"""Regression: MlxModelRunnerStub must honor --max-running-requests instead of
hardcoding min(pool // 2, 4096). The stub previously ignored the flag, so MLX
concurrency silently diverged from what the user requested (and from CUDA).
On hybrid / linear-attention models the resolved concurrency must additionally
be backed by the auxiliary-state pool: each running request allocates one slot
out of max_mamba_cache_size, so an unbounded cap made the third request die
with "Not enough MLX auxiliary state slots" (AssertionError inside the
scheduler) when max_running_requests=4 was backed by max_mamba_cache_size=2.
Guards `_resolve_max_running_requests` (mirroring the base resolver's capacity
clamp, dp split, mamba bound, and zero-reject) plus the hybrid `initialize()`
and request-allocation path. MLX-gated because importing the stub pulls in
mlx.core.
