Default to nvml strategy when platform cannot be detected

elezar · claude · elezar · commit 6ca73d9e536e · 2026-04-15T10:40:00.000+02:00
When the device discovery strategy is "auto" but no supported platform
is detected, default to "nvml" instead of returning the unresolved
"auto" value. Log a warning so that the fallback is visible in the
device plugin output.
