Current Behavior

The rise after the restart probably comes from people using the app at 10PM. But the memory usage keeps climbing well after users go to sleep.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported memory growth on the QA site at https://casa-qa.herokuapp.com/, using the listed sign-in routes and user roles while monitoring usage over time. No source file or test is named, so trace the production behavior to the responsible application area and document a reproducible case; done means memory no longer keeps climbing after activity stops.
