- PR #133521: fix(gateway): sample_memory() measures on Windows and macOS via psutil

A bug was identified where sample_memory() returns empty results on macOS (and Windows), causing kanban memory guards to have no effect. These members address fixing memory measurement and restoring guard functionality across platforms.
