Found by exercising the new ceiling against a live orchestrator:

    max_pods=128  effective_max_pods=8  client_max_pods=8
    client_pods=0  client_lease_expires_in_s=0

The lease had 1800 s left and was the reason the fleet had stopped
growing at 8. `client_lease_expires_in_s` was gated on the FLOOR, which
is 0 for a cap-only lease -- "grow no further than 8, hold nothing warm",
which is what a client with a long tail of work asks for. It now reports
whichever half of the lease lasts longer.
