Streams published flat as <user>/<Title>__<ts>.mp4 so each recording is its own Jellyfin episode; plugin 0.1.3 parses the title from the name

Browse Source 
Jellyfin merges several videos in one non-season folder into a single episode with versions,
which collapsed a night of helmet cams into one entry. Recording still lands in <Title>/.live/.

## Verified behaviours worth remembering
- **Never scp generated configs** (`mediamtx.yml`, `copyparty.conf`, `Caddyfile`, `dump-users.txt`, `.env`): a template copy wiped all streamers once. They are gitignored now; `*.example.*` are reference only.
- Caddy runs in a container: anything it serves from disk must be a mount (`/srv/live` was missing → 404).
- Several videos inside one non-season folder = ONE Jellyfin episode with "versions". Streams are therefore published flat as `<Title>__<ts>.mp4` in the streamer's folder (plugin 0.1.3 parses the title from the name). Four or five helmet cams a night each get their own episode.
- The sweep's VFR check used a gawk-only function; Debian's mawk made it pass everything silently. Portable now.
- A deploy block that is only half-run leaves old binaries in `/usr/local/bin`; `grep -c` the installed script before blaming logic.
- MediaMTX stamps recording filenames in its container clock: without `TZ` it is UTC and the plugin reads names as Eastern (4 h off). `TZ=America/New_York` is set on the container.
