Description

When I hit setup I get:

('Error:', 'Expected 1 face, found 0 faces. Please make sure your face is in frame, and remove any other things detected as a face from the frame.')

I checked FaceTime to see what's up and half of my face is in shadow from the window next to me. I quit it and relauched, this time facing the window and still got the same error. Looks like face detection needs some work.

Research direction
Investigate the face detection module in the codebase, likely using OpenCV or dlib. Look at how frames are processed and adjust detection thresholds or add preprocessing to handle varied lighting conditions. Check the issue comments for any suggested workarounds or maintainer guidance.
