Subject: [PATCH] feat: add CPU load alert, lower disk/RAM thresholds
 (SCALE-04)

- Add CpuLoad alert rule: fires when 5min load > 2x core count
- Lower disk usage alert from 90% to 80%
- Lower RAM usage alert from 90% to 80%
- Add num_cpus dependency for runtime core detection

 - [x] **SCALE-03** — Added app tier system in backend. `get_app_tier()` in docker_packages.rs classifies apps as "core" (Bitcoin+LND+Electrs+Mempool+BTCPay+DWN+FileBrowser), "recommended" (Fedimint+Grafana+Vaultwarden+Kuma+SearXNG+Tailscale+Portainer), or "optional" (everything else). Tier field added to Manifest struct in data_model.rs, exposed via WebSocket package data to frontend.
 
-- [ ] **SCALE-04** — Add resource monitoring alerts for scale limits. Alert when: total container memory > 80% of system RAM, CPU load > 2x core count sustained for 5 min, disk > 80%. These proactive alerts prevent scale-related failures. **Acceptance**: Alerts fire at correct thresholds. Tested on both nodes.
+- [x] **SCALE-04** — Added resource monitoring alerts in monitoring/mod.rs. Lowered disk threshold to 80% (was 90%). Lowered RAM threshold to 80% (was 90%). Added CpuLoad alert type: fires when 5-min load average > threshold × core count (default threshold: 2.0). Uses num_cpus crate for core detection.
