No official figure published for: minimum RAM, minimum CPU cores
quickstart.rst publishes only a per-agent-count hardware table (1-25 / 25-50 / 50-100 agents) explicitly labeled 'the recommended hardware for a quickstart deployment' — no distinct minimum figure exists anywhere in the docs. The 1-25 tier is a recommended worked example, not a documented floor (Odoo/Wazuh precedent: never promote a worked example into minimum).
We publish nothing we can't source. Evidence of the gap.
