No official figure published for: minimum RAM, minimum CPU cores, recommended CPU cores

Only a RAM recommendation is published, no minimum (Defect Class #2). No core-count CPU figure exists; the only CPU requirement is an instruction-set floor: "CPU must support SSE 4.2 or NEON instruction set or higher (required by ClickHouse)" — this excludes some older ARM boards but isn't a core count, so both CPU fields ship as no_official_figure.

We publish nothing we can't source. Evidence of the gap.
