1//! Boot-time memory budget resolver — ADR 0073 §1 made executable.
2//!
3//! Every RedDB process resolves exactly one memory budget at boot. The
4//! precedence chain is first-hit-wins:
5//!
6//! 1. **`config`** — explicit operator configuration: the
7//!    `RedDBOptions::with_memory_budget` startup option, or the
8//!    `REDDB_MEMORY_BUDGET` environment variable when the option is absent.
9//! 2. **`profile-default`** — deployment-profile default. Serverless ships a
10//!    strict default; embedded / primary-replica / cluster fall through to
11//!    host detection.
12//! 3. **`cgroup-v2`** then **`cgroup-v1`** — the container limit.
13//!    A cgroup v2 `memory.max` of `max` (and the v1 "no limit" sentinel)
14//!    means *unlimited*, which falls through rather than resolving.
15//! 4. **`physical-fraction`** — physical RAM times a conservative fraction.
16//!
17//! There is **no unlimited mode**: the absence of configuration means the
18//! detected default, never infinity. Every tier yields a strictly positive
19//! budget, and the resolved budget is immutable for the process lifetime.
20//!
21//! This module deliberately resolves and reports; it neither sizes pools nor
22//! enforces admission. Those are downstream slices that consume the number.
