Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating where nodebuilder sets -maxconnections and surfaces the system-limit warning, then reproduce the reduction on NetBSD or an equivalent constrained environment. Done means the warning is suppressed through a generic mechanism that does not hard-code NetBSD, while connection limits still behave correctly.
