ffmpeg's mxf muxer cannot write a growing file — its header/index duration
stays N/A until the footer at close (proven: file grows on disk but readable
duration never advances), so Premiere never sees growth. Replace the growing
master muxer with bmx/raw2bmx --growing-file, the reference growing-OP1a writer.
Capture image builds bmx (bbc/bmx v1.6) from source (bmxlib-tools absent in
bookworm). Growing pipeline: one ffmpeg decodes SDI -> split into MPEG-2 422
essence + PCM (to named FIFOs) + the H.264 HLS preview; raw2bmx muxes the
growing OP1a MXF to the share, updating IndexDuration incrementally. FIFO
open-order deadlock fixed by parent-priming both FIFOs. Stop forwards SIGINT
so ffmpeg EOFs and raw2bmx finalizes the footer; stop() awaits raw2bmx exit
before the promotion worker uploads. Raster/fps -> raw2bmx essence flag via
deriveGrowingRaster (default 1080i59.94).
Proven live (zampp2): IndexDuration grows 43->223->403 frames at 3/8/15s
mid-write (ffmpeg stayed N/A); finalized file valid; HLS preview intact.

Implements docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-31-storage-settings-growing-smb-design.md.
1. Storage warning banner at the top of Settings → Storage (set-once /
path-change-corrupts-data warning).
2. Growing-files SMB credentials + system CIFS mount (Approach A):
- settings.js: new global keys growing_smb_mount / growing_smb_username /
growing_smb_vers; growing_smb_password is write-only (GET returns only
growing_smb_password_exists; growing_smb_password_clear:true removes it).
- GrowingSettingsCard: SMB mount/username/password (masked, "saved" state) +
CIFS version fields.
- capture Dockerfile: add cifs-utils + util-linux.
- capture-manager: on growing start, mount //host/share at /growing using a
root-only credentials file (creds never on the command line); unmount on
stop; mount failure falls back to S3 streaming so a recording is never lost.
- recorders.js: pass GROWING_SMB_* env; don't host-bind /growing when a CIFS
mount is configured (an empty mountpoint is required).
3. Per-recorder growing mode (global toggle removed):
- Removed the global "capture writes to local SMB share first" checkbox; the
growing card is now SMB-infrastructure-only.
- recorders.js reads the per-recorder recorders.growing_enabled column
(already present from migration 014) instead of the global setting;
RECORDER_FIELDS += growing_enabled.
- New-recorder modal: "Growing-files mode" toggle.
- storage.js overview: "enabled" now means the SMB landing zone is configured
(mount source set), surfaced as smb_mount; health strip labels updated.
No DB migration required (recorders.growing_enabled exists; new settings are
key/value rows).

Brings the node-local NVENC ffmpeg build into the branch and fixes it:
- multi-stage build with nv-codec-headers + --enable-nvenc/--enable-cuvid
- removes --pkg-config-flags="--static", which broke x265 detection
("ERROR: x265 not found using pkg-config") and prevented the image from
ever building. Shared linking is used; runtime stage already apt-installs
the shared codec libs (libx265-199 etc).
- self-validating: build fails if nvenc encoders are absent.
Rebuilt image confirmed to expose hevc_nvenc/h264_nvenc/av1_nvenc on the L4.

The previous patch_decklink.py mixed v14_2_1 versioned types (Fix 1 renamed the allocator class) with no-ops for SetVideoInputFrameMemoryAllocator + QueryInterface-around-GetBytes (Fixes 2 & 3). That inconsistency compiled but silently dropped every video frame: VideoInputFrameArrived saw _v14_2_1 allocator output but tried to read it via the SDK 16 unversioned IDeckLinkVideoBuffer path, and the SDK released the buffer before FFmpeg could consume it.
Bisected with the BMD-provided Capture sample at SDK 16 mode 5 (Hp29) which got frames cleanly, confirming the signal was fine and the bug was in FFmpegs decklink demuxer.
Fix: pull libavdevice/decklink_{enc,dec,common}{.cpp,.h} from upstream FFmpeg master (commits past 7.1 that fully rename every decklink interface to its _v14_2_1 versioned form) and apply that diff in reverse during build. Now build is internally consistent and frames flow.
Verified: SDI1 recorder on zampp2 hits 423 frames in 14s @ 29 fps, ProRes HQ at 91 Mbps.
Dockerfile is now a two-stage build that compiles FFmpeg from source with --enable-decklink against the Blackmagic SDK 16.x headers in services/capture/sdk/ (operator-supplied, gitignored). build-with-decklink.sh + patch_decklink.py drive the build.
docker-compose.yml mounts /dev/shm, /run/dbus, /run/systemd into mam-api, capture, web-ui so the BMD runtime can talk to the host.
capture-manager.js wraps SDI sources with -vf yadif=mode=1 (deinterlace).
recorders.html defaults to SDI source type now that we have a working DeckLink path.
