2eb77fe0f2 fix: improve AI tool reliability for face detection and background removal (#25)
- Replace OpenCV Haar Cascades with MediaPipe for face detection, using
  short-range model first with full-range fallback for better accuracy
- Add auto-orient to remove-background route for EXIF-rotated photos
- Change default background removal model from u2net to birefnet-general-lite
- Fix flaky test by setting SQLite busy_timeout before journal_mode pragma
