NVR with realtime local object detection for IP cameras

Three independent ORT/glibc leak vectors identified and fixed: 1. **ORT CPU BFC arena** (`enable_cpu_mem_arena=False` for all sessions) ORT's default CPU arena pools host-side GPU↔CPU staging buffers indefinitely. Disabling it across every InferenceSession (detection + embedding) stops hundreds-of-MB/h RSS growth seen on systems with CUDA EP sessions. 2. **ORT memory-pattern cache** (`enable_mem_pattern=False` for variable-length models) For embedding models with variable-length inputs (Jina v1/v2, PaddleOCR), ORT allocates one mmap-backed execution plan per unique sequence length and never frees them. Disabling the pattern cache stops this unbounded anon-mmap growth. Fixed-size models (YOLO) keep `enable_mem_pattern=True` to preserve buffer aliasing and avoid CUDA graph capture failures. 3. **mallopt(M_ARENA_MAX)** called from `EmbeddingProcess.run()` The forkserver start method exec()s a fresh Python interpreter that does not inherit Docker env vars, so `MALLOC_ARENA_MAX` set in docker-compose never reaches the child. Calling `mallopt(-8, os.cpu_count())` from `run()` caps glibc malloc arenas in the child process. Additional improvements: - `compute_cuda_mem_limit()`: dynamically caps the ORT CUDA EP BFC arena for embedding sessions to min(model_size × 7, 80% VRAM); prevents OOM on multi-model systems while leaving headroom for detection sessions. - CUDA graph capture is now wrapped in try/except so models with CPU-only ops (e.g. attention, NMS) fall back to ONNXModelRunner instead of crashing. - `ONNXModelRunner.has_variable_length_inputs()`: centralises the Jina/PaddleOCR detection logic to keep SessionOptions creation consistent. - 17 regression-guard unit tests in `frigate/test/test_detection_runners.py` that will fail if any of these three fixes is accidentally reverted.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras
English
A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.
Use of a GPU or AI accelerator is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead. See Frigate's supported object detectors.
- Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
- Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
- Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
- Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
- Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
- Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
- Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
- 24/7 recording
- Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
- WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
