+// every interface. Inside the container it didn't matter (no host port
+// mapping today), but a future change that publishes 9100 OR a cross-host
+// sidecar deploy would have exposed an unauth'd memory store. Loopback by
+// default is the least-privilege baseline; operators with a multi-host
+// topology override via MEMORY_PLUGIN_LISTEN_ADDR.
