🌟 Feature Description

I propose adding a Confirmation Dialog (or Alert Modal) that appears when a user clicks the "Recluster Faces" button in the Settings > Application Controls section.

Currently, clicking the "Recluster Faces" button immediately triggers the triggerGlobalReclustering mutation. Since this is a resource-intensive operation that rebuilds face clusters from scratch, users should be warned about the consequences and asked to confirm their intent before the process begins.

🔍 Problem Statement

  1. No Safety Net: There is no intermediate step. A single click initiates a heavy backend process.
  2. User Frustration: An accidental click could consume system resources or alter data organization unexpectedly, with no obvious way to cancel.

🎯 Expected Outcome

  1. Interaction Update: Clicking "Recluster Faces" should not immediately call the API.
  2. UI Feedback: A modal/dialog should appear with a warning message:
    • Title: "Start Global Reclustering?"
    • Message: "This process will rebuild all face clusters from scratch. It may take a significant amount of time and system resources. Are you sure you want to continue?"
  3. Action:
    • Cancel: Closes the dialog; no action taken.
    • Confirm: Closes dialog and triggers reclusterMutation.mutate().

🛠 Proposed Implementation

Modify ApplicationControlsCard.tsx to include a state for the dialog visibility and wrap the mutation trigger.
