Description

Currently clients need to handle resource creation themselves (e.g. "give me this huggingface resource so I can run my test." This means they have to know the implementation details of the resource they need and we can't easily manage resource allocation, queuing, turning resources off when not needed, etc.

Investigate a proxy that would handle those things for clients, so they can just hit the proxy with a unified interface, and the proxy would handle the details.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the current client-side resource creation and allocation flow. Define the proxy's unified interface and lifecycle requirements, with completion being an agreed implementation plan or prototype that covers queuing, allocation, and shutting resources down.
