<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Reclaims available RAM by clearing working sets and purging standby cache pools.
.DESCRIPTION
    Trims process working set memory allocations, purges system cache pools,
    executes full garbage collection, and calculates exact RAM reclaimed.
    Idempotent and safe to run multiple times.
