My understanding is that Jenkinsfile execution runs as a flyweight node on master, but then uses heavyweight nodes on the given node label to execute.
Per this file: https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-plugin/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md Why are there two executors consumed by one Pipeline build? - Every Pipeline build itself runs on the master, using a flyweight executor — an uncounted slot that is assumed to not take any significant computational power. - This executor represents the actual Groovy script, which is almost always idle, waiting for a step to complete. - Flyweight executors are always available.
