The API doesn't replenish pools immediately if all pool pods are terminated

[wipash]

Description

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Check that KCR is running and executing code properly
2. Terminate all pool-py pods
3. Execute some Python in librechat

Expected Behavior

Python pool pods are immediately restarted after terminating, up to the pool limit

Actual Behavior

No new pool pods are started, execution in librechat times out.
Pool pods are slowly replenished over the next few minutes.

kubecoderun api logs the following when it is replenishing a pod:

{"pod_name": "pool-py-a5de0bf2", "event": "Removing unhealthy pod", "logger": "src.services.kubernetes.pool", "level": "warning", "timestamp": "2026-01-23T01:36:13.925511Z", "service": "kubecoderun-api", "version": "2.1.1"}
