feat: report container RAM usage to PostHog every 30 minutes

Adds a background loop in run.sh that reads cgroup v2 memory stats
and sends a `ram_usage` event to PostHog EU. This lets us track
real-world memory footprint across releases.

Configurable via RAM_REPORT_INTERVAL env var (defaults to 1800s).
