-BUG-40: RunAI file counts are broken & current state is new when it should be in progress
-BUG-41: Ref img had wrong perms and when copied over for docker failed
-BUG-43: creating person and selecting the ref img, does not actually keep the ref image & if r.encodings is null, we sail on with the work - should just error out/stop the AI job
