tfaour c6dad191fb Fetch headless Chromium at container startup instead of build time
Build and push server image / test (push) Successful in 45s
Build and push server image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 4m17s
Build and push server image / deploy (push) Failing after 1m42s
build-and-push failed on the last deploy: chromium-headless-shell's
single ~181MB binary can't be split across Docker layers the way this
project's pip/npm installs were (those are many independently-
installable smaller packages; this is one file), and confirmed-failed
to push past the registry's per-layer size limit.

Moves the `playwright install chromium-headless-shell` step from the
Dockerfile to start.sh, caching into PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH on the
/data volume -- only the very first boot on a fresh volume downloads
it, every boot after that is a no-op check. The image itself no longer
grows by ~262MB, so nothing new gets pushed to the registry at all.

tfaour 1c67dd20d7 Auto-restart the whiteboard render sidecar if it crashes
Build and push server image / test (push) Successful in 16s
Build and push server image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 1m57s
Root cause of "whiteboard stuck on old content, no errors anywhere":
the Node sidecar had crashed at some point and, since it was just a
bare backgrounded process with nothing supervising it, stayed dead
permanently. Every refresh since then hit connection-refused, which
get_or_refresh_whiteboard treats as a soft failure and falls back to
the last successfully cached image -- so it looked exactly like a
caching bug from the outside, silently, forever, with no error visible
anywhere except a crash trace that had already scrolled out of the log
buffer.

Wrap it in a restart loop instead of a bare `&` so a future crash (a
still-unknown third jsdom/Excalidraw edge case, most likely) is a
few-second hiccup instead of a silent permanent outage.

tfaour 644fdefa66 Add whiteboard frame mode (Nextcloud Whiteboard / Excalidraw over WebDAV)
Build and push server image / build-and-push (push) Failing after 1m10s
New third mode alongside photos/calendar: fetches a .whiteboard file
over plain WebDAV (Basic auth -- generic, not Nextcloud-specific) and
renders it via a small Node.js sidecar using Excalidraw's own real
export code (@excalidraw/utils + @resvg/resvg-js, no headless browser),
since a .whiteboard file turns out to be Excalidraw scene JSON, not an
image. The sidecar runs as a second process inside this same container
(Dockerfile installs Node, start.sh backgrounds it before exec'ing
uvicorn) rather than a separate docker-compose service -- lightweight,
stateless, reachable only at 127.0.0.1 from the Python process, nothing
worth independently scaling.

The rendered PNG is treated exactly like a photo from there on --
composed/quantized through the existing image_pipeline (letterboxed,
never cropped) rather than a second parallel rendering pipeline.

WebDAV credentials support the common "it's actually the same Nextcloud
account as my CalDAV" case (an explicit opt-in checkbox, not silently
inferred) while still working with any WebDAV server generically.
Frame-level source (URL + owning account) follows the same owner-
controls-their-own-data permission split as calendar sources and the
week view's task list: only the account owner can point a frame at it,
anyone linked can clear it.

Honest limitation: this environment has no Node.js/npm, so
render-service/ is written carefully against each library's documented
API (verified via the npm registry, including transitive dependency
licenses after the CalDAV/AGPL surprise earlier this session) but has
never actually been executed. First real docker build is the first
true test -- see render-service/README.md.
