trip history with OSM/CARTO live map and route replay, dashcam archive browsing with inline
video player and Range-request seeking, overview stats dashboard, delete buttons for trips and

pulls from the server. The portal can register/delete multiple devices, reveal a one-time API
key at creation/rotation time, and request a sync for a selected device. When the Pi has
