/protocol.md#L52-L54: document Unix timeout semantics, retained allocation records, and incremental removal.
  • docs/developers/protocol.md#L56-L61: label the empty annotation example as post-allocation or show the populated initial state.
  • versioned_docs/version-v2.9.0/developers/protocol.md#L52-L54: apply the same lifecycle corrections.
  • versioned_docs/version-v2.9.0/developers/protocol.md#L56-L61: apply the same example-state correction.

/lgtm

all five annotations are listed now with bind-phase named as the completion signal and both example states shown, and #812 turned out to be a changelog release rather than a docs snapshot so there is no v2.10.0 copy to sync.
