"""Dry-run ``numactl <args> true`` and fall back to a weaker binding when the

``configure_subprocess`` applies NUMA binding by exec-ing ``numactl`` in front
of the Python interpreter (see ``_create_numactl_executable``), so a binding
that ``numactl`` refuses kills the worker before Python starts, with no
traceback. ``_can_set_mempolicy`` only probes ``get_mempolicy(2)`` (read),
which does not catch ``set_mempolicy(2)`` being denied (e.g. by a seccomp
profile) or a ``--membind`` that the cpuset rejects with ``EINVAL``.
To avoid that silent crash we probe the requested args and progressively relax
the *memory* policy while keeping the CPU binding intact::
--membind=N -> --preferred=N -> drop the memory segment
Returns ``(args, last_stderr)``: ``args`` is the strongest binding that
actually runs, or ``None`` if even CPU-only fails (or ``numactl`` is missing /
errors out); ``last_stderr`` is the rejection reason numactl printed for the
strongest binding that was rejected (empty on success), so the caller can
surface it on the total-failure path.
