🚀 Release v1.28.0: The AI & Connectivity Update

📝 Summary

VibeNVR v1.28.0 is a major evolution in intelligence and system observability. We've introduced a state-of-the-art Multi-Model AI pipeline, a native MQTT service for seamless Home Assistant integration, and a completely redesigned configuration architecture. This release unifies AI management into a Global Engine Configuration, allowing users to switch between high-accuracy YOLOv8 and lightning-fast MobileNet SSD architectures with real-time engine synchronization.

🛠️ Key Improvements

🤖 Intelligence & Multi-Model Support

• 🎯 YOLOv8 & MobileNet SSD: Native support for multiple TFLite architectures. Choose between YOLOv8 for superior precision or MobileNet SSD v2 for maximum inference speed.
• ⚡ Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS): Implemented intelligent overlap filtering for YOLO models to eliminate redundant bounding boxes.
• 🏗️ Global AI Engine: Migrated AI Model and Hardware selection to centralized System Settings for optimized resource management and engine singleton stability.
• 🔍 Tracking Robustness: Enhanced label readability and implemented Hysteresis (1.0s persistence) to eliminate bounding box flickering during inference.

🔌 Connectivity & Integration

• 📡 Native MQTT Service: Real-time event reporting with Home Assistant Auto-Discovery support for binary sensors and status updates.
• 🌐 Global Settings Sync: Real-time propagation of system-wide parameters (MQTT, AI, Throttling) from the UI to the core Video Engine.

📊 Observability & UI

• 🎨 Dashboard Health Widgets: New real-time indicators for MQTT Connection and AI Processor status.
• 💊 Unified Metadata UI: Harmonized pill-shaped badges for detected objects across the Dashboard and Timeline views.
• 🛡️ Premium Aesthetics: Refined UI contrast and typography across the Settings and Camera Management pages.

🛡️ Core Stability & Security

• 🗄️ Storage Pruning Unification: Resolved the "114% storage" discrepancy by unifying database and filesystem metrics into a reactive pruning task.
• 🔒 RBAC Hardening: Full security audit of new global configuration endpoints ensuring strict Admin-only access.
• 🧹 Build Hygiene: Standardized .dockerignore and .gitignore across all repositories to ensure lean production images.
