Subject: [PATCH] fix(frontend): raise ng serve heap limit to avoid OOM on
 low-RAM machines

The start script relied on Node's default V8 heap (~2.2 GB on 8 GB RAM),
which ng serve exceeds during (re)builds and crashes with an out-of-memory
error. Mirror the build script's --max-old-space-size=8192 so the dev server
survives on lower-RAM machines.

Closes #6859
