* add import/export for camera group layouts and streaming settings
Camera group layouts and per-camera streaming settings are stored in the browser's IndexedDB, so they are tied to a single browser on a single device. Users with more than one device have to rebuild every group layout and re-pick every camera's stream settings by hand, and clearing browser data loses the work.
Add a Backup & Restore card to Settings > UI Settings that exports these settings to a JSON file and imports that file on another device. Import shows a confirmation dialog with per-section counts, switches for layouts, streaming settings, and UI preferences, and warnings about camera groups or cameras in the file that are not on this server.
Server-side storage is deliberately avoided. These are per-device presentation settings: a layout arranged for a desktop is wrong on a tablet, and continuous full-resolution streams that are free on a wired LAN are not on a phone. An explicit file moves settings only when the user chooses to move them.
Implementation notes:
- web/src/utils/uiSettingsTransfer.ts owns a registry of transferable IndexedDB keys. Each entry records whether the key is user-namespaced, matching which persistence hook wrote it, plus a zod schema for its value.
- Only registry-known keys are ever written, and only when their value passes that schema. The file format deliberately lets unknown keys survive parsing, so this filter is what prevents a hand-edited file from writing arbitrary storage keys or out-of-range values.
- Export falls back to the legacy un-namespaced key, because the username migration runs lazily on first mount of each owning hook.
- Streaming settings merge per group rather than replacing the whole map, so groups configured only on the receiving device survive.
- Import writes storage and then reloads, because useUserPersistence reads a key only on mount and StreamingSettingsProvider would otherwise write its stale in-memory state back over the import.
- playbackBandwidthEstimate, frigate-search-history, and live-layout are excluded: the first two are measurements and user data rather than preferences, and live-layout's default is derived from the device.

In the homeassistant app, the notification timestamp is generated when the push message is received by the app. Delays caused by servers, device load, or network latency/availability will delay those pushes - so in the following case:
1:00 - A dog is detected in the front
1:02 - It stops moving around or leaves view, last notification push sent
1:05 - The phone connects to the network
The user, seeing the alert at 1:05, will see that the notification occurred "a few seconds ago", since the timestamp the app sends to the OS was at 1:05. By adding the `when` parameter, it will instead correctly show that the event was triggered at 1:00.
This is exacerbated by the fact that the default behavior of android pushes won't wake the device from deep sleep - in order to receive it as a high priority notification, the additional parameters
```
data:
priority: high
ttl: 0
```
have to be added.
