Mike Reeves	2d97dfc8a1	Add customizable ulimit settings for all Docker containers Add ulimits as a configurable advanced setting for every container, allowing customization through the web UI. Move hardcoded ulimits from elasticsearch and zeek into defaults.yaml and fix elasticsearch ulimits that were incorrectly nested under the environment key.

Replace all cp313 wheels with cp314 builds (pyyaml 6.0.3, charset_normalizer 3.4.6) across all 14 analyzers and update the CI python-test workflow to match.	2026-03-16 18:58:23 -04:00
