MiVOLO v2 (age estimate)

Estimates age per face and body. It feeds the minor-exposed rule. Curator converts it to ONNX with argus-curator mivolo-convert. The estimate is an automated guess: see the limits.

Minimal setup

Convert the model once. This fetches the pinned iitolstykh/mivolo_v2 from Hugging Face and writes mivolo_v2_d1_384.onnx into curator's model directory:
```
pip install 'argus-curator[mivolo-convert]'
argus-curator mivolo-convert
```
To keep the model somewhere else, point ARGUS_CURATOR_MIVOLO_MODEL at the file.
For darkroom, either:
- point ARGUS_DARKROOM_AGE_URL at a curator's POST /faces?body=true, or
- install darkroom's [age] extra and give it the same ONNX file.

An age check that can't run never deletes an image on its own. See Moderation for how the estimate is used.
