It now checks whether memory is available using three possible states. When the policy state is \"held\", building the index is skipped with the reason `policy_pending` rather than the general reason `unavailable`.\n\n**Why**\n\nWaiting on a policy is now reported separately from memory being truly unavailable. This makes the cause clearer to anyone reading the reason."}
