Lauri Gates ca6cba9311 perf(ui): decouple face detection from swap in live webcam pipeline
Add a dedicated detection thread that runs face detection continuously
on the latest captured frame and publishes results to a shared dict.
The processing/swap thread reads cached detection results instead of
running detection inline, so it never blocks on the 15-30ms detection
cost.

Architecture change: 2 threads → 3 threads
  Before: capture → [detect + swap] → display
  After:  capture → swap (uses cached detections) → display
                  ↘ detect (async, writes to shared cache) ↗

Also replaces the blocking while/ROOT.update() display loop with
ROOT.after()-based scheduling, which avoids Tk event loop re-entrancy
issues and UI freezes.

Closes #1664

Lauri Gates a1722c7b2e fix(ui): patch CTkOptionMenu for Tk 9.0 compatibility
In Tk 9.0, Menu.index("end") returns "" instead of raising TclError
on empty menus. CustomTkinter's DropdownMenu._add_menu_commands
doesn't handle this case, causing a crash when creating CTkOptionMenu
widgets (e.g., the camera selector dropdown).

Add a monkey-patch that guards against the empty-string return value.
