Subject: [PATCH] Bump Frigate retention and add recording health check
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Increase retention: continuous 3→180d, detections 14→30d, alerts 30→730d.
Plenty of NFS headroom (~9.4 TiB free, ~6.6 GB/day for one camera).

Add frigate-recording check to services-check that verifies camera_fps > 0,
which would have caught the 6-day outage from the mqtt config removal.
