Summary

Adds Mosquitto MQTT broker container for Frigate event publishing
Adds Frigate NVR container with Coral USB TPU, event-only recording (21-day local), and alert-severity gold archive to Hyperion NAS (180-day)
Reolink RLC-410-5MP frontyard camera configured; Wyze indoor disabled pending firmware fix (issue #87)
SOPS/age encrypted credentials committed as .env.enc
Home Assistant gold export automation fires on frigate/reviews MQTT alert events, calls frigate.export_recording to write clips to /mnt/nas/frigate-gold/
Systemd timer frigate-gold-cleanup.timer on Nexus prunes gold clips older than 180 days at 03:00 daily

Key fixes discovered during setup

Snap Docker cannot read env_file from /mnt/server/ � must use relative ./env in repo dir
Frigate uses Python str.format() so RTSP credential substitution requires {FRIGATE_VAR} syntax (not ${VAR})
All camera credential vars must be prefixed FRIGATE_ to be substituted
RTSP paths must be inline in YAML to avoid leading whitespace in URLs

Test plan

Walk through yard zone on frontyard camera
Verify alert-severity review appears in Frigate UI at http://192.168.1.226:5000
Confirm HA automation trace fires: Settings ? Automations ? Traces
Confirm clip appears at /mnt/nas/frigate-gold/
Verify cleanup timer: systemctl list-timers frigate-gold-cleanup.timer

feat: add frigate NVR compose and encrypted credentials 68c3391c8a

- docker-compose.yml: Frigate stable, Coral USB passthrough, local media
  mount + Hyperion NFS gold storage overlay at /media/frigate/exports
- .env.enc: SOPS/age encrypted camera credentials (encrypted on Nexus)
- .env.example: placeholder template documenting expected vars
- .gitignore: prevents accidental commit of plain .env or config.yml

docs: add frigate config template 17f4d5b2ee

config.yml.example documents all settings with inline comments.
Real config.yml lives only on Nexus at /mnt/server/containers/frigate/config/.

feat: update frigate credentials for two-camera setup ca18126da1

fix(frigate): correct env_file path, variable syntax, and add README aefdd00789

- Change env_file to relative ./.env (snap Docker can't access /mnt/server)
- Fix RTSP URL template syntax: use {FRIGATE_VAR} not ${FRIGATE_VAR}
  (Frigate uses Python str.format(), not shell variable substitution)
- Prefix all env vars with FRIGATE_ as required by Frigate's substitution engine
- Add README with bootstrap instructions and secrets workflow
- Inline RTSP path values to avoid leading-whitespace YAML parse issue
