- * MainActivity - ENHANCED with background ingestion

- * Key improvements:
- * 1. Non-blocking ingestion - app loads immediately
- * 2. Background processing with progress updates
- * 3. Graceful handling of large photo collections
- * 4. User can navigate while ingestion runs
+ * Phase 1: Image ingestion (fast - just loads URIs)
+ * Phase 2: Face detection cache (slower - scans for faces)

+/**
+ * CachePopulationWorker - Background face detection cache builder
+ *
+ * 🎯 Purpose: One-time scan to mark which photos contain faces
+ * ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+ * Strategy:
+ * 1. Use ML Kit FAST detector (speed over accuracy)
+ * 2. Scan ALL photos in library that need caching
+ * 3. Store: hasFaces (boolean) + faceCount (int) + version
+ * 4. Result: Future person scans only check ~30% of photos
+ *
+ * Performance:
+ * • FAST detector: ~100-200ms per image
+ * • 10,000 photos: ~5-10 minutes total
+ * • Cache persists forever (until version upgrade)
+ * • Saves 70% of work on every future scan
+ *
+ * Scheduling:
+ * • Preferred: When device is idle + charging
+ * • Alternative: User can force immediate run
+ * • Batched processing: 50 images per batch
+ * • Supports pause/resume via WorkManager
