Erich Blume 04c7f3c45a Deploy Frigate NVR stack with Mosquitto, Ntfy, and frigate-notify (#190)
## Summary

Deploy a cloud-free NVR stack for the GableCam (ReoLink Elite Floodlight at 192.168.1.159):

- **Mosquitto** — shared MQTT broker in `mqtt` namespace (cluster-internal, no auth)
- **Ntfy** — self-hosted push notifications in `ntfy` namespace, exposed at `ntfy.tail8d86e.ts.net` / `ntfy.ops.eblu.me`
- **Frigate** — NVR with GableCam via HTTP-FLV, ONNX CPU detection, NFS recordings on sifaka, exposed at `nvr.tail8d86e.ts.net` / `nvr.ops.eblu.me`
- **frigate-notify** — bridges Frigate detection events (person, car, dog, cat) to Ntfy alerts via MQTT

Also includes:
- Prometheus scrape target for Frigate metrics
- Grafana dashboard for Frigate (status, inference speed, FPS, CPU/memory, storage)
- Caddy reverse proxy entries for `nvr.ops.eblu.me` and `ntfy.ops.eblu.me`

## Prerequisites

- [ ] Create NFS share `frigate` on sifaka (`/volume1/frigate`, RW for indri)
- [ ] Create 1Password item "Reolink Floodlight Camera" in `blumeops` vault with `username` and `password` fields

## Deployment (after merge)

```bash
argocd app sync apps
argocd app sync mosquitto
argocd app sync ntfy
argocd app sync frigate
argocd app sync grafana-config
argocd app sync prometheus
mise run provision-indri -- --tags caddy
mise run services-check
```

## Verification

- [ ] Mosquitto pod running, accepting connections on 1883
- [ ] Ntfy web UI accessible at `ntfy.ops.eblu.me`
- [ ] Frigate web UI at `nvr.ops.eblu.me` showing GableCam live feed
- [ ] Object detection working (ONNX, person/car/dog/cat)
- [ ] Recordings appearing in NFS share on sifaka
- [ ] frigate-notify sending detection alerts to Ntfy
- [ ] Prometheus scraping Frigate metrics
- [ ] Grafana dashboard showing Frigate data
