Add docs/operations/system-memory-limits.md, recording why system components carry memory limits. That reasoning is not recoverable from the values themselves, and is exactly the kind of thing a well-meaning later change removes as redundant. The Talos userspace OOM handler (v1.12+, enabled by default) selects its victim by ranking cgroups that lack memory.max. Three consequences are each easy to get wrong on their own: only a limit grants immunity, since a request merely moves BestEffort to Burstable and under strictCgroupClassOrdering that means "killed second"; every container in the pod needs one, init containers included, because kubelet sets pod-level memory.max only when all of them have it; and PriorityClass, system-node-critical included, has no bearing on it whatsoever, because the handler walks cgroupfs and holds no Kubernetes client. That last one is the trap, since setting a priority looks like a fix. The page also covers the two installer knobs and the constraint that makes them dangerous to lower (a defaulted limit below a container's own request fails admission), how to confirm a pod cgroup really carries memory.max rather than trusting the QoS class, what is deliberately left uncovered, and how to relax the global-PSI backstop clause of the trigger on a cluster that trips it persistently. Every Talos claim is checked against the siderolabs/talos v1.13.6 tag, which is the version packages/core/talos currently ships, and every Cozystack claim against the tree. Ordering: this documents behaviour introduced by the system-namespace LimitRange and the node-DaemonSet resource changes, so it should not merge ahead of them.
