Compress photo captures so they fit the 7MB upload cap

[jasonvanwyk]

Problem

InAppCamera.tsx calls takePictureAsync({ quality: 1 }) and FileUpload.tsx opens the gallery picker with quality: 1 — both uncompressed. Modern phone cameras (12–200MP) produce 8–15MB JPEGs at that setting, and FileUpload.tsx's maxFileSize = 7 check then rejects them:

"The file size should not be more than 7 MB"

Net effect: on many current devices it is impossible to attach a photo taken with the phone — every capture fails the size check. Reproduced on a Samsung Galaxy A-series taking a work-order image.

Fix

Request quality: 0.5 from both the in-app camera and the gallery picker. A 12MP capture re-encodes to roughly 2–4MB — comfortably under the existing cap, with no visible quality loss for maintenance-evidence photos. The 7MB check is kept as a backstop.

Test plan

• Take a photo with the in-app camera on a modern phone → attaches successfully instead of erroring
• Pick a photo from the gallery → compressed on selection, attaches successfully
• Existing size check still rejects oversized files (e.g. a >14MB source that stays >7MB after re-encode)
