 ## How many images should I upload to Frigate?
 
-The `auto` strategy decides this for you — it keeps selecting until adding more images would be redundant. In practice this is usually 10–40 per person. You can cap it with `MAX_AUTO_IMAGES` (default `20`).
+The `adaptive` strategy (default) decides this for you — it keeps selecting until adding more images would be redundant. In practice this is usually 10–40 per person. You can cap it with `MAX_AUTO_IMAGES` (default `20`).
 
 The default is intentionally conservative. The goal is for winnow to **supplement** a training set that should be primarily built from manually-curated images — photos you took specifically for recognition, in controlled conditions, uploaded directly through Frigate's UI. winnow is for the people you can't do that for: faces in your library you want Frigate to recognise but don't have dedicated training photos for.

+The upload tracker is stored in `CACHE_DIR` (`/app/.if_cache` by default) as `winnow_tracker.db` (SQLite). If this volume isn't persisted between runs, the tracker resets and images are re-uploaded.
