Review and update minimum RAM requirements in docs
Metadata
Current evaluation
Task to re-evaluate and update the 4GB minimum RAM requirement in release notes and 12-factor tutorials, after feedback that tutorials are slow even at 8GB due to Multipass. Unlabeled, no human activity for ~13 months, docs still state 4GB.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no assignee, and its only comment is the autogenerated Jira-sync bot (CRAFT-4303) — no human triage or acknowledgement. I verified the docs still state 'minimum of 4GB RAM' in 9 release-notes files and 6 tutorial files at HEAD, so the task is still valid and actionable, but it needs a maintainer to decide the realistic minimum and assign the doc updates.

Issue body
### Bug Description
All documents that cover the minimum requirements set the minimum memory at 4GB.
We've received recent feedback from two sources that the tutorials are extremely slow at even 8GB because of Multipass.
We should determine what a more realistic minimum is and update all pages with it.
### To Reproduce
-
### Environment
Machines running Linux.
### charmcraft.yaml
```yaml

```
### Relevant log output
