Description
### Description of the bug:
We have a test target like this:
```bzl
foo_test(
name = "foo",
exec_group_compatible_with = {
"test": ["//:some_gpu_requirement"],
}
...
)
```
When developers compile on CPU machines, where the host platform _does not_ have the `//:some_gpu_requirement`, but a register remote execution platform does have the constraint, I believe dynamic execution ignores this difference, and still attempts to race the test locally, even though it doesn't match the requirements.
I can probably workaround this by disabling dynamic execution for the `TestRunner` mnemonic, but I'm still surprised by this behavior.
If I `aquery` the test I can see the execution platform is set correctly, but then you can see it still runs locally with `--debug_spawn_scheduler`

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the test target with exec_group_compatible_with and compare dynamic execution logs from --debug_spawn_scheduler with the execution platform shown by aquery. Trace the TestRunner mnemonic and constraint handling, then verify that a local branch is not started when the local platform lacks the required constraint; no source files or tests are named in the issue.
