HOURS_VALUES = jnp.array(...) was a module-level JAX array: importing the model materialized it on the default device, and under XLA_PYTHON_CLIENT_PREALLOCATE=true that first array op reserved 95% of device 0 in every importing process — including the MSM estimation's pytask orchestrator, which only sruns GPU ranks and must leave the devices free. The orchestrator thus starved the rank's pool reservation (the device-0 OOM). Made it a host (NumPy) array, converted to JAX at the indexing sites. No numerical change.

The module-level `HOURS_VALUES = jnp.array(...)` materialized on the default
device at import. With XLA_PYTHON_CLIENT_PREALLOCATE=true that first array op
reserves 95% of device 0 in every process that imports the model — including
the MSM estimation's pytask orchestrator, which only `srun`s GPU ranks and
must leave the devices free for them. The orchestrator thus starved the rank's
pool reservation, surfacing as the device-0 OOM.

Make HOURS_VALUES a host (NumPy) array, converted to JAX at the indexing sites
where the value folds into the surrounding compiled function. No numerical change.

The three leisure functions returned a raw `time_endowment - losses` with no
floor, so once work costs reached the endowment leisure went to zero or
negative and fed a non-positive base into the CRRA aggregator (NaN utility),
and the kink made the MSM objective non-smooth for the derivative-free
optimizer. A shared `_smooth_leisure_floor` helper applies a scaled softplus
(`smoothing * logaddexp(0, available / smoothing)`, smoothing = 1% of the
endowment) so leisure bends smoothly to 0+ instead. It reduces to
`available` in the bulk, so existing estimates are preserved; the
fixed-cost/reentry parameters stay identified when the optimizer drives them
high.

The softplus leisure floor keeps leisure strictly positive in every
state-action cell, so the `positive_leisure` feasibility constraint never
binds. Remove it from the canwork retiree/nongroup/tied regime builders and
delete the unused `positive_leisure` helper; feasibility is now carried by
the smooth floor in the leisure functions themselves.
