Calculate root demand per candidate pool.

main() computes one global root_jobs value before choose() selects a pool. choose() and pick() pass and apply that scalar value to every owned candidate. Final placement uses the selected pool's own GUI label. A GUI runner in one pool can therefore reduce root demand for another pool and cause avoidable Blacksmith fallback.

Calculate root demand per candidate, or recalculate it from the selected pool before accepting the choice. This is a localized change with meaningful routing benefit.

Review comment at @scripts/ci/pr_runner_pool.py at line 2343:
Update root-job demand handling in main(), choose(), and pick() so the demand
used for each candidate is calculated from that candidate’s GUI label, rather
than applying one global root_jobs value across pools. Ensure final placement
and pool selection use the same pool-specific demand.

Gate side routing on a live side label without changing fallback behavior.

When live_runners is available, routing_slots() counts pool, root, and GUI labels, but not side labels. A pool with one root runner and one GUI runner can therefore make side_runner() emit a side label that no runner carries.

Apply the side-label check only to live routing. Keep the pool-minus-root calculation when the runner list is unavailable because CI_OWNED_POOL_SLOTS represents side capacity that way.

Review comment at @scripts/ci/pr_runner_pool.py at line 2397:
Update routing_slots() to count side labels when building live routing capacity,
and update side_runner() to require an available side label only when live
runner data is present. Preserve the existing pool-minus-root calculation when
live runner data is unavailable, and pass live-runner availability from the
routing call site into side_runner().
