Ryan Yin db953c0504 feat(idols-ai): enable zswap with zstd and 10% pool
Compressed writeback cache in front of the disk swapfile keeps cold anon
pages in RAM instead of the SSD, freeing page cache for the ~78GB mmap'd
LLM weights. zstd's ratio keeps ~5G more anon bytes in the capped pool
than lz4 at negligible cost (CPU peaks ~30% on this host); pool capped at
10% so it never competes with the weight cache.
