Fast input seek (-ss before -i) fails on files whose seek index is imprecise
or mildly corrupt: the demuxer lands mid-EBML element ("invalid as first byte
of an EBML number") and decodes no frame, so the web scrubber showed a broken
image (2026-06-03, anime MKVs: 15/15 prewarm thumbnails failed). When the fast
path yields no frame, retry once with output seek (-ss after -i, decode from
the start) + -err_detect ignore_err. Applied in both the on-demand handler
(buildThumbnailArgsAccurate) and the prewarm extractor (ExtractThumbnailJPEG).
Cost is paid only when the fast path fails, so healthy files keep the cheap path.
Regression test: TestBuildThumbnailArgsAccurate.
Add GET /thumbnail to the agent stream server: ffmpeg extracts one frame
at a timestamp (-ss before -i, single-frame MJPEG to stdout) for the web's
file-characteristics panel. Auth via a token scoped thumb:<sha256(path)>
(same HMAC scheme as /stream and /hls; the web mints, the agent verifies),
clamped to a real regular file, 404-no-oracle on a bad token, 20s timeout.
ffmpeg path wired into the stream server from the daemon. Version -> 0.13.0.
