The Smart Fades audio-analysis provider added in MA 2.9 loads an ML model
and reads the pod cgroup memory limit to gate startup. At the current 2Gi
limit it refuses to run:
Provider(instance) Smart Fades can not run on this system: at least 4GB
of RAM is required (2.0GB detected).
so the provider shows 'requires attention' / RECONFIGURE in the UI.
Loudness Analysis (lightweight) is unaffected. CPU/AVX2 (x86-64-v3) and the
2-core minimum are already met; RAM is the sole blocker.
Upstream recommends 6GB+ and warns the 4GB minimum risks OOM under load.
k8s-edge is a 12GB VM currently using ~4GB, so set the limit to the
recommended 6Gi (request bumped 512Mi->1Gi). On next reconcile MA restarts
and Smart Fades passes the requirement check.
