This release introduces comprehensive recording management with automatic orphan recovery, corrupted‑file cleanup, and improved recording configuration.

🎬 Recording Management & Orphan Recovery

✨ New Features

Automatic Orphan Recovery

• Startup Recovery: Automatically scans for recordings on disk that are missing from the database and imports them 30 seconds after backend startup.
• Manual Recovery: A new “Recover Orphaned Recordings” button is available under
  Settings → Maintenance for on‑demand recovery.
• Thumbnail Generation: Missing thumbnails are automatically generated during recovery.

Corrupted Video Cleanup

• Automatic Detection: Identifies incomplete or corrupted video files (e.g., missing moov atom, zero duration).
• Auto‑Cleanup: Removes corrupted files from both disk and database.
• Deleted Camera Cleanup: Files belonging to removed cameras are automatically purged.

Maximum Movie Length Configuration

• Slider UI: New slider for configuring max_movie_length (range: 1–5 minutes).
• Smart Defaults: New cameras default to 120 seconds (2 minutes).
• Auto‑Correction: Invalid values (0 or >300) are automatically corrected.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Thumbnail Deletion: Thumbnails now delete correctly when removing events from the timeline.
• Clone Settings: Cloning settings no longer overwrites the camera’s active/disabled status.
• Missing Thumbnails: Recovered recordings now properly generate thumbnails.

🔒 Security

• Admin‑only endpoint for orphan recovery with 5‑minute rate limiting.
• Strict path validation prevents directory traversal in all file operations.
• Audit logging added for administrative actions.
• All changes reviewed to ensure no new vulnerabilities were introduced.

📋 Technical Changes
