Verified Blueprint MongoDB 8.0+

Production MongoDB 8.0 mongod.conf tuned for WiredTiger cache sizing, Zstandard block/journal compression, and workingMillis profiling.

✓ Cuts NVMe storage footprint and disk read I/O by 50-65% with WiredTiger zstd block and journal compression
✓ Leaves explicit headroom above cacheSizeGB for connection stacks, sort stages, and OS filesystem cache
✓ Profiles slow queries > 100ms capturing MongoDB 8.0 workingMillis vs ticket queue latency
