### What changes were proposed in this PR?
**Root cause.** The frontend `start` script runs `ng serve` on Node's
default V8 heap. Node auto-sizes that limit from available RAM — on an 8
GB machine it's only ~2.2 GB — and `ng serve` exceeds it during a build,
crashing with `FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit — JavaScript heap out of
memory`. Because the script uses `concurrently --kill-others`, the crash
also tears down the y-websocket process, and the dev server does not
recover without a manual restart. The `build` script already passes
`--max-old-space-size=8192`, so only the dev server was affected — an
inconsistency between the two.

**Fix.** Give `ng serve` the same heap ceiling the production build
already uses, by invoking Node directly on the CLI entry point (the `ng`
wrapper can't forward the flag):

One-line change to `frontend/package.json`. No effect on developers with
16 GB+ RAM (their default heap was already large enough, which is why
this went unnoticed); it simply removes the crash on lower-RAM machines.

### How was this PR tested?
Reproduced and verified on an 8 GB-RAM machine:

- **Before:** `yarn start` (→ `ng serve`) crashed with `Reached heap
limit — JavaScript heap out of memory`, with V8 topping out around ~2040
MB. On this machine it failed on the **initial** build ("Generating
browser application bundles"), not only on incremental rebuilds — so the
dev server never even reached a serving state.
- **After:** with the heap flag, `yarn start` compiles to "Compiled
successfully" and serves `localhost:4200`, and editing/saving a template
no longer crashes it.

No env-var workaround (`NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=…`) is needed
anymore — the script carries the limit itself.
