embeddings) from full-res download and crop; adds quality replacement
logic at the upload step

- Auto mode stopping threshold documented (20%/10% of median pairwise distance)
- Add OUTPUT_DIR env var (was undocumented)
- Local Install section notes interactive vs auto mode behaviour

When a person is at MAX_AUTO_IMAGES, winnow now replaces the
lowest-quality mapped training image in Frigate if a higher-confidence
candidate is available, keeping the training set always optimised.
Only files winnow uploaded (tracked via frigate_files mapping) are ever
replaced — manually added Frigate training images are never touched.
A concurrent-upload race condition is detected per-file: if N>1 new
files appear after one upload, the mapping is skipped rather than
guessed, logging at INFO level. The per-file snapshot approach is
retained over a batch approach because wrong mappings (which a batch
approach risks on race) are worse than no mapping.

New image variants:
- :rocm — InsightFace via ROCmExecutionProvider, SigLIP via PyTorch ROCm 6.3
- :intel — InsightFace via OpenVINOExecutionProvider (onnxruntime-openvino);
Intel GPU compute runtime auto-installed from Intel graphics repo;
OPENVINO_DEVICE=GPU opts into Arc/iGPU inference (default: CPU)
Also adds:
- pyproject-rocm.toml + uv-rocm.lock, pyproject-intel.toml + uv-intel.lock
- compose.yml device passthrough snippets for AMD and Intel
- CI: build-rocm and build-intel jobs in docker-publish.yml; all four
variants built and tagged in release.yml
- README reworked: cleaner structure, GPU variant quick-start examples,
OPENVINO_DEVICE env var documented
- CHANGELOG entry and version bump to 0.2.12
Fix: IntPrompt in dict literal was eagerly evaluated in the no-embedding
fallback path of _get_strategy_choice, prompting users for a custom count
regardless of which strategy they picked.

- .env.example: add VERBOSE, remove active AUTO_MODE=true (now TTY-detected),
comment out FORCE_CPU/ENABLE_CACHE default values, update CRON_SCHEDULE
section to document all three modes
- README: clarify that log file is always DEBUG regardless of VERBOSE

The log file already captures DEBUG unconditionally. This env var wires
the same to the Rich console handler for troubleshooting without needing
to read the log file.

Three container lifetime modes via CRON_SCHEDULE:
unset — run once on startup, exit
empty string — sleep infinity; use docker exec -it winnow winnow
cron expression — run on startup, then on schedule
This replaces the need for a separate MANUAL_MODE env var. The empty
string is a natural "I want the container alive but unscheduled" signal.

The primary use case is headless Docker, so auto mode is now the default
whenever stdin has no TTY. Interactive mode activates when a terminal is
present (docker run -it, local shell). AUTO_MODE=true remains as an
explicit override for scripting with a pseudo-TTY.
Removes AUTO_MODE=true, stdin_open, tty, and FORCE_CPU=false from
compose.yml — none are needed for headless operation. Updates README
and the interactive-mode hint in the CLI.

Introduces a VARIANT=gpu|cpu build arg to the Dockerfile. The cpu
variant uses ubuntu:22.04 (no CUDA base), installs torch+cpu and
onnxruntime (no GPU deps) via a separate pyproject-cpu.toml / uv-cpu.lock,
and is published as :cpu (dev-cpu on the dev branch) via a new
build-cpu CI job. Saves ~2 GB over the default GPU image.

- Dockerfile: ENV INSIGHTFACE_HOME=/models → /models/.insightface to
match compose.yml and .env.example; the old value caused InsightFace
to store models at /models/models/buffalo_l (double-appended subdir)
- entrypoint.sh: use /app/.venv/bin/winnow (installed entry point)
instead of python -m winnow.cli
- config.py: ENABLE_CACHE default false → true; embedding cache is
always beneficial in practice; users can opt out with ENABLE_CACHE=false
- compose.yml: comment out CRON_SCHEDULE so scheduling is opt-in;
flip ENABLE_CACHE to commented opt-out to reflect new default
- README.md: update ENABLE_CACHE default documentation to true
- tests/test_config.py: update default assertion to match

Title first, then badges on one consistent line. Removed redundant
Release and Lint badges. Fixed docs links to point to the wiki.

Adds context that winnow is especially useful for people who aren't
around enough for Frigate's live detections to supply adequate training
data on their own.

Advises users to review Frigate uploads after a run and remove bad
crops manually. Links to GitHub Issues for feedback.

- entrypoint.sh: replace `uv run` with `/app/.venv/bin/python` to skip
uv's sync check which was re-downloading ruff and rebuilding the package
on every container startup
- compose.yml, .env.example: fix INSIGHTFACE_HOME /models → /models/.insightface;
InsightFace appends models/ to root, so /models produced /models/models/buffalo_l
- README.md: add Immich and Frigate badges from upstream
- CHANGELOG.md, pyproject.toml, uv.lock: bump to 0.2.1
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add docs/setup.md, docs/troubleshooting.md, docs/faq.md as user-facing wiki
- Add .env.example with all env vars and inline comments
- Fix compose.override.yml: rename service if-curator → winnow, update volume paths
- Fix CHANGELOG.md: rename if-curator → winnow in release notes
- Link docs from README

Describes the full pipeline (fetch → filter → embed → cluster → crop →
upload), explains why diversity matters and how the K-Medoids + FPS
selection works, covers both face and object modes in detail, and
documents all env vars in one place.
