Add phone-relay dashcam upload to bypass the Pi's slow WiFi
Root-caused the slow-upload complaint to the Pi's own congested 2.4GHz WiFi radio (confirmed via iperf3 - same degraded throughput even on pure local LAN traffic, ruling out Cloudflare/ISP). Since the Pi 3 B has no 5GHz radio, add a way to bypass it for the internet-bound leg: a phone opens /dash and manually relays pending dashcam files straight to the remote server over its own network, reusing the exact same chunked upload protocol the Pi's client already uses. - server/app.py: add CORS headers (after_request) so the phone's browser can call the remote server cross-origin from a page served by the Pi. - app.py: new endpoints - GET /api/dash/pending (list not-yet-uploaded files), GET /api/dash/file/<path> (Range-request-capable download, path-traversal safe), GET /api/dash/relay/config (hands the phone the device credentials), POST /api/dash/relay/heartbeat|stop (lease- based pause of the Pi's own background uploader, self-heals if the phone's tab closes uncleanly), POST /api/dash/relay/mark_uploaded. - modules/app_upload.py: list_pending_dashcam_files(), relay lease helpers, _upload_dashcam_files() now pauses while a relay lease is active. - modules/app_sql.py: new dashcam_hash_cache table so a file's sha256 is only computed once (keyed by path+size+mtime) instead of being recomputed on every loop iteration/pending-list call - benefits the existing background uploader too. - templates/dash.html / static/js/dash.js: new "Relay via phone" card - per-file and "relay all" buttons (manual trigger only, per user preference), downloads+uploads one 40MB slice at a time so the phone never holds a whole file in memory, retries chunks up to 3x. - PLAN.md/readme.md/server/README.md updated (Phase 11). Tested via a full local end-to-end simulation driving the real Pi and server Flask apps side by side (Postgres mocked only at the db module boundary - all HTTP/chunking/auth/CORS logic is real): verified Range downloads (206), byte-for-byte reassembly via SHA256, path-traversal rejection, and the relay lease correctly pausing/resuming the background uploader. Not yet tested against a real phone/live network.
