Records in the Autoscaler section that halving a 2 CPU, 7Gi runner pod to 1 CPU was measured and not taken: with the ceiling worked out per node (#121), memory then decided on both nodes of the pool it was measured on, so it bought one runner (5 to 6) against throttling every job that keeps more than one core busy, with no CPU history to weigh that by. Revisit triggers: CPU history exists, one more runner is worth the throttling, or a node with too few cores for the larger pod needs a 1 CPU pod to take work.

The ceiling is the tighter of CPU and memory per node, so a smaller
CPU request raises it only where CPU decides. Records the measured
case where halving it bought one runner against throttling every
multi-core job, and when to revisit it.
