Publishes a worked account of the zram reserve-accounting fix: logical swap capacity was charged as physical RAM, creating a false overcommit alert and an unnecessary operator request. Covers the corrected counter, the measured headroom, the limits of the admission estimate, and explicit healthy-event propagation.

Includes the generated Open Graph image. Verified against the implementation and incident record, independently reviewed for factual accuracy and privacy, and cross-checked against Linux kernel documentation.

Validation: full Jekyll build passed; scoped source frontmatter, links, and redaction passed; desktop/mobile rendering and OG image inspected. The underlying fix's 105-test result is historical evidence, not a new test run in this documentation PR.

This PR adds a new blog post documenting a fix to a host-memory monitor's zram accounting, where logical swap capacity was being counted as physical RAM. The post explains the corrected use of the mem_used_total counter, presents a worked example and live probe readings, and describes adding an explicit healthy-event recovery record to the alert path. It also adds a generated Open Graph image asset.
