- _convert_bg now runs in real threading.Thread (not gevent greenlet)
so ffmpeg proc.wait() doesn't block gevent event loop
- _device_lock released before copy loop; only held for mount/unmount
so /api/dash/files and other routes don't block during long copies
- Date now shows time (Aug 9, 10:30 PM) on mobile video rows
- Spacing added above converting spinner badge

- Import now returns immediately with {status: 'started'}
- Backend runs copy in a daemon thread, tracks job state in _import_job
- New GET /api/dash/import/status endpoint for polling
- UI polls every 3s, shows progress bar until done
- Page reload mid-import resumes polling automatically
- Prevents double-import with 'busy' guard

- yaris.css: on mobile (<576px) hide file/size/date/upload cols, show
filename inside thumb cell, icon-only buttons, dash-actions-td nowrap
- local-videos.js: filename in thumb cell for mobile; Converting badge with
spinner; auto-refresh every 10s while any file is converting
- app_video.py: CONVERT_SETTING, is_convert_enabled(), queue_convert(),
_convert_bg() — h264_v4l2m2m + aac faststart, deletes original on success
- app_dash.py: call queue_convert() after each successful copy on import
- app_settings.py: expose video_convert_enabled in get/save settings
- settings.html: toggle for 'Convert imported videos for web playback'

mount_device() used a bare os.makedirs() to create the mount point,
but the app runs as an unprivileged user while /mnt is root-owned -
surfaced as a real PermissionError during the first actual hardware
test. Create the mount point via sudo mkdir -p instead, consistent
with the existing sudo mount/umount calls in this module.

First real-hardware test revealed the connected dashcam's SD card ships
factory-formatted with no partition table - lsblk reports it as a bare
"disk" with an fstype set directly, never as a child "part". The
previous detection logic only matched type=="part", so it silently
missed this real device entirely.
list_usb_storage_partitions() now also matches whole-disk USB devices
that have no children and an fstype set directly on them, in addition
to the existing partition-table case. Verified against a fixture built
from this dashcam's actual `lsblk -J` output.

Squashed rewrite of the project revival work (replaces prior history on this
branch to remove personal data that had been accidentally committed - real
LAN IP, GPS coordinates, home WiFi SSID, and phone model). See PLAN.md for
full phase-by-phase details. Summary:
- Phase 2: adapt app_obd.py for a USB OBD-II adapter (was Bluetooth-only),
auto-detect /dev/ttyUSB*, fix several pre-existing crash bugs.
- Phase 3/4: make the web UI work fully offline (vendored Socket.IO/Leaflet/
Chart.js/FontAwesome, offline map tile downloader script, live GPS marker
tracking fix).
- Phase 5: systemd deployment/autostart on the Pi.
- Phase 6: WiFi hotspot mode via NetworkManager (auto-switch between home
WiFi and a local AP for in-car web UI access), mDNS hostname + port 80
redirect so the UI is reachable at a plain hostname with no port number.
- Phase 7: fix app_db.py/app_sql.py bugs, wire up local SQLite trip logging.
- Phase 8: brand-agnostic USB dashcam file retrieval (lsblk transport-based
detection, works with any dashcam brand/folder layout).
- Rewritten readme.md with a proper project overview.
