Research direction

Start by reviewing how RECORDING_MAX_AGE_DAYS is handled by the periodic container and how the Greenlight web interface builds its recording list. Confirm the behavior against the reported filesystem deletion and 404 response; done means deleted recordings no longer appear in Greenlight.
