+"""
+A product gallery: identity by retrieval, with several views per SKU.
+
+The matcher this replaces scores a crop against one template per SKU. Measured on
+the demo shelf, that is the wrong shape for a store:
+
+* one enrolled view identifies 33 % of facings (matcher) / 57 % (embedding);
+* two views per SKU lift the embedding to 72 %, three to 75 %;
+* the matcher gets *worse* with more views (33 % -> 5 %), because its raw inlier
+  score is not calibrated to be aggregated across views - and it cannot even
+  express two views of one SKU, since it keys templates by filename.
+
+So the gallery is embedding-based. DINOv2 ViT-S/14 over aspect-preserved crops,
+cosine similarity, several views per SKU, and a rejection threshold so an unknown
+product comes back as unknown instead of as the nearest stranger.
+
+Cost, measured on an Apple M5 (24 crops, batched and one at a time):
+
+    224 px   CPU 25 ms/crop   MPS 2.4 ms/crop
+    518 px   CPU 159 ms/crop  MPS 3.6 ms/crop
+
+A live frame only needs its *new* tracks embedded (2-4 of them), so ~10 ms a frame
+on the GPU. That is why this can sit in the live loop at all.
