Since the build CPU cap (issue 1806) shanks' mesh-build-go kept capacity 3 inside a 12-core slice:
three full checks got about 4 cores each and ran past the 30-minute step bound (issue 1890).
The puller now judges by min(configured, floor(slice quota cores / cores-per-step)), the quota
read live from its cgroup, says it on change and writes capacity.<node> to the pauses state.
A run's phases (fetch and merge, digest, tests) are logged with the ask id and written to its
running step key; Asker.Wait hands every step value to a WithStepSeen hook.
g14's Go builder sat idle at capacity 2 while delivery builds waited: a puller
with no room waited on its wake alone, which only a pause, a resume or a step's
end gives, and it read its capacity from the settings file only when woken.
The puller now follows the module's config value capacity through the
runtime's watch of what mesh-config resolved (stdio.WatchConfig), uses the
value it hands, and wakes on each change: no timer, no file watch, and no wait
for the node-engine to fill the file again. It says when it parks and when it
wakes, with its capacity.
