-Six always-on instances absorb normal PR traffic (the pool's steady-state load is one serial standby job per master push, so failover capacity is effectively the full pool). If queues still build, register additional instances with an org registration token (org Settings → Actions → Runners → New runner). Clone an existing runner directory **excluding its identity files** — `rsync -a --exclude '.runner' --exclude '.credentials*' --exclude '_diag' --exclude '_work' <src>/ <dst>/` — then run `config.sh`; copying `.runner`/`.credentials` verbatim makes `config.sh` refuse with "already configured". About a minute per instance.

+Six always-on instances absorb normal PR traffic (the pool's steady-state load is one serial standby job per master push, so failover capacity is effectively the full pool). If queues still build, register additional instances with an org registration token (org Settings → Actions → Runners → New runner). Clone an existing runner directory **excluding its identity files** — `rsync -a --exclude '.runner' --exclude '.credentials*' --exclude '_diag' --exclude '_work' <src>/ <dst>/` — then run `config.sh`; copying `.runner`/`.credentials` verbatim makes `config.sh` refuse with "already configured". `config.sh` only registers the instance — it starts no listener, so a runner that stops there is registered and offline, adding no capacity. Install and start its service too: `sudo ./svc.sh install <user> && sudo ./svc.sh start` (this pool is systemd-managed; a foreground `./run.sh` also works but dies with the shell). Confirm the instance reports Idle in org Settings → Actions → Runners before counting it. About a minute per instance.
