v1.2.6 — HA rebuild actually picks up the fix

Follow-up for #1.

HA add-on Docker was caching an old git clone, so Restart/Update could still run 1.2.4 (empty camera list). 1.2.6 busts that cache.

Also: use login extras.homeId if homeList is empty; do not print session JSON in the web log.

Windows: a black preview tile with VLC 3 is often HEVC — try Agent DVR / ffplay on the HD URL.

v1.2.5 — empty camera list after login

Fixes #1: Session active but 0 cameras.

• Broader Tuya categories (doorbells, sp_*, p2p / cloud-storage)
• Keep a device if jarvis/config fails
• Empty UI shows homes= / skipped= / errors= instead of a blank “No cameras.”
• HA add-on version 1.2.5 — rebuild so it clones current main

Windows Setup includes the discovery fix. HA users: rebuild/update the add-on, then Sign out → Create QR → confirm, then Refresh cameras.
