The `initialized` state (used in conditions/triggers) was written once
and never cleared, so it meant "has this card ever been initialized"
while everything reading it took it as "is this card usable now". Home
Assistant takes a card off the page and puts it back whenever its
dashboard tab is left and returned to, so the card initialized again
while the state claimed it was initialized throughout: `trigger:
initialized` fired once per card rather than once per startup, and
automations were dropped in between.
The card lifecycle is now an explicit state machine (`SessionManager`),
the only writer of `initialized`, which separates a card that is
starting up from one initializing part of itself again while it runs. A
new `ever` parameter (conditions/triggers) selects the old latched
behaviour.
`remote_control` uses that parameter to keep its two camera priorities
correct under repeated starts. With `camera_priority: entity` the card
now re-reads the entity every time it starts, so a camera selected while
the card was away is picked up on return. With `camera_priority: card`
the card writes the entity on its first start only, unchanged, since
repeating that write would overwrite a camera the user had selected.
Closes: #2642
BREAKING CHANGE: `condition: initialized` is now `false` whenever the
card is not usable, and `trigger: initialized` fires each time the card
starts up rather than only the first time. Set `ever: true` on either to
keep the previous behaviour.
- Add support for Frigate reviews / detections.
- Add support for GenAI metadata.
- Significant internal refactor to more flexible "UnifiedQuery" to allow
mixing cameras with simple metadata and review metadata (e.g. a timeline
view of a Frigate camera with reviews, and a Reolink camera with simple
metadata).
- Add support for folder media as camera media.
There are a few more PRs to commit prior to this going live, but
commiting this for now due to the scale of the change.
BREAKING CHANGE: `media_type` and `events_type` are retired under
`live`, `viewer` and `timeline` configuration sections, instead media
type is associated (once) with the camera under `media`.
* fix: Improve media background image
* Simplify loading spinner.
This is slightly less fancy, but removes code. I'm guessing no-one will notice or care enough to raise it! (BMFW).
