//! # KV Manager (vLLM Backend)
//! A synchronous implementation of a block manager that handles MoveBlock signals for caching KV blocks.
//!
//! Uses [`HashCache`] for O(1) block lookups with active/inactive pool management.
//!
//! ## Block Operations
//! The KV manager processes four types of MoveBlock signals:
//!
//! ### Use
//! - Checks if block exists in active pool → increment reference count
//! - If in inactive pool → move to active pool
//! - If neither → try evicting from inactive pool to make room
//! - If inactive pool is empty → pre-empt the oldest running request
//!
//! ### Destroy
//! - Removes the block from the active pool
//!
//! ### Deref
//! - Decrements reference count of a block in active pool
//! - If count reaches zero → move block to inactive pool
//!
//! ### Promote
//! - Converts a partial block (uuid) into a full block (global block hash)
//!
//! ## Preemption
//! If a Use operation fails (typically due to insufficient space), a false boolean signal
//! is returned to the scheduler for preemption. Initial KV block allocations for new requests
//! should not fail due to the watermark checking.
//!
//! ## NOTE
//! For simplicity (or non-simplicity), reference counting is tracked manually instead of using
//! the more idiomatic built-in Arc reference counter. This can be considered a shadow / mirror
//! implementation of the main block manager.
