+"""gpu-exporter: unified per-GPU metrics for a mixed AMD/NVIDIA host.
+
+Emits the `gpu_*` Prometheus families the host-system dashboard graphs:
+
+    gpu_utilization_percent  gpu_memory_used_bytes  gpu_memory_total_bytes
+    gpu_temperature_celsius  gpu_power_watts
+
+each labelled {gpu, vendor, model}. The scrape job adds `host`.
+
+Two sources, both host-native — no container, no GPU passthrough:
+
+  * AMD (R9700s, the 8060S iGPU, the Raphael display GPU): the amdgpu sysfs tree.
+    Utilization comes ONLY from gpu_busy_percent — amd-smi reports gfx_busy_inst
+    as N/A on gfx1201 (verified 2026-10-20). VRAM is already bytes, temperature
+    is milli-degrees, power is micro-watts. Crucially power1_average is EMPTY on
+    the R9700s, so those cards legitimately have no gpu_power_watts line; a
+    missing file becomes an ABSENT metric, never a fabricated 0 that a dashboard
+    would plot as a real reading.
+
+  * NVIDIA (the RTX 3090 on Dankclaw): one `nvidia-smi --query-gpu` CSV. On
+    Dankserver there is an nvidia-smi binary but no NVIDIA GPU, so the command
+    fails; that is tolerated and simply yields no NVIDIA series.
+
+Default mode prints one scrape to stdout and exits (the test harness, and any
+`service ... --oneshot` one-off). `--serve` binds the HTTP endpoint for
+Prometheus; it binds EXPLICITLY (loopback + the host LAN address), never a
+wildcard, matching node-exporter's posture on these boxes.

+  emits unified `gpu_*` families (utilization %, VRAM used/total bytes, temperature
+  °C, power W) labelled `gpu` / `vendor` / `model`, with `host` added by the scrape
