##### Changes since Beta 2

###### Security

- GHSA-cch2-w38h-8f44: `/auth` now validates `X-Server-Port` against a boot-time snapshot of `networking.listen.internal` instead of the live config, and config validation rejects internal and external listening on the same port
- GHSA-vff9-46ww-fjjm: verify motion search jobs belong to the requested camera
- GHSA-q8jx-q884-jcq9: attacker-controlled `recognized_license_plate` regex reaches Python `re.search` on the serialized DB queue thread, letting any authenticated (viewer) user freeze the whole application (ReDoS)


###### Backend

- Fix wrong box format passed to `cv2.dnn.NMSBoxes`
- Fix the OpenVINO YOLOX detector crashing on every detection (broken since 0.15.0)

- Fix maximum update depth exceeded when dragging the handlebar quickly in Motion Search
- Ensure cameras with `ui.review` disabled don't bump alert/detection badge counts, trigger the "new items to review" button, or appear in the review calendar or Motion Review
