0.7.0 — 2026-07-27

• Optional authentication against Frigate. Set user/password under frigate: and
  FaceID logs in against Frigate's authenticated API (port 8971), keeping the session and
  renewing it on 401. Without credentials nothing changes — the open port 5000 keeps
  working exactly as before, and a failed login falls back to unauthenticated instead of
  breaking recognition.
• Measured, not assumed: a Frigate viewer account can read everything FaceID needs,
  but cannot write sub_label — Frigate answers Role viewer not authorized. Required: admin. So authenticating either costs you the name write-back into Frigate,
  or requires admin credentials in a config file. The README states both plainly rather
  than recommending one; a rejected write now logs exactly that instead of a bare 403.
• verify_tls (default false) because Frigate ships a self-signed certificate — enabling
  verification without your own CA would fail every request.
• All Frigate calls now go through one client. The history scan, the startup check, the
  camera list and the poller previously issued their own unauthenticated requests, which
  would have quietly bypassed any login.
