perf(ci): move the three light-run pole jobs to 32 vCPU runners (#109695)

* perf(ci): move the three light-run pole jobs to 32 vCPU runners

check-lint (~186s oxlint shards), check-dependencies (~157s concurrent
knip), and build-artifacts (~126s tsdown+checks) are the critical path of
every light PR run; all three parallelize with cores at similar billed
core-minutes. Guard test updated.

* test: align prerelease-plan guard with the 32 vCPU check-dependencies row
