 - **Inotify headroom APPLIED 2026-09-03** (#755, founder-approved): `fs.inotify.max_user_instances` 128→1024 + `max_user_watches` →1048576 in the same sysctl file, after containerd/dockerd died of inotify exhaustion (full fleet resync 09:13–09:51). Runtime-applied, no daemon restarts; error stream dry from 10:08. OOM fail set complete: thefnf/grafana/projects bumped (1G/1G/1.5G), zero OOMs post-recovery.
+- **Swap 4G→8G APPLIED 2026-09-03** (#755, founder-approved): second swapfile `/apps.swap2` (4G, fstab-persisted, same-priority family) alongside the original `/apps.swap` — no swapoff, no restart, live `free -h` shows 8.0Gi. Idempotent applier: `perf/swap/grow-swap2.sh`. Headroom for the Monday app push.
