- Fix MemoryUsageTracker: remove premature bufferPool.Clear() that prevented
mem.Alloc from decreasing, replace broken ForceFree loop (100 iterations
with no GC) with progressive time-based Free at 75%/50%/25% retention,
add bufferPool.Clear()+GC between steps so memory stats update correctly
- Enable debug.FreeOSMemory() after emergency freeing to return memory to OS
- Add adaptive ticker: 30s checks when memory >80% of cap, normal otherwise
- Reduce default memory check interval from 1h to 5min
- Don't abort entire NATS batch on single write error (out-of-order timestamp),
log warning and continue processing remaining lines
- Prune empty levels from tree after free() to reduce overhead
- Include buffer struct overhead in sizeInBytes() for more accurate reporting
