Tanya 845b3f3b87 docs: Update architecture documentation and add auto-match load analysis
This commit updates the `ARCHITECTURE.md` file to reflect the transition to a web-based application, including new features and system overview. Additionally, it introduces `AUTOMATCH_LOAD_ANALYSIS.md`, detailing performance issues with the Auto-Match page and recommendations for optimizations. A new document, `CONFIDENCE_CALIBRATION_SUMMARY.md`, is also added to explain the implementation of a confidence calibration system for face recognition, ensuring more accurate match probabilities. These updates enhance the project's documentation and provide insights for future improvements.
