* fix semantic search reindex
sqlite-vec added the `_info` shadow table in 0.1.6 and drops it unconditionally when a vec0 table is destroyed, so `DROP TABLE` on a table written by 0.17 failed with "SQL logic error" once 0.18 moved to 0.1.9. `SqliteQueueDatabase` queues non-SELECT statements and stores the exception on the cursor it returns, and nothing read those cursors, so the failed drop and every write after it went unreported while reindex still logged "Embedded N thumbnails". `drop_embeddings_tables()` now recreates the missing `_info` stub before dropping, and writes go through `execute_write()`, which waits on the cursor so failures raise. `INSERT OR REPLACE` is gone too, since vec0 implements neither REPLACE nor UPSERT and it always failed on an id already in the table, including under the 0.1.3 build 0.17 shipped.
* use lock
* show reindex failure in status bar
The recognized_license_plate event filter passed attacker-controlled patterns to re.search on the single serialized SQLite queue thread, letting any authenticated user freeze the whole application with a catastrophic regex. This swaps stdlib re for the regex module with a per-evaluation timeout so a pathological pattern is aborted instead of stalling every database operation.
* add regex support to events api for recognized_license_plate
* frontend
add ability to use regexes in the plate search box and add select all/clear all links to quickly select all filtered plates
* Use cosine distance metric for vec tables
* Only apply normalization to multi modal searches
* Catch possible edge case in stddev calc
* Use sigmoid function for normalization for multi modal searches only
* Ensure we get model state on initial page load
* Only save stats for multi modal searches and only use cosine similarity for image -> image search
