Added

• Rewritten start-photon script for automated, unsupervised index updates.
• Update modes:
  • Parallel: downloads index to temp directory, keeping photon running during the download (default)
  • Sequential: minimize storage use by deleting old index before downloading - increases downtime significantly.
• Service shutdown during updates to ensure data integrity.
• Configurable logging with detailed timestamps and adjustable log levels.

Fixed

• Improved error handling and script reliability.
• Enhanced directory management with automated validation and cleanup.
