Use Valkey instead of Redis
Redis 7.4+ is RSALv2/SSPL and 8.0+ adds AGPLv3. None of the three works for a closed-source commercial cloud service, and SSPL section 13 specifically targets offering the software's functionality as a service, which is what a control plane does. Valkey is BSD-3-Clause, under the Linux Foundation, forked from Redis 7.2.4. Deciding this now rather than after step 3 of PLAN.md stands up real infrastructure makes it free: Valkey speaks the same RESP protocol, so `ioredis` is untouched and only names change. `REDIS_URL` becomes `VALKEY_URL`, the exported client becomes `valkey`, and `/health` reports a `valkey` field. Two things deliberately do not change, documented in place so they are not "fixed" later: the `redis://` URL scheme, which names the wire protocol and is what every client actually parses (none understands `valkey://`), and `ioredis` itself, which is a RESP client whose name refers to the protocol's origin and not to the server we run. docker-compose.yml is new, pinning valkey/valkey:8-alpine alongside pgvector/pgvector:pg17 - the plain postgres image lacks the extension `frame_embeddings` needs. It makes the Valkey choice concrete rather than a note someone has to remember.
