init_npu_python_runtime() ran _npu_setDevice on the first visible logical device for every NPU process. In multi-process single-card serving each process sees all TP cards and selects its own via node_rank, so every node_rank != 0 process created an extra small context on die0 before its worker ran on the real card, piling ~112MB per rank onto die0. Select the target device with the same get_device_idx logic used by the Master constructor so each process initializes its context on its own card.
