Suriyakumarvijayanayagam 5e544eee3d The camera tiles put a password in the page, and loaded nothing
StreamURL built http://user:pass@127.0.0.1:8010/api/cameras/<id>/
stream.mjpeg and handed it to an <img>, with a comment saying the
credentials were inline "so an <img> tag can load it".

It cannot. Chromium strips credentials from subresource URLs and has
since M59, and WebView2 is Chromium - so on the one platform this
product ships to, every camera tile on a shop counter was a broken
image. Measured against a running engine: the app's Go-side calls
returned stats and people while an <img> on that very URL failed, and
curl proved the URL answered 200. The engine was never the problem.

The password now stays on this side of the process boundary. A loopback
relay attaches Basic auth and streams the engine's bytes back
unchanged - the same reasoning Shot.jsx already follows at head office,
where an <img> equally cannot carry a session.

What the relay is careful about, since it is a door onto the biometric
API with a credential attached:

  - loopback only, on a port the OS picks; a fixed one would collide
    with whatever else a shop PC runs and read as "the cameras broke"
  - a per-run random token in the path. The engine's own credential
    exists so the live face feed is never served open; an
    unauthenticated relay would hand that feed to any other process on
    the PC. Compared in constant time, and a wrong one is 404, not 403
  - an allow-list of stream.mjpeg and frame.jpg. Holding the token does
    not reach the identity list, the gallery, or erasure
  - camera ids validated, not interpolated
  - every chunk flushed; a buffered MJPEG stream is a tile that never
    paints, which looks identical to the bug being fixed

Two of those were written after a test failed, not before:

  - `..` MATCHES the id pattern, because real camera ids contain dots.
    `/api/cameras/../stream.mjpeg` is not the endpoint anyone intended.
    The id can never hold a slash, so `.` and `..` are the whole
    remaining traversal surface and are now refused by name.
  - the serve goroutine read p.srv off the struct while stop() was
    nilling it, so a quick start/stop dereferenced nil and took the
    process down. Captured before launching now.

FrameURL is deliberately not added. No screen asks for a still, and a
bound method nothing calls is the same defect as a capability the UI
cannot reach, only pointing the other way.

Verified: nine unit tests, plus a live test against the real engine and
the real office camera - two MJPEG frames, 90,793 bytes, no credential
in the URL. Windows and darwin both build; vet clean.
