v1.2 - faster detection, better recall

Detection is about twice as fast, and Drive Mode should now find potholes it was quietly missing.

Better recall. The cheap gpt-5-nano pre-screen that gated every Drive Mode frame is gone. An evaluation found it rejecting 8 of 9 potholes the main model catches, so it was suppressing detections rather than saving work. Every frame now goes straight to one gpt-5-mini call. Drive Mode also captures at full resolution instead of 1280px, after a test showed 1280px drops a real pothole that survives at full size.

Faster. Detection ran at the model's default reasoning effort, spending 200+ hidden reasoning tokens per photo before answering a yes/no question. At minimal effort the verdict arrives in roughly half the time, verified accuracy-neutral on the local eval set (6/6 on confirmed potholes at the same median confidence). The verdict now also streams to the screen while the complaint is still being written.

Contract matching deliberately keeps full reasoning effort: it names a real contractor in a government complaint, so it is the wrong place to trade thinking for speed.

Costs more. With no pre-screen, every captured frame reaches the main model, so budget rupees per drive rather than paise.
