Jeff Emmett 812c3cb0e9 fix(bcrg-diagrams): IPv4 healthcheck + right-size mem_limit 1g->64m
Healthcheck probed http://localhost/, which resolves to ::1 inside the
container; nginx listens IPv4-only (0.0.0.0:80), so the probe got
Connection refused and the container showed unhealthy despite serving
traffic fine. Point it at 127.0.0.1.

Also drop mem_limit 1g -> 64m: a static nginx:alpine site idles at
~6-16MB, so 1GB was ~60x oversized. 64m leaves 4x headroom.
