* add onboarding wizard for new users
* resolve hwaccel per camera and clarify recording retention
The hwaccel step listed every preset Frigate ships, so an Intel box was offered Raspberry Pi and Rockchip decoding, and the codec specific presets (`preset-intel-qsv-h264` vs `-h265`) were offered as global values that break as soon as two cameras use different codecs. `/hardware/hwaccel` now returns the decoding families the probed hardware can actually use, each carrying a preset per codec, and the wizard resolves the family against the detect stream codec the camera wizard already probed: one global `ffmpeg.hwaccel_args` when every camera agrees, per-camera `cameras.<name>.ffmpeg.hwaccel_args` when they don't. The global stays on `auto` in that case so cameras added later still resolve at startup. A gen13+ Intel machine keeps its QuickSync recommendation with mixed h264 and h265 cameras instead of dropping to vaapi.
The recording step's "Days to retain recordings" only wrote alert and detection retention, and the storage estimate under it assumed continuous recording. It now asks what to record in plain language, writes `record.continuous.days` to match, shows the estimate only for continuous, and drops the spinner arrows on the number input.

* pin genai review frames to the main stream
* retain previews as long as either stream has recordings
* watch sub stream recording health separately from main
* reject record_sub on the same input as record and document the role
* derive recording paths from the cache segment timestamp
Recording paths carry one second of resolution, but since sub stream recording start times are resolved to fractional wall clock, anchored to the cache file mtime and chained to the previous segment's end. A stream cutting segments faster than once a second resolves consecutive segments into the same second, so two rows collide on the unique path index and the batch insert fails. The cache segment name is unique per camera stream and second by construction because ffmpeg names segments with strftime, so the recording path is now built from that timestamp while the row keeps the resolved start time. This also restores the path semantics from before sub stream recording, when start times came straight from the cache filename.
Nothing derives times from recording paths: playback offsets, stream switching, and export all use the row's start time, which is unchanged, and the recordings sync matches files by exact path string.
* keep the rest of a recording batch when one row conflicts
* only publish record_sub status when a sub stream is configured
* don't shadow camera_cfg when publishing empty cache streams
* back off restarts when a recording stream goes stale
* give the shared sub stream grace on any capture thread reset
* include segment details in recording discard warnings
* recreate review thumbnail directory before writing and log write failures
cleanup's remove_empty_directories() can rmdir an empty clips/review, after which thumbnail writes silently fail. Ensure the directory exists before both cv2.imwrite calls and check their return value
* add docs for add camera wizard
* Handle indefinite events when a segment needs to forcibly be ended for a ceamera
* update keyframe interval article link

* fix stale active object indicators on the live dashboard
The camera_activity/<camera> snapshot cache is only written when a client sends onConnect, and object "end" events only update the local state of mounted useCameraActivity hooks, never the cache. As a result, a hook that seeded from a stale cache or missed an "end" event while disconnected showed objects that had already left, with no path to correct itself short of a full page reload.
This change will re-request the snapshot on hook mount (collapsed to one onConnect per task across camera cards), and always re-notify camera_activity topics so hooks reconcile against their own local state instead of relying on snapshot-vs-snapshot comparison, and clear the payload dedup cache on reconnect and resync so byte-identical snapshots still apply.
* docs tweaks
* fix mqtt log message
* use consistent values for lpr debug frame filenames
with millisecond resolution
* apply object events through a functional updater to prevent lost updates
The events effect derived a new objects list from the value captured at render time and wrote the whole list back. When events arrived close
together, a run derived from a stale list erased a concurrent run's removal; the resurrected object then had no remaining "end" event to clear it, and the add branch could mint a duplicate entry that no splice could ever remove, leaving the live dashboard showing active objects the backend had already cleared, until a page reload.
The fix is to apply each event inside setObjects so it operates on the true current list exactly once. Unchanged results return the same reference so React bails out of re-rendering, and the label rewrite is hoisted so added objects get the sub_label/verified label directly instead of relying on the effect re-running against its own state update.

Added the reason for autotracking not working
* fix i18n keys
* hide disable from context menu for viewers
* Fix auto live check for default dashboard and camera groups
Disabling the Automatic Live View switch in Settings should prevent streaming from occurring. Overriding any settings in a camera group will override the global setting. The check here incorrectly always returned false instead of undefined.
* clarify hardware accelerated enrichments
* clarify
* add note about detect stream to face rec docs
* add note about low end Dahuas for autotracking
* Catch invalid face box / image
* Video tab tweaks
With the changes in https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/pull/18220, the video tab in the Tracked Object Details pane now correctly trims the in-browser HLS video. Because of keyframes and record/detect stream differences, we can manually subtract a couple of seconds from the event start_time to ensure the first few frames aren't cut off from the video
* Clarify
