The controller assigns default names (R-1, R-2, ...) and console ports
in request arrival order. A parallel batch fan-out lets thread scheduling
decide that order, so the first submitted node could end up as R-2.
Batches that rely on default naming (any node without a name) are now
created sequentially; batches with explicit names stay parallel. The
node_create tool description documents the ordering semantics and tells
callers to correlate nodes by node_id.
