Assign runner size labels to match actual workload needs: - install.yml: small (8 vCPU) -- just downloads pre-built tarballs - consolidate.yml: medium (16 vCPU) -- mksquashfs is genuinely multi-threaded - adhoc-command.yml: size dropdown (default small) -- most ad-hoc commands are lightweight - bespoke-build.yaml: size dropdown (default large) -- full compiler compilations 🤖 Generated by LLM (Claude, via OpenClaw)

Summary
Assigns runner size labels to four infra workflows based on their actual resource needs, now that ce-ci supports small (8 vCPU) and medium (16 vCPU) tiers alongside the existing large (32 vCPU) runners.
