+// Shared runtime switch for enabling the Intel NPU in OpenVINO code paths.
+//
+// NPU is DISABLED BY DEFAULT because the NPU plugin on some Intel platforms
+// (observed: Core Ultra 9 285K / Arrow Lake) crashes inside
+// ov::Core::compile_model or Ort::Session construction when compiling
+// multiple ONNX models in quick succession. That failure mode cannot be
+// caught by the surrounding try/catch (it fires on a plugin worker thread)
+// and takes down the host process.
+//
+// To opt into NPU (e.g. on a machine with a known-good NPU driver), set the
+// environment variable OPENVINO_ENABLE_NPU to 1 / true / yes / on before
+// launching the host process.
+//
+// Every OpenVINO device-selection site in this codebase consults this helper
+// rather than probing NPU unconditionally.
