## Title

    Proposed fix: [Redis client in Docker Compose] 'Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379' — app container connects to its own localhost instead of the redis service

## Body

    Recommended action: Point the client at the service name: createClient({ url: 'redis://redis:6379' }) or socket: { host: 'redis' }; ensure both services share the compose network.
    
    Option: Use service name via url or socket.host [evidence: documented_workaround]
    Applies when: Compose/K8s
    Steps:
    1. createClient({ url: process.env.REDIS_URL }) with REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
    Expected: Connection succeeds
