+# Sized for this server (3.8 GiB, two cores; both wikis, Gitea, Nexus, CI). Since #151 an idle guest
+# halts (1% of a core at the prompt, was 100%), so a session costs CPU only while its visitor runs
+# something. All sessions together get 1.5 cores at the lowest priority (Captain Bob, 2026-11-08):
+# one busy visitor a full core, two busy at once three-quarters each, and half a core always left
+# to the wikis and Gitea. 1 GiB holds two sessions (~150 MB resident each) with room. Raise both
+# with the server (8 GB: MemoryMax=2G, CPUQuota=200% or more).
