The main button advertised long-press for configuration, but a normal tap still opened the preparation sheet whenever a required permission was missing, which is the common first-run state. For a dashcam-style flow tap should just start recording.

Tap now requests the required permissions (camera, storage if needed) and starts with the saved defaults; long-press remains the explicit path to the preparation sheet.

Code changes by Claude Opus running inside Pi.dev. I built and tested this commit, it works fine in my phone.
Depends on #158 to build and run.
