GPU event notifications (thermal throttling, ECC errors, XID) #9

Description

@pmady

Add a tool or MCP notification mechanism that reports GPU hardware events.

Requirements:

  • New tool: get_gpu_events — returns recent GPU events
  • Track thermal throttling events via nvml.DeviceGetViolationStatus()
  • Track ECC errors via nvml.DeviceGetTotalEccErrors()
  • Track XID errors via nvml.DeviceGetXidErrors() (if available)
  • Return events with timestamps, severity, and affected device

Why this matters:

  • Agents can proactively alert on hardware degradation
  • Thermal throttling explains sudden performance drops
  • ECC errors indicate memory reliability issues

Difficulty: Hard — requires understanding NVML event APIs and potentially background polling
