feat(vision): persist every recognized plate + snapshot as telemetry (non-blocking)

Answers "is a recognized plate saved?" — now yes, for both transient and subscriber, as
an ANPR audit trail independent of whether it matched anything.

VisionReader now stores the snapshot bytes in `snapshots` keyed by identity=PLATE — the
same identity the flow signs its anomaly/event with — so GET /api/snapshots/by-identity/:plate
(the booth event-detail modal's snapshot strip) shows the car's photo against that
anomaly with no UI changes. It also records an unsigned device_events{kind:"read"}
breadcrumb (plate, confidence, region, model, snapshotId, and the dispatch outcome) as a
queryable recognition log. Switched from emitRead to calling ReadDispatcher.dispatch
directly (like qr-reader) to capture that outcome.

Non-blocking: a refused read (no session / unpaid / unknown plate) just returns
rejected — no barrier hold — and is logged with its snapshot for investigation. Plate
stays advisory (exit demands payment; subscription matches only a bound plate).

Verified e2e: a recognized AL plate with no open session signed exit.refused.noSession
(identity=plate), stored a 555KB snapshot under that plate, recorded the read breadcrumb
(accepted:false, reason "no open session"), and by-identity returned the image — the
refused read is fully investigable with its picture. Build + lint green.

 ## [2026-06-19] feat | VisionReader — wire ANPR into the read bus (apps/server/src/vision-reader.ts)
 
 Wired the vision service into the entry/exit flows via the READ BUS. VisionReader polls each OPT-IN camera (config.anpr===true, off by default) every VISION_POLL_MS, captures a snapshot → VisionClient.analyze → on a CONFIDENT plate calls deviceEvents.emitRead({kind:"plate", value:PLATE, deviceId, driverId}) — the SAME event a physical plate reader emits, so the existing ReadDispatcher routes it to the subscription/exit flow UNCHANGED (no flow rewrite). The plate stays ADVISORY by construction: the exit flow still demands a covering payment (a plate can't bypass it), the subscription flow only matches a BOUND plate (subscriptionPlates). Guards: low-confidence reads DROPPED (a shaky read isn't an identity); DEBOUNCE (VISION_DEDUPE_MS, default 15s) so a parked car in frame doesn't re-fire the same plate; per-camera in-flight guard; idle when VISION_ENABLED off or no camera opts in; #recognizeOn is public for a future on-demand trigger (loop edge / API). Direction from directionOf (both→entry context). Constructed in server.ts, start on onReady / stop on onClose. VERIFIED END-TO-END: in-memory anpr camera returning the AL plate image + live fast_alpr service → VisionReader emitted exactly one {kind:"plate",value:"AA558EE"} read onto the bus; debounce held it to 1 emit over 7 polls. Build+lint green. Updated [[opencv-anpr-service]] (trigger-wiring gap + per-camera opt-in marked done). Remaining: SetupWizard anpr toggle, field tuning, weight-provenance, Job 2.

+VisionReader now PERSISTS every confident plate read so a recognition is investigable — and switched from emitRead to calling ReadDispatcher.dispatch directly (like qr-reader) to capture the OUTCOME. On a confident plate it: (1) stores the SNAPSHOT bytes in `snapshots` keyed by identity=PLATE — the SAME identity the flow signs its anomaly/event with — so GET /api/snapshots/by-identity/:plate (the booth event-detail modal's SnapshotStrip, which already uses e.identity) shows the car's photo against that anomaly with ZERO UI changes; (2) records an unsigned device_events{kind:"read"} breadcrumb with plate/confidence/region/modelVersion/snapshotId + the dispatch outcome (accepted + reason) = a queryable ANPR log independent of the signed ledger; (3) dispatches the read — NON-BLOCKING: a refused read just returns rejected (no barrier hold), logged with its snapshot for investigation. Plate stays advisory (exit demands payment; subscription matches only a bound plate). VERIFIED e2e: a recognized AL plate (AA558EE) with no open session → signed exit.refused.noSession anomaly (identity=plate), stored a 555KB snapshot under that plate, read-breadcrumb accepted:false reason:"no open session", and by-identity returned the image (status 200, 1 snapshot) → the refused read is investigable with its picture. Build+lint green. VisionReader constructor now takes the ReadDispatcher (wired in server.ts). Answers "is a recognized plate saved?" — now YES for both transient + subscriber, as telemetry + evidence image, regardless of match. Updated [[opencv-anpr-service]].
