Hello, this is your Frigate N V R briefing for October 12th through 19th.
We tracked 39 pull request activity items, 30 additional commits this week.

First, security and access control. PR 24713 changes the auth endpoint to authorize from the stored user role and password change time, so demoted, deleted, or password-changed accounts lose old access instead of keeping it until refresh. Related work in PR 24658 and PR 24662 tightens auth handling and normalizes…

PR 24663 fixes an out-of-memory case during camera watchdog recovery by waiting for ffmpeg to exit instead of buffering raw frames, addressing a reported 14 gigabyte failure. PR 24652 reduces idle CPU from thread pools, PR 24644 keeps frame shared memory mapped, and PR 24643 fixes…
