romm OOM storm on demo-hp: fixed, measured, closed (R-635)

Found because the operator heard the fans. romm 5.3.0 was promoted that morning; the update read `done` and the app ran clean for two hours, then OOM-crash-looped for six - 4530 worker SIGKILLs, ~500% CPU, host load 5.2 while otherwise idle, and nothing alarmed. Raising the limit to 768M was still a guess and fixed nothing (memory.peak hit exactly 768 MiB). Measured instead: ~216 MiB per warm uvicorn worker, so the image's default of 4 workers needs ~882 MiB. /init reads WEB_SERVER_CONCURRENCY; set to 2. Proven under load, not just at idle: 26,645 requests over 300 s, memory 416-614 MiB against 768, trending down, zero SIGKILLs, OOMKilled false. Idle CPU 500% -> 1.64%. The first soak measured nothing - it was pointed at the scratch-guest subdomain, every request 404'd at traefik in 9 ms, and the counter reported 14,026 successes. Positive and negative controls are now asserted before any load is driven. Carried into R-462: `proven` has meant "the update applied and the data survived", not "the new version runs".

+"""romm_soak.py — drive real usage at romm on demo-hp and watch whether the fix holds.

+Every request goes through the HOUSEHOLD'S OWN ROUTE (traefik, `Host: arcade.<domain>`), never at
+the container directly, so what is measured is what a person's browser would actually cause.
+
+The number that matters is not the peak alone but **peak against the limit with the OOM counter
+still at zero**, because this failure announces itself as worker kills, not as a slow page.
