Faces not showing up
So, my problem is exactly as in these message 4 days ago: https://discord.com/channels/979116623879368755/1319711631084617818/1319711631084617818
* I installed fresh immich with default settings using helm chart.
* I can see a lot of logs "Detected X new faces" in the servers logs.
* I don't see any faces in the People/Explore tabs.
Here's how I installed immich: https://github.com/vanchaxy/homelab/tree/main/k8s/apps/immich
I don't want to reinstall it as I have already uploaded 70gb+ photos. And it was a clean installation anyway, without restoring anything, etc. What else can I try?

Immich shows 12k in waiting query.
I checked Redis and it has only 8k keys starting with "immich_bull:facialRecognition:".
I tried:
* pausing/resuing job - no effect
* restarting machine learning - no effect
* restarting the server - after server restart it started to show the correct 8k in waiting and processed all of them in under a minute.
I'm not sure if restarting the server helped or a combination of these things but for now the issue is resolved. But there's probably some bug that causes recognition (but not detection) to stuck.
Should I close this ticket or investigate more?
Immich will not start facial recognition until all face recognition and generate thumbnail jobs are complete
Does this include recalculating the new query size? Will Immich start recognition if all other jobs are paused?
