The scheduling algorithm was not correctly accounting for walltime in this case and scheduled half the required number of nodes.

Pull request overview
Fixes an under-allocation bug in the Slurm scheduler planning logic where sequential batch capacity (“time slots”) was computed using the partition max walltime rather than the actual walltime that would be requested for the allocation under the selected walltime strategy.
Changes:
- Update allocation counting to compute
time_slotsfrom the actual allocation walltime (derived fromWalltimeStrategy), notpartition.max_walltime_secs. - Update/expand HPC scheduler-generation tests to match the corrected allocation math and add a regression test for long-running whole-node jobs.
- Adjust the auto-merge CLI test to explicitly use
--walltime-strategy max-partition-timeso it continues to validate runtime-aware merging behavior.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
src/client/scheduler_plan.rs |
Uses computed allocation walltime for time_slots so allocation counts reflect the requested walltime strategy. |
tests/test_hpc.rs |
Updates expected allocation counts and adds a regression test covering the previously under-allocating long-runtime case. |
tests/test_slurm_commands.rs |
Makes the test’s walltime assumptions explicit via --walltime-strategy max-partition-time. |
