- npm run video:install downloads the pinned MediaMTX v1.21.0 for this
platform, verifies its SHA-256 against checksums committed in
src/lib/mediamtx-install.ts, and installs it into gitignored bin/.
- On server start, instrumentation launches MediaMTX with a generated
owner-only config: API and WebRTC signaling on 127.0.0.1, only the ICE
port (UDP 8189) on the LAN, a hashed per-boot API password, no
anonymous users, unused protocols off. Restarts on crash with backoff,
stops with the server; VIDEO_BRIDGE=off skips it.
- Camera streams are added to MediaMTX at runtime, on demand, with the
stored login; nothing with a password is written to disk or echoed.
- rtspSourceWithLogin() reads a profile's RTSP URI over ONVIF.
- Export vrek log (live video goal, decisions, codec finding).
