Add CAPACITY-GOALS.md (80% RAM / ~50% idle CPU targets + workload placement
model) and AUDIT-2026-07-29.md (live end-to-end analysis of all 7 hosts). Key
findings: memory goal met fleet-wide (highest 72%); CPU idles 0-6% (chase via
workloads, not hardware); tsys5 is single-CPU not dual; cnode4/5 are stale
running VMs. Answers the wnode-sizing question (grow tsys9, not tsys1), confirms
tsys6/7 for RackRental, and gives a DDR3 compatibility decision tree (RDIMM-only
servers reject consumer UDIMM). Refreshed STATUS/docmap and the returned audit
logs, and fixed an empty-array abort in deploy-check.sh.

Architecture
- Proxmox hosts: 7 standalone PVE installs managed via PDM
- DNS: Technitium (authoritative) + Pi-hole (recursive) on pfv-netinfra-01/02
- NTP: pfv-netinfra-01/02 (redundant, LAN IPs, stratum 2/3)
- Production: Cloudron VPS in Reston VA (this cluster is R&D only)
- Backups: Proxmox Backup Server (PBS)
