🚀 Release v1.28.1

📝 Summary

This release introduces the Universal AI Activation Framework, a major architectural refinement designed to make VibeNVR more resource-efficient and hardware-agnostic. Users without AI accelerators (like Google Coral) can now run the system in a "Lean Mode," while those with specialized hardware benefit from a more robust, singleton-based detection engine.

🛠️ Key Improvements

• 🤖 Universal AI Master Switch: A new global setting in the AI Detection Engine tab allows for instant enabling/disabling of the TFLite inference pipeline. When OFF, models are completely released from memory, saving significant CPU and RAM.
• 🔄 Intelligent OpenCV Fallback: Cameras configured for AI detection will now automatically and gracefully fallback to standard OpenCV motion detection if the global AI engine is disabled.
• 🛡️ Enhanced System Stability: The AI engine now operates as a managed singleton, preventing redundant model loads and ensuring real-time configuration synchronization across all camera threads.
• 🎨 Visual State Indicators: Updated the Camera Edit modal with amber warnings and status banners, providing clear feedback when the system is operating in fallback mode.
• 🔍 Configurable NMS: Added a global setting for NMS IoU Threshold, allowing advanced users to fine-tune object overlap filtering for YOLOv8 models.
• 📦 Build Resilience: Optimized the Docker build context and repository hygiene to ensure seamless model downloading and deployment stability.

🛡️ Security & Assurance

• ✅ RBAC Hardening: Global AI settings are strictly restricted to the Admin role.
• ✅ Full Suite Verification: Passed the comprehensive Deep Assurance Suite, ensuring no regressions in core recording or streaming logic.
• ✅ Privacy Integrity: Verified that no sensitive credentials leak during engine-backend synchronization logs.

Installation Note: After updating, navigate to System Settings → AI Detection Engine to verify your global preferences. If you do not use a Coral TPU, keep the master switch OFF for optimal performance.
