A single person walking under the overhead camera was generating both an
entry and an exit within a few seconds — the line-crossing logic treated
a blob's traversal into one side of the frame and out the other as two
separate events whenever the track spawned near the line, oscillated
against shadows, or churned at creation.
Replaced line-crossing semantics with directional traversal:
- Each track records spawn_y at creation and a counted flag.
- An event fires only if the track is not yet counted, spawned firm on
one side of the line (|spawn_y - line_y| > CV_TRAVERSAL_MARGIN_PX),
and is now firm on the opposite side. Direction of travel determines
entry vs exit. The track is then flagged counted — one trip, one count.
- Cooldown remains as a secondary safety net.
main.cpp: single/double LED pulse on entry/exit detections. Saves and
restores the current LED state so upload (yellow-on) and no-WiFi
indicators aren't clobbered.
Tests updated to walk blobs beyond the margin and register two new
cases: wobble-at-line doesn't count, and a reversed full traversal
doesn't double-count on the same track.

When a blob briefly drops below CV_MIN_BLOB_PX, its track is killed and respawns,
causing the same person to generate multiple counts per visit (~50/min observed
in field). Add a per-direction cooldown (default 5 frames ≈ 0.8s @ 5 fps) that
drops subsequent entries (or exits) within the window of the last counted one.
Entry and exit cooldowns are tracked independently.
Fixed at compile time for now; exposing as a server-push tunable is deferred
until the server-push-config branch lands. See docs/server-prompt-crossing-
cooldown.md for the server-side coordination notes.
