Description

Automatic unit conversion for memory metrics via bytes2human in stats.py Memory class:

       display_themed_value(
            theme_data=memory_stats_theme_data['VIRTUAL']['USED'],
            value=f"{bytes2human(sensors.Memory.virtual_used(), '%(value).1f %(symbol)s')}",
            min_size=6
        )
        display_themed_value(
            theme_data=memory_stats_theme_data['VIRTUAL']['FREE'],
            value=f"{bytes2human(sensors.Memory.virtual_free(), '%(value).1f %(symbol)s')}",
            min_size=6
        )
        display_themed_value(
            theme_data=memory_stats_theme_data['VIRTUAL']['TOTAL'],
            value=f"{bytes2human(sensors.Memory.virtual_free() + sensors.Memory.virtual_used(), '%(value).1f %(symbol)s')}",
            min_size=6
        )```

Research direction

Start in stats.py at the Memory class and inspect how the virtual memory metrics are currently passed to display_themed_value. Check the existing bytes2human usage and apply the requested automatic conversion consistently to virtual used, free, and total values. Done means these memory metrics display human-readable units automatically.
