### Environment

- Network: blockblaz/zeam:devnet3
- Commit: `be6c432ba14b44025b7f49c6e2d400a4cb555fde`
- Start time: 2026-03-09 15:29:40
- Head slot at time of observation: ~15958
- Latest finalized slot: 2687

### Impact

Memory pressure at this level risks OOM kills and instability during longer devnet runs. Needs investigation into potential memory leaks or unbounded growth (possibly in block/state caching, attestation pool, or historical data retention).
