Frank 31908c623f feat(observability): per-container metrics via cadvisor + Containers dashboard
Per-container CPU/memory was invisible for the quadlet app stack — Grafana could
only see the host (node_exporter) and the LLM engines. This adds a rootless
cadvisor quadlet on each host and a `containers` dashboard.

cadvisor works on this rootless-Podman / cgroup-v2 host on one condition:
--cgroupns=host. Podman starts every container in a private cgroup namespace, so
without it cadvisor sees only its own cgroup root and exports a single series
(measured 2026-10-20: 1 series off, 996 on). The libpod socket does not name the
rootless app containers (it resolved 2 of 34), so naming comes from elsewhere:
the quadlet unit name is carried in the cgroup path
(app.slice/<name>.service/libpod-payload-<hex>), and Prometheus relabels it into
a `container` label. No podman socket needed.

cadvisor cannot bind per-interface like node_exporter, so each unit is a bridge
container publishing exactly 127.0.0.1:8080 and the host LAN address — never a
wildcard. Prometheus (a bridge container) reaches a host-published port at the
LAN address, so cadvisor-dankclaw/dankserver scrape 192.168.0.143:8080 /
192.168.0.235:8080. Only the families cadvisor actually exports for these
containers are graphed — CPU usage, memory working-set/limit, OOM — not network
or filesystem, which are absent under the host-PID layout.

Wired through the deployer (allowlist, deploy_observability case + /healthz gate,
dispatcher), the planner (both targets), and observability_quadlet.bats.

# One metric namespace: llamacpp:* — frank-dragoon, frank-zealot and
# frank-archon, all llama.cpp with /metrics (the family verified from
# /metrics on 2026-09-16 and 2026-09-20) and all exporting
# requests_deferred (the queue depth, the only form llama.cpp shows the
# capacity wall in), spec_decode_num_drafts_total, tokens_predicted_total,
# and the prompt_tokens_cached_total / prompt_tokens_total reuse pair.
#
# frank-dragoon and frank-zealot are scraped over host.containers.internal,
# not their own LAN addresses: this Prometheus is a bridge-networked
# container (Network=dankclaw_default), and on this netavark host a
# container can only reach the host's LAN IP at a PUBLISHED port — a
# host-process bind like llama-server's 0.0.0.0:7770 is refused at
# 192.168.0.143:7770 while it answers at 169.254.1.2:7770. That is
# why frank-zealot was red here for days (up{job="frank-zealot"} == 0,
# "dial tcp 192.168.0.143:7771") even though the endpoint was healthy and
# exporting: the target address was unreachable by construction, not the
# service down. Same host, same rule, so both local endpoints use the
# gateway.
#
# (2026-10-05) frank-archon LEFT the llamacpp family with FreeToken
# (the PR587 ROCm engine then serving it had NO /metrics — the job
# scraped 404s forever, a structural never-green) and RE-JOINED the same
# day on the radiance engine: its exporter speaks vLLM-compatible names
# plus radiance:* families, a different namespace — hence the separate
# job below, not a re-add to the llamacpp pair. The netavark quirk above
# is same-host only; plain LAN routing REACHES 192.168.0.235:7770.
