Claim support

No independent claim-support receipt is recorded. Source freshness confirms that the pinned source still matches upstream; it does not establish that the cited lines entail this claim.

Does not establish

  • the metric value for any workload
  • a recommended threshold for running requests
  • metric stability in later vLLM releases

Guards

  • vllm_version = v0.23.0
  • metric_name = vllm:num_requests_running
  • runtime_component = scheduler

Pinned release-tag source snapshot; re-check if target phase-1 release changes or metrics API compatibility becomes customer-facing.
