Subject: [PATCH] chore(helm): right-size resource requests/limits per cluster
 telemetry

Drop requests to match observed peak usage and widen CPU limits for
burst headroom (Burstable QoS). Backend, web, Postgres, and Dragonfly
all had requests == limits pinned at defaults well above measured
7-day peaks.

- backend: req 100m/128Mi -> 50m/64Mi, lim 100m/128Mi -> 200m/128Mi
- web:     req 100m/128Mi -> 50m/96Mi, lim 100m/128Mi -> 200m/128Mi
- postgres (CNPG): req 50m/256Mi -> 15m/128Mi, lim 200m/512Mi -> 100m/256Mi
- dragonfly: req 100m/128Mi -> 100m/72Mi, lim 100m/128Mi -> 150m/128Mi

RAM limits unchanged where reasonable to preserve OOM protection;
Dragonfly CPU request kept at 100m (peak 74m) but limit raised to
avoid throttling under brief bursts.
