Merge 2025-07-15 batch into the xlsx; tools to detect & re-track

- merge_2025_07_15_into_xlsx.py: pivot the legacy 2025_07_15_metadata_fixed.csv
  into the unified xlsx schema (one row per fly, training_date_time +
  testing_date_time). Backs up the xlsx before writing. 24 new rows
  across machines 076 / 139 / 145 / 268.
- pick_targets.py: --video flag to bypass the inventory's in_xlsx filter,
  so a specific mp4 can be picked outside the normal flow.
- explore_barrier_signal.py: visualises raw y(t), per-frame inter-fly
  distance, and sliding min/mean distance against a known
  barrier-opening time. Used for prototyping the detector.
- detect_barrier_opening.py: per-ROI sliding-window mean-distance
  change-point estimator (median across ROIs). Currently noisy on a
  one-video calibration set; will be re-tuned once the 4 missing
  2025-07-15 videos are re-tracked.

"""Detect the barrier-opening time from tracking data.
Idea: before the barrier is removed, the two flies in a ROI are stuck on
opposite sides of a divider. Their inter-fly distance is bounded below
by ~the barrier width (typically 100250 px). After removal they can
walk up to each other and the minimum distance drops near zero. We
detect the first time the sliding-window MIN drops below a threshold
and call that the opening moment.
Per-ROI estimates are aggregated (median) across the 6 ROIs of one
video for a single video-level opening time. Disagreeing ROIs are
flagged so the analyst can double-check by eye.
This module exposes ``detect_opening_time(db_path)`` for callers, and
runs as a CLI to produce a TSV with one row per DB. Use::
python detect_barrier_opening.py --db <one.db> # single
python detect_barrier_opening.py # all DBs in TRACKING_OUTPUT_DIR
