Subject: [PATCH] Increase Prometheus and Loki data retention
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Prometheus: 15d → 10y (3650d), PVC 20Gi → 200Gi
Loki: 31d (744h) → 365d (8760h), PVC 20Gi → 50Gi

Indri has 1.6 TB free on the minikube backing disk — the previous
15-day Prometheus retention was losing valuable long-term metrics data.
