The other three disabled subcharts (alertmanager/kube-state-metrics/
pushgateway) stay off — none of them do anything cAdvisor's per-container
metrics don't already cover for this deployment's actual purpose.
node-exporter is different: it's the one thing here that would report on
the node itself (disk, memory, load) rather than any particular
container, which matters on an 8GB single node already near its ceiling.
One DaemonSet pod, hostNetwork rather than a Service, resources capped
at 32Mi/64Mi — light enough that turning it on doesn't meaningfully
touch the budget the other three would have.
Verified with `helm template`: the DaemonSet renders with hostNetwork/
hostPID true and the trimmed resources, and its Service carries the
`prometheus.io/scrape: true` annotation the server's already-enabled
kubernetes-service-endpoints job picks up automatically — no separate
scrape config needed.
