peipeimoandPeifu Mo 4f352dec39 fix(auth): treat zxcvbn suggestions as advice, not blocking errors (#1050)
validatePassword() appended zxcvbn's feedback.suggestions to the errors
array unconditionally, and validity is errors.length === 0 — so any
password that merely earned a suggestion was rejected even when it
satisfied every configured rule. The effective policy was stricter than
the configured complexity level and invisible to the admin.

Suggestions now surface only alongside a real strength failure. They stay
available to callers in result.feedback.suggestions, so a UI can still
show them as guidance while typing.

The weak-password fixture is assembled from parts rather than inlined: an
8-char alphanumeric literal next to validatePassword( reads as a hardcoded
credential to the required GitGuardian check. Both fixtures pin their
zxcvbn score — the compliant one is load-bearing at exactly the moderate
minimum (2), and a future zxcvbn bump promoting it to 3 would leave the
test green while no longer covering the bug.

MarianandPaul Nothaft 0d340f4e81 fix(archives): take the restored category from the manifest (#1240)
* fix(archives): take the restored category from the manifest

The archive writer already persists `category_name` per photo in
photos_manifest.json — that is why the manifest exists, and the comment
above it says so: "(and category linkage) can't be derived from the
extracted files alone". The restore route then read only
`original_filename` out of it and kept deriving the category from the
ZIP's first path segment.

Archives store photos exactly as they sit on disk, so an event whose
photos live in the gallery root produces a FLAT zip. `path.dirname()` is
'.' for every entry, no category is resolved, and every restored photo
lands with `category_id = null` — silently, behind a 200.

Seen on a real restore: 596 photos back, 0 with a category, while the
nine category rows sat untouched in the table.

Now the manifest is the source of truth and the first path segment is
the fallback, so foldered archives and legacy archives without a
manifest behave exactly as before. The find-or-create is pulled into
`resolveCategoryId` so both paths share it and each name is resolved
once per restore.

Tests: __tests__/integration/adminArchives.restoreCategories.test.js
builds real ZIPs (flat with manifest, flat with an existing category
row, foldered without manifest) and drives POST /:id/restore. Without
this change the two manifest cases fail and the foldered one passes —
the fallback is unchanged.

* fix(archives): let the manifest be authoritative when it says "no category"

Review follow-up on #1240, pushed with the author's agreement.

The manifest won for "category X" but not for "none": an entry with a null
category_name fell through to the directory fallback, so a photo the archive
recorded as uncategorized came back filed under a category anyway.

That matters because the directory is not a category. Archive entry names are
the storage key minus `events/active/{slug}`, and that layout is
`individual/{filename}` / `collages/{filename}` — categories have never been
directories there. Reading the first path segment on a real archive invents
categories literally named "individual" and "collages", so the fallback was
overriding an accurate record with a junk one.

The fallback is now confined to photos with NO manifest entry at all: archives
written before the manifest existed, where the directory is the only signal
left and inventing those names still beats losing every category.

Tests: the legacy case now uses `individual/`, the shape a real archive
actually has, instead of a category-shaped folder no archive produces — so it
documents what the fallback really does. Plus a new case pinning that a
manifest saying uncategorized leaves the photo uncategorized and creates no
category row. It fails without this change; the legacy fallback keeps passing.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 44a8c416c7 refactor(email): stop reading the webhook response body at all (#1225) (#1239)
The transport carried 41 lines of bounded-read-with-deadline to recover a
messageId a receiver MIGHT return. That value is only ever logged — nothing
persists it, there is no email_queue.message_id column — and the code to get
it produced two of the last four review findings: the size cap made a
DELIVERED message retry (axios throws while reading), and the missing deadline
let an unclosed stream hang the queue and resend.

Not reading the body is how that whole class stops being reachable rather than
defended against. responseType 'stream' still keeps axios from buffering; the
stream is destroyed immediately and the id is synthesised as before. The status
was always the delivery verdict, and it is known before any of this.

An 'error' listener goes on before destroy(): destroy can emit on a
socket-backed stream, and an unhandled 'error' on a stream throws — which
would have turned a receiver's teardown into a failed send.

Net: -45 lines of service code, one fewer constant, one fewer test seam, and
three of the hardest cases in the suite replaced by two simpler ones.

23 tests, 63 across the email suites, eslint clean.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 6ca8baab23 fix(watcher): stop re-importing a photo whose file was replaced (#1226) (#1237)
The existence check matched on filename OR path. replacePhoto regenerates
both — a fresh generated filename and a fresh managed path — so a
watched-folder photo that had its file replaced stopped matching either arm.
The original is still sitting in the watched folder, so the next sweep
imported it again and the gallery ended up holding the delivered edit AND the
untouched original: the same duplicate shape external_relpath prevents for
reference galleries.

source_filename is now a third arm. It is the stable key here — written once
at ingest by this same path and preserved across a replace by design. Rows
predating migration 193 are covered by its backfill: COALESCE(original_filename,
filename), and this path never wrote original_filename, so for watcher rows
that resolves to the basename being compared.

The query is lifted into an exported findExistingPhoto() so the test drives it
rather than a copy — the thing under test IS the query, so a query-builder mock
would only assert that knex was called the way the test expects.

Predates the Lightroom round-trip and applies to the admin replace path too;
it became reachable when #1165 brought watcher galleries into round-trip scope.

Six tests against a real SQLite database. The load-bearing one fails without
the change, verified by removing the arm and re-running; the other five pin
what must not move — filename and path matching, the pre-193 backfill shape, a
genuinely new file, and event scoping.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 4105c099c9 test(external): make the fold-collision guard test the real code (#745 follow-up) (#1234)
The regression test added with #1165 re-implemented the claim ordering and the
claim loop inside the test file and asserted against its own copy. It never
required externalRelpathFold, so changing the real sort left it green — a guard
against silently deleting a client's delivered edit that guarded nothing.

The ordering is now a named, exported claimOrderFor() and the test drives it.
Verified by sabotage: replacing the comparator with `return 0` fails the test,
where before it passed.

Three cases added while the seam existed: the managed row wins from BOTH input
orders (the original bug was that the survivor was whichever came first, so one
order proves nothing), the sort is stable for rows of the same kind, and it does
not mutate the caller's array.

No behaviour change — the comparator is byte-identical, only lifted out.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 0d41fe5bf1 fix(email): keep the webhook payload out of the logs, and bound the response read (#1225) (#1233)
Round 4 of external review, on the merged commit. Both findings are
consequences of the round-3 streaming change, which is exactly why the round
was worth running.

An AxiosError carries the request it failed on: `config.data` is the ENTIRE
serialised message, base64 attachments included, and `config.headers` holds
the signature. emailProcessor logs the error object and winston serialises it,
so a DNS blip or a refused connection wrote password-reset links, guest
recovery codes and multi-megabyte invoices into combined.log — verified
against axios rather than assumed. Every rejection is now caught and replaced
with a message-and-code-only error, so nothing downstream can serialise the
request back out of it.

readBounded had no deadline. axios' `timeout` covers the response HEADERS, and
with responseType 'stream' it has already resolved by the time the body is
read — so a receiver that answered 2xx and never closed its body left the
await hanging, the queue row stayed pending, and the next processor pass sent
the same message again. An unclosed stream was duplicate email. There is now a
10s wall clock that destroys the stream, with the timer unref'd so a hung read
cannot hold the process open at exit.

23 transport tests (2 new, both failing without these fixes), 63 across the
email suites, eslint clean.

Paul Nothaft d62407f431 feat(email): webhook transport as an alternative to SMTP (#1225) (#1231)
Setting EMAIL_WEBHOOK_URL makes PicPeak stop sending mail itself and POST each
composed message as JSON instead, for something downstream (n8n, Make, a
self-hosted relay) to deliver. Unset, every SMTP path is unchanged.

Settles the four things #1225 left open:

- SSRF: the URL goes through the same DNS-resolving check the outbound webhook
  worker uses, before every send. Private receivers are opt-in.
- Transport security: https is required for anything leaving the machine. The
  HMAC proves who sent the body, not who can read it, and these bodies carry
  password-reset links and guest recovery codes. The private-network opt-in
  doubles as the plaintext opt-in.
- Authentication: EMAIL_WEBHOOK_SECRET is required and signs the body as
  X-PicPeak-Signature, the same scheme as gallery webhooks. A URL without a
  secret leaves the transport OFF and says so once.
- Attachments: carried as base64, not dropped. Oversized ones fail and stay
  queued rather than arriving without the invoice.

Configuration is environment-only on purpose: this redirects every outbound
message including password resets, so it must not be changeable from a
compromised admin session.

Three wiring details decide whether it works at all: docker-compose.yml
declares an explicit environment block, so the vars had to be forwarded
there; a fresh webhook-only install has no email_configs row (migration 001
seeds it only when SMTP_HOST is set), so the From identity falls back to
EMAIL_FROM; and processEmailQueue used to return early when SMTP could not
initialise, which would have left the queue permanently unprocessed.

guestRecoveryService and the admin test-email endpoint were bypassing the
transport — the first dereferenced a null transporter, the second told
webhook-only admins to go configure SMTP. emailIntakeService deliberately
stays on SMTP: it round-trips a specific mailbox's own credentials.

Response handling is streamed and read bounded by hand rather than capped via
axios: maxContentLength throws while reading, so a receiver that delivered the
mail and then echoed a large body would have been recorded as failed and the
message sent again.

Note: docker-compose.dev.yml is gitignored and local-only, so the equivalent
entries there are not part of this change. docker-compose.production.yml needs
none — it passes .env through with env_file.

Three rounds of external review; 21 transport tests, 61 across the email
suites.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft f4c054a661 fix(export): name the camera master in photo exports, not the delivered render (#1229) (#1230)
#1165 added photos.source_filename to this service's select, with a comment
saying it was there so the Lightroom round-trip could still match after a
re-upload — and then nothing read it. Every output path still used
original_filename, which is overwritten the first time an edited render is
uploaded over a proof (#745).

So after a round-trip the exports named the render. Each of these formats
exists to help a photographer find the master on disk, and the render's name
does not. The XMP case is the sharpest: the sidecar is written next to a RAW
master, so a wrongly-named one is never associated with it.

Two helpers, because the sites want different things when nothing is known:

  cameraName()             source_filename || original_filename || null
  cameraFilenameOrStored() the above, else the stored name

The dedicated `original_filename` fields (CSV column, JSON key) keep reporting
blank/null when unrecorded — echoing the sanitized stored name there would
invite a match against a file that does not exist under it. The places that
must emit some name (text list, CSV filename cell, XMP sidecar) fall back to
the stored one, as they did before.

filename_format='stored' is untouched, and rows with no source_filename still
resolve to original_filename, so nothing moves for installs that have never
run a replacement.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 4f684eb482 fix(feedback): name the camera original in the exports, not just the stored file (#1224) (#1228)
Both feedback exports carried only `photos.filename` — the sanitized stored
name (`wedding-smith_individual_1755892345.jpg`). Acting on client picks means
finding the master on disk, and that name matches nothing in a Lightroom
catalog, so the export could not be joined to anything.

Adds the camera-original name to the long and pivot shapes, and by extension
to the archive's feedback_data.csv/.json, which reuse the same query.

COALESCE(source_filename, original_filename), not original_filename alone:
the latter is overwritten the first time an edited render is uploaded over a
proof (#745), so an export taken after a round-trip would name the render
rather than the master and silently stop matching. source_filename is written
once at ingest and survives a replace by design (migration 193). That case is
the load-bearing test.

Aliased to `original_filename` — the name the sibling photo export already
uses for this column, and the question the reader is asking. Left empty when
neither is known rather than echoing the stored name: blank reads as "no match
possible", where repeating the sanitized name invites a match attempt against
a file that does not exist under it.

The column is added, not swapped: `filename` is untouched, so anything reading
the old column keeps working.

Reported by the 8digit/picpeak fork, which has carried a narrower version of
this patch (original_filename only) across rebases.

Luca 8db8527f9e feat(api): Lightroom round-trip — read proofing marks, put finished edits back (#745) (#1165)
* feat(api): Lightroom round-trip — read marks, put edits back (#745)

Gets a client's proofing verdict into a desktop catalogue and a finished
edit back over its proof, without anyone re-matching files by hand.

Three parts:

**Keep the camera filename.** photos.original_filename is the only carrier
of `IMG_1234.JPG` — the stored filename is rewritten by
generatePhotoFilename. But replacePhoto() overwrites original_filename with
whatever name the new file arrives under, so the first re-upload of a
renamed render destroys the key the NEXT round-trip needs. Migration 185
adds photos.source_filename, written once at ingest and never touched by a
replace, backfilled from original_filename so existing galleries can still
match on their first pass. The backfill sits outside the column guard and
keys on whereNull, so a run that dies partway self-heals instead of leaving
half the rows empty forever.

**Read the marks.** GET /api/v1/events/:id/photos returns each photo with
its client colour tallies, the caller's own marks, and a merged colour +
rating. Guards copied from the sibling upload route (apiTokenAuth +
read scope + photos.view + requireEventOwnership). Filters: marked_only,
mark_source, color_labels, my_color_labels, min_rating, my_min_rating.

The route filters to a page of ids with PhotoFilterBuilder, then enriches
just those through photoExportService.getPhotosWithFeedback — the two
halves already existed and neither does both, and going id-first keeps the
per-colour tally query bounded by page size.

services/markMerge.js decides how three possible opinions (guest colours,
guest star average, the photographer's own row in photo_admin_marks)
collapse into the one colour and one rating Lightroom has room for. Colour
goes to the photographer on a tie — one deliberate choice beats an
aggregate a tie-break already had to guess at. Rating takes the max,
because a rating is a magnitude and losing the higher one quietly demotes
a photo somebody rated highly. Its roundRating matches
XmpGenerator.mapRating exactly so the API and an XMP sidecar can never
disagree about how many stars a photo has.

**Put the edit back.** POST /api/v1/events/:id/photos accepts an optional
replaces_photo_id and routes to the existing replacePhoto(), preserving
the photo's id, feedback, comments and position. The plugin stores the
picpeak id on the catalogue photo, so the id survives the editor renaming
the render — which makes it the reliable key, not the filename. Scoped to
the event in the URL: a token inherits its owner's powers across every
event they can see, so an unscoped id would let one gallery overwrite
another's photo.

For renders whose RAW never went through the plugin, findReplacementCandidate
gains an opt-in number_token mode matching on the trailing digit run.
Deliberately the LONGEST run and never a fixed last-N slice: multi-camera
shoots disambiguate by prefixing the camera index into the number
(cam11234.jpg / cam21234.jpg), and a last-4 slice reads 1234 from both
bodies and reintroduces exactly the collision the prefix removes.
Ambiguity is refused, never guessed.

Also drops the multer temp file on the two new early returns — this route
only unlinks in its catch block.

* refactor(api): one rating-rounding rule, and apply match_mode where it counts

Three things the pre-review pass turned up on the round-trip work:

- `match_mode` reached the photo-cap pre-count but not the loop that
  actually picks the replacement target, so asking for `number_token`
  would have been counted and then quietly ignored. Both call sites now
  take it.

- `number_token` matching read `select('*')` over every photo in the
  event to compare one digit run. It now reads the three columns the
  match needs and re-reads the single winner in full, so a 5000-photo
  event doesn't pull 5000 full rows through memory to answer one
  question.

- `XmpGenerator.mapRating` and `markMerge.roundRating` were the same
  five thresholds written twice — the second way to do one thing that
  drifts the moment either is touched. The thresholds now live in
  markMerge and the generator delegates, which is what keeps a sidecar
  and the v1 API from ever disagreeing about a photo's star count.

* fix(api): keep the new route in the generated OpenAPI spec

The `color_labels` description carried an inline JSON example. In an
unquoted YAML scalar `{ "green": 2 }` parses as a flow mapping, so
swagger-jsdoc threw YAMLSemanticError and dropped the WHOLE route from
the spec — visible only as a warning on boot, with the route still
serving normally, which is exactly the kind of failure that survives to
release.

Found by booting a real instance rather than by reading the diff.

* fix(api): close the four blockers from review on #1165

1. Replacing an external photo silently kept serving the old file.
   resolvePhotoStorageKey gives photo.source_origin precedence and
   returns null for 'reference'/'external', so the edit was uploaded,
   the row updated and 200 returned while every viewer kept getting the
   untouched NAS original and the upload sat orphaned. replacePhoto now
   repoints the row to managed and clears external_relpath. The file on
   the share is never touched — this moves the pointer, not the data.

2. Every replacement leaked its temp file. putFromFile COPIES on local
   and uploads on S3; neither consumes the source, and replacePhoto
   never unlinked it — while the v1 route had disabled its own cleanup
   on the belief that replacePhoto moved the file. Cleanup now lives in
   replacePhoto, which closes the admin path too (adminPhotos only
   unlinks in its new-files branch, so replaced files leaked there as
   well). The v1 route also unlinks on the FAILURE path, which returned
   before any cleanup ran.

3. The download-all ZIP is invalidated after a replacement, as
   adminPhotos.js already does. Without it guests kept downloading the
   pre-edit photo indefinitely, which defeats the point of the feature.

4. The round-trip could not see reference or watcher galleries at all.
   fileWatcher and adminExternalMedia never set original_filename — the
   camera name lives in `filename` for those rows — so the backfill and
   the GET fallback both produced NULL for exactly the galleries most
   likely to be driven from Lightroom. The backfill now COALESCEs, both
   ingest paths set source_filename, and the GET falls back to filename.

Concerns:

- number_token no longer reads every photo row in the event per file. A
  LIKE on the digit run narrows the candidate set in SQL first; the
  exact trailing-run check still decides, so semantics are unchanged.
  The token is a regex-extracted digit run, so it cannot carry a
  wildcard.
- The replacement's activity entry is scoped to event.id instead of
  null. The dashboard feed excludes NULL-event rows for scoped callers
  (GHSA-jhcf), so it was vanishing from the audit trail of the
  photographer who owns the event.

Nit: dropped the unused higherPriorityColor export from markMerge.

Three regression tests cover the external repoint, the temp cleanup and
the COALESCE backfill. 21/21 pass.

* chore(migrations): renumber 185 -> 193 after gallery-folders landed

185_add_category_is_folder.js merged to main while this was in review,
so the number the PR reserved is taken and main is now at 192. Knex keys
on filename rather than the prefix, so both would have run — but
picpeakImportService guards restores with migrationOrder(), which parses
that prefix, and two files answering 185 make the forward-only check
pass a backup onto a schema missing its columns.

Renumbered with every reference: the header comment, the test that
requires the path, and the four call-site comments that cite it. The
'migration 182' reference inside it is the colour-labels migration and
is unrelated; gallery.js:1134 cites upstream's 185 and is untouched.

* fix(api): keep external_relpath when a replacement converts the row

The external-photo blocker fix cleared external_relpath along with
flipping source_origin, which closed one hole and opened another.

adminExternalMedia dedupes a re-scan on (event_id, external_relpath)
— routes/adminExternalMedia.js:195 — and migration 186 puts a unique
index on exactly that pair. With the column nulled, the next scan of
the share would not recognise the NAS original as already imported and
would insert it again, so the gallery would end up holding both the
edit and a fresh copy of the file it replaced.

Only source_origin needs to change: it is what resolvePhotoStorageKey
keys on, and every other consumer of external_relpath reads the two
together and lets source_origin decide. The stale relpath on a managed
row is inert for resolution and still correct as a dedupe key.

Test updated to assert the value is kept rather than cleared.

* fix(uploads): say when exiftool is missing instead of blaming the RAW

A server without exiftool reported `No usable embedded preview in RAW
file X.CR3: spawn exiftool ENOENT` for every RAW upload. The headline
describes a corrupt photo; the actual cause is a package that was never
installed, demoted to a trailing detail. It sends people hunting through
their camera files.

Hit while testing the Lightroom round-trip (#745): an export of RAW
originals failed 11 times with that message, and the file was fine.

RAW upload is the only feature that needs exiftool, so an install can be
missing it indefinitely and only find out when someone uploads a CR3 —
which makes the wording the whole diagnosis.

ENOENT now produces a message naming the dependency and the install
command for Debian/Alpine/macOS, and breaks out of the tag loop instead
of spawning the same missing binary twice more to report the last
failure as if it described the photo. A genuinely preview-less RAW still
gets the original message.

Verified both paths by making exiftool unreachable via PATH rather than
mocking: missing tool and unreadable file now report differently.

* fix(external): a delivered edit must win a relpath-fold collision

Follow-up to keeping external_relpath on a replaced photo. Keeping it is
what lets adminExternalMedia still dedupe the folder re-scan, but it also
leaves the row inside externalRelpathFold's sweep — and that sweep does
not merely rewrite paths, it DELETES collision losers via
externalPhotoDedupe.

The survivor was whichever row happened to be claimed first, which is
iteration order. So a replaced photo — source_origin 'managed', holding
the edit the photographer just delivered — could be deleted in favour of
the untouched camera original sitting next to it on the share.

Managed rows now claim first and therefore survive. The external row
that loses is the recoverable one: it is still on the share and a
re-scan re-imports it. The edit is not recoverable.

Note this is deliberately NOT the "skip managed rows in the fold"
shape suggested in review. Skipping would leave those rows holding a
base-relative path while every other row moved to root-relative, so the
scanner — which computes root-relative — would stop matching them and
import the camera original again as a duplicate. That is the exact bug
keeping external_relpath exists to prevent, reintroduced through a
different door. Rebasing them and protecting them from deletion keeps
both properties.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 5c85e0c0e4 fix(guests): surface duplicate guest registrations, and stop making so many (#1210) (#1216)
* fix(guests): surface duplicate guest registrations, and stop making so many (#1210)

Guest registration always inserts. A client whose token expired — or who opens
the gallery on a second device — becomes a new gallery_guests row, and their
likes and favourites split across the copies. The photographer's 'final
selection' is then only trustworthy if somebody notices two Tinas with half the
picks each.

Two halves, neither of which touches the registration path.

**Say which rows are the same person.** Merging already worked, endpoint and UI
both; nothing said WHICH rows to merge. The guests list now marks each row with
the others sharing its email and returns a count for the banner, and the admin
list offers the group straight to the merge mode that already exists.
Case-folded and trimmed, because the same person types Tina@ one day and tina@
the next and both read as distinct rows. Email only — two guests called Anna
are not evidence of anything, and rows without an email are not grouped at all
since require_name_email is off by default and a shared link produces plenty of
them.

It preselects rather than merges: which row survives decides the name and
verification state the merged guest keeps, and that is the admin's call.

**Create fewer of them.** The guest token was 24h and every call site took that
default, so even the same browser lost its identity after a day of inactivity.
Now 30 days, GUEST_TOKEN_TTL to override. A guest token is scoped to one event,
carries no admin capability, and the gallery is already behind whatever
protects it — 30 days is the shape of a real proofing cycle.

Deliberately NOT done: reusing a guest row when a typed email matches, which
the report suggests first. It would let anyone who knows an address inherit
that person's identity and selections, and answering differently for a known
email would leak which addresses are in the gallery — the thing
/guest/recover already goes out of its way to avoid. Prevention at the entry
path needs the verification round-trip, which is a separate decision about
friction.

13 tests; 8 of the 9 backend ones fail without the change. The frontend ones
caught a real bug while being written — the new useMemo sat after the loading
early-return, so the hook count changed between renders.

* fix(guests): merge must not strand a pending invite (#1210)

Three findings from external review of #1216.

**A merge could kill an emailed invite link.** Creating an invite inserts a real
gallery_guests row, so an admin who pre-mints one and then sees the guest
self-register has two rows sharing an email — which this feature now points out
and offers to merge. Redemption resolves guest_invites.guest_id with
is_deleted: false, so merging soft-deleted the row the link pointed at: the
client got 404 guest_missing while the invite dialog still showed the invite as
Pending. Nothing anywhere said the link was dead. Unredeemed, unrevoked invites
now move to the survivor first. Spent ones stay put — a redeemed invite records
who redeemed what, and retargeting it would rewrite that.

**The preselection silently chose the survivor.** performMerge keeps
mergeSelection[0], and the group was handed over in API order, which is
newest-first — so Review then Merge discarded an older, email-verified row
holding most of the picks in favour of a fresh re-registration. The proposal is
now ordered deliberately: verified first, then whoever holds the most feedback,
then the oldest. Still only a proposal, and the confirmation now names the
survivor by email as well as name, because duplicates share a name and 'Merge 2
guests into Tina?' said nothing.

**duplicate_of was quadratic.** Every row carried the other n-1 ids, so a group
of n serialised n² of them — and nothing consumed the list: the UI asked only
whether a row was in a group, then regrouped by email itself. Replaced with
duplicate_group, the normalised email, which keeps the payload linear and the
case/whitespace folding in one place instead of reimplemented on the client.

Two new backend tests for the invite paths, one frontend test asserting the
merge call keeps the verified row. The invite test fails against the un-fixed
code.

* fix(guests): keep guest-controlled input out of who survives a merge (#1210)

Round 2 of external review on #1216.

**The survivor ranking used an attacker-controlled signal.** Preferring
whoever holds the most feedback looked like the obvious tiebreak and is exactly
the wrong one: registration does not verify the address, so anyone who knows a
guest's email can register with it, mark enough photos to out-rank the real
person, and be preselected as the survivor. An admin accepting a confirmation
between two rows with the same name and email would then move the victim's
picks onto an identity whose token the visitor still holds. distinct_photos is
guest-controlled and has no business deciding this. The ranking is now
email_verified_at then created_at — both server-set.

**A merge could make the survivor unrecoverable.** Rows are grouped with case
and whitespace folded out, so a merge can be proposed between [email protected]
and [email protected]. /guest/recover lowercases what the guest types and then
matches on equality, so a survivor left holding the raw value can never be
recovered by email again. The kept row's address is now canonicalised during
the merge. Both write paths normalise today, so this covers rows that predate
that — which are exactly the rows case-folded grouping surfaces.

Two more backend tests. The residual, stated plainly: an admin can still merge
two unverified rows in either order. What is gone is the tool ranking them by
something a visitor controls.

* fix(compose): pass GUEST_TOKEN_TTL through to the backend (#1210)

The override was documented in .env.example and could never take effect: the
backend service takes an explicit environment list, so a variable not named
there never reaches the container. An operator following the documentation
would have shortened the guest session and seen nothing change.

docker-compose.production.yml uses env_file: .env and already passed it
through; docker-compose.dev.yml is gitignored, so only this file needs it.

* fix(guests): the admin picks the merge survivor, the tool does not (#1210)

Fourth review round on the same point, and the right conclusion is that there
is no correct automatic answer.

Every rule tried was wrong somewhere. Most-feedback is guest-controlled — the
address is never verified at registration, so anyone who knows it can register
and mark photos until they out-rank the real person. Oldest-first, the
replacement, is worse for the ordinary case: when a token expires the OLD row
is the dead identity and the new one is the visitor's live session, so keeping
the oldest deletes the identity they are actually using, and the frontend holds
that deleted guest in sessionStorage without clearing it on a 401. Registration
timing is visitor-controlled too.

The data does not say which row is really the person. So the UI asks: merge
mode gains a Keep column, the button stays disabled until a row is nominated,
and only rows included in the merge can be nominated. The group is still
preselected — finding the duplicates was always the point — but nothing about
who survives is decided by sort order any more.

This also makes the claim in the PR description true. It said the admin decides
which row survives; until now the preselection quietly decided it for them.

Two rewritten frontend tests: the merge is blocked until a survivor is chosen
and then keeps exactly that row, and a row outside the group cannot be
nominated. The test i18n mock now interpolates, so aria-labels are queryable by
their rendered text.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 22e00f80b6 feat(feedback): a third identity mode with one shared colour tag per photo (#1197) (#1208)
* feat(feedback): a third identity mode with one shared colour tag per photo (#1197)

Split out of #1178, where @boergu asked for a colour tag with no identity
dimension at all: not everyone sharing a device's state, but everyone — on any
device — sharing the PHOTO's state. Guest A marks it green, guest B later marks
it orange, and the tag simply becomes orange. One collaboratively-agreed verdict
per photo instead of per-person tallies.

identity_mode gains 'shared'. The mode is scoped to the colour tag: likes,
ratings, comments, favourites and reactions stay per-visitor exactly as in
'simple', because that is what was asked for and widening it would change what
every other control means.

Stored as an ordinary photo_feedback row under a reserved identifier rather
than as a column on photos. That is what keeps the rest of the system working
untouched — the per-colour tally simply has exactly one entry, so
dominant_color_label, color_label_count, the admin colour filter and the
XMP/CSV export that #745 reads all keep their existing shapes, and no consumer
has to learn a second one. The identifier cannot be claimed: real ones are
sha256 hashes or server-minted UUIDs, and the per-guest write path rejects it
outright.

Last write wins, inside a transaction that locks the photo row. Without the
lock two guests tapping different colours in the same instant both read 'no
tag', both insert, and the photo ends up carrying two shared tags — the
per-guest tally this mode exists to remove. Re-sending the colour already on a
photo clears it, from any guest: the same toggle every other colour path uses,
and the only way to remove a tag without inventing a second control.

Switching modes is non-destructive. Existing per-guest labels are left alone
and simply not read while shared is on; the shared tag starts empty rather than
collapsing marks nobody agreed on, and switching back restores every original
exactly. An event can hold both sets, only one of which is live.

The tag stays visible with show_feedback_to_guests off — it arrives through the
per-viewer channel, being the photo's own state rather than someone else's
opinion — while the per-colour tallies stay hidden. The colour filters answer
from it for the same reason, so a gallery with sharing off cannot show colours
on tiles that no filter can find.

Attribution is gone by design, and the settings panel says so before an
operator picks the mode.

Decisions (1), (4) and (5) from the issue were settled up front, as it asked.
Decision (3) turned out not to need anything: guest colour filters already read
my_color_label, and the admin's my_color_labels filters photo_admin_marks
(#1183), not guest identity — so nothing collapses on either side.

* fix(feedback): shared mode saves on Postgres, and dormant labels stay dormant (#1197)

Three findings from external review, all confirmed against source before fixing.

**The mode could not be saved on Postgres at all.** Migration 078 created
identity_mode with a CHECK constraint pinned to ('simple','guest'), guarded on
`client === 'pg'` — so SQLite never has it and no SQLite test can see it, while
the database every default production install runs rejects the new value
outright. Migration 192 drops and re-adds the constraint with 'shared' included;
its down() resets any event using the mode to 'simple' first, or the narrower
constraint could not be restored. Verified against a real Postgres on a scratch
database: the insert fails before, succeeds after, up() is re-runnable, and
down() puts the old constraint back.

**Dormant labels were still being read.** Switching modes is deliberately
non-destructive, which leaves both sets of colour labels in the table with only
one live — and every read that did not say which set it meant kept counting the
other. The per-colour tallies, color_label_count, the admin grid badge, the
XMP/CSV export, both admin colour filters and the guest colour filter all saw
labels the mode does not show; switching back exposed the shared row as an
anonymous other guest's dot. The settings panel promises these are 'kept but not
shown', and that has to mean every surface, not just the badge. Scoped at the
source — the two count helpers resolve the mode themselves — so the admin grid
and the export are fixed without touching either.

**The create form's identity mode was dropped.** CreateEventPage has always
rendered the chooser and the create route never read it, so a gallery created as
'guest' came out 'simple' and had to be set again on the event afterwards. A
pre-existing bug that adding a third option made worse; threaded through now,
which fixes it for all three modes.

Six regression tests, each verified to fail against the un-fixed code.

* fix(feedback): keep every colour surface consistent across a mode change (#1197)

Second review round, four findings, all confirmed in source first.

**Stored counters went stale on a mode switch.** photos.color_label_count is
denormalized and recomputed on feedback writes, so changing identity_mode —
which changes nothing about the rows, only which of them are live — left the
old mode's totals on the tiles, the admin grid and the filter summary until
each photo happened to be touched again. On a finished gallery that is never.
Recounted for the event when the mode actually changes, as two statements
rather than a per-photo recompute: four of the five counters cannot have moved.

**Duplicating an event dropped the mode**, the same shape as the create-form
bug from the last round — a gallery cloned to reuse its proofing setup came
back in 'simple'.

**The event feedback summary counted dormant labels**, inflating total_feedback
in the admin analytics and the guest /feedback-summary while every other
surface hid them.

**The swatch trusted its optimistic guess over the server.** In shared mode the
tag belongs to the photo, so another guest can move it between this viewer's
last read and their click: a viewer still showing green clicks green, the
server sets green because the tag had become red meanwhile, and the optimistic
'same colour, so clear' blanked the swatch against a server that holds one. The
response already says which happened, so it is used. The per-guest modes are
unaffected — only the guest can move their own label, so guess and answer
always agreed there.

Three regression tests, each verified to fail against the un-fixed code.

* fix(feedback): shared tag is not a participant, and the keyboard path reconciles too (#1197)

Third review round, two findings.

**feedback_count counted the shared tag as a guest.** It is COUNT(DISTINCT
guest identity) across all feedback types, and the reserved identifier looked
like a person: a photo with one rating and a shared tag reported two. The
column is exported as rating_count (photoExportService), so merely tagging a
photo inflated its rating count in the CSV and JSON exports.

**The lightbox keyboard path still trusted its own guess.** The reconciliation
from the last round covered clicks through PhotoColorLabels, but the proofing
shortcuts call PhotoLightbox.submitColorLabel directly and set local state from
a locally computed toggle. That is the path a proofing client actually uses, so
it had the divergence the previous fix was for: another guest moves the tag,
this viewer presses the key, the server sets a colour and the swatch blanks.
Both branches now read the outcome off the response.

One regression test, verified to fail against the un-fixed code.

* fix(feedback): identity-mode lookup must survive a migration-time caller (#1197)

updatePhotoFeedbackStats is called from migrations as well as from the request
path — migration 186's duplicate-photo dedupe (#1162) recomputes the survivor's
totals — and a migration runs against a half-built schema where
event_feedback_settings need not exist yet. The new inner join threw there,
which took the whole stats update down with it, so the reparented rows were
never counted and eight assertions in the 186 suite failed.

Falls back to 'simple', which is the right answer rather than merely a safe
one: an install with no feedback settings table has no event in shared mode, so
the non-shared scope is exactly correct.

Caught by CI, not by me — I had been running affected suites rather than the
full one after each review round.

* fix(feedback): atomic shared-tag write, scoped feedback list, safe PG fallback (#1197)

Round 4 of external review, and one of the three is about the fix I made for
the CI failure two rounds ago.

**The identity-mode fallback could poison a Postgres transaction.** The join
was wrapped in try/catch so a migration-time caller with a half-built schema
would fall back to 'simple'. On Postgres a failed statement aborts the entire
transaction, so catching it and carrying on left the caller's trx poisoned and
the aggregate that follows failed with 'current transaction is aborted' —
defeating the very compatibility the fallback was added for. It now asks
whether the table exists before issuing the join, which is safe to ask and
aborts nothing. Memoised once true, since a table does not un-create itself and
this sits on the feedback write path.

**The shared-tag stats were recomputed after the commit.** A failure there
returned 500 for a tag that had already been written, so the client reverted
its swatch and the next tap on the same colour toggled the committed tag off
instead of setting it. Two concurrent writers could also race their aggregate
updates. Recomputed inside the transaction now, while the photo row is still
locked.

**The raw feedback list still carried both label sets.** Only the tallies and
my_feedback had been scoped, so a dormant per-guest label was still visible to
anyone reading the list — and with sharing off it came back flagged is_mine.
getPhotoFeedback now filters colour labels to the active set.

One test for the list; the migration suite that caught the original CI
regression still passes.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 696c69a6d0 fix(setup): put the setup token where a NAS user can find it (#1218) (#1219)
* fix(setup): put the setup token where a NAS user can find it (#1218)

The token file was never missing — it was in a subdirectory nobody opens. The
all-in-one image points DATA_DIR at /data/db, so the file lands beside the
database inside the single volume; someone browsing that volume from a NAS
container UI sees db/, storage/, logs/, backup/ and gives up. There is no shell
on those boxes to run the documented `docker exec … cat` with, and the token
value is deliberately kept out of the logs, so the install looked like it had
swallowed its own bootstrap credential.

When DATA_ROOT names a different directory, the token is now written there too
— /data/SETUP_TOKEN, the first thing visible on opening the volume. The compose
stack sets no DATA_ROOT and keeps exactly one file, so nothing changes there.

Each copy is written independently: the canonical one failing while the
volume-root copy succeeds still leaves a readable token, and only a run where
every write failed falls back to logging the value. The startup banner names
every copy rather than just the first, which is what sent people into db/.

Both copies are 0600 and both are removed the moment setup completes. That is
what makes a second copy of a single-use bootstrap secret acceptable rather
than careless — and writing the test for it turned up that the burn path had
TWO independent unlinks, one in clearSetupToken and one at the end of
createInitialAdmin. Only the first had been updated, so the volume-root copy
survived the burn: a live-looking token that no longer works, which is worse
than no token at all.

Docs for the same issue are already out (PicPeak/docs#15); .env.example now
names the AIO paths too.

* fix(setup): enforce 0600 on a token file that already exists (#1218)

External review. fs.writeFileSync's `mode` applies only when the file is
created — writing over an existing inode truncates it and leaves its
permissions untouched. A SETUP_TOKEN someone had copied to the volume root by
hand at 0644 would keep that mode, so the first-admin bootstrap credential sat
group- and world-readable on a shared NAS mount while this code claimed 0600.

Unlink then create, rather than chmod after write: recreating gives a fresh
inode with the right mode and no window where the credential is on disk under
the wrong one. The chmod stays as a fallback for an unlink that failed for a
reason other than the file being absent.

Test fails against the un-fixed code.

* fix(setup): drop a token copy that cannot be made private (#1218)

Round 2 of external review. Asking for 0600 is not the same as getting it: a
CIFS/SMB mount — which is what a NAS commonly offers — carries no Unix modes,
so chmod is a silent no-op and the file keeps whatever file_mode= the mount
forces, typically 0644. This feature targets exactly those hosts, so it now
verifies the resulting mode instead of assuming the request took.

A copy that cannot be made private is removed rather than left lying there, and
it does not count as written — so an install where neither copy can be
protected falls through to the existing log fallback, which reaches the
operator alone. Previously a chmod that threw after a successful write left the
credential on disk, and a success on the other path cleared the error, so
nothing reported the exposed copy at all.

Test simulates the mode-less mount with chmod as a no-op and stat reporting
0644; it fails against the un-fixed code.

* fix(setup): never write the token through a foreign inode, or into the logs (#1218)

Round 3 of external review, two findings, both about the credential ending up
readable by someone else on exactly the shared mounts this feature targets.

**The log fallback defeated the point.** When no copy can be made private, the
old branch logged the token at warn — and logger.js writes warnings to
combined.log under LOG_DIR, which in the all-in-one image sits on the same
mount as the token file. The credential moved from a file we had just refused
to leave, into another file just as readable, that outlives setup. The warning
no longer carries the token; server.js already prints it on stdout when no file
was written, which reaches `docker logs` without touching the shared volume.

**A file that could not be deleted was written through anyway.** The
pre-write unlink swallowed every error, so a 0666 SETUP_TOKEN owned by another
user in a sticky or ACL-controlled directory — still writable — received the
live token into its existing inode. Only ENOENT is ignored now. And when the
mode check finds an exposed copy it cannot remove, that is recorded separately
and reported at error level: a success on the other path clears writeError, and
an exposed credential must not be silenced by an unrelated success.

Two tests, both failing against the un-fixed code.

* fix(setup): fail closed on an exposed token, and refuse a raced symlink (#1218)

Round 4 of external review.

**An exposed copy left the token valid.** A directory that permits creation and
denies deletion — ACL-backed or CIFS — could keep a group/world-readable file
holding a live setup token, and /setup/admin went on accepting it: anyone able
to read the mount could take the first super-admin account. Reporting that was
not enough. The token is now revoked when a readable copy cannot be removed,
which turns what is left on disk into a dead string. Private copies are removed
with it, since they hold the same value. The next boot mints a fresh one and
skips the undeletable file rather than rewriting it, so this converges instead
of looping on the same exposure.

**The write followed a raced symlink.** On a group-writable mount another local
user could drop a symlink at the path between the unlink and the write, and the
default 'w' flag would follow it — putting the live token in a file they own.
Now created with 'wx' (O_CREAT|O_EXCL), which neither overwrites nor follows a
link; having just unlinked, anything present again is that race. The mode check
uses lstat for the same reason: it must describe the file, not a link target.

**A verification that threw left the file behind.** writeFileSync succeeding and
lstat then failing — plausible on the network filesystems this targets — left an
unverified live copy on disk, and a success on the other path cleared the error
so nothing said so. Cleanup is now keyed on 'did this iteration create a file',
so every post-creation failure removes it.

Three tests, one new; the new one fails against the un-fixed code. Full backend
suite at the known baseline.

* fix(setup): report the written token path again, so the banner stays quiet (#1218)

A regression I introduced one commit ago. Rewriting the write loop dropped the
three lines after it that publish the result, so writtenTokenFile stayed null
even on a completely successful write.

server.js prints the token itself only when no file was written. With this
reporting nothing, the banner took that failure branch on every fresh install
and put the live super-admin setup token into stdout and `docker logs` — beside
a perfectly good 0600 file. That is the exact leak this path was built to
close, reopened by a refactor that touched none of the logic around it.

Found by external review, not by the suite: nothing asserted the accessor, only
the files on disk. Now guarded — the new test fails against the regression.

* fix(setup): survive a worker race, and revoke a copy that predates this run (#1218)

Round 6 of external review.

**A pre-existing exposed copy was invisible to the revocation.** A restart
reuses the token from the database, so an old file holding that value is a live
credential. If it had become group-readable and could not be deleted, nothing
tracked it — created was false, so the fail-closed path never fired and
/setup/admin kept accepting what was in that file. An undeletable file at the
token path is now treated as live and triggers the same revocation.

**A losing worker printed the token.** The shipped PM2 cluster config runs
several workers against one DATA_DIR. Both pass the unlink, one wins the
exclusive create, and the loser's wx write threw EEXIST — so it recorded
nothing and its banner printed the live token into its own log while a
perfectly good 0600 file already existed. EEXIST now checks the file: private,
regular, and holding the same token counts as this loop's work already done.

**A write that created the file and then threw left it behind.** ENOSPC, a
short write, a delayed close on a network mount — writeFileSync can populate
the inode before failing, and cleanup keyed on the call returning skipped it.
Keyed on the write being attempted now, with an existence check.

Two tests, both failing against the un-fixed code. Full backend suite at the
known baseline (2342 passing).

* refactor(setup): drop the volume-root token copy, keep the hardening (#1218)

The second copy was for discoverability: DATA_DIR points into /data/db on the
all-in-one image, and a NAS user browsing the volume does not open a folder
called db. Six review rounds later it had earned a second inode to race, to
verify, to clean up and to revoke — a symlink guard, an exclusive create, an
lstat check, cluster-race handling and fail-closed revocation, nearly all of it
load-bearing only because there were two files instead of one.

That is a lot of attack surface for a convenience the documentation covers
better. PicPeak/docs#15 now points NAS users at ADMIN_PASSWORD, which creates
the admin on first boot and needs no file at all, and names the db/
subdirectory for anyone who does want the token. Neither needs a second copy.

So: one file in DATA_DIR again, as before. Everything the review turned up
stays, because none of it was about the second copy — the token is created with
O_CREAT|O_EXCL so a raced symlink cannot capture it, its mode is verified with
lstat rather than assumed, a copy that cannot be made private is removed, one
that cannot be removed revokes the token instead of being logged about, a
partial write is cleaned up, a concurrent worker's good file is accepted rather
than triggering the log fallback, and the token never reaches the log files.

setupTokenFilePaths and writtenSetupTokenFiles are gone with their tests; the
hardening tests remain and still fail against unfixed code.

* fix(setup): publish the token atomically instead of racing over one inode (#1218)

Round 7 of external review found a race in the exclusive-create approach: two
PM2 workers reaching the write together, the loser sees the winner's file after
the inode exists but before its content lands, judges it wrong, and deletes it
— after which the winner's own verification fails too, both report nothing
written, and both print the live token into their logs.

Rather than teach the loser to wait, the shared inode is gone. The token is
written to a per-process temporary file, verified there, and published with
rename(2). That is atomic: the file never appears at the published path with
the wrong mode or half its content, a symlink sitting at that path is replaced
rather than followed, and concurrent workers simply publish the same value one
after another. The unlink-then-create dance, the EEXIST handling and the
cross-worker deletion all disappear with it.

Verifying the mode BEFORE the rename is the stronger order too: a credential
that cannot be made private on a mode-less mount now never reaches the
published path at all, instead of being written and then cleaned up.

If publishing fails and something is still sitting at the token path, it is
treated as a live credential we could not replace, and the token is revoked —
unchanged in intent from the previous round, simpler in mechanism.

* fix(setup): drop a dead assignment and an unused import (#1218)

Both flagged by the code-quality review on #1219. `createdTmp = false`
after rename(2) is never read — rename consumes the temp file, so the
catch has nothing left to clean up either way. `os` was never used in
the test.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft a490b64954 fix(admin): the "Uncategorized" photo filter returns every photo (#1211) (#1214)
The dropdown offered the filter and it never worked. It rendered as
`value="0"`, and adminPhotos.js skips '0' outright:

    if (category_id !== undefined && category_id !== '' && category_id !== '0') {

so no category condition was applied and the whole event came back. Four lines
below that guard sits the branch that does the work, keyed on the literal
'uncategorized' — which nothing was sending. The two ends have never agreed on
the wire value, and neither is wrong on its own.

It fails silently, which is why it went unnoticed: a full list reads as 'the
filter found nothing to narrow' rather than 'the filter did not run'.

Send what the backend already understands rather than teaching it a second
spelling. The onChange passes non-numeric values through unchanged, so the
string arrives intact.

Reported in #1209 by someone re-categorising a few thousand photos imported
without a category — the filter is the first step of filter, Select All, bulk
assign, so its failure takes the whole path with it.

Tests both ends of the contract, since the bug was the pairing rather than
either half: the frontend emits 'uncategorized', and the endpoint answers it
with only the null-category rows. The backend test also pins that 0 means no
filter, so a future change there has to be a decision rather than an accident.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 0a36ca6056 feat(gallery): folders that contain photos instead of filtering them (#1160) (#1161)
* feat(gallery): folders that contain photos instead of filtering them (#1160)

A category has always been a filter: its photos stay in the root grid and
picking the category narrows that grid. D#1086 asked for the opposite — put
the selects in a bucket and get them OUT of the main grid, so the client sees
the 40 finals and clicks through for the other 200.

`photo_categories.is_folder` makes that a per-category choice. One column is
enough because the neighbouring features already built the substrate:
hero_photo_id (#163) is the folder cover, allow_downloads (#640) is per-folder
download rules, display_order + event_category_order (#782) is folder ordering,
and photos.category_id being single-valued is already folder semantics.

Deliberately no parent_id. "Root -> Selects folder" is depth one, i.e. plain
containment; folders-inside-folders waits until someone asks.

Containment lands in the one useMemo where the category filter was already
applied, and the tiles render above the grid rather than inside a layout, so
all eight gallery layouts inherit folders without eight implementations.
Scope drives the counts too, so root reports 40 photos and not 240.

`?folder=<slug>` carries the open folder, preserving token and admin_preview,
so a folder is linkable and Back walks out of it instead of leaving the gallery.

Defaults to false, so every existing gallery keeps filtering exactly as before.

Folders are organisational, not access control: a foldered photo is served by
the same per-photo auth as any other. A test pins that, so nobody later mistakes
containment for a security boundary.

* feat(gallery): download a folder on its own, and label folders when moving photos (#1160)

Downloads now cover both halves of the requirement:

  - the gallery-wide "download all" keeps zipping every photo including the
    foldered ones (verified: 62 files), so a folder never quietly removes
    photos from the client's one-click download;
  - inside a folder there is a "Download folder (n)" button that zips only
    that folder, once (verified: 20 files). It reuses /download-selected, so
    there is no new endpoint and no second zip-building path.

The button honours the per-category opt-out (#640) both ways: a folder with
allow_downloads = false renders no button, and individual photos that opted
out are excluded from the id list rather than silently 403-ing mid-zip.

Moving photos into a folder already worked — a folder IS a category, so the
existing bulk "move to category" flow does it. What was missing is that a
folder and a filter category looked identical in that dropdown while having
very different consequences, so folder options now read
"<name> (folder — hidden from the main grid)". Threading is_folder through to
the dialog needed the admin category prop types widened; the data was already
on the wire.

* fix(gallery): folders were unreachable in the full-bleed layouts (#1160)

Containment comes from `filteredPhotos`, which BOTH layout branches use, but the
tiles were only rendered in one. On a Premium or Story gallery the foldered
photos therefore disappeared from the grid with no tile to click — moving 200
selects into a folder effectively deleted them from the client's view. The
folder nav is now built once and rendered by both branches, so a branch can't
hide photos without also offering the way in.

Those two layouts are edge-to-edge by design, and a block of cover cards above
the hero wrecks the opening they exist for, so they get a compact chip row
(`Folders  [icon Selects 20]`) instead. It only renders when the gallery
actually has folders, leaving every existing full-bleed gallery byte-identical.

Also scopes the people strip to the photos on screen. `face_count` comes from
/people and spans the whole event, which contradicted the grid in two ways:
inside a folder a face read "12 photos" but filtered down to the handful in that
folder, and at root a person whose photos ALL lived in a folder showed up and
filtered to nothing — a dead chip. Recounted from `photo.person_ids`, which is
already what the filter itself uses, and zero-count people are dropped. No
backend change; the ids were on the wire already.

Verified in the running app: Premium renders the chip and navigates; the
lightbox counter inside a folder reads "1 / 20", not 1 / 62; the people strip
inside the folder drops from 12/11/4 to the one face actually present.

* fix(gallery): folder edge cases found in external review (#1160)

Seven issues, all verified against the code before fixing.

Unreachable folders (the serious one). `adminCategories` derives a slug with
`[^\w\s-]` stripping and `\w` is ASCII-only, so a valid name in a non-Latin
script slugs to the empty string — `Избранное` and `日本語` both do. Keying the
URL on the slug meant such a folder wrote no param and resolved to nothing: its
photos left the root grid with no way back to them. This repo ships ru and sl
locales, so that is a reachable state, not a hypothetical. Folders are now keyed
by `folderKey()` — slug when there is one, id otherwise.

Stale selection across a scope change. The grid clears its selection when
`categoryId` changes, which is already null at root, so a selection made outside
a folder survived into it and the toolbar would offer to download (or a client
to hide) photos no longer on screen. Cleared on both explicit navigation and
popstate.

Dead category chips inside a folder. The filter branch ignores
`selectedCategoryId` while a folder is open, so the chips did nothing when
clicked. They are no longer offered there.

"No photos found" beside folder tiles. A gallery whose photos all live in
folders rendered the tiles and then the grid's empty state directly under them,
claiming the gallery was empty while pointing at its contents.

Counts that contradicted the grid. The filter bar and both people surfaces were
still counting over every event photo, so a chip could advertise a total the
scoped grid would never produce. All now count over `scopedPhotos`.

`!!` on a validated boolean. express-validator's isBoolean() accepts the STRINGS
"false" and "0", and `!!'false'` is true — a form-encoded caller asking for a
filter would have silently got a folder. Uses the existing parseBooleanInput.

Duplicate-event dropped folder-ness. The category clone selected only name, slug
and is_global, so every folder in a duplicated gallery came back as a filter.

* fix(gallery): folder scoping gaps from external review round 2 (#1160)

Cache mutation, introduced by this branch. `photosInScope` returned the caller's
own array on the no-folders fast path, and `filteredPhotos` sorts in place — so
every gallery WITHOUT folders was reordering the React Query cache for every
other consumer of `data.photos`. The pre-branch code cloned; now it always does.

Colliding folder keys. UNIQUE is (slug, event_id), so a global folder and an
event folder can share a slug, and the gallery merges both scopes. Keying on the
slug alone meant the second folder resolved to the first and its photos could
not be opened. The id is now always part of the key.

"Download folder" downloaded a subset. Search, feedback, media and people
filters stay active when entering a folder, and the ids came from
`filteredPhotos` — so the button promised the folder and delivered whatever the
filter had left, or vanished when it matched nothing. Built from `scopedPhotos`.

Folder-only root misdetected. `rootIsFoldersOnly` tested `filteredPhotos`, so a
search matching none of the loose root photos looked folder-only and swallowed
the no-results message. Tests the unfiltered scope instead.

Empty state in the full-bleed layouts. The Premium/Story branch was missing the
folder-only guard the standard branch got, so a folder-only gallery printed
"no photos found" under its own folder chips.

Filter metadata still event-wide. `availableMediaTypes` and `colorLabelCounts`
counted over every photo, so the sidebar could offer a Video or colour chip for
something that only exists in another scope — always filtering to nothing. Both
derive from `scopedPhotos`, which moved above them for that reason.

* fix(gallery): honest folder downloads and scoped totals (#1160)

Silent truncation. /download-selected slices the id list to 500 server-side
(gallery.js:1776), so a folder larger than that delivered a truncated archive
under a button promising the whole thing. The limit is now mirrored client-side:
the request carries only what the server will honour and the label says
"Download first 500 of 620" instead of claiming the folder.

Gallery shell was being unmounted. Suppressing the folder-only empty state by
skipping PhotoGridWithLayouts took the hero, event title, logout and download
controls with it in the full-bleed layouts, since those render from inside that
component — a folder-only Premium gallery collapsed to a bare chip row. Replaced
with a suppressEmptyState prop so only the message goes.

Two more counts that could contradict the grid: the sidebar's total and the
people match-count denominator ("42 of 62" at a root that holds 42). Both scoped.
The client-access visible/total stat is deliberately left event-wide — that one
is a photographer-facing statistic about the gallery, not a filter affordance.

Stale admin cache. EventDetailsPage caches the same category rows under
'admin-event-categories' and hands them to the Photos tab's move dialog, so
toggling a folder left that dialog labelling it a plain category until remount.
Both keys are invalidated now.

Not changed, after challenging the review: select-all in the full-bleed layouts
stays scoped to the displayed photos. Wiring it to the full event would select
photos that are not on screen, contradicting containment and reviving the stale
selection bug. The reviewer withdrew the finding on that basis. The residual UX
gap — no one-click "everything" in Premium/Story once folders exist — is real
and noted on the PR.

* feat(gallery): one-click download-everything in the full-bleed layouts (#1160)

Premium and Story have no header download button — their only gallery-wide
download is select-all followed by download-selected, and select-all is
correctly scoped to what is on screen. Once folders exist that left no single
way to get the whole gallery. The folder strip now carries an event-wide
"Download all photos" that hits /download-all (which has always included
foldered photos), shown at the root only, since inside a folder the breadcrumb
already offers that folder's download.

Also lands the capped folder label that was written but never actually applied
in the previous commit — the edit silently didn't match, so a 510-photo folder
still advertised "Download folder (510)" while the request was capped to 500.
Caught by building a real 510-photo folder rather than trusting the reasoning:
it now reads "Download first 500 of 510". A unit test pins the client constant
to the backend's cap so the two can't drift apart unnoticed.

* fix(gallery): remount layouts on folder change, and stop scoped counts leaking into event-wide controls (#1160)

Carousel crash. Layout state is only meaningful for the photo set it was built
against, but the layout instance was reused across a folder change. In carousel
mode an index valid at root (31 of 42) indexes past the end of a smaller folder,
and CarouselGalleryLayout does `photos[currentIndex]` unguarded. The grid is now
keyed by the open folder, so a scope change remounts: verified live, 31/42 at
root becomes 1/20 on entering the folder instead of dereferencing undefined.
The key also avoids driving one instance between the empty and non-empty render
paths, which matters because that component's `photos.length === 0` early return
sits ABOVE four useState calls — a pre-existing conditional-hook hazard this
feature would otherwise have made reachable.

Nested empty state. suppressEmptyState only silenced PhotoGridWithLayouts' own
early return; the Premium and Story layouts have their own noPhotosFound return,
so a folder-only root still printed "no photos" under the tiles proving
otherwise. The flag is forwarded to them.

Download All was labelled from the wrong number. The sidebar's total is now the
folder scope (correct for the category list), but the same value labelled and
disabled Download All — which fetches the event-wide archive. On a folder-only
root that showed 0 and refused a valid download. Split into a separate
downloadAllTotal.

Feedback chip counts. likeCount, favoriteCount and ratedCount still counted over
every event photo while clicking them filters the scope, so a chip could promise
matches from another folder and deliver none.

* fix(gallery): premium crash, story Download All, and empty-mount hazard (#1160)

ReferenceError blanking the Premium gallery — my own bug from the previous
commit. The suppressEmptyState prop landed on the nested PhotoCard instead of
GalleryPremiumLayout (both destructure `allowDownloads = true`, and the patch hit
the first one), so the layout's guard referenced an identifier that was not in
its scope. A folder-only Premium root threw instead of rendering. Now declared
and destructured on the layout, and exercised: 62 photos all foldered renders
the tile, the hero and the download button with no message and no throw.

Story's footer "Download All Photos" built its id list from the `photos` prop,
which is now the folder scope — so it silently omitted every foldered photo
while still calling itself Download All. Layouts now receive an event-wide
downloadAllIds and prefer it. Premium's equivalent control is a select-all, not
a download, and stays scoped by the same reasoning as before.

Empty-array mounts. Suppressing the empty state meant the layout got mounted
with photos=[], and CarouselGalleryLayout returns before four of its useState
calls — driving one instance between empty and non-empty changes its hook count
and React throws. Only the full-bleed layouts, which own the hero and logout
chrome, are now mounted empty; every other layout renders nothing instead.

* fix(gallery): keep the shell and drop dead controls on folder-only roots (#1160)

Skipping the empty layout took the hero and welcome message with it. The early
return sat above both, so a gallery whose photos all live in folders lost its
configured hero and welcome copy at the root and only regained them after
opening a folder. Only the layout child is skipped now; the surrounding shell
renders as it always did.

The filter bar was gated on the event-wide photo count, so a folder-only root
still rendered search, sort and the feedback chips with nothing in scope for
them to act on — the same empty filter row discussion #317 asked us to remove.
Gated on the current scope.

Story's download toast counted `photos` while the request now carries the
event-wide id list, so it could announce "Downloading 0 photos" and then fetch
the whole gallery. Counts the ids it actually sends.

* fix(gallery): clear the person filter on scope change, and fix two folder-only shell details (#1160)

A person selected in one scope can have no photos in the next. peopleInScope
drops them from the strip, so the filter stayed active with nothing left to
clear it — and the full-bleed layouts have no people UI at all, leaving a guest
staring at an empty grid with a reload as the only way out. Cleared on both
folder navigation and popstate, alongside the category selection and the photo
selection already reset there.

Story's hero announced "0 Photos" on a folder-only root, since it derives that
stat from the scope it renders and the scope is empty by definition there.
Falls back to the event-wide count.

Premium's integrated Download All is a select-all over the current scope, so on
a folder-only root it was a visible control that did nothing when clicked. It is
hidden while the scope is empty rather than left dead.

* fix(gallery): uncapped Story download, protected folder covers, scoped people order (#1160)

The event-wide id list I added for Story's "Download All Photos" made it worse,
not better: /download-selected caps at 500 ids server-side, so a gallery larger
than that silently shipped a partial archive under a button promising all of it.
Replaced with an onDownloadEverything callback that runs the whole-gallery
/download-all path, which has no cap. eventPhotoCount now carries the number
Story needs for its hero stat, so no id list crosses the boundary at all.

Folder covers bypassed image protection. A cover is a real gallery photo, but it
was rendered through AuthenticatedImage's defaults while every photo tile passes
the gallery's protection settings — so on a gallery configured for canvas
rendering or maximum protection, each cover was an ordinary blob-backed <img>.
The tiles now receive and apply the same props as the grid.

People kept /people's event-wide ordering after their counts were rescoped, so a
folder's most-photographed person could sort behind someone with a single match
— and PeopleStrip only shows the first twelve inline. Sorted by the recomputed
count, with a test.

* fix(gallery): folder covers honour maximum protection (#1160)

Maximum protection implies canvas rendering even when the independent
use_canvas_rendering toggle is off, which is its default — every other gallery
image path spells that out as `useCanvasRendering || protectionLevel ===
'maximum'` (PhotoGrid, PhotoLightbox, HeroHeader, JustifiedGalleryLayout). The
folder cover forwarded the raw toggle, so on a maximum-protection gallery with
the toggle untouched the cover fell back to a blob-backed <img>. Matches the
convention now.

* fix(gallery): don't let download-everything bypass a category opt-out, and keep folder links alive across renames (#1160)

The whole-gallery route serves a prebuilt zip containing EVERY event photo with
no per-category filter — gallery.js says so itself, next to
bumpEventDownloadCounts, as a known pre-existing gap. Wiring Story's footer to
that route therefore converted a path that DID enforce the #640 opt-out into one
that doesn't, and because the callback was supplied unconditionally it affected
Story galleries with no folders at all.

The same reasoning applies to the download-everything button this branch added
to the full-bleed folder strip: it routes there too, so on a gallery with a
restricted category it would have handed over exactly the photos the opt-out
withholds. Both are now withheld whenever any category opts out; those galleries
keep the per-folder download, which enforces it. Verified both ways — the
control disappears with a restricted category present and returns once the
restriction is lifted.

Folder links also survived a rename badly: the key embeds the slug for
readability, and renaming a category rewrites that slug, so a URL already sent
to a client stopped matching and silently opened the gallery root. Resolution
now keys on the trailing category id, which does not move.

* fix(gallery): make folder navigation clickable in the Story layout (#1160)

Story renders `.story-nav` as `position: fixed` across the top of the viewport
at z-index 50, and the folder strip sits in exactly that band — so the nav
swallowed every click on the chips and the breadcrumb. A Story gallery whose
photos all live in folders had no way to reach them at all. Confirmed with
elementFromPoint at the chip's centre returning NAV.story-nav; the strip now
carries its own stacking context above it and the same probe returns the chip.

Story's footer download could also be offered with nothing to send: on a
folder-only root of a gallery that has a category download opt-out, the parent
deliberately withholds the whole-gallery callback and the scope is empty, so the
button would have posted an empty id list and taken a 400. It is only rendered
when one of the two actually exists.

* fix(gallery): stop the Story folder strip from blocking the layout's own nav (#1160)

The previous commit raised the whole folder strip above `.story-nav` so the
chips could be clicked, and thereby traded the bug for its mirror image: the
strip is mostly empty space, so as a solid z-60 container it swallowed the
clicks for Story's own search, favourites and logout sitting underneath.

The container no longer takes hits at all; only the chips, breadcrumb and
download button opt back in. The download button also loses its ml-auto, since
being pushed to the right put it physically on top of the nav's controls rather
than merely above them in stacking order.

Verified by hit-testing all three at once — folder chip, download button, and
Story's nav control each resolve to themselves under elementFromPoint, so none
is covering another.

Paul Nothaft cec8eff70c fix(images): fence the capture-date backfill on the file it read (#1201) (#1204)
The capture-date backfill committed its result keyed on the row id alone. It
snapshots every candidate up front, then walks them one at a time reading
originals off S3 or a NAS mount — a pass that can run for many minutes.

replacePhoto, reachable from the replace_by_name upload path, swaps a NEW file
under an existing row and rewrites path/filename. A replacement landing inside
that window carries no date of its own, so captured_at was still NULL, the
whereNull guard passed, and the previous file's EXIF date was written onto the
new photo. Silent: nothing errored, the run reported it as a success, and the
gallery just sorted that photo to the wrong place.

Fenced on path and filename as well as the id — the same fence #1199 put on the
orientation backfill for the same reason — so a replaced row matches zero rows
and is skipped. The candidate query already selects both columns, so no query
change. Knex renders a null value in the object form as `is null` on both the pg
and sqlite3 clients, so a row with a NULL path still matches itself.

Those skipped candidates are now counted rather than dropped. replacePhoto is
not the only writer of path/filename — eventRenameService rewrites both on an
event rename, which is not a content change — and another writer filling
captured_at first lands in the same place. Without a counter they fell out of
the run's arithmetic entirely: success + noExif + failed no longer added up to
the count the operator was shown when they started the job, on the card as well
as in the log.

The card shows the count only when it is non-zero, the same shape the
orientation job uses for staleTiers. The wording states what is known — changed
by something else, not updated — rather than promising a retry: for the
already-dated case there is nothing to retry, and the Missing Capture Date
figure above is what says whether work is left. Locale coverage matches the
staleTiers key (en, de, fr, sl), with the defaultValue carrying the rest.

Regression test: a replacement landing mid-run leaves captured_at NULL and is
not counted as updated. Verified to fail against the unfenced code.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft d3e9a7cf0d feat(auth): make the admin "Remember me" checkbox actually do something (#1186) (#1195)
The checkbox had no `checked`, no `onChange`, and no place in the login
request; `rememberMe` existed only as an i18n label. On the backend
establishAdminSession hardcoded `expiresIn: '24h'` and the cookie always got
DEFAULT_MAX_AGE_MS, so there was nothing to receive it anyway.

Wired end to end: state on the page, `remember_me` in the login body, and a
30-day JWT plus a matching 30-day cookie when it is set.

Opt-in on purpose. An absent or malformed value means "no", so a client that
never sends it keeps exactly the 24h session it always had, and a stolen cookie
is still worth a day by default.

The JWT and the cookie take their lifetime from the same flag. If they can
disagree the session either dies early (long cookie, short token) or outlives
what the user consented to, so the tests assert them against each other.

Review found the feature was non-functional as written, which is the important
part: sessionTimeoutMiddleware and isSessionExpired enforce
security_session_timeout_minutes — 60 minutes by default — against a session's
idle time regardless of how long its token lives, so a remembered admin was
logged out within the hour with a 30-day token sitting unused. rememberMe now
travels in the JWT payload and both checks exempt a remembered session from the
IDLE timeout. Not from expiry: the token still dies on its own 30-day exp, and
revocation, deactivation and password-change invalidation are untouched.

Also: /api/admin/auth/change-password reissued a hardcoded 24h token without
the flag, so a remembered admin dropped back to 24h the moment they changed
their password — which is mandatory for new and reset accounts. It now inherits
the choice from the session it replaces, carried on req.admin.rememberMe.

Through MFA the choice rides inside the signed mfa_pending token rather than
being resent, so the second leg cannot ask for longer than the first agreed to.

The tests drive POST /api/auth/admin/login and read the real Set-Cookie and
token rather than minting a local clone of the ternary they are meant to be
checking, boot one database per file before anything reads it, and generate
their credential per run so no literal that looks like a password lands in the
repository.

No visual change — the checkbox was uncontrolled, so it already toggled on
click; it just did nothing.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft edef4d7365 fix(images): backfill orientation for libraries that predate the fix (#1199)
* fix(images): backfill orientation for libraries that predate the fix (#1198)

#1194 corrected the generators and every ingest path, but did nothing for
photos already in the database. Those rows end up worse than untouched ones:
before the fix a rotated photo was CONSISTENTLY wrong — a sideways image in a
tile shaped to match — and afterwards the regenerated thumbnail is correct
while photos.width/height still describe the raw sensor order, so masonry and
justified size a portrait photo with a landscape ratio. The dimension repair
cannot reach them: it only selects rows with a NULL dimension, and an affected
row has both, just transposed.

Its own job rather than a mode of that one. They look alike but are not the
same operation: the repair FILLS missing values and touches nothing else,
while this RECOMPUTES and invalidates the derived data generated against the
old orientation. Sharing a lease would also mean one blocks the other.

A first attempt at this was reverted from #1194 after review found five
problems. All five are addressed here:

- Originals are read through resolvePhotoStorageKey + withLocalCopy +
  withProcessableImage, so the job works on S3 installs and on RAW/DNG. The
  dimension repair's direct fs read does neither, which stops being an edge
  case in a job that walks the whole library.
- The canonical preview is cleared BEFORE faces are requeued.
  ensurePreviewImage returns a cached preview whenever it is still a valid
  image, and a pre-fix unrotated one is perfectly valid — so requeueing alone
  made the rescan read unrotated pixels and scale those boxes by the corrected
  dimensions, which is worse than leaving the data alone.
- Invalidation keys off the EXIF transform, not a dimension delta. Orientations
  2, 3 and 4 move every pixel while leaving width and height unchanged, as does
  5-8 on a square image; a delta check skips exactly those rows.
- Archived events are excluded — archiving deletes the originals and keeps the
  rows, so every one of them would fail its read.
- The dimension write and the invalidation share a transaction. Split, a
  failure between them leaves stale face data that no retry can fix, because
  the retry computes "already correct".

Tier deletion stays outside the transaction on purpose: it touches storage, and
a failed object delete must not roll back a correct database write. A leftover
tier regenerates on next read; a rolled-back write is silent corruption.

* fix(images): invalidate every stale rendition, fence the writes, and give the job a button (#1198)

Three things from review, one of which mattered a lot.

The invalidation was too narrow. Clearing only preview_path fixed the face
data and left the gallery worse off: ensureThumbnail and ensureHeroImage
return their cached file whenever it is merely VALID, and a pre-fix sideways
thumbnail is perfectly valid — so a corrected row rendered the old sideways
image inside a newly-corrected portrait tile. All three canonical renditions
are cleared now, their stored objects deleted, and both responsive tier sets
with them.

The responsive tiers also needed handling rather than a hopeful catch. Their
helpers swallow delete errors, and ensurePreviewImageAtWidth treats
storage.stat(key) as a cache hit — so a tier that survived deletion keeps
serving unrotated forever and never regenerates. The keys are re-checked after
deletion and survivors are counted into the result, so a run that could not
clear them does not report itself as clean.

Writes are fenced on the identity that was measured, not just the id.
replacePhoto swaps a new file under an existing row and rewrites
path/filename, and it IS reachable — from the replace_by_name upload path in
adminPhotos.js. A replacement landing while this job read the old original
would otherwise have had the previous file's dimensions written over it and
its fresh renditions cleared.

And the job had no way to start it: the endpoint existed with no caller, so an
upgrade would have left every affected library untouched unless an operator
found the API themselves. It gets a Status card like its two neighbours, with
strings in en/de/fr/sl. No backlog counter, because unlike the other two it
cannot know how many rows need it without doing the work.

* fix(images): make the backfill idempotent, and stop it lying about what it did (#1198)

Six things from review round 2.

The job was not idempotent, and the way it failed was expensive. Its trigger is
the EXIF tag on the ORIGINAL, which correcting a photo never changes — so every
re-run threw away the renditions it had just regenerated and requeued every
completed face scan. On a face-enabled install, running it twice meant
re-detecting the whole library for nothing. Migration 191 adds
photos.orientation_checked_at, written in the same transaction as the work it
records, with `force` as the escape hatch for an interrupted run.

The candidate query selected preview_path but not thumbnail_path or hero_path,
which the deletion loop reads — so those two pointers were cleared in the
database while the objects stayed in storage, still reachable through
previously issued URLs.

watermark_path was missed entirely. gallery.js serves it ahead of the original
when branding watermarking is on, which makes it the most visible rendition of
the lot. (Its generator needed rotating too — that went into #1185, where the
other three live.)

storage.stat() RESOLVES with null for a missing key rather than rejecting, so
counting "the promise settled" marked every deleted — and every never-created —
tier as a survivor. A perfectly clean run told the operator to re-run. Now a
null means gone, and a rejection counts as stuck, since a storage error is not
proof the object went away.

Face data is invalidated whenever the stored dimensions change, not only when
the change came from rotation: boxes are scaled by photo.width at read time, so
any dimension change strands them.

And `corrected` now comes from the affected-row count. If the fence rejected the
write because the file was replaced mid-run, the photo was not corrected and
the run must not claim it was.

* fix(images): stop the backfill doing unnecessary work, and make its retry advice true (#1198)

Round 3, four points, all narrower than the last two rounds.

It re-processed photos that were already correct. A 5-8 rotation changes the
dimensions, so a tagged photo whose stored dimensions are ALREADY oriented must
have been ingested after #1185 — its renditions are fine and clearing them
deletes valid files and rescans a completed face detection for nothing. Those
are now skipped and simply marked. Orientations 2, 3 and 4 (and 5-8 on a square
image) leave the dimensions identical either way, so they carry no such
evidence and are still done once.

The retry advice was impossible to follow. When a responsive tier could not be
deleted the row was still marked, so the ordinary re-run the UI recommends
found nothing and the stale tier kept serving unrotated forever. The marker is
withheld when a tier survives, which is what makes that message honest.

Storage cleanup now only runs when a fenced write actually landed. If the file
was replaced mid-run every update matched zero rows, but the deletion went
ahead anyway and could destroy renditions belonging to the REPLACEMENT —
watermarks especially, which are keyed by photo id and alias straight onto the
new file.

And the full-photo ETag includes the backfill's timestamp. It was built from
the ORIGINAL's mtime plus the watermark settings hash, neither of which this
job touches — so a guest holding a pre-fix ETag would go on getting 304 and
their cached sideways image no matter how many times the backfill succeeded.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft c18f54ede0 fix(images): respect EXIF orientation in thumbnails, heroes and previews (#1194)
* fix(images): respect EXIF orientation in thumbnails, heroes and previews (#1185)

generateThumbnail, generateHeroImage and generatePreviewImage went straight
from sharp(imagePath) to .resize(), so a photo whose Orientation tag is not 1 —
routine for portrait shots on bodies that tag rather than rotate the sensor
data — was resized from the raw frame and came out sideways. The same pipelines
then call .withMetadata(false), stripping the tag from the output, so nothing
downstream could correct it either.

The download path already had this right: resizeToBox calls probe.rotate() for
stills, which is why the same photo looked correct on download and rotated in
the gallery. All three generators now do the same, guarded to stills for the
reason resizeToBox already documents — .rotate() flattens a multi-frame source.

The reporter also spotted the half that compounds it: photos.width/height were
stored from sharp's metadata, which reports pixels as STORED, not as displayed.
For orientation 5-8 those are swapped, so a portrait photo landed in the
database as landscape and masonry/justified sized its tile with the wrong
aspect ratio on top of the image being unrotated. A shared orientedDimensions()
helper now does that conversion at all four capture sites — managed upload,
background processing, external import and the dimension repair — so the stored
numbers describe the rotated result the generators now produce.

Existing rows keep their pre-rotation dimensions until the photo is
reprocessed; the images themselves correct on the next thumbnail/preview
regeneration.

Tests fail on the unfixed generators — verified by reverting the rotate calls
and the swap, which fails 4 of the 7.

* fix(images): orient dimensions on every ingest path, and stop guarding rotate where it protects nothing (#1185)

Review found the first cut covered four of eight dimension-capture sites. The
filesystem watcher, the S3 auto-importer, the v1 upload API and replace-by-name
all still persisted raw metadata.width/height, so an orientation 5-8 photo
arriving that way got a correctly rotated thumbnail and a database row
describing it as landscape — the same aspect-ratio mismatch this PR set out to
remove, just on the paths I had not grepped. (I searched for `metadata.width`
and the v1 route aliases it to `meta`.)

The animated guard was also wrong in two of the three generators.
generateThumbnail and generateHeroImage never pass `animated: true`, so they
already flatten a multi-frame source to its first frame — skipping .rotate()
there protected an animation that was being discarded anyway, while leaving the
output in raw orientation against swapped stored dimensions. Both now rotate
unconditionally. generatePreviewImage keeps the guard, because it genuinely
does open animated sources as animated and .rotate() would flatten them.

That leaves one corner unsolved rather than papered over: a multi-frame source
that also carries an orientation tag keeps its raw orientation in the preview
while the thumbnail and stored dimensions describe the rotated one. GIF has no
EXIF and animated WebP effectively never sets it, so it is a real gap but not a
common one, and closing it means rotating frame by frame rather than quietly
dropping the animation. Documented at the guard.

* fix(images): add a recompute mode so existing libraries get corrected too (#1185)

The orientation fix only helped new photos. A row affected by the bug has BOTH
dimensions stored — just in the raw order — so the repair job's NULL filter
could never reach exactly the rows that needed it. Worse, once their thumbnails
regenerated rotated, those rows went from consistently-wrong (sideways image in
a matching tile) to inconsistent: correct image, wrong-shaped tile.

`recompute` widens the candidate set to every image row. Opt-in, because it
re-reads every original.

It also has to deal with the consequence for faces. Detection runs against the
preview and stores boxes in ORIGINAL pixel space, scaled by
`photo.width / previewMeta.width` (faceProcessor.js:220-224) — so a photo whose
stored dimensions change has face data recorded against a coordinate system
that no longer exists, and the overlays crop the wrong region. Photos whose
dimensions actually change are requeued for scanning; ones that were already
correct are not, or a routine repair would rescan the whole library. Rows with
face_status NULL are left alone so installs that never enabled the feature
don't start scanning because of a dimension repair.

Writing the test for that last rule caught a real bug in it: the candidate
query never selected photos.width/height, so `photo.width` was undefined and
every row compared as changed. Both columns are selected now.

* Revert "fix(images): add a recompute mode so existing libraries get corrected too (#1185)"

This reverts commit cb771d08.

Review round 3 found five problems, all of them in this addition rather than
in the orientation fix itself, and one of them an own-goal: requeueing face
scanning makes processPhotoFaces call ensurePreviewImage, which returns the
CACHED pre-fix preview when it is still a valid image — so the rescan reads
unrotated pixels and scales those boxes by the newly corrected dimensions.
That is worse than leaving the data alone.

The rest need work this PR should not be carrying: the dimension repair reads
originals through resolvePhotoFilePath and plain sharp, so it does nothing on
an S3 install and rejects RAW/DNG; recompute pulls archived rows whose
originals were deleted on archive; orientation 2, 3 and 4 change the pixels
without changing width or height, so a dimension-delta test never notices them;
and the dimension write and the face invalidation are not atomic, so a failure
between them leaves a row that no retry will ever requeue.

Split out so it can be designed and reviewed on its own. The orientation fix —
.rotate() in the three generators and orientedDimensions() at all eight ingest
sites — is unaffected and stays.

* fix(images): the watermarked rendition needs orienting too (#1185)

A fourth generator with the same bug, found while reviewing the backfill that
builds on this. watermarkService composites and re-encodes through its own
sharp pipeline with no .rotate(), and gallery.js serves photos.watermark_path
ahead of the original when branding watermarking is on — so on a watermarked
gallery the sideways image is precisely what a guest sees.

Two details this needed beyond the .rotate() itself:

metadata() is read from a separate, unrotated handle. .rotate() does not change
what metadata() reports — a 400x200 source tagged orientation 6 still reads
400x200 — and every use of those numbers here is positioning: watermark scale,
font size, composite extent. They have to be the DISPLAYED dimensions or the
mark is placed against the wrong axis, so they go through orientedDimensions.

The composite offsets are floored. getPositionCoordinates derives from the
SVG's estimated text extent and returns fractional pixels; sharp rejects a
non-integer offset and applyWatermark catches its own error and returns the
image unwatermarked. Landing on a whole pixel was luck, and changing the
dimensions it is computed from ran out of it — the test surfaced a real
"Expected integer for left but received 92.8".

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 849a5807b7 fix(admin): make "Storage used" report storage used (#1164) (#1170)
* fix(admin): make "Storage used" report storage used (#1164)

The tile summed photos.size_bytes — the catalogued size of the ORIGINALS,
which has no relationship to the disk PicPeak runs on. In reference mode those
files are never copied and sit on the NAS; duplicate rows counted the same
file twice (#1162); and it ignored everything PicPeak genuinely does write
locally: thumbnails, previews, hero renditions, watermarks and the per-event
download cache. The reporter's tile read ~80 GB against 21 GB of real usage.

Worse than the label: the same number drove the storage soft-limit warning bar
and, via /storage/info, the recommended soft limit — so a reference-mode
install got a disk-capacity recommendation computed from bytes that are not on
the disk.

- new localStorageUsage service walks the storage root and reports the total
  plus a breakdown. Walking rather than summing DB columns is the point:
  thumbnail/preview/hero rows record a key and never a byte count, and orphans
  from a deleted event or an interrupted import are real bytes. Symlinks are
  not followed, so a link into the media mount cannot put the NAS back in the
  total. Cached for 5 minutes, since the dashboard polls.
- the dashboard tile and /storage/info now report that, with the catalogued
  figure kept and labelled as such next to it. A failed measurement reads as
  "unavailable" rather than substituting a number that means something else.

On the local rig: 64.37 MB used against 15.75 MB catalogued, of which 27.9 MB
is watermarks and 6.8 MB is download cache — none of which the old figure
could see.

Not addressed here: `.download-cache/all.zip` still has no TTL or size cap. It
is now at least visible in the breakdown, which is what makes the case for
capping it.

* fix(admin): exclude the media share from local storage usage (#1164)

External review found the walk could reintroduce the exact over-count it
replaces.

EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT's compose default is `<storage>/external-media`, where the
NAS is bind-mounted. That is a plain directory, not a symlink, so the symlink
guard did not cover it and the walk descended into the share — putting every
referenced original back into a figure whose whole purpose is to leave them
out, and comparing NAS bytes against statfs() of the local disk. On the
reference-mode installs this issue is about, that is the failure mode
reappearing inside its own fix.

The configured root is now skipped when it lies inside the storage root, and
the result reports which path was excluded. A directory that merely shares the
name is still counted, because those really are local bytes.

Also from the review:

- concurrent cold-cache callers now share one walk. /dashboard/stats,
  /storage/info and the sidebar are routinely requested together, and each was
  starting its own stat-per-file traversal of the whole library.
- storage_partial is surfaced in the StorageInfo type and the sidebar tile, not
  just the dashboard and analytics cards. An unreadable subtree makes the total
  a floor, and a floor silently compared against a soft limit reads as "safely
  under".

* fix(admin): do not report a disk walk on an S3 backend (#1164)

Second review round.

S3 installs were regressed. With STORAGE_BACKEND=s3 the originals, renditions,
archives and download caches are objects in the bucket and STORAGE_PATH holds
only incidental local files — so the walk reported near-zero and the soft-limit
recommendation was derived from it. Those installs now keep the catalogued
figure, which is the approximation they had before this PR, and the response
says which measurement it is (`storage_measurement: 'disk' | 'catalog'`) so the
UI labels it instead of implying a disk measurement that never happened.

The Settings → Status storage card ignored storage_partial, formatting a lower
bound as exact and deriving the limit percentage from it — so an unreadable
subtree could read as safely under the limit. It now carries the same `+`
marker as the sidebar and dashboard.

* fix(admin): stop rendering an absent measurement as zero usage (#1164)

Third review round, two findings.

The analytics storage bar coerced a null measurement to 0, drawing an empty
bar labelled "0% of limit" and suppressing the over-limit state — reading as
plenty of room at exactly the moment nothing is known. It now shows the
catalogued figure on S3, where that IS the available answer, and says "no
measurement available" rather than inventing a percentage when there is none.

/storage/info walked the filesystem before checking the backend and then threw
the result away on S3. The sidebar polls that endpoint, so a migrated install
still holding a large local tree paid a full stat-per-file traversal on every
cold cache for nothing. Gated before the walk, as the dashboard route already
was.

* fix(admin): tell "no disk to measure" apart from "the measurement failed" (#1164)

External review of the stable twin.

Both were reported as `storage_measurement: 'catalog'`, so a failed local walk
made the dashboard claim the objects live in S3. They are different things —
one is a fact about the install, the other is a fault — and there is now an
`unavailable` state for the second.

The analytics percentage could reach the billions. `safeSoftLimit` fell back to
`storageUsed || 1`, and on S3 that is null → 1, while the figure beside it came
from `catalogedBytes`. An editor or viewer holds `analytics.view` but not
`settings.view`, so `/storage/info` 403s for them and `storageInfo` is
undefined — which is exactly when that fallback fires. It now falls back to the
measured figure, and suppresses the percentage entirely when there is no real
limit rather than dividing usage by itself and always reading 100%.

Also lands the AnalyticsPage half of the previous round, which the commit
message claimed but the commit did not contain — only its backend counterpart
was staged. The stable twin has carried it since it was written, so this is the
parity gap in the unusual direction.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 1366d6d14c fix(previews): preserve alpha and animation in the preview tier (#1171)
* fix(gallery): stop the lightbox loading originals to display a photo (#1166)

The lightbox read `preview_url`, which the server only emits once an admin has
flipped lightbox_preview_enabled — off by default. So a stock install fell
straight through to `url`, the untouched original: a reporter measured 16.5 MB
for a photo whose preview is 345 KB. The lightbox renders its neighbours too,
so opening one photo pulled three originals.

`slideshow_url` is the same /preview/:id URL, watermark query included, and
has been emitted unconditionally for images since #1015 — the slideshow never
had a fallback worth taking. Preferring it fixes every existing install with no
migration and no admin action, and `url` still backstops videos, where both
derivative URLs are null.

Verified on the local rig with the toggle off, so the photos API returns
preview_url: null exactly as filed. Opening one photo:

  before   GET /photo/82, /photo/81, /photo/21      (3 originals)
  after    GET /preview/82?w=1280, /preview/81, /preview/21

397 KB -> 23 KB per image on that gallery's test photos.

The toggle no longer decides whether the lightbox uses previews, so its copy
said something untrue; it now describes what it still does, which is
pre-generate rather than wait for the first guest to open a photo. Updated in
en/de/fr/sl, the locales that carry those keys.

* fix(gallery): cover the layouts the lightbox fix missed (#1166)

External review found the fix was incomplete, and the review of it found one
more.

Premium galleries were untouched. PhotoGridWithLayouts returns early for
gallery-premium, which builds its own yet-another-react-lightbox slides with
`src: photo.url` — so those galleries kept pulling full originals and the
reported bandwidth problem remained. They now use lightboxImageUrl for the
display source; `download` deliberately stays on photo.url, because what a
guest saves must be the original.

The Story layout was worse, and neither the issue nor the review caught it:
StoryPhotoCard rendered the full original as its GRID TILE, at object-cover in
a small card. That is the one place where "hundreds of megabytes for a gallery"
was literally true. It now uses the per-device thumbnail tier like PhotoCard,
and its PhotoSwipe source uses the preview tier.

Animated GIFs keep the original. generatePreviewImage always encodes JPEG, so
routing an animated source through the preview tier would have replaced the
animation with its first frame — a regression the toggle-off default never
had. Animated WebP has the same problem and cannot be distinguished by MIME
alone; that needs the backend to report it (Sharp's `metadata.pages > 1`) and
is left rather than costing every static-WebP gallery the bandwidth fix.

The settings copy claimed too much. "Pre-generate lightbox previews" does not
generate anything on save — it unlocks the regenerate button and keeps
preview_url emitted. Reworded to say that, in en/de/fr/sl.

Not changed: the review's P1 said this bypassed the secure-image route on
enhanced/maximum galleries. It does not. AuthenticatedImage collects
requiresToken and secureUrlTemplate into an explicitly-voided unusedProps and
never substitutes {{token}}, so on those protection levels photo.url was a
literal `.../secure/82/{{token}}` that returns 400 — the lightbox was falling
back to the 300px thumbnail, not to a protected image. Verified against a live
maximum-protection gallery. Codex withdrew the finding on that evidence.

* fix(gallery): keep premium downloads working and story framing intact (#1166)

Second review round, three findings — two of them regressions this PR
introduced.

Premium Download became a no-op. handleDownloadFromLightbox recovered the
photo with `filteredPhotos.find(p => p.url === slide.src)`, and slide.src is a
derivative now, so the lookup found nothing and the button silently did
nothing. The slide carries the photo id and the handler resolves by that;
what Download hands over is still the original.

Story cards were reframed. thumbnail_fit is seeded to 'cover' on every
install, so thumbnails are square centre-crops — and story cards are not
square (400x500 in the carousel, fixed-height in the desktop grid), so the
card's own object-cover cropped them a second time and every photo shifted.
They now use the preview tier, which is fit:'inside' and therefore the whole
frame: the card looks exactly as it did before, without pulling an original.

APNG joins the animated-format guard. It declares image/apng and the preview
route would serve a static frame. Animated WebP still cannot be detected from
MIME and remains the documented gap.

* fix(gallery): keep PNG on the original, alpha and all (#1166)

Third review round.

generatePreviewImage encodes JPEG, which drops ALPHA as well as animation — a
transparent PNG came back flattened against a solid background. And an APNG is
normally reported as image/png, so the image/apng check alone missed the
common upload path. PNG now stays on the original: it is where transparency is
the norm, and rare enough in an event gallery that the bandwidth given up is
small.

Animated or alpha WebP still cannot be detected from MIME and remains the
documented gap; it needs the backend to report Sharp's `pages`/`hasAlpha`.

Two further findings are acknowledged and deferred rather than fixed here:

- Story cards now request /preview on mount, so a cold gallery generates its
  previews in one burst. That is a new CPU cost, not a regression — those cards
  previously fetched full ORIGINALS on mount, which is strictly worse. Doing it
  properly means viewport-gating AuthenticatedImage, which is a change to a
  component every gallery surface uses and belongs in its own PR.
- The premium layout memoizes slide URLs, so rotating the device before opening
  the lightbox can leave a photo on the tier chosen for the old geometry. The
  result is a slightly undersized image, and the fix is a resize subscription
  this PR does not otherwise need.

* fix(gallery): load Story images on approach, and give the hero its own tier (#1166)

Every card in a Story gallery mounts at page load — `whileInView` gates the
animation, not the render — and AuthenticatedImage fetches from an effect on
mount, so all of them requested at once. That was tolerable while they pointed
at photo.url, because nothing was generated; pointing them at the preview tier
meant a gallery with cold previews would Sharp-decode every original in one
burst. The image now waits until the card is within 200px of the viewport,
using framer-motion's useInView — the same observer the entrance animation
already relies on — with `once` so a card never unloads on scroll-away.

Verified on a 62-photo Story gallery: 3 images fetched at load, growing to 15
as you scroll, where all 62 would have fired before.

While confirming that, the hero turned out to be doing the same thing the
cards were. StoryHero rendered photo.url as a full-bleed object-cover
background — a full original on the critical path for first paint of every
Story gallery — when hero_url exists for exactly this and is a 1920x1080 cover
crop emitted unconditionally for every photo (gallery.js:1139).

That gallery now issues no /photo/ request at all: hero_url for the hero,
the preview tier for the cards, and only as they come into range.

* fix(previews): preserve alpha and animation in the preview tier

Follow-up to #1166, which had to bypass the preview tier for GIF, APNG and PNG
to avoid a visible regression. This removes the cause.

generatePreviewImage encoded JPEG unconditionally. JPEG has no alpha channel
and no second frame, so a transparent PNG came back flattened onto a solid
background and an animated GIF came back as its first frame — for every
consumer of this tier, not just the lightbox: the slideshow (#1015), admin
previews, and the face avatars that read it as a whole-frame rendition. It was
only invisible by default because the lightbox served originals.

Sources with alpha, or more than one page, are now encoded as WebP, which
carries both and is still far smaller than the original. Ordinary photos stay
JPEG — the common path pays nothing.

Two things had to move with it:

- The output extension now matches what was written. A PNG source previously
  produced `preview_foo.png` holding JPEG bytes; harmless while the route
  hard-coded image/jpeg, wrong once the encoding varies. Existing keys keep
  working — they are still JPEG and still served as such.
- The preview route derives Content-Type from the key. With `nosniff` set,
  mislabelling would show a broken image rather than being silently corrected.
  The watermark branch re-encodes to JPEG, so it labels itself explicitly;
  preserving animation through the watermark compositor is a separate problem.

The frontend guess-by-MIME goes away entirely — including the case it could
never get right, since a still and an animated WebP declare the same type.

Verified on the local rig: a transparent PNG round-trips as
`Content-Type: image/webp`, `hasAlpha: true`, 8.3 KB; an ordinary photo still
serves `image/jpeg` from a `.jpg` key.

* fix(previews): retire the legacy preview keys, and stop mislabelling watermarked ones

External review of the stable twin found two defects, both on this branch too.

Legacy keys collide with the new naming. The old generator kept the SOURCE
basename verbatim while always writing JPEG, so a `.webp` upload produced
`previews/preview_shot.webp` holding a JPEG. My PR body claimed "pre-existing
keys have no .webp suffix and are JPEG" — that was simply wrong. The route now
derives Content-Type from the key and the response carries nosniff, so every
photo uploaded as WebP would have rendered as a broken image in the lightbox.
Legacy `.png` keys are wrong the other way: flattened JPEGs of what may have
been transparent sources, which isPreviewValid would have let stand forever.

Migration 188 clears photos.preview_path outright — all of it, not just the
suspicious extensions, because a `.jpg` key can equally be a flattened
rendition and nothing in the key says so. Previews regenerate lazily on next
view under the new encoder, so the cost is one regeneration per photo actually
viewed. Storage is untouched, as elsewhere.

The watermark branch mislabelled its output. applyWatermark PRESERVES the
source format (watermarkService.js:200-211: png stays png, webp stays webp),
and its input is the preview — so the output already matches the key the
header was derived from. Forcing image/jpeg mislabelled every watermarked WebP
preview, and nosniff means the browser would not correct it. The override is
gone; the animation loss through the compositor is documented where it
happens.

* fix(gallery): make the Story hero fix actually work on external galleries (#1166)

External review of the stable twin, both applying here too.

hero_url was inert for external media. ensureHeroImage only ever called
resolvePhotoStorageKey, which returns null for external/reference photos by
design — and that null was handed straight to withLocalCopy, which throws, so
the hero route caught it and redirected to the full ORIGINAL. #1078 fixed
exactly this shape for ensurePreviewImage and nobody carried it across. It
stayed invisible until this PR pointed the Story hero at hero_url: on a
managed gallery that is a real saving, on a reference-mode gallery it quietly
changed nothing. ensureHeroImage now has the same external branch
ensurePreviewImage does — direct fs read, per-photo output basename — and
returns null instead of throwing for a reference-mode row with no
source_origin.

The format bypass trusted mime_type, which is not trustworthy here. Migration
039 backfilled every pre-existing photo to image/jpeg regardless of what it
was, and adminExternalMedia inserts rows with no mime_type at all — so a
mislabelled PNG sailed past the guard and came back flattened. It now checks
the filename extension as well.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 05e23ef1a1 fix(admin): move the maintenance sweeps' run state into the database (#1181) (#1184)
Both photo sweeps tracked whether they were running in a module-level variable.
Correct on one replica, wrong behind a load balancer: the status poll answers
from whichever process it reaches, so an idle replica reports isRunning false
while another is mid-run, the UI re-enables the button, and the next POST lands
elsewhere and starts a second pass over the whole library. The .whereNull()
guards mean nothing is corrupted; the cost is duplicated S3/NAS I/O and an
operator who cannot tell whether a job is running.

Migration 189 adds one row per job. The claim is a conditional UPDATE whose
affected-row count is the answer — the shape backgroundProcessor already uses
to hand a photo to exactly one worker — so two replicas cannot both match.

The lease is fenced on a per-claim token: taking over a stale claim does not
stop the old runner, so without fencing a superseded runner finishing late
cleared the new owner's flag and overwrote its result. heartbeat() reports
renewal failure and the loops stop on it. Renewal runs on a timer spanning the
claim through release, including the candidate query, because one hung NAS read
can outlast the stale window inside a single iteration.

maintenance_jobs is excluded from .picpeak archives — an archive taken mid-sweep
would otherwise restore a live lease with no runner to release it. The importer
filters the same set, so older archives are skipped too.

Response shape is unchanged, so the frontend needs no change.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 410b8f8f6f fix(external-media): record capture dates on import, and backfill existing libraries (#1172) (#1179)
* fix(external-media): record capture dates on import, and backfill existing libraries (#1172)

External imports never read EXIF, so photos.captured_at stayed NULL for every
row they created. The gallery sorts "Date Taken" with
COALESCE(captured_at, uploaded_at), which on a bulk import is the import
timestamp — so the sort silently degraded into "order by import batch" with no
error and nothing in the UI to say the sort key was missing. The reporter's
12-day trip came back with its first two days at positions 4204-5296 of 5555,
because those folders happened to be imported second.

- the import reads the capture date next to the sharp().metadata() call that
  already opens the file, so this costs one more read of the same source rather
  than a second pass over the mount. Best-effort like the dimensions: a source
  without EXIF imports with captured_at NULL, as before.
- POST /api/admin/photos/repair-capture-dates backfills existing libraries,
  modelled on the dimension repair beside it — background pass, in-flight
  guard, status endpoint, and resolvePhotoFilePath, which is what reaches an
  external row at all. Not a migration: the originals sit on a mount that may
  be down at upgrade time, reading 8000+ of them would block the boot, and a
  run that found nothing has to be repeatable.
- "no EXIF date" is counted separately from "could not read the file". An
  operator needs to tell "these files carry no date" from "the mount is
  broken" before deciding to re-run.
- the update is guarded whereNull, so an import finishing mid-run is not
  overwritten by a slower pass.
- every sort branch now carries photos.id as a tiebreaker, not just
  capture_date. A bulk import writes hundreds of rows inside one second, so
  uploaded_at and the COALESCE fallback both collapse and the grid reshuffles
  between loads. id is insertion order, which makes the fallback meaningful.

Not addressed: extractCaptureDate reads no OffsetTimeOriginal, and exifr
resolves a naive EXIF timestamp against the HOST timezone — so captured_at is
not a true instant, and the same file imported on two machines yields two
values. That predates this and applies to managed uploads equally; the tests
here deliberately assert ordering rather than an absolute instant so they do
not encode the bug. Worth its own issue.

* fix(capture-dates): read managed originals through storage, skip archived, claim the run flag (#1172)

Four holes in the backfill endpoint, all found in review:

- Managed photos were resolved with resolvePhotoFilePath, which builds a
  STORAGE_PATH filesystem path. On an S3 install nothing is there, so every
  managed row failed. Now split the way the thumbnail regenerator does:
  external rows read from the mount directly, managed rows go through
  resolvePhotoStorageKey + withLocalCopy.
- Archived events keep their photos rows but their originals are deleted on
  archive, so those rows failed every run and kept the button lit forever.
  Excluded from both the job and the status counts.
- isRunning was claimed after the candidate query, so two concurrent POSTs
  could both pass the guard and start a pass. Claimed before the await, with
  every early exit releasing it.
- The noExif comment promised a distinction extractCaptureDate does not make
  (it returns null for unreadable files too). Reworded to what it is.

* chore: drop a stray node_modules symlink committed by mistake

The .gitignore pattern is `node_modules/`, which matches a directory and
not a symlink of the same name, so a local convenience link slipped past it.
It pointed at an absolute path on one machine and would dangle everywhere
else, breaking `cd backend && npm install`.

* fix(capture-dates): gate the backfill as system maintenance, stop overstating the counters (#1172)

The endpoint walks every event in the install and rewrites their metadata,
but required only photos.edit — which the built-in team_photographer preset
holds (175_granular_permissions_and_presets.js:106). That role exists for a
contributing shooter, who should not be able to start a whole-library S3/NAS
scan or touch another owner's photos. Now system.manage, with the status
endpoint on system.view so the panel simply stays hidden for everyone else.

The "without EXIF date" wording also promised a distinction the code does not
draw: extractCaptureDate returns null for an unparseable file as well as for
one that genuinely carries no date, so both land in that bucket. Reworded to
"no date found" / "unreachable" in en, de and fr, which is what the two
numbers actually separate.

* docs: point the permission note at the follow-up PR (#1172)

The dimension repair's matching gate landed in #1182, so the comment no
longer needs to describe it as unaddressed.

* fix(i18n): align the Slovenian capture-date wording with the other locales (#1172)

sl was missed when the counters were reworded from 'without EXIF date' /
'unreadable' to what they actually measure.

* fix(capture-dates): gate the status card on the permission the button needs (#1172)

system.view and system.manage are independent grants, and StatusTab has no
permission gate of its own — a successful status payload is what renders the
card and its enabled button (StatusTab.tsx:637). Gating the status endpoint on
system.view therefore handed a system.view-only role a live Backfill button
whose every click 403s, with no error surfaced by the mutation.

The comment above it already claimed this endpoint matched the POST. Now it
does.

* fix(gallery): make the Date Taken sort correct on SQLite (#1172)

photos.captured_at does not hold one type on SQLite. Three writers put three
different things in it:

  integer  managed uploads — photoProcessor.js:488 hands knex a Date, which the
           sqlite3 binding stores as epoch milliseconds
  text     external imports and the backfill, which write ISO-8601
  null     no capture date, so the sort falls through to uploaded_at, itself
           text in knex's 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' default shape

A plain COALESCE over that is not an ordering. SQLite sorts INTEGER before TEXT
unconditionally, so every managed photo carrying EXIF came back ahead of every
photo that did not, whatever the dates said — a 2027 capture landing before a
2020 one. Among the text values 'T' (0x54) also outranks the space (0x20), so a
same-day ISO 01:15 sorted behind a fallback 23:00.

Both failures predate this branch — the first needs only two managed photos —
but making that sort correct is what #1172 is about, so it is fixed here rather
than left for the issue it belongs to.

Normalised in the ORDER BY rather than by rewriting the column: the data fix
would have to touch every existing row and every writer, which is a far heavier
change than the sort it corrects. The cost is that this sort no longer uses
idx_photos_captured_at on SQLite — an acceptable trade on the fallback engine,
where the alternative is an index-assisted wrong answer. Postgres is untouched:
captured_at is a real timestamp there and COALESCE already compares correctly.

The regression tests drive the real gallery route on real SQLite. They write
the epoch-millisecond integer directly, because the Date that produces it in
production cannot be reproduced inside jest — there the binding's type dispatch
misses sandbox Dates and stores "[object Object]" (CLAUDE.md). All four
behavioural tests fail on the unfixed ORDER BY; verified by reverting it.

* fix(gallery): normalise epoch-integer uploaded_at too, and stop polling a 403 (#1172)

Two follow-ups from review.

uploaded_at is not always text on SQLite either. A legacy archive restore
leaves epoch milliseconds in it — there is a test pinning exactly that
(__tests__/integration/sqliteEpochTimestamps.test.js) — and the fallback branch
read it with substr(), so '1830297600000' was compared against
'2020-01-01 00:00:00' as text and a 2028 upload sorted first. Both columns now
get the integer/real branch.

The status card also polled every ten seconds regardless of permission. With
the endpoint correctly requiring system.manage, anyone who can open the Status
tab but cannot run the job would have had a 403 and a logged denial every ten
seconds for a panel they were never shown. The query is now gated on the same
permission the endpoint requires, so it never starts.

* style: quote convention in the capture-sort test (#1172)

* fix(capture-dates): skip watcher-imported videos, and make the status counts consistent (#1172)

Three follow-ups from review.

fileWatcher.processNewPhoto sets type='video' and a video/* mime but never
media_type (fileWatcher.js:128-130), so those rows keep the 'image' default
from migration 048. Filtering on media_type alone queued every such video on
every run — extractCaptureDate returns null for a video, captured_at stays
null, and the backlog never cleared. Candidate query and status scope now check
all three markers.

The status counts were two separate queries, so an import committing a dated
photo between them could be counted by the second and not the first: the card
then showed withCaptureDate > total and a negative backlog, with the button
enabled to "fix" it. One aggregate now.

And the card's render checked only the cached payload. TanStack keeps that
after `enabled` flips false, so a lower-privileged admin logging in behind a
system.manage user inside the cache lifetime would still have seen the card and
a button whose POST 403s. The permission is part of the render condition now.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft a7b74bcd87 fix(external-media): store external paths from the media root (#1163) (#1168)
* fix(external-media): store external paths from the media root (#1163)

Importing a second folder into an event silently invalidated every photo
already in it. photos.external_relpath was stored relative to
events.external_path, and every import overwrites that column — so the older
rows were rebased onto the new folder and their originals resolved to paths
that do not exist.

Nothing errored, and the grid still looked intact: thumbnails are written to
local storage during the import while the base path is still correct. Only
what needs the original broke — preview generation, the lightbox, downloads —
which presents as a gallery that looks slow rather than one that is broken.
The reporter had 7547 of 8004 rows pointing into the void and spent a while
chasing it as a CPU problem.

- external_relpath is now relative to EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT, so a row is
  self-describing and nothing an admin does to the event afterwards can move
  an already-imported photo.
- migration 187 folds each event's base path into its rows. Where the current
  resolution is missing on disk it walks up the base path for an ancestor
  under which the file IS there — the already-rebased case — and where it
  finds nothing it leaves the row resolving exactly where it resolves today.
  Skipped entirely when the media root is unmounted, since every file looks
  missing then.
- the fold also runs after a .picpeak restore: knex_migrations is excluded
  from the archive, so a pre-#1163 backup would otherwise land base-relative
  rows on a migrated instance.
- drops the duplicate-leaf-segment guess in photoResolver. It papered over
  this same double-prefixing and actively corrupts a root-relative path whose
  first segment legitimately repeats (base 'Trip', row 'Trip/x.jpg').

* fix(external-media): verify provenance and fold atomically (#1163)

External review found four real defects in the fold.

Repair could adopt the wrong file. Existence alone was accepted as proof that
an ancestor candidate was the row's original — so a row whose file an admin
simply deleted would adopt any same-named file one directory up (base
`Trip/Sub`, relpath `photo.jpg`, an unrelated `Trip/photo.jpg`), and downloads
would then serve a different photo. Worse than a dead link. An ancestor must
now also match photos.size_bytes, which the import recorded from the very file
the row describes; rows carrying no size are never repaired from an ancestor.
The CURRENT base is still accepted on existence alone, because nothing is
being inferred there — that is where the row already resolves.

The fold was not atomic. Every UPDATE committed independently and the marker
came last, so a process killed mid-fold left converted and unconverted rows
with no marker — and the next run folded the converted ones a second time,
putting every original one directory deeper with no undo. Probing is now a
read-only first phase (so a slow cold NAS does not hold a write transaction
open), and every rewrite plus the marker commit together.

Failed rewrites certified a partial conversion. The per-row catch counted any
error as a collision, carried on, and wrote the marker anyway — leaving that
row in the old format for a resolver that now reads it differently. It also
could not tell a genuine duplicate from a SQLite lock or I/O fault. Target
collisions are now resolved in the planning phase, where they can be
identified honestly, and a write that fails rolls the whole fold back.

Restore ordering. The fold ran after the face requeue, with the worker live —
so a worker could claim an external row while it was still base-relative,
resolve it against the wrong path, and burn it to 'failed', a state only an
explicit Re-scan clears. The fold now runs first, for the same reason the
requeue already sat after restoreFiles.

* fix(external-media): close the fold's remaining stranding paths (#1163)

Second review round, three findings.

A collision loser was left stranded. When an event imported one file through
both `Trip` and `Trip/Sub`, two rows folded to the same path and the loser was
skipped — keeping a base-relative value that the root-only resolver then reads
as `<root>/<relpath>`, permanently wrong, with the marker claiming conversion
was complete. It is a duplicate by construction, so it now goes through
migration 186's deleteDuplicatePhotos, which reparents its feedback and marks
and reconciles the face clusters instead of orphaning them. This branch is
rebased onto #1162 for that helper.

The other restore path had the same face-ordering bug. restoreService queued
face scans in step 6, before step 7c runs pending migrations — so a pre-187
full or database restore handed the live worker rows whose paths were still
event-relative, and it burned them to 'failed', a state the later fold does
not clear. The requeue now happens after the migrations, where the files
already are.

A failed conversion was reported as a clean restore. The fold is
transactional, so a failure leaves every external path in the old format under
a resolver that reads from the media root — every original unreachable. It was
logged as a warning and the restore returned success. It now returns
externalPathsConverted/externalPathError, and suppresses the face requeue,
which would otherwise mark those photos failed on top.

* fix(external-media): make the fold safe against its own intermediate states (#1163)

Third review round, four findings.

A one-pass rewrite could collide with itself. Every FINAL path is distinct,
but a final value can equal another row's CURRENT one — `photo.jpg` repairing
to `Trip/photo.jpg` while the row already holding `Trip/photo.jpg` folds
deeper — so the update violated migration 186's unique index halfway through.
On Postgres that surfaces as 23505, which run-migrations-safe.js mistakes for
"schema already exists" and records 187 as applied after the rollback, leaving
every path unconverted with nothing to retry. Rows now park on a per-row
staging value first, and migration 187 re-throws without the driver's code so
the runner cannot misread it.

The bulk update targeted rows the plan never saw. Phase 1 probes outside the
transaction and can run for minutes; an import finishing in that window
inserts an already root-relative row, and `where event_id` prefixed it again
with the stale base. It now updates by the ids phase 1 captured.

The restore UI never showed a conversion failure. The API carried
externalPathsConverted, but PicpeakBackupCard neither declared nor read it and
showed a green success either way — so an admin whose external originals were
all unreachable was told the restore worked.

restoreService requeued faces even when the migrations failed. The step 7c
catch is deliberately non-fatal, so a pre-187 backup whose fold never ran
still handed the live worker event-relative paths to burn to 'failed'.

* fix(external-media): the fold's staging value must be storable on Postgres (#1163)

External review of the stable twin caught this, and it was on both branches.

The two-pass rewrite parks each row on a temporary value, and that value was
written with a leading NUL. SQLite stores NUL in TEXT without complaint;
Postgres rejects it outright — "invalid byte sequence for encoding UTF8: 0x00"
— so migration 187 rolled back on exactly the installs that need the two-pass
repair, and only on the engine most of them run. Restores hit the same wall
and reported the conversion as failed.

The prefix is ordinary text now. It still cannot collide with a real relative
path and is still obviously wrong if a crash leaves one behind.

Adds a gated Postgres test alongside the existing picpeakRestorePg one,
because a SQLite-only suite structurally cannot catch this class: restoring
the NUL makes exactly the two-pass repair case fail with that error, and
nothing else.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 06da1b9f7e fix(external-media): one row per external file per event (#1162) (#1167)
* fix(external-media): one row per external file per event (#1162)

Two overlapping import-external runs against the same event inserted every
file twice. The route checked for an existing external_relpath and then
inserted, with an fs.stat and a sharp().metadata() read sitting in between —
a window wide enough for both runs to see "not there". A reporter's event
held 8004 rows for 6012 distinct paths.

Nothing at the storage layer stopped it: migration 041 created only a
NON-unique (event_id, source_origin) index.

- migration 186 removes the duplicates that already exist and adds a partial
  unique index on (event_id, external_relpath). The survivor is the lowest id
  that has a thumbnail, so a half-finished import does not cost a grid tile,
  and hero references are repointed first because the FK is SET NULL.
- the route treats a unique violation as a skip and carries on, so a second
  writer this process cannot see (another replica) converges instead of
  duplicating or 500ing.
- a second import while one is already running now gets a 409 rather than
  walking the whole tree to have every insert bounce.

The duplicates' thumbnail files are left behind as unreferenced bytes — a
migration is the wrong place to reach into storage, which may be S3.

* fix(external-media): keep dependent rows and legacy restores intact (#1162)

External review found two real defects in the dedupe half of this fix.

Dangling rows on SQLite. Every FK into photos declares ON DELETE CASCADE, but
PicPeak never sets `PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON` — the codebase says so where it
deletes an event (adminEvents/helpers.js:245) — so on every SQLite install the
cascade is inert and deleting a duplicate photo left its face embeddings,
guest feedback and admin marks behind, pointing at an id that no longer
exists. Biometric data outliving its photo is exactly the invariant the event
delete goes out of its way to hold.

Dependents are now handled explicitly, and moved rather than discarded where
they can be: the duplicates were separate tiles in the grid, so a guest's
comment or an admin's rating could legitimately be on either, and dropping it
inside a fix for silent data loss would be its own bug. Where the target
already holds an equivalent row — the same guest's like, the same admin's
mark, the same transfer's entry — the loser is dropped, because those tables
mean one row per (photo, actor). photo_faces is the deliberate exception: both
rows were scanned, so moving would duplicate every embedding and split the
person clusters built from them.

Legacy restores. Suspending FK enforcement does not suspend a UNIQUE index on
either engine, so a .picpeak backup taken before migration 186 — carrying
exactly the duplicates it removes — would hit the new index mid-batchInsert
and roll the whole restore back, after every table had already been emptied.
The restore now drops the index for the load and rebuilds it after running
the same dedupe.

Also: a failed CREATE INDEX is no longer swallowed. Recording the migration as
applied without it leaves the install permanently racy, with nothing to
trigger a retry.

The shared work moves to services/externalPhotoDedupe.js, which the migration
and the restore both call.

* fix(external-media): reconcile derived state around the dedupe (#1162)

Second review round, four more real findings.

The index throw did not actually stop anything. run-migrations-safe.js treats
23505 as "schema already exists" and marks the migration applied
(run-migrations-safe.js:138) — and a CREATE UNIQUE INDEX that finds duplicate
rows raises exactly 23505 on Postgres. A replica inserting one between the
dedupe and the index lock is a real rolling-deploy shape, and the outcome was
the thing the throw was added to prevent. The index is now verified against
the catalog afterwards, and failure raises a code-less error the runner cannot
mistake for idempotence.

Two people sharing a device were treated as one. photo_feedback carries both
guest_identifier (per device) and guest_id (per person, migration 078), and
feedbackService scopes by guest_id when present. Keying equivalence on the
identifier alone deleted one of two different people's ratings. It now uses
the same COALESCE rule the service does.

Deleting faces raw left ghost people. event_people counts and centroids are
derived from the photo_faces rows being removed, and #1132's separation
snapshots hold a copy of each side's centroid — which is why faceProcessor
exposes purgePhotoFaces and says it is "called from every photo-deletion
path". The dedupe now goes through it.

Reparenting feedback left the survivor's totals stale. photos carries
denormalized feedback_count / like_count / average_rating / favorite_count and
the later reaction and colour counts, so a survivor that now owns feedback kept
rendering zero. updatePhotoFeedbackStats takes a trx so the dedupe can
recompute on its own connection.

Also: the equivalence-key delimiter was a literal NUL byte, which made git
classify the whole file as binary and hide its diff. Escaped.

* fix(external-media): stop the dedupe discarding half-states (#1162)

Third review round. Five findings, four applied.

- is_hidden joins the feedback equivalence key. feedbackService lets a
  moderator-hidden row coexist with the guest's visible replacement and counts
  only the visible one, so ignoring it deleted the visible row as redundant.
- admin marks merge instead of dropping. rating and color_label are written
  independently, so the same admin can have rated one tile and coloured the
  other; the loser now hands over any field the winner has no value for.
- a survivor that loses the only completed scan is requeued. Otherwise the
  purge takes the sole embeddings and nothing re-queues it — the photo just
  silently stops having a face.
- view_count and download_count are carried over. Those are real interactions
  recorded per row, and dropping them quietly lowered the engagement the admin
  grid shows.

Not applied: repointing a category hero can in principle land on a survivor in
another category. It needs the two duplicate rows to have been re-categorised
apart after the racing import, and the result is a cosmetic hero mismatch that
the admin category routes already guard on write. Not worth the extra branch
in a data migration.

* fix(external-media): invalidate the download zip when duplicates are removed (#1162)

External review of the stable twin. Applies to both branches.

The pre-built "download everything" archive still contained the duplicate rows
the dedupe had just deleted, so guests kept receiving them until something
else happened to invalidate it. Every ordinary photo-deletion path calls
downloadZipService.invalidate for exactly this reason.

The columns are cleared rather than the service being called: that service
carries debounce timers and a regeneration queue, which is not something a
migration should start. getZipInfo already treats a cleared record as a cache
miss and rebuilds on the next request, so this is the durable half of what
invalidate does. The stale object is left in storage for the same reason the
duplicates' thumbnails are — a migration is the wrong place to reach into a
backend that may be S3.

Paul Nothaft c305ad4146 feat(faces): make "not the same person" survive a re-scan (#1132) (#1145)
A separation — an explicit dismissal, or the implicit one a Split records — was stored as a pair of event_people.id. Those ids do not survive re-derivation: recluster() deletes every person, and a full re-scan replaces a photo's faces outright, so face ids die too. The only thing that survives both is the embedding, so the decision is keyed on the two centroids the pair had when the photographer separated them. It binds while both sides still look like the clusters that were separated, and lapses once they have drifted past recognition.

The constraint is now honoured at assignment time as well as in consolidate(), which is what makes it hold across a re-scan rather than being reformed before any later pass could object.

Six review rounds shaped the matching itself: each candidate must resolve to the OPPOSITE side rather than merely matching something (a split leaves two similar halves, and the loose test fragmented the person the split was not even about); assignment judges both sides at the ordinary match threshold, since a single face — or a cluster of one part-way through a recluster — cannot resemble a settled centroid; separations carry their own model_version; and the projections are hoisted out of the innermost loop, which took a 2000-photo scan from ~15s of dot products to 0.23s.

Lifecycle closed three ways: purgePhotoFaces re-anchors each side onto the live cluster it still describes and drops rows that describe nothing left, deleteEventCascade and the permanent archive delete clear the table (which deliberately has no event FK), and a later manual merge drops the separations it reverses. All of it matched on vectors rather than ids, since a row that has outlived a recluster names people who no longer exist.

Paul Nothaft 2c81888eaf fix(gallery): a guest's own hidden feedback is hidden from them too (#1150) (#1153)
Everything in the system treats a hidden row as absent — getPhotoFeedback drops it even for the guest's own feedback, and updatePhotoFeedbackStats does not count it. The per-viewer is_liked heart and my_color_label badge read the row without looking at is_hidden, so a like the photographer had hidden still showed as liked on a photo whose like_count was zero.

Making those agree exposes why it had not been fixed: the duplicate check behind like/favorite toggling did not skip hidden rows either, so the now-empty heart, when clicked, found the hidden row and toggled it OFF — the click did nothing visible and the moderation was silently undone. Skipping hidden rows there makes the click create a fresh, visible row.

Review found four more surfaces still treating a hidden row as present: the per-guest caps (an at-cap guest with one hidden met their own click with limit_reached), /my-feedback (which drives the Liked/Favorited/Rated chips in guest identity mode), getEventFeedbackSummary (disagreeing with the photo counters in the same response), and unhide (leaving two visible rows for one guest). The rating-clear and single-value delete scopes are visible-only now, so a follow-up mutation no longer destroys the admin's hidden record, and the unhide collapse is skipped when there is no stable identity to scope by — that fallback was 'guest_identifier IS NULL', i.e. other visitors' rows.

Not taken: refusing to hide non-comment feedback, which the issue recommended. #839 and #1044 both ship hiding for reactions and colour labels with tests asserting a hidden one stops counting; only the admin UI's Hide button is comment-only.

Paul Nothaft 00b20b2d72 fix(gallery): guest filters respect show_feedback_to_guests, and marks survive a mid-write clear (#1147)
Two follow-ups from the review of #1137.

Filters were a second way to read hidden feedback. Every token on /photos is an OR of two halves: what THIS viewer marked, and what ANYONE marked. The response fields built from the second half — like_count, comment_count, color_label_count — are all gated on show_feedback_to_guests. The filter was not, so with the setting off a guest could still send ?filter=liked and get back exactly the photos other people liked, across all five tokens. Reachable by a direct API caller holding a gallery token; the frontend never sends filter to this endpoint.

The half it left standing was also the wrong half. It read guest_identifier from the guest_id QUERY PARAMETER, which never matched anything — the frontend invents that string in localStorage and never sends it when submitting feedback, while submissions store generateGuestIdentifier(req). So gating the aggregate would have emptied these filters rather than narrowing them to 'mine', and accepting a caller-supplied identifier was a way back through the gate. Resolved from the request now, hidden rows excluded to match what the viewer can see.

A mark whose row is cleared mid-write lost its value. #1137 fixed two calls both writing; this is one clearing while another sets. The clear empties the row, the row is deleted for being empty, and the setter's update matches nothing — the caller told 'no mark'.

Paul Nothaft e4a8be8e7e fix(gallery): no Logout button on galleries that don't require a password (#1149) (#1152)
showLogout was hard-coded true, so a gallery with no password showed a Logout button. Logging out of it is meaningless — no credential to drop, nothing to return to — and it stranded the visitor: GalleryPage's auto-login is a one-shot latch, so clearing the session left the page on its skeleton until a manual reload. That is the 'turns blank' in the report.

The button is gated on requiresPassword || isClient || viaCustomer at both call sites. The full-page layouts render it on the callback being present rather than on a flag, so withholding the callback is how the gate reaches them.

Session kind now comes from /auth/session rather than sessionStorage, which is per-tab while the cookie is per-browser: a gallery reopened in a second tab lost 'client' while the backend kept serving it as one. viaCustomer marks a portal token, which bypasses reveal mode and so is a credential that does not look like one.

The public-gallery branch no longer returns the skeleton unconditionally — once auto-login has run and left us unauthenticated it shows the reason and a Retry. That state was otherwise unrecoverable, and it also swallowed loginError entirely.

Paul Nothaft b581267031 fix(scripts): regenerate-thumbnails resolves external sources through ensureThumbnail (#1148) (#1151)
The CLI fallback carried the defect #1129 fixed in the admin route: it computed `storage/events/active/<photo.path>` and fs.access'd it, a location that does not exist for external or reference rows. Every one failed the check and was counted as an error, so on an external-media install the script was inert while reporting one error per photo.

Resolution now goes through ensureThumbnail, which already branches on source_origin and owns the per-photo ext<id>_ output name — sharing it is what stops the script and the route drifting apart again.

Also: videos skipped on every marker they can carry (fileWatcher writes type and mime_type but never media_type), responsive tiers backfilled alongside the canonical rendition, skip-vs-generate asked from isThumbnailValid rather than inferred from an unchanged path, tier failures counted rather than swallowed, and a nonzero exit when the backfill was incomplete.

The script is now importable with the CLI behind a require.main guard; it previously ran on require and called process.exit, so it could not be tested at all — which is why this survived #1129.

Luca e2844d1909 feat(gallery): colour labels for client proofing, and one global default per feedback type (#1044) (#1137)
Colour labels for client proofing, plus the photographer's own stars and colours in the admin grid.

- Guest colour labels alongside likes/reactions, opt-in per event (defaults off so live galleries do not change mid-proofing), with 'colors' and 'lightroom' keybind schemes.
- One global default per feedback type, replacing the per-type scatter.
- Admin marks live in their own table (photo_admin_marks) so they can never reach a guest-facing surface.
- XMP export prefers a real label, keeping the rating-derived mapping as a fallback.

Review: concurrent-write loss on the mark update path, migration index idempotency and error classification all fixed in 7139bcae; migrations renumbered to 182/183 in 8fecdfae after 180/181 were taken on main.

Paul Nothaft 3583c924da feat(faces): consolidate look-alike clusters after a scan, and suggest the rest (#1107)
consolidate() has existed since #1074 and described this exact symptom in its own
comment, but its only caller was recluster() — i.e. when an admin pressed
Re-group people. After a normal background scan the centroids converged and
nobody looked, so a gallery settled with 14 people that should have been 8.

It now runs when a scan drains. There is no scan-finished event to hook, so an
idle worker asks whether the events it touched have actually drained — 'a worker
went idle' is deliberately not treated as sufficient, because with concurrency
above one the others may still be working.

The uncertain band asks instead of acting: pairs between the assignment
threshold and the stricter auto-merge one surface as accept/dismiss suggestions,
with sticky dismissals. Nothing merges silently — a pass that merged anything
reports it and points at Split.

Review rounds hardened it against overruling explicit decisions: it no longer
absorbs ignored clusters (mergePeople ORs is_ignored onto the survivor, which
would have hidden a real person), no longer merges dismissed pairs, no longer
undoes a manual Split (which now records a separation), and no longer runs after
detection is switched off. The dismissal read fails closed, a failed pass is
retried with backoff rather than lost or hot-looped, and the new table follows
event_people out of exports and backups.

Name autocomplete needs no endpoint — the people list already open is the source,
and it is event-scoped on purpose.

Known limitation, tracked in #1132: separations are keyed on person ids, so a
full re-scan loses them.

Paul Nothaft 87115b28e8 fix(gallery): give masonry tiles their real shape back (#1130, #1131)
Two independent causes of the same symptom — an aspect-ratio layout that does
not lay anything out.

gallery-premium discarded the tile height MasonryPhotoAlbum computed from
photos.width/height and set height:auto on both card and image, so the rendered
shape came from the intrinsic ratio of whatever rendition was served. With
thumbnail_fit seeded 'cover' by migration 040 every rendition is square, so the
layout drew identical squares and was indistinguishable from grid. The card now
uses the height it is given and the stylesheet's existing height:100% applies.

The bundled CSS templates pinned images to a fixed pixel height, which has
specificity (0,1,1) and beats the .h-full utility (0,1,0) six of the seven
layouts use. Elegant Dark is seeded is_default, so that was the out-of-the-box
result for any layout other than grid/timeline.

Migrations 052/053 corrected for fresh installs; 181 repairs the rows already
seeded. Whitespace-tolerant because sanitizeCSS strips newlines from any
template ever saved through the editor — an exact-text migration would have
silently no-opped on most real installs. The height property is matched with a
lookbehind so line-height/max-height/min-height are untouched, grouped selectors
are handled, and nested rules are skipped rather than mis-rewritten.

Both reported, measured in the live DOM, by @BraynArts.

Paul Nothaft 97d92f8428 fix(thumbnails): regenerate external photos instead of dropping their tiers (#1129)
POST /admin/thumbnails/regenerate resolved every source as
storage/events/active/<photo.path> and fs.access'd it. External and reference
rows are not there, so every one failed and was counted as an error — and
because the tier deletion runs first, the endpoint dropped every ?w= tier and
rebuilt nothing, leaving the library worse than before it ran. The UI reported
success either way.

Now routed through ensureThumbnail, which resolves both source kinds, uses the
per-photo ext<id>_ output name, and writes thumbnail_path back itself.

Review rounds also removed both destructive deletes in generateThumbnail: the
pre-delete ran before sharp opened the source, so an unreadable source left the
previous rendition gone and the database pointing at it — across a bulk run,
the whole gallery. Neither delete was needed, since put stages to a temp file
and renames atomically and is the last statement in the try.

Videos are filtered out, and the superseded rendition is removed only when the
storage key actually moved, compared through the same canonicalisation the
backends apply so a legacy backslash path is not mistaken for a different
object.

Reported by @BraynArts, who also identified the fix.

Paul Nothaft f735d26422 fix(gallery): a missing thumbnail tier must not take the backend down (#1128)
The first load of a gallery whose ?w= tiers do not exist yet could exit the Node
process — not 500 one tile, kill the backend. Two defects stacked.

The reader: LocalFsStorage.get() returns a lazy fs.createReadStream, so an ENOENT
arrives after the await returned and outside the route's try/catch. An unhandled
'error' event is a process-level throw. pipeStreamToResponse attaches the handler
the routes were missing — 404 for a vanished source, connection destroyed if
bytes are already on the wire, file headers cleared so the JSON error is not
served as image/jpeg or cached as a broken tile for an hour. Applied to all nine
streaming responses in gallery.js.

The writer: ensureThumbnailAtWidth passed regenerate:true, whose first act is to
DELETE the target — on a path only reached when the tier is absent. A grid fires
one request per tile, so one request unlinked the file another had just published
and handed to a reader. Without the flag the write is an atomic rename.

Generation is now also deduped per tier key: 8 concurrent requests ran 5 Sharp
passes before, 1 after.

Paul Nothaft bbce3cd2a2 feat(faces): let the photographer choose which photo represents a person (#1119)
Phase 1 of #1096.

Clustering picks the cover, and its idea of a good one and a human's do not
always agree. A cluster whose avatar is turned away or softer than the rest
stays that way in the guest-facing people strip too, and nothing in the UI
could change it.

A picker reachable from each person row, reusing the face list the split
dialog already loads — same query, same grid, different action on a click.

Making the choice actually stick took four changes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
event_people.cover_face_id has existed since migration 177 and the PATCH
already accepted it, so the first version of this was frontend-only. It was
also a no-op:

- facePeopleService.listPeople SELECTED cover_face_id and then discarded it,
  recomputing the cover as the best-scoring VISIBLE face on every read. The
  picker saved, said so, and the avatar reverted immediately. It now prefers
  the stored pick whenever this audience can see it, and falls back to the
  score-ordered choice otherwise — so visibility scoping still wins, and a
  guest is never handed a crop of a photo they cannot open.
- recomputeCentroid overwrote cover_face_id unconditionally. It runs on
  rescan and on photo replacement, so any reprocessing silently undid a
  deliberate choice. It now keeps the chosen face while it is still a member
  of the cluster.
- The face list is cached per person, and split/merge move faces between
  people. Until now the only reader closed itself after acting, so nobody saw
  the stale copy; the picker is a second reader of the same key.
- cover_face_id meant two things. assignFaces seeded it with whichever face
  opened the cluster and recomputeCentroid overwrote it with the highest
  scoring one, so an automatic guess was indistinguishable from a deliberate
  choice — and honouring it would have pinned every UNCURATED person to that
  guess, which is worse than the fallback it replaced (the fallback is
  computed per audience and skips photos a guest cannot open). Both writers
  are gone, migration 179 clears the stored guesses, and the column now means
  one thing. That also removes the need to defend the choice against rescans:
  nothing overwrites it, and a dangling id self-heals to the derived cover.

Clearing existing values is safe rather than destructive: no install has ever
been able to SET a cover, so every stored value is an automatic guess by
construction.

Also fixes a PostgreSQL-only 500
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
GET /admin/events/:id/people/:personId/faces joined `photos` but did not
table-qualify its WHERE, and photo_faces and photos BOTH have an event_id:

  column reference "event_id" is ambiguous

Postgres refuses it, so the endpoint 500s and the Split dialog — its only
consumer until now — has been broken on every PostgreSQL install since the
join was added. SQLite resolves the ambiguity silently, which is why the suite
stayed green. Reproduced against a real Postgres before and after.

The query is now a named builder the route calls and the test imports, rather
than a copy: an earlier version of that test re-declared the query, so the
route could regress to the bare form while the assertions kept passing.

Merge and recluster preserve the choice as well. Both already carried labels
and privacy flags across; the chosen cover is human state of the same kind, so
it now rides along — through a merge when the target has none, and through a
recluster by following its FACE into whichever cluster ends up holding it,
rather than the majority-descendant rule the label uses.

The picker and the endpoint disagree past 500 faces, so the picker now says
when it is showing a capped list rather than presenting it as exhaustive.

Frontend suite 178 passing, backend 23 across the touched suites, build clean,
no new type errors. Mutation-checked twice: dropping the cover preference fails
the new listPeople test while the visibility-scoping test still passes, and
restoring the auto-seed in assignFaces fails it too.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 887bdbe6e5 feat(gallery): responsive grid thumbnails (#1095) (#1109)
* feat(gallery): responsive grid thumbnails (#1095)

The half of #1095 that #1099 deliberately left out. Grid tiles are ~175
CSS px at the mobile 2-column default — about 530 device px on a DPR-3
phone — so the 300px thumbnail is upscaled ~1.8x and faces visibly mush.

Backend mirrors the preview tiers exactly: ?w= on the gallery thumbnail
route, whitelisted to 300/600/900, cached by width in storage, never
written to photos.thumbnail_path, and keyed by photo id for every source
type — basenames are not unique across events and a tier is served from a
cache hit without re-reading the source, which is how the preview tiers
nearly leaked one gallery's photo into another. The tier is in the ETag,
or a client holding the 300px file gets a 304 for its 600px request.
Cleanup and regenerate invalidation are wired the same way.

generateThumbnail now takes width/height overrides; it keeps the
configured `fit`, because the grid renders with object-cover and tiers
that were framed differently would visibly jump as the viewport changes.

The srcset only advertises tiers the SOURCE can fill. Thumbnails are
generated withoutEnlargement, so a 400px original asked for 900 comes
back at 400 — advertising "900w" would have the browser pick that
candidate and upscale it, which is the reported softness made worse. That
exact trap is why this was held back from #1099; the photo's own
dimensions are now the guard, measured on the SHORT edge because
thumbnails are square and a 4000x600 panorama can still only fill a 600
tile. A source that clears only one tier gets no srcset at all rather
than a single pointless candidate.

Two things this surfaced, both worth knowing separately:

`npx tsc --noEmit` type-checks NOTHING in this project — the root
tsconfig is `files: []` with project references, so the real command is
`tsc -b`, which is what build:check runs. Under tsc -b the repo has 43
files with pre-existing type errors; this branch adds none, and the one
error in a file I touched (PeopleManagerModal:91) is on main already and
unrelated to the line I changed.

* fix(gallery): wire grid tiers into the component that actually renders

The srcSet landed in PhotoGrid.tsx, which nothing imports — GalleryView
renders PhotoGridWithLayouts, and every grid layout funnels its tile
through the shared PhotoCard. The frontend half of #1095 shipped nothing.

Moved to PhotoCard, and switched from srcSet to a single sized URL, the
same shape PhotoLightbox already uses for preview tiers. AuthenticatedImage
fetches its src with the gallery bearer token and renders the blob; an
<img> carrying a w-descriptor srcSet ignores src entirely, so that fetch
would have been discarded and the browser would have issued its own —
unauthenticated, and resolved against the page origin rather than the
configured API host. One URL keeps the auth path and halves the requests.

The tier comes from the tile's measured width via the IntersectionObserver
entry, read on the same render that reveals the image so nothing is fetched
twice. Column counts differ per layout and shift again with thumbnailScale,
so the breakpoint table is only a fallback.

Also closes what the tier cache leaked or served stale:

- ensureThumbnailAtWidth short-circuits videos. Their thumbnail is a poster
  frame, so the tier path handed the video file to Sharp — after downloading
  it in full on S3, uncached, once per request.
- The ETag names the tier actually served, not the one requested. A fallback
  to the canonical thumbnail was caching a 300px image under a 900px key.
- Tier height scales from the configured aspect ratio instead of forcing a
  square; with fit:'cover' a 300x200 canonical and a 600x600 tier are two
  different crops and the photo reframed between tiers.
- The canonical short-circuit compares against the configured thumbnail_width,
  not the 300 default, so a 600px install stops generating duplicate tiers.
- Tier invalidation on /admin/thumbnails/regenerate, above the local-file
  check that skips S3 and external rows.
- Tier cleanup in replacePhoto and deleteEventCascade. Both derive keys from
  the photo row, so the rows have to be read before they change or vanish.
  Preview tiers had the same two holes and are swept alongside.

The clamp no longer drops a tier when the source falls between them: a 400px
short edge asked for 600 returns all 400 pixels, where clamping to 300 threw
100 of them away.

Backend 18 tier tests, frontend 22. Full suites green: 293 backend across the
touched areas, 185 frontend, build clean, no new type errors.

* fix(gallery): measure the tile, and stop regenerating the w300 tier

Follow-up to the review of #1095. Closes the three items left open there,
plus a defect the previous commit introduced.

**The w300 tier regenerated on every request.** Decoupling the canonical
short-circuit from the hardcoded 300 left generateThumbnail still tagging
against DEFAULT_THUMBNAIL_WIDTH. On an install with thumbnail_width=600 a
w=300 request wrote `thumb_<name>` while the caller probed for
`thumb_w300_<name>`: the cache never hit, so every request re-downloaded the
original and ran Sharp, and the file it left behind was in no cleanup list.
The tag now follows the configured width, and thumbnailTierKeys lists all
three widths — which one is canonical is a setting, so excluding 300 stranded
exactly the file a 600-configured install generates.

**The tier is chosen from the tile's measured width.** The observer entry
only exists for `lazy` cards, and Mosaic, Masonry and Timeline don't pass it
— Mosaic is 1-up on mobile where Grid is 2-up, so they are the layouts a
breakpoint guess gets most wrong. Measured in a layout effect and gated: the
image is not rendered until the width is known, so AuthenticatedImage never
mounts with a src it has to replace. Attaching the observer ref
unconditionally instead refetches every tile, since React flushes passive
effects before the sync re-render a layout effect triggers — removing the
gate makes the new single-request test fail, which is how that was confirmed
rather than assumed.

**Gallery Premium has its own card** and never reached the shared one, so its
tiles kept pulling the canonical thumbnail. MasonryPhotoAlbum already hands
the laid-out width to the render prop, so it needed no measurement.

**Event rename orphaned tiers.** The key embeds the basename, so the DB
update is the point past which the old keys cannot be derived. Dropped inside
the filename-changed branch, not the loop body: unconditional would fire four
storage deletes per photo on every rename, 20k calls against S3 for a
5,000-photo event that merely had its slug adjusted. Preview tiers had the
same hole and are swept alongside.

Carousel is the seventh layout and deliberately gets no tiering: its
filmstrip thumbs are 80 CSS px, under the canonical 300 even at DPR 3.

Tests: first PhotoCard suite (6), backend tier suite 21. Both new behaviours
mutation-checked — reverting the width tag, the render gate, the measurement,
or the rename sweep each fails a test. Full suites green: 298 backend across
the touched areas, 191 frontend, build clean, no new type or lint findings.

* fix(gallery): mount masonry cards once, into a measured layout

Found while capturing screenshots for this PR, by attributing every thumbnail
request to a photo id rather than eyeballing the grid.

Masonry columns mode starts at 3 columns and runs its greedy distribution off
a hardcoded 300px estimate until the container has been measured. Cards
mounted into that guess are torn down when it settles — photos move to a
different parent column, so React unmounts them — and since #1095 each mount
picks its tier from its own width, the two mounts request two DIFFERENT urls.

Measured on a 1440px desktop, production build, 62 photos:

  before   45 photos fetched at canonical AND w600, 17 stuck on w600
           107 requests
  after    62 photos, canonical only, 62 requests

Mobile was already landing on one tier either way, so both mounts produced the
same url and the second was a cache hit — which is why it looked clean and the
desktop case did not.

The fix is the gate the rows/justified mode in this same file already applies
for the same reason (line 346): hold the cards back until containerWidth is
known. Only columns mode was missing it. Grid and Justified take their column
counts from CSS breakpoints, so they have no transient measured value to
discard and are unaffected.

Worth noting this was NOT visible on main: without tiering both mounts request
the same url, so the browser cache absorbs the duplicate. Tiering is what turns
a harmless remount into a second download — the regression is this PR's, which
is why it is fixed here rather than deferred.

Frontend suite 194 passed (3 new). Mutation-checked: removing the gate fails
the mount-once and placeholder tests.

Paul Nothaft 00776234fd fix(security): let cors() own Access-Control-Allow-Origin on protected images (#1118)
Closes #1116.

secureImageMiddleware set its own Access-Control-Allow-Origin, overwriting the
one cors(corsOptions) had already computed. server.js:247 mounts cors() on all
of /api with credentials:true, so by the time the route handler ran the correct
header was already there — and the local assignment replaced it with a worse
answer in BOTH directions:

  unresolved -> '*'. Combined with the credentials:true that cors() sets, that
    is an invalid pair browsers reject outright. Unreachable on Docker until
    #1104 stopped compose injecting FRONTEND_URL; reachable on a fresh install
    from then until the wizard stores general_site_url.

  resolved   -> the frontend origin, even when the request legitimately came
    from the allowlisted ADMIN_URL. A split admin host got a header naming the
    wrong origin and the browser rejected a request cors() had allowed.

Deleting the line fixes both. cors() already validates the request Origin
against the allowlist, sets Vary: Origin, omits the header entirely for a
disallowed or absent Origin, and pairs correctly with credentials. Methods,
Headers and Max-Age stay here: they are route-specific and cors() does not
contradict them.

Observed against a running instance before and after:

  allowlisted Origin    ACAO: <that origin> + Vary: Origin + credentials:true
  disallowed Origin     no ACAO
  no Origin header      no ACAO

Six tests, mounted on a real Express app with server.js's middleware order.
Deliberately NOT a unit test against a response double: the first version of
this fix was a guarded assignment that looked correct in isolation and still
overwrote cors() whenever an origin resolved. A double cannot see middleware
composition, which is exactly how that slipped through.

Mutation-checked both ways — restoring the original `|| '*'` fails 5 of 6, and
restoring the guarded assignment fails 3 of 6 including the admin-origin case.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 011f6ae7ec feat(gallery): sized preview tiers so phones stop pulling 1920px (#1095) (#1099)
* feat(gallery): sized preview tiers so phones stop pulling 1920px (#1095)

A phone can display ~1170px at most, but the preview tier is a single
1920px JPEG with no size parameter — so every lightbox swipe ships
roughly twice the bytes it can use, and the slide track preloads
neighbours, which multiplies it. On the reporter's all-external install
a null preview_url falls back to the untouched NAS original, which makes
it worse again.

Backend: ?w= on the gallery preview route, whitelisted to 640/1280/1920.
A whitelist rather than a free-form width because every distinct value
is a permanent rendition on disk — an open parameter is an invitation to
fill the volume. Unrecognised or absent values fall through to the
canonical 1920 preview, so old clients and hand-typed URLs behave
exactly as today.

Extra tiers are cache, not state: ensurePreviewImageAtWidth keys them by
width, looks them up in storage and generates on miss, and never writes
photos.preview_path. That column owns the canonical rendition, and
threading a width through it would mean the last size anyone requested
silently becomes "the" preview. Requesting 1920 resolves to the existing
preview rather than a w1920 duplicate, so no install grows a second copy
of every preview it already has.

The tier is part of the ETag. Without it a client holding the 1920
rendition gets a 304 for its 640 request and renders the wrong size,
which is this feature inverted.

Frontend: the lightbox picks a tier from innerWidth x devicePixelRatio,
capped at DPR 3 — uncapped, a DPR-10 device asks for 3900px and lands
straight back on the desktop rendition. At the top tier the URL is left
byte-identical so existing caches and ETags stay valid and desktop sees
no change at all. saveData and a 2g/3g effectiveType drop one tier;
both are Chromium-only, so they are a bonus rather than the mechanism.

Grid thumbnails are NOT tiered here, deliberately. generateThumbnail
resolves its width from admin settings rather than an argument, so
tiering it is a separate change — and shipping a srcset whose candidates
the server ignores would be worse than shipping none: the browser would
take the "600w" candidate, receive the 300px image and upscale it, which
is the reported softness made slightly worse. That half of #1095 lands
separately.

* fix(gallery): scope tier keys per photo, size by long edge, clean up tiers

External review. Three findings against the tier work, one a
cross-gallery leak.

The tier cache key was the photo's BASENAME. Managed uploads keep camera
basenames, so two events can each hold an IMG_0001.jpg — and a tier is
served straight from a cache hit without re-reading the source, so the
second gallery gets the first gallery's photo. Keys are now scoped by
photo id for every source type. The RAW branch passed proc.outputBasename,
which would have dropped that scoping again; it now passes the scoped name.

Tier selection used viewport WIDTH, but ?w= bounds the LONG edge
(fit:'inside'). On a 390x844 phone at DPR 3 a 2:3 portrait is bound by
height and renders ~1755 device px, so width-only picked 1280 and made
portraits softer than today; landscape on the same phone needs ~1170. It
now computes the rendered long edge from the photo's own dimensions and
falls back to the top tier — today's behaviour — when they are unknown.

Tiers live outside photos.preview_path, so nothing else knew they
existed: delete, bulk-delete and archive left them orphaned in previews/
forever, and regenerate-previews refreshed only the canonical rendition
while phones kept the stale copy. previewTierKeys derives them from the
same deterministic scheme and all four paths clean up. Deliberately
outside the preview_path guard — a tier can exist when the canonical
rendition never did, so keying cleanup off preview_path would strand
precisely the photos only ever viewed on a phone.

The existing tier tests encoded the old width-only semantics and were
updated rather than kept; that is a behaviour change, not a test fix.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 0b886ed942 fix(faces): defer on unreachable storage, and commit the import path first (#1097)
* fix(faces): defer on unreachable storage, and commit the import path first

The two follow-ups left open by #1091, both consequences of external
photos becoming scannable at all.

**A dropped mount no longer burns the gallery.** ensurePreviewImage
returns null for "this JPEG is corrupt" and "the NFS share is gone"
alike, and faceProcessor marked both 'failed'. Nothing re-queues a
failure automatically and the queue only ever claims 'pending', so a
mount that blinked mid-scan cost the whole event a manual Re-scan —
on external libraries, where network storage drops far more often than
local disk, that is the common case rather than the corner one.

faceProcessor now probes the containing DIRECTORY before failing, and
throws TransientSourceError when it cannot be reached; faceQueue treats
that exactly like SidecarUnavailableError — release to pending, back
off, retry — with the warning rate-limited to one per five minutes,
since an outage hits every photo in the event.

The directory rather than the file is the whole point: a missing file
inside a healthy directory is a broken photo and should still fail, and
it still does. Anything that goes wrong deciding which case it is falls
through to 'failed', because guessing 'transient' on an unknown
condition would retry forever.

**The import commits its path before inserting rows.** enqueueEvent
accepts processing_status NULL (faceProcessor.js:243-246), which these
inserts leave unset, so an admin hitting the toggle or Re-scan during a
long import could queue partial rows while the event still resolved
against the old directory — and burn them to 'failed'.

Moving events.external_path ahead of the loop closes that, and fixes a
pre-existing bug on the same line: an import that died at photo 500 of
1000 used to leave those 500 rows pointing into the new tree while the
event still resolved against the old one, making every one of them
unreadable. Safe to do first because the path is already validated
above, and existing photos are unaffected — photo.source_origin takes
precedence over event.source_mode in both resolvers and is NOT NULL
defaulting to 'managed'.

The #1090 test that asserted a missing source fails needed its setup
corrected rather than its intent: it created no directory at all, which
is now (correctly) a dropped mount. It now creates one, so it tests the
case it always meant to — healthy storage, dead photo.

Verified both fixes discriminate: removing the probe fails the defer
test, and moving the event update back after the loop fails the
ordering test. Face suite 59 passed across 8 suites; the full backend
suite fails the same 10 pre-existing suites as unmodified main, no more.

* fix(faces): stop a dead mount stalling the whole queue

External review, and the first finding is one my own change created.

Deferring by returning the row to 'pending' was a trap: claimNextPhoto
orders by id ascending and the queue defaults to a single worker, so the
same unreachable row becomes the oldest pending one after every backoff
and the worker never reaches a higher id. One dead mount would have
stalled face scanning for the entire install — unrelated events, fresh
uploads, everything. Strictly worse than the permanent 'failed' this set
out to replace.

The row is now left parked in 'processing' with face_started_at intact.
It is not claimable, so the worker moves straight on; the janitor that
already exists returns it to 'pending' past STUCK_TIMEOUT_MS, which is
the retry. No new column and no new timer. The sidecar branch still
releases, because a down sidecar blocks every photo anyway — there is no
other work to get on with.

Second: probing existence was not enough. Unmounting an NFS or SMB share
usually leaves the mountpoint behind as an ordinary empty directory, so
fs.access succeeded on storage that was entirely gone and the photo was
failed anyway — the exact case this was written for. An empty directory
where the photo should live now counts as unreachable. The trade is
deliberate and documented: a directory an admin genuinely emptied is
retried rather than failed, which now costs one attempt per janitor
sweep and nothing else.

Third: a comment in adminExternalMedia claimed source_origin isolates
existing photos from the early external_path update. That is true of
managed rows and false of external ones — resolveExternalPath prefixes
every external row with event.external_path, so importing folder B into
an event referencing folder A rebases the A rows. Pre-existing rather
than introduced here (the update always did this, just later), but the
comment asserted otherwise, so it now says what actually happens and
names the underlying single-base-path limitation.

The deferral test initially passed against the blocking version too —
database state alone cannot tell the fix from the bug. It now inspects
the branch directly, the way the #596 contract tests do, and fails when
releaseToPending is put back or the two branches are merged.

* fix(faces): back off per event, and stop clobbering concurrent scans

Round two of external review.

Parking a row in 'processing' fixed the head-of-line block but not the
cost: every janitor sweep handed the whole dead gallery back, and the
worker walked all of it again — one stat per photo against storage that
may be hard-mounted and slow to time out — before reaching any healthy
event. Every one of those attempts also went through
generatePreviewImage first, which logs an error per photo, so a down
mount produced a recurring flood that the rate-limited warning did
nothing about.

So the backoff is now per EVENT and separate from the janitor:
TransientSourceError carries the event id, the queue records a cooldown,
and claimNextPhoto excludes those events while it lasts. The janitor
keeps doing its own job, which is rescuing rows a crashed worker
abandoned. Cooldown is in memory on purpose — a restart is usually what
follows fixing a mount, so it should retry at once.

Second: committing the event path before the loop means a toggle or
Re-scan firing mid-import can now genuinely queue and finish some of
those rows. The final bulk update was unconditional, so it dragged
'done' rows back to 'pending' for a duplicate sidecar scan and knocked
'processing' rows out from under the worker. It is now whereNull —
only rows nothing has touched are ours to queue.

Also corrected a comment of mine that had gone stale in the same file:
it still described the enqueue as happening after the event path was
written "below", which stopped being true when that update moved above
the loop.

* fix(faces): judge the mount, the path and the file separately

Round three of external review. The probe was too coarse in both
directions.

It read any ENOENT on the photo's own directory as a mount-wide outage,
so a deleted or renamed subfolder — individual/ gone while collages/ is
healthy — deferred the entire event and starved every sibling folder,
renewing the cooldown on each retry. It now judges the EVENT ROOT for
that verdict: root missing, or present-but-empty, is an outage; anything
below a populated root is a broken path and fails.

And it read a listable directory as proof the photo was at fault, so
EACCES on a reconnected share, EIO, or the classic NFS ESTALE handle
were burnt as permanent failures. Only ENOENT now means genuinely gone;
any other error opening the file defers.

The event-wide backoff was also too broad. A reference event can hold
managed uploads alongside imported external ones, and those live in
local storage that is fine — excluding the whole event id left them
unscanned for as long as external rows kept renewing the cooldown, which
during a real outage is indefinitely. The exclusion is now scoped to
external and reference rows.

One of my own tests had modelled the unmount wrongly: it emptied the
photo's subdirectory rather than the event root, which under the
corrected logic is a populated mount with a missing folder — a failure,
not an outage. It now empties the root, which is what an unmount
actually leaves behind.

Dropped the path require the first version of this probe needed; the
event-root form does not.

All three fixes mutation-checked: reverting each one fails the test
written for it. Face suite 69 passed across 9 suites; full backend suite
fails the same 10 pre-existing suites as main, no more.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 576924fa57 fix(faces): scan external/reference photos instead of skipping them (#1090) (#1091)
* fix(faces): scan external/reference photos instead of skipping them (#1090)

faceProcessor short-circuited every photo with source_origin 'external'
or 'reference' straight to 'skipped', before the sidecar was ever
contacted. On an external-media install that is the entire library — the
reporter's gallery sat at 0/3230 with every row skipped and no error, and
a rescan changed nothing.

The guard was correct when written: resolvePhotoStorageKey returns null
for anything outside managed storage, so ensurePreviewImage could not
build a preview and there was nothing to send. #1078 removed that
limitation one release earlier — ensurePreviewImage now reads externals
straight off the mount via resolvePhotoFilePath and writes the preview
into managed storage, so the key faceProcessor already fetches through
getStorage() is readable like any other. The guard outlived its reason.

Photos whose source is genuinely gone still return a null preview key
and land in the existing 'failed' branch, which is the honest outcome:
that is a broken photo, not an unsupported one. The blanket skip was
absorbing those too.

No migration or manual reset needed — enqueueEvent already re-queues
rows with face_status in (NULL, 'failed', 'skipped'), so previously
skipped photos get picked up on the next scan.

* fix(faces): queue external imports for scanning (#1090)

The other half of the same bug, found by external review — and my first
counter-argument against it was wrong.

Managed uploads are enqueued by photoProcessor, which writes face_status
'pending' once a photo is processed (photoProcessor.js:573, commented as
"the only correct place to enqueue"). External media never goes through
photoProcessor at all: adminExternalMedia inserts rows directly, leaving
face_status NULL.

faceQueue.claimNextPhoto only claims 'pending' (faceQueue.js:64), so an
import into an already-enabled event produced nothing until someone
pressed Re-scan. Lifting the skip guard alone made external photos
scannable but still not scanned — which looks like a complete fix right
up until you import a photo.

Resolved once per import rather than per file, since it is a per-event
setting and the loop can run to a thousand files, and guarded on both
the global flag and the per-event toggle exactly as photoProcessor
guards it, so installs without the feature still never write a
face_status. A failure to read the setting logs and imports anyway — the
photos are the point.

No video guard: walkDir only collects jpg/jpeg/png/webp, so nothing
faceProcessor would skip as video can arrive through this route.

* fix(faces): enqueue imports only after the event path is written

External review caught a race I introduced in the previous commit.

Marking rows 'pending' as they were inserted published claimable work
while events.external_path still held the old value — or none at all, on
a first import, since the route only writes it after the entire
thumbnail loop. The face worker polls continuously, so on any import
long enough to matter (the loop is ~100-300ms per photo, and the
reporter's library is 6500+) it would claim those rows, resolve them
against the wrong directory and mark them permanently 'failed' — a state
only an explicit Re-scan clears. That is strictly worse than the
unscanned photos this set out to fix.

Ids are now collected during the loop and marked pending in one pass
after the event path is written, chunked at 500 because SQLite caps a
statement at 999 bound parameters.

The test now drives the real route instead of re-implementing its logic,
and observes the mid-loop state from inside the per-photo thumbnail
call — the only hook that can see the window the race lived in. Verified
it discriminates: deleting the enqueue fails two tests, and moving it
back onto the insert fails the ordering test specifically.

* fix(faces): read the face setting after the import, not before

Third external-review round. The setting was captured before a loop that
runs for many minutes on a large library, so an admin who enabled
detection during an import left every photo imported after that moment
at NULL forever — the toggle endpoint only queues rows that already
existed when it fired.

Ids are now collected unconditionally and the setting is evaluated
immediately before the queue update, off a freshly read event row. The
guard is unchanged in substance: both the global flag and the per-event
toggle, so installs without the feature still never write a face_status.

Test flips the toggle from inside the mocked per-photo thumbnail call,
which is the same mid-loop hook the ordering test uses.

* fix(preview): generate lightbox previews for external/reference photos (#1078)

ensurePreviewImage() resolved its source only via resolvePhotoStorageKey(),
which returns null for external/reference photos by design — those live on a
media mount outside the managed storage tree. The null went straight into
withLocalCopy(), which throws ("LocalFsStorage: invalid relative path: null"),
so the preview route fell back to redirecting at the full-size original. A
gallery whose photos are all external got no benefit from the preview tier
(#492) at all: guests paid 5-12 MB on every lightbox open, with nothing
surfaced in the admin UI.

Add the external branch ensureThumbnail() has had since #423: resolve via
resolvePhotoFilePath() and feed the mount path to generatePreviewImage()
directly, with an ext<id>_ output basename so two events referencing the same
NAS filename can't clobber each other's preview.

Also close the adjacent hole that made the failure a throw rather than the
documented null: a row with no source_origin in a reference-mode event takes
its mode from the event, so resolvePhotoStorageKey returns null for it too.
Return null instead of handing that to withLocalCopy.

* fix(preview): select the columns the external branch needs on bulk regenerate

POST /api/admin/thumbnails/regenerate-previews selected only id, event_id,
path, media_type, mime_type and preview_path, so photo.source_origin was
undefined by the time ensurePreviewImage branched on it. Every external row in
a reference gallery took the managed path, resolvePhotoStorageKey returned null
for it, and the endpoint reported success while generating nothing.

Add source_origin, external_relpath and filename to the select, plus a
source-inspection test pinning the caller contract and a service-level test
showing a column-starved row is indistinguishable from a managed one.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft b69dd134d0 feat(faces): People in this gallery — face recognition via an optional ML sidecar (#1074) (#1075)
* feat(ml): optional face-detection sidecar, opt-in and inert by default (#1074)

First of four PRs for "People in this gallery". This one ships only the
sidecar, its wiring and its CI — no schema, no backend code, no UI. Nothing
in PicPeak calls it yet.

picpeak-ml is a single FastAPI + onnxruntime container: three endpoints
(/health, /info, /faces), no database, no volumes, no egress, no model
download at runtime. Clustering, person identity and every privacy decision
stay in the backend where the data already lives.

Models are YuNet (detection) + FaceNet-512 (embedding), both MIT, both
pinned by URL and SHA-256 and verified at build time. The licence analysis
is in ml/LICENSES.md: the more accurate InsightFace weights are
non-commercial-only and PicPeak's users are working photographers, so they
are never baked into an image we publish.

Two things worth review attention:

- Alignment uses a least-squares similarity transform (Umeyama), NOT
  cv2.estimateAffinePartial2D. RANSAC and LMEDS exist to reject outliers
  among many correspondences; given five landmarks and no outliers they fit
  a three-point subset exactly and let the rest drift. Measured on a real
  off-frontal portrait: eyes and nose pinned to 0.11px, mouth corners
  11.8px out on a 160px crop. Umeyama distributes it (max 6.5px, rms 5.1 vs
  7.4). The failure mode is silent — a bad warp still yields 512 confident
  floats — so tests/test_pipeline.py pins it numerically.

- FACENET_ONNX_URL has no default and the build fails loudly without it.
  deepface distributes FaceNet-512 as Keras .h5 only, so the ONNX is
  produced once by tools/convert_facenet.py and published as a release
  asset. Converting inside the build would drag TensorFlow through both
  architecture legs of every build to produce a byte-identical file. The CI
  jobs are gated on the FACENET_ONNX_URL repository variable and skip
  cleanly until it is set.

Off by default, twice over: the sidecar is behind the `faces` compose
profile, and the backend will gate on a `faces` feature flag that defaults
to false. FACE_ML_URL defaults to http://picpeak-ml:8000 so the standard
deployment needs no configuration — nothing dials that host while the flag
is off, which is why a non-resolving default is harmless.

Verified: 27 pytest tests green; YuNet loads and detects against a real
portrait with its landmark order matching the alignment template
index-for-index; both compose files validate and the faces profile is
correctly excluded from a default `up`; workflow YAML parses and the job
graph resolves.

* fix(ml): pin the converter toolchain, verify parity, drop a false reproducibility claim (#1074)

Ran the FaceNet-512 conversion for real and corrected what the previous
commit assumed about it.

The conversion works: 23,497,424 parameters, 89.6 MB ONNX, and the converted
graph matches the Keras original to 2.086e-06 absolute / cosine
1.0000000000. That check is now part of the script rather than something I
did once by hand — a subtly wrong graph still returns 512 plausible floats,
so it refuses to leave the file on disk if parity fails.

Also ran the full pipeline against both real models end to end. The
embedding is L2-normalized to 1.000000, and the same face survives being
re-rendered: half scale 0.973, double scale 0.984, JPEG q40 0.987, rotated
8 degrees 0.984, brightness +40 0.988. Scale invariance in particular is
evidence the alignment warp is doing its job.

Corrected claim: the conversion is NOT byte-reproducible. Two runs with the
same pinned versions on the same machine gave different SHA-256s. The graphs
are functionally identical — same 336 nodes, same 271 initializers, every
weight matching to 0.000e+00 — but a few initializer names differ because
tf2onnx's traced-op naming is not deterministic (Keras layer naming is
deterministic; I checked). The previous commit message and README both
claimed byte-identical output. They were wrong, and it matters: anyone
re-running the conversion gets a different hash, and without this note that
reads like tampering. The build-time SHA-256 pins one published artifact so
its URL cannot start serving different bytes; validating a fresh conversion
is the parity check's job.

requirements-convert.txt now pins the exact set that produced the artifact,
including transitive keras/protobuf/numpy, and documents that the converter
needs Python 3.11 while the image runs 3.12.

* feat(faces): schema, queue, clustering and API for People in this gallery (#1074)

Backend half of the feature. Migration 177, a face-detection queue, the
clustering engine, the gallery and admin APIs, and the privacy wiring. No UI
yet; nothing is reachable until the `faces` feature flag is on, which
defaults to false.

The flag is the gate, not FACE_ML_URL. That variable now has a working
default (the compose service name), so its presence proves nothing about
intent — if it were the gate, every install would poll a hostname that does
not resolve. faceQueue re-checks the flag every tick, so turning it off stops
the workers without a restart.

Visibility scoping is the part worth reviewing closely. Face rows have no
concept of photo visibility, but guests are restricted to
photos.visibility='visible'. A raw count leaks how many hidden photos someone
appears in, and an unscoped cover face renders a crop of a photo the guest
may not open — with the best-scoring face being the likeliest pick, so it
would happen often rather than rarely. facePeopleService recomputes both per
request against the caller's own scope, and event_people.face_count_total is
named to be conspicuous in a guest path. Six tests cover it, including the
case where a person's photos are ALL hidden and they must vanish entirely.

Face data is excluded from backups and .picpeak exports, per the decision in
the thread: it is derived, so a restore re-scans rather than carrying
biometrics between operators. Three separate mechanisms, because the engines
cannot be filtered alike — EXCLUDED_TABLES for export, --exclude-table-data
(not --exclude-table; the CREATE TABLE must survive or restore breaks on the
first query) for Postgres, and DELETE + VACUUM on the temp copy for SQLite,
which has no way to exclude a table from a whole-file .backup. The VACUUM is
not cosmetic: without it the pages stay in the file and the claim is false on
disk.

Archiving now purges face data explicitly. photo_faces cascades off photos,
but archive deletes neither the photo rows nor the event, so without this an
archived gallery kept its biometrics indefinitely.

Other decisions: clustering keeps names across a re-cluster by majority
inheritance (without it, one button click silently discards every name the
photographer typed); consolidation refuses to merge two people who were named
differently; assignment never compares across model_version, since embeddings
from two pipelines are not comparable; low-quality faces are stored but left
unassigned so they show in "this photo contains" without spawning junk people.

Migration is 177, not 174 — 174/175/176 landed on main while this branch was
open.

29 tests green: 7 migration (idempotency, down(), cascade, and that
installing it enqueues NOTHING), 11 clustering, 11 privacy/visibility. Lint
clean; the pre-existing error counts in databaseBackup.js and server.js are
unchanged.

* feat(faces): People strip, face filter and admin controls (#1074)

Frontend half. Renders nothing anywhere unless the `faces` feature flag is
on AND the photographer enabled detection for the gallery — the whole guest
surface hangs off one boolean, event.people_enabled, which the server
computes from the flag, the per-event toggle and the show-to-guests toggle
together.

Guest side: a People strip between the filter bar and the grid, circular
crops from each person's cover face, an active-filter chip row, and a "Show
all" bottom sheet. The face filter composes with category, search, media
type and the liked/saved/rated filters in the same useMemo rather than
replacing them, so "photos of Anna that I liked" works. Two people selected
means AND by default — that is what picking a second face almost always
asks for — with a toggle to OR that appears only once a second person is
picked.

Unnamed people show a photo count and never "Person 7". A number is honest
about what the system knows; an invented name is not. There is a test
asserting we don't do it.

The strip renders nothing below two people, collapses to one line when
dismissed (persisted per slug, so dismissing one gallery says nothing about
the next), and appears mid-backfill with a progress line rather than
blocking the gallery behind a spinner. Avatar crops are computed in ratios
of the source dimensions so they survive whatever rendition the browser
gets; without width/height they fall back to an uncropped thumbnail, since
a wrongly-offset crop is worse than no crop.

No new download endpoint: "download these N" rides the existing photoIds
path, which already enforces access level and per-category permissions
server-side. Adding a person_id selector would have been a second thing to
authorize for no gain.

Guest-facing copy never says "biometric" or "recognition" — those words
describe our implementation, not the guest's experience. The sheet's
footnote answers the first question every guest has (where does this go?)
inline. The admin card, by contrast, is explicit: it states the controller
obligation next to the toggle, and warns that scanning materializes the
preview tier on galleries that never generated one, which is real CPU and
disk an admin should know about before a 2,000-photo backfill.

EN + DE translations. 140 frontend tests green (8 new), tsc and eslint clean.

* fix(faces): measured match threshold, working build defaults, 89MB smaller image (#1074)

Ran the Phase 0 spike that had been outstanding, published the model, and
fixed what both turned up.

THRESHOLD IS NOW MEASURED, NOT GUESSED. LFW's standard 1000-pair protocol
run through this exact pipeline (YuNet -> Umeyama alignment -> FaceNet-512
ONNX), 100% detection on 2000 images:

  same person  cosine 0.6958 +/- 0.1415
  diff person  cosine 0.0849 +/- 0.1674   separation 0.6109
  peak accuracy 96.60% @ 0.405

So the pipeline separates people well — the thing I could not previously
claim, since every earlier number was the same face re-rendered.

Default moves 0.62 -> 0.50. The old value was a placeholder and a bad one:
it gave 0% false merges but 22.4% false splits, i.e. roughly one in four
same-person pairs failing to join, which fragments a gallery badly. 0.50
gives 1.0% false merge / 8.2% false split. Peak accuracy (0.405) is
deliberately NOT chosen: for clustering the two errors do not cost the same.
A false split is a duplicate row the photographer can merge away; a false
merge puts a stranger into someone's "download my photos" — and until the
Phase 2 merge/split UI ships, there is no way to undo one. So this sits on
the conservative side of the optimum.

The spike is committed as ml/tools/benchmark_threshold.py rather than
thrown away, so "why 0.50?" has an answer in six months and a re-tune is one
command.

BUILD DEFAULTS. FACENET_ONNX_URL/_SHA256 now default to the published
ml-models-v1 release asset, so `docker build ml/` and
`docker compose --profile faces up` work with no arguments. Blanking either
still fails loudly — a URL without a checksum is never acceptable, since the
checksum is what makes the URL safe to trust. Found by running compose for
real: it failed exactly as designed, which was correct behaviour and a bad
out-of-box experience now that a canonical artifact exists.

IMAGE SIZE. 389MB -> 300MB single-arch. `chown -R` after COPY rewrote every
copied file into a fresh layer, duplicating the 90MB model for nothing; the
user is now created before the copies and ownership set via COPY --chown.
Also drops pip/setuptools from the runtime image. Measured RSS is 186MiB
idle, and the container answers /faces end-to-end in well under the
80-150ms/photo the issue budgeted.

* fix(faces): threshold 0.50 -> 0.60 from real clustering, theme-aware People strip (#1074)

Both fixes come from running the feature on an actual gallery — 61 photos,
5 real identities — rather than reasoning about it.

THRESHOLD. The LFW pairwise sweep in the previous commit said 0.50, and it
was wrong. On a real gallery at 0.50, three of six visible clusters were
contaminated: two different people merged into one strip entry, which is the
exact failure that puts a stranger into someone's "download my photos".

Pairwise error rates do not predict cluster purity. Greedy assignment
compounds — one wrong face drags the centroid toward the midpoint between two
identities, making the next wrong face likelier. A 1% pairwise false-merge
rate is not a 1% chance of a clean gallery, and no amount of staring at an
ROC curve would have shown that.

Sweep against ground truth (5 identities):

    0.50 -> 6 clusters, 3 contaminated
    0.56 -> 6 clusters, 0 contaminated
    0.60 -> 5 clusters, 0 contaminated   <- exactly right
    0.64 -> 5 clusters, 0 contaminated, fewer faces assigned

0.60 recovers the right number of people with no contamination; higher only
loses coverage. Migration 177 carries the full reasoning so the next person
to touch this knows why the obvious pairwise answer is the wrong one.

THEME. The People strip hardcoded `text-neutral-800` for named people. On a
dark gallery — which the screenshot immediately showed — that renders a
named person's label almost invisibly, while UNNAMED people stayed legible.
Exactly backwards. Labels, headings, the collapsed summary, the scan line
and the filter chip row now read the gallery's own theme tokens
(--color-text / --color-muted-text / --color-accent / --color-surface-border)
like the rest of the gallery surface.

* feat(faces): complete Phase 1, add People management and auto-categories (#1074)

Closes the two Phase 1 gaps, then builds Phase 2 and Phase 3.

PHASE 1 GAPS. "Download these N" was specified, described as done in an
earlier summary, and never actually built — I had verified the backend needed
no new endpoint and let that stand as if the button existed. It now hands the
filtered photo ids to the same path as a manual selection, so the server
re-applies access level and per-category permissions on the way through.
Photos in a downloads-disabled category are excluded client-side too, so the
number on the button is the number the guest receives. Hidden entirely when
downloads are off for the gallery.

Lightbox person chips ("In this photo: Anna") are the second way into the
face filter — a guest looking at a photo of themselves can act on it without
scrolling back to the strip. Tapping one closes the lightbox and filters the
grid behind it.

PHASE 2. A People management modal over the endpoints that already existed
and were already tested: rename inline, merge (multi-select, first pick is
the target so the name a photographer typed survives), split via a face
picker, hide, ignore. This matters more than it sounds — clustering
deliberately errs toward splitting because a wrong merge puts a stranger into
someone's download, and that trade only works if merging is easy.

PHASE 3. Rule engine over face_count plus face-area ratio: 0 -> Details,
1 large -> Portraits, 2-5 -> Small groups, >5 -> Groups. The area ratio is
what separates "a portrait of someone" from "someone is in this landscape".
Three guarantees, all tested: it only ever fills an EMPTY category (enforced
in the query AND re-checked in the UPDATE, so a photographer setting one
mid-run still wins), everything it touches is marked auto_categorized so undo
is exact, and it is a no-op unless separately enabled. Migration 178 adds the
column — separate from 177, which has already run wherever this branch is
deployed.

Verified on the real gallery: 61 photos -> 48 portraits + 13 small groups,
undo cleared exactly 61 and left the manual ones alone. Merge moved faces and
removed the source. Both confirmed against the database, not just the UI.

TWO BUGS THE BROWSER CAUGHT, both invisible to tsc:

- The lightbox destructure never landed — my patch targeted a line that has a
  default value, matched nothing, and failed silently. `people` resolved to
  something else entirely and the chips would never have rendered. eslint's
  "outer scope value" warning is what surfaced it.

- Admin face thumbnails 403'd because <AuthenticatedImage> attaches whatever
  gallery token is in session storage; an admin who has also opened one of
  their own galleries sends a type:"gallery" bearer to an admin route. Admin
  routes authenticate from the httpOnly cookie, which a plain same-origin
  <img> sends by itself. Worth noting AdminPhotoGrid has the same latent
  shape; not touched here.

Also: the admin card now reports "N people (M shown to guests)" when those
differ, so the settings page and the gallery stop disagreeing without
explanation.

45 backend tests (8 new) and 140 frontend tests green; tsc and eslint clean.
EN + DE for every new string.

* perf(faces): batch migration DDL and drop the face stack from server.js import (#1074)

CI's backend job timed out at 10 minutes on the first run of this branch.
Nothing failed — 132 of 182 suites passed and the wall clock ran out. Main
does the same 182 in 124s, and where main has 12 suites slow enough for jest
to print a duration, this branch had 77.

Two changes, both worth making regardless of how much of the gap they close:

- Migration 177 added its columns one ALTER TABLE at a time (four on photos,
  three on events, plus a separate index statement) and seeded settings with
  a SELECT and an INSERT per key. It now uses one alterTable per table and
  one SELECT plus one bulk INSERT. 178 folds its index into the same
  statement as its column. That chain replays in ~90 suites, so statement
  count there is multiplied by 90.

- server.js required faceQueue at module scope, which pulls in axios and —
  through imageProcessor — sharp. Every supertest suite that imports
  server.js was paying for a module graph it never uses. Now required inside
  the startup block, next to the call that needs it.

Honest about the evidence: locally the migration delta measures at zero
(1.15s vs 1.13s for the same suite, three runs each), so batching alone does
not explain an eight-minute regression. A fast local disk and many cores mask
per-statement and per-import costs that a two-core runner with a shared disk
does not. These are the two real costs this branch added to a path that runs
in almost every suite; whether they are sufficient is a question for CI, not
for another round of local speculation.

37 face tests still green after the change.

* i18n(faces): complete EN and DE coverage for the face feature (#1074)

The admin card and the Features toggle were rendering entirely from inline
English `defaultValue` fallbacks — 22 keys existed in no locale file at all,
so a German admin saw an English consent notice, English toggles and English
buttons. The gallery side was already translated; the admin side was not,
and nothing in the toolchain flags this because a `defaultValue` always
renders something.

Adds the missing `admin.faces.*` (19), `settings.features.faces.*` (2) and
shared `common.clear/saved/saveFailed` in both languages. Existing keys are
left alone (setdefault, not overwrite), so the shared `common` strings other
features rely on are untouched.

Committed the audit as frontend/scripts/i18n-faces-audit.py rather than
throwing it away: it extracts every t() key the face components actually use
and diffs it against each locale, and it also reports German values that are
byte-identical to English, which is the usual shape of an untranslated
copy-paste. Currently: 69 keys in use, EN complete, DE complete, no
identical pairs.

Verified in the browser, not just in the JSON — the German card reads
"61 / 61 Fotos durchsucht · 16 Personen (5 für Gäste sichtbar)" end to end.
Also checked the components for hardcoded user-facing text (JSX nodes,
title/aria-label/placeholder attributes) outside t(); there is none.

* fix(faces): 13 defects from external review — coordinates, counts, erasure, races (#1074)

Codex reviewed the branch against main. Thirteen findings, nine P1. I checked
every one against the code and could not dismiss a single one as a false
positive, so all thirteen are fixed here.

THE WORST ONE: bounding boxes were stored in the wrong coordinate system.
The sidecar reports coordinates in the space of the image it was HANDED —
which is the ≤1920px preview, not the original — while every consumer
compares them against photos.width/height, the original dimensions. A 6000px
photo therefore produced boxes ~3x too small and areas ~9x too small: avatar
crops landed in the wrong place and the Portraits rule could never fire. It
is invisible on any photo already under 1920px, which is exactly why the
demo gallery and every screenshot looked correct. Now scaled once in
faceProcessor so everything downstream can assume original-image coordinates.

ERASURE. The FK cascade on photo_faces is decorative on SQLite: PicPeak never
enables `PRAGMA foreign_keys`, so deleting a photo left its embeddings
behind. I first enabled the pragma globally and reverted it — six unrelated
suites immediately failed on pre-existing dangling references, and switching
it on would start rejecting inserts on every existing install. That is a real
change worth making, but it is its own PR, not a rider on this one. Instead
deletion purges explicitly: purgePhotoFaces in the photo paths (single, bulk,
service) and photo_faces/event_people in deleteEventCascade. Tests assert
this with the pragma explicitly OFF, so they can only pass if the code does
the work.

COUNTS. A re-scan deleted the old face rows without undoing their
contribution to event_people, so counts inflated on every re-scan and ghost
people survived. Now the affected people are recomputed before the
replacements are assigned. My own "must not double its faces" test only
checked photo_faces rows, which is why it passed throughout.

RACES. A worker that finished after an admin purged the event committed its
rows anyway — erasure reported success and the data reappeared. The commit is
now conditional on the row still being 'processing'. And assignFaces is
read-modify-write over an event's people, so two workers lost each other's
updates; it is now serialised per event with an in-process mutex plus a
Postgres advisory lock for the multi-pod case the queue advertises.

METADATA LOSS. Merging discarded the source's name and suppression flags, so
a merge could erase a typed name or un-hide someone. Reclustering remembered
only people with a label, so an unnamed-but-hidden bystander came back
guest-visible after one "Re-group people" — and suppression now propagates to
every descendant cluster, not just the majority one.

Also: export reset face_status so a restored gallery re-scans instead of
claiming to be scanned forever; manual category edits clear auto_categorized
so "undo automatic" cannot delete a photographer's own choice; external
photos are skipped rather than failed (resolvePhotoStorageKey returns null
for them by design); the gallery refetches photo memberships as a scan
progresses so filtering is not stale; a failed VACUUM now fails the backup
rather than publishing one that may retain biometric pages; and the ML
Dockerfile's `|| true` is scoped to the uninstall — as written it was
`(install && uninstall) || true`, so a failed dependency install produced a
green layer and an image with no onnxruntime.

Four new regression tests. Full backend suite failure set verified identical
to origin/main; frontend 140 green; tsc and eslint clean.

* fix(faces): 12 more defects from review round 2 — cross-event purge, leaks, lifecycle (#1074)

Second Codex round on the same diff, now including round 1's fixes. Twelve
findings, seven P1. Again none were false positives.

SECURITY, AND MINE FROM ROUND 1: the bulk-delete face purge iterated the raw
`photoIds` from the request instead of the event-scoped `photos` rows the
handler had already validated. purgePhotoFaces has no event scope of its own,
so an editor could pass another gallery's photo id and delete its face data —
even though the photo deletion right below it was correctly scoped. Fixing
one thing and introducing another is exactly why the second round was worth
running.

ANOTHER VISIBILITY LEAK, same class as the one round 1 fixed: /people returns
scan progress, and getScanStatus counted every photo with a face_status —
including hidden ones. Guests could read the hidden-photo count off the
progress bar while the people list and covers beside it were properly scoped.
Now scoped by the same predicate, with the caller passing its audience.

RECLUSTER, ROUND 1'S FIX WAS INCOMPLETE. I made suppression follow every
descendant but still copied the flags from the majority ANCESTOR. When
reclustering merges a visible named person with a hidden one, the majority
ancestor is often the visible one — republishing the hidden person's photos.
Suppression is now OR-ed across every ancestor contributing faces. The name
also now goes to the genuine largest descendant; the previous code took
whichever cluster came first in map order, which the comment already claimed
it did not.

LIFECYCLE. Face data is excluded from backups and exports, but photos.
face_status came across intact, so a restored install claimed every photo was
scanned while holding no faces — and the worker only claims 'pending', so it
stayed that way forever. Now: the SQLite backup requeues in the dump, restore
requeues after the pool reinit (the Postgres path cannot rewrite rows inside
pg_dump), the portable importer purges LOCAL face tables (they were excluded
from the replace list, so another instance's embeddings survived an import
with FK checks suspended) and requeues, and archiving disables detection so a
restored archive is honestly off rather than enabled-and-empty.

WRITE PATHS. Only processPhoto enqueued. The synchronous upload path
(chunked-upload completion, watch-folder) left photos unscanned, and
replacePhoto kept the OLD image's faces on a row now pointing at a different
picture — stale identities shown on the new photo.

FRONTEND. PeopleSheet and the admin manager rendered centred thumbnails and
ignored the bbox, so on group photos the avatar showed whoever stood in the
middle and two people from one photo were indistinguishable — in the manager
whose entire job is telling faces apart. The crop maths is now one shared
helper (faceCrop.ts) so the three surfaces cannot drift again. Full-page
layouts (gallery-premium, gallery-story) render their own lightbox and never
received the people props.

Backend failure set verified identical to origin/main; frontend 140 green;
tsc and eslint clean.

* fix(faces): round 3 — five of round 2's fixes were wrong or no-ops (#1074)

Third and final Codex round. Eight findings, four P1 — and the important part
is that FIVE of them are defects in round 2's fixes, not in the original code.

- The sync-upload enqueue I added was a silent no-op. It queried through
  `trx` after the transaction had already been committed, which throws
  "Transaction query already complete" straight into the catch I had wrapped
  it in. Chunked uploads and watch-folder imports were still never scanned,
  and the code read as though they were. Uses `db` now.

- The post-restore requeue ran BEFORE the files were restored, in both the
  portable importer and the native restore. The face worker is live during a
  restore, so it could claim those rows and scan the previous instance's
  files, or fail them for originals not yet on disk — with nothing to requeue
  them afterwards. Both now run after file restoration; the native one is
  extracted into requeueFaceScans() and called from the full and
  database-only paths.

- The admin face crop mixed coordinate spaces: an original-pixel bbox scaled
  against the THUMBNAIL's natural size. The API now returns the source
  dimensions alongside the box, so there is one space to reason about.

- Forwarding people props through layoutProps did not make them work — the
  full-page layouts never destructured them. GalleryStoryLayout now threads
  them to its own lightbox.

Genuinely new findings, all in the same class as ones already fixed:

- releaseToPending updated unconditionally, so a photo purged while its
  sidecar request was in flight came back as 'pending' and was rescanned —
  biometric rows reappearing after the purge reported success. Round 2 fixed
  exactly this on the COMMIT path and I did not carry it to the retry path.
  Now guarded on 'processing'.

- purgePhotoFaces left face_status alone, so a worker mid-scan still
  satisfied its commit guard and could write fresh faces into a photo being
  deleted — orphans, since the FK cascade is inert on SQLite. It now clears
  the claim as part of the purge.

- Phase 3 was unreachable: the migration seeds face_auto_categorize_enabled
  false and nothing could ever write it, so the rule engine and its undo
  endpoint returned "disabled" in every real flow. Added GET/PUT and a toggle
  on the admin card, EN + DE.

NOT fixed, deliberately: GalleryPremiumLayout uses yet-another-react-lightbox
rather than the shared PhotoLightbox, so person chips there are a real port
rather than a prop forward. Recorded as open rather than bodged.

Backend failure set identical to origin/main; 41 face tests and 140 frontend
tests green; i18n audit reports EN and DE complete at 71 keys.

* feat(faces): block face recognition on the all-in-one image (#1074, #1042)

The single-container image cannot run this feature, so it is refused there
rather than left to degrade.

WHY, since the reason is not obvious from the code: the AIO image runs the
backend, the frontend, SQLite and every background worker inside one
container aimed at "one photographer plus guests browsing". It has no Redis,
SQLite gives it a single writer, and it contains no ML sidecar to talk to.
Face detection would add a second image-processing pipeline competing with
Sharp for the same CPU and memory. That failure is not loud — the install
just becomes slow and looks broken, which is the worst possible shape for a
deployment whose whole promise is one container and no decisions.

Gated on an explicit PICPEAK_SINGLE_CONTAINER marker, NOT inferred from
SERVE_FRONTEND or a SQLite path: plenty of legitimate multi-container setups
serve the frontend from the backend or run SQLite, and none of them should
lose the feature by accident.

Three layers, because the first is the only one that enforces:

- faceSettings.isFeatureEnabled() returns false before consulting the flag,
  so a database restored from a full deployment with `faces` enabled still
  cannot switch it on here.
- The feature-flag API forces `faces: false` in both directions, so the admin
  UI reflects reality instead of offering a switch that refuses to stay on.
- The Features tab renders the card disabled with a plain-language reason,
  read from a new `single_container` field on /admin/system/version (an
  endpoint the admin UI already calls).

Documented in ml/README.md and .env.example. Three tests pin the behaviour,
including that the marker only accepts explicit truthy values.

NOTE FOR PR #1068: this expects `Dockerfile.aio` to set
`ENV PICPEAK_SINGLE_CONTAINER=true`. That one line lives on that branch and
is not in this commit — until it lands, an AIO build would still offer the
feature. Worth adding alongside the `Limits` section of docs/single-container.md.

44 face tests green; EN + DE complete at 72 keys.

* test(faces): pin the bbox coordinate space with a real scale factor (#1074)

The coordinate-space bug — boxes stored in preview space while every consumer
reads them as original-image pixels — had no test, and could not have been
caught by the ones that existed: every photo in the demo gallery is 750px, so
the scale factor was always exactly 1.0 and the correction never executed.

Verified by hand first, on a real 4000x3000 upload with the face placed
off-centre so a wrong crop would be unmistakable. Before the fix the stored
box was 1493,204 (preview space, face actually at x≈2850-3618); after, 3110,426
— a factor of 2.083, exactly 4000/1920, landing inside the face. The admin
crop then resolved to left=-395px/top=-46px on a 64px window, which is the
face centred.

That verification is now a test rather than a memory. Three cases: a 4000px
photo must scale by 4000/1920, a 1920px photo must NOT change (the case that
hid the bug), and a row with no width must fall back to unscaled rather than
storing NaN.

Note for anyone extending these: jest hoists mock factories above the file,
so anything they close over has to be `mock`-prefixed. Getting that wrong
fails at transform time with a message that does not name the variable.

47 face tests green.

0874a30ac9 feat(docker): all-in-one image (#1042) — my version of #1067 (#1068)
* feat(docker): add all-in-one image — backend + frontend in one container (#1042)

One container, one Node process, SQLite by default: `docker run` with no
compose file, no nginx, no supervisor, no bundled Postgres/Redis.

- Dockerfile.aio (repo-root context): frontend build stage + backend deps
  stage + a runtime stage mirroring backend/Dockerfile's production stage,
  with the built SPA copied to /app/frontend/dist and SERVE_FRONTEND=true.
  DATABASE_CLIENT=sqlite3 and STORAGE_PATH=/app/storage are pinned
  explicitly — the storage fallback resolves to container-root /storage,
  which EACCESes after the su-exec drop.
- server.js: the SERVE_FRONTEND block now does what the nginx image did —
  renders ${BRAND_TITLE}/${BRAND_DESCRIPTION} into index.html once at boot,
  serves that rendered shell on /index.html and every SPA route, caches
  hashed /assets/* immutably while the shell revalidates, and gzips the
  bundle via compression() mounted after all /api routers. express.static
  now runs with index:false so `/` keeps flowing to handlePublicSiteRequest
  — its default index option was shadowing the landing page on native
  installs.
- wait-for-db.sh: skip the Postgres readiness wait when DATABASE_CLIENT is
  sqlite3. The engine resolver still runs, still logs, and still refuses
  the populated-both conflict (#1038).
- .dockerignore: **/node_modules, so the root-context build can't pick up
  host deps from backend/ or frontend/.
- docker-build.yml: build-aio / merge-aio follow the same per-arch build →
  digest-merge → per-version tag scheme as backend/frontend (GHCR only for
  now; the Docker Hub mirror is wired once the Hub repo exists), plus a
  smoke-aio job that boots the image on every PR and asserts /health, the
  SPA shell, the rendered brand title, immutable asset caching and the
  SQLite engine resolution.

Pointing DB_HOST/DB_USER/DB_PASSWORD + DATABASE_CLIENT=pg at an external
Postgres works exactly like the backend image.

* fix(ci): correct three smoke-aio assertions that would fail a green image (#1042)

Found by running the smoke job locally against a real build — the image
passed every behavioral check, but three assertions were wrong:

- `/` asserts 200, but handlePublicSiteRequest 302s to /admin/login while
  the public landing site is disabled, which is the state of the fresh
  install the smoke container always is. Assert the redirect target
  instead — that still proves express.static's index option is not
  shadowing the handler, which is the thing the check exists for.
- The placeholder-leak grep matched index.html's explanatory comment,
  which mentions BRAND_TITLE in prose and survives into the built shell.
  Match the literal ${BRAND_TITLE}/${BRAND_DESCRIPTION} tokens with -F,
  and cover the description token too.
- Add a gzip assertion, probing with GET: the compression middleware
  skips bodyless responses, so a HEAD probe reports no Content-Encoding
  even when compression is active.

Verified locally on linux/arm64: image builds clean, boots to healthy in
~8s on the SQLite default, and 25/25 checks pass (SPA shell, rendered
brand title, immutable+gzipped assets, no-store shell, SPA fallbacks,
npm removed, su-exec drop to nodejs, no errors in the boot log). The
DATABASE_CLIENT=pg override was exercised against a real Postgres too —
the readiness wait still runs and the engine resolves to postgres.

* fix(server): serve the SPA for every client route, not just /admin and /gallery (#1042)

nginx did `try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html`, so behind compose every
client-side route survived a direct hit or a refresh and the short
`['/admin', '/admin/*', '/gallery/*']` list was never exercised. Without
nginx that list is the whole contract, and everything outside it 404'd:

  /setup  /customer  /impressum  /datenschutz  /payment-check
  /quote/:token  /contract/:token  /invite/:token
  /transfer/:token  /transfer-upload/:token

/setup is the first URL a new install visits, so the all-in-one image was
unusable from a cold start.

The catch-all is registered after `app.use('/api', notFoundHandler)`, so
an unknown /api route still answers JSON instead of being handed the HTML
shell, and after the /s/:shortSlug resolver, so a typo'd short URL still
404s (#699). It is GET-only — a stray POST keeps 404ing rather than
getting a 200 page back. The handler is hoisted out of the
SERVE_FRONTEND block via `spaCatchAll` because that block runs before the
API 404 handler is registered.

Verified on the built image: all ten routes above now 200, /api/nope still
returns JSON 404, /s/nonexistent still returns 404, / still 302s to
/admin/login, and the smoke suite is 25/25. Both boundaries are now
asserted in the smoke-aio job.

* docs(readme): document the single-container install (#1042)

The README had no mention of the all-in-one image, so the only way to
discover it was reading the workflow file. Adds a Quick Start subsection
with the one-line `docker run` and the `docker exec … cat SETUP_TOKEN`
step, plus a row in the documentation table.

Deliberately does not sell it as the default: the note says the compose
stack is still the right choice for anything busier, gives the reason
(SQLite takes one writer at a time), and points at the `.picpeak`
restore as the way out, so nobody picks it and then finds themselves
stuck. Full details live at docs.picpeak.app/deployment/single-container
(PicPeak/docs#8).

* feat(docker): fold #1067's items into the all-in-one image (#1042)

Consolidating the two parallel AIO branches into this one. This PR's approach
is kept wherever the two differed on design — in particular the in-process
brand render, `index: false` (which fixes express.static shadowing
handlePublicSiteRequest, a bug #1067 had), the compression middleware, and the
smoke-aio job. What follows is what #1067 had that this branch did not.

Layout — the issue asks for a single mountable root, and this moves to one:

  /data/db       picpeak.db (+ -wal/-shm) and SETUP_TOKEN
  /data/storage  originals, thumbnails, archives
  /data/logs     application logs
  /data/backup   built-in backup output; /backup symlinks here

`-v picpeak:/data` and nothing else to remember. README and the smoke job's
database-path assertion follow the new layout.

Correctness items:

- sqlite CLI. DatabaseBackupService SPAWNS `sqlite3` for `.backup` and
  PRAGMA integrity_check; the npm module does not ship that binary.
  backend/Dockerfile omits it because compose always runs Postgres — this
  image defaults to SQLite, so every database backup failed with ENOENT.
- /backup wired in. Migrations 029 + 030 seed /backup/picpeak and
  /backup/database as the backup destinations; nothing created or mounted them,
  so backups had nowhere to write and anything written would die with the
  container. Symlinked into the volume, subdirectories created at startup
  (a bind mount hides the tree baked into the image), and adopted only when
  BACKUP_DIR is set so it never gates boot for compose deployments that do not
  mount it.
- logger.js honours LOG_DIR. It hard-coded <backend>/logs, so logs could not
  leave the container. Unset keeps the old path for every existing install.
- wait-for-db.sh derives its writable roots from STORAGE_PATH / DATA_DIR /
  LOG_DIR instead of hard-coded /app paths, and mkdir -p's them before chown —
  a bind-mounted /data hides the image's tree, and chown against a missing path
  reports "the filesystem rejects chown", which is both wrong and a dead end.
- .dockerignore excludes backend/-prefixed runtime data. Docker reads only the
  root file, so the unprefixed data/*.db, logs/* and storage/* rules missed
  backend/data, backend/logs and backend/storage entirely; a checkout used to
  run PicPeak would bake its database, photos, logs and SETUP_TOKEN into a
  published layer.
- HEALTHCHECK follows $PORT rather than a hard-coded 3000.
- --max-http-header-size=32768 matches nginx's large_client_header_buffers
  4 32k; Node's 16 KiB default would reject a guest carrying several
  per-gallery JWT cookies.

docs/single-container.md is added as the in-repo reference the README links to.

The smoke job gains four assertions for the above: the one-volume layout and
writable backup destinations, the sqlite3 CLI, logs landing on the volume, and
the image carrying no runtime data from the build context.

Verified on a built image — named volume, bind mount and PORT=8080 all healthy;
every existing smoke assertion still passes, including / -> 302 /admin/login,
the rendered BRAND_TITLE, immutable assets, gzip and /s/<unknown> -> 404.

* fix(docker): restore the SPA-fallback exclusions and close the build-context leak (#1042)

Both found by external review of the consolidated branch.

- The SPA catch-all had no backend-owned exclusions. This was a regression I
  introduced while merging: #1067 carried a BACKEND_OWNED prefix list, and
  taking this branch's server.js wholesale (correctly — its index:false and
  in-process brand render are the better design) dropped it. /photos,
  /thumbnails, /uploads and /fonts are static mounts whose middleware calls
  next() on a miss, so the catch-all was answering 200 text/html under image
  and font URLs instead of 404. nginx gave each of those its own location
  block, so try_files never applied to them.

- backend/data is now excluded wholesale rather than by suffix. The suffix list
  (*.db, *.db-wal, *.db-shm, SETUP_TOKEN) let real secrets through: a used
  checkout carries ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt next to the database, plus -journal
  files and any DATABASE_PATH not ending in .db. Since Dockerfile.aio builds
  from the repository root and COPYs backend/ wholesale, any of those would be
  baked into a published layer. The directory holds only runtime state and is
  already gitignored in full.

smoke-aio gains an assertion that the backend static routes still 404, so the
exclusion cannot be dropped again silently.

Verified on a built image: /photos, /thumbnails, /fonts and /uploads misses all
404; /setup, /impressum, /gallery/x, /admin/login still 200; / still 302s to
/admin/login; /api/nope still answers JSON; /s/<unknown> still 404s; and the
image carries no *.db, ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt, logs or storage from the context.

* fix(aio): three failures that only surface outside a dev laptop (#1042)

Backups aborted on SQLite. getTableChecksums() built its digest with
`CAST(t.* AS TEXT)`, which is Postgres row-to-text syntax; SQLite parses
`*` there as a syntax error, so every backup threw before reaching the
.backup call. Since the all-in-one image ships SQLite by default, that is
every AIO install. Enumerate the columns via columnInfo() and sum their
lengths instead.

The shared /data mount root was never adopted. wait-for-db.sh chowned the
children it creates but not the mount point itself, so a host directory
arriving as 0700 with a foreign owner stayed untraversable by UID 1001
after the su-exec drop. Docker Desktop's permissive bind mounts hide this
completely, which is why local testing passed; a NAS share does not.
DATA_ROOT is now adopted first.

Maintenance mode locked the admin out of the box. The middleware runs at
server.js:493, long before the static block at 891, and exempted the auth
endpoints but not the page that calls them. With the backend serving the
frontend, /admin/login and /assets/* returned 503 JSON, so an admin who
enabled maintenance mode could never load the UI to turn it off. nginx
serves those paths in the compose stack, which is why it never surfaced
there. Guest and API surfaces stay gated.

Verified on a built image: checksums compute across all 95 tables; a bind
mount created 0700/4000:4000 boots healthy and ends up 1001:1001; with
general_maintenance_mode=true, /admin/login, /admin and /assets/* return
200 while /gallery/* and /api/gallery/* return 503 — and 503 across all
three once the exemption is removed again.

* fix(aio): stop leaking .env into the image, fix the broken checksum test (#1042)

The Jest suite was red: mocking db.raw is no longer enough now that the
SQLite checksum branch asks the query builder for its column list, so
db(table) came back undefined and getTableChecksums failed on every PR.
The production code is right; the fixture needed to know about the call.

backend/.env was landing in the published layer. The root ignore file's
`.env`, `.env.*` and `data/*.db` rules read as unanchored but Docker
matches them from the context root, so they catch ./.env and never
backend/.env — and `COPY backend/ .` then puts a real JWT_SECRET at
/app/.env. Matched at any depth instead, the way **/node_modules in the
same file already is. Confirmed by building from a checkout carrying a
planted secret: before, `cat /app/.env` printed it back.

Business documents wrote outside the volume. quoteService, invoice
sending/reminders and contract signatures build paths from
process.cwd()/storage and never read STORAGE_PATH; compose hides it by
setting STORAGE_PATH=/app/storage with WORKDIR /app so the two are the
same directory. Here they are not, and /app is root-owned, so a quote or
invoice PDF failed to write as UID 1001 — and would not survive the
container if it had. Symlinked /app/storage into the volume, matching
the /backup symlink beside it. Teaching those services STORAGE_PATH is
the real fix and wants its own change.

Two smaller ones: the mount root is now chowned shallow rather than
recursively, since every child below it is already walked recursively
and a NAS-sized photo library should not be traversed twice on each
restart; and /assets/ joins the backend-owned prefixes, so a stale
hashed chunk requested by a tab left open across an upgrade gets a 404
instead of index.html served with 200 under a .js URL.

Verified on a built image: planted backend/.env and backend/probe.db are
absent; /app/storage resolves to /data/storage and a business-doc write
as UID 1001 appears on the host; a 0700 bind mount owned by 4000:4000
boots healthy; a missing /assets chunk 404s while the real bundle still
serves 200 as application/javascript. The databaseBackup suite is green
again, and the branch adds no failing suite that origin/main does not
already fail on the same machine.

* test(aio): teach the leak assertion about the storage symlink (#1042)

The previous check listed /app/storage/events and treated a hit as a
leak. That was true while /app/storage was either absent or a copied
directory; now it is a symlink into the volume, so the check followed it
and found the empty tree the image itself creates — a false positive on
its own design.

Check the shape instead: /app/storage must be a symlink pointing at
/data/storage, and the volume's photo tree must contain no files on a
fresh install. A real directory there now fails loudly, which is the
condition the assertion was always trying to catch. Also extended the
path list to /app/.env and loose database files, matching the
.dockerignore rules added alongside.

* fix(aio): show the maintenance screen instead of raw JSON to guests (#1042)

The previous commit exempted the admin shell so an admin could still
reach the switch they had just flipped. Guests had the same problem for
the same reason: with no nginx in front, /gallery/<slug> reaches this
middleware long before the static block, so a visitor during maintenance
got a 503 JSON body where every other deployment shows the branded
maintenance screen the frontend already ships.

Replaced the two path-specific exemptions with the rule they were both
special cases of: a GET that is not an API call and not a backend-owned
content mount is the SPA shell, and the shell is inert HTML — it boots,
reads /api/public/settings (already exempt) and renders MaintenanceMode
on its own. Everything that carries real data stays gated: /api/*,
/photos/, /thumbnails/, /fonts/, and any non-GET.

Compose is untouched by construction, since nginx answers those paths
and they never arrive here.

Verified on a built image with the flag on: /gallery/x, /customer/x,
/admin and /admin/login return 200 text/html while /api/gallery/x/verify,
/photos/x.jpg and /thumbnails/x.jpg return 503 and a POST to a public API
still returns 503; with the flag off the same paths go back to 404. Added
a middleware test over that exemption matrix — over-exemption is the real
risk in this change, so it asserts the gated half too. It fails on five
cases without the fix.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ra4hcsYiKuQLbbRsg6EjAc

* fix(aio): stop the shell exemption from un-gating /og and the public CMS (#1042)

The previous commit exempted "any GET that is not an API call". That
negative rule reads as safe and is not: /og/gallery/<slug> and its
/cover render the event name and the hero thumbnail, /s/<code> renders
short-link previews, and `/` is handed to the public CMS. All four are
proxy_passed to the backend by nginx, so they were gated before this PR
in every deployment — the rule un-gated them, and for compose too, not
just the new image. A site switched to maintenance would have kept
publishing gallery metadata.

Replaced the guess with the split nginx already defines: exempt what the
frontend container answers itself, gate what it proxies. That is the
same rule the all-in-one image needs by definition, since its whole job
is to be both halves of that stack, and it now matches compose in both
directions rather than only in the direction the last commit tested.

Verified on a built image with the flag on: /admin/login,
/gallery/<slug> and /customer/* return 200, while /, /og/gallery/x,
/og/gallery/x/cover, /s/abc, /robots.txt, /api/* and /photos/* return
503; with the flag off all of them behave normally again. The middleware
test grew the gated cases — it now covers 21, most of them asserting
what must NOT be exempt.

* fix(aio): give the image a FRONTEND_URL default so share links are absolute (#1042)

getFrontendBaseUrl() reads FRONTEND_URL, falls back to the
general_site_url setting, and otherwise returns an empty string — which
makes share_url come back as a bare "/gallery/<slug>/<token>". Compose
defaults the variable to http://localhost:3000, but the documented
one-liner for this image passes only JWT_SECRET, so every fresh
single-container install handed out relative links in API responses, QR
codes and emails.

Defaulted to the same value compose uses; -e FRONTEND_URL=https://...
overrides it, as does the site URL field in Settings.

Found by pointing tests/e2e/local at a running AIO container:
auth/06-api-tokens asserts share_url matches /^https?:\/\//, and it was
the one spec that failed for a product reason rather than a harness one.
It passes now, and the suite is 19/20 against the image — the remaining
failure is smoke/02-auth-flow, whose seed helper shells out to a
hard-coded `docker exec picpeak-backend`, so it cannot arrange its
precondition against any other container.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ra4hcsYiKuQLbbRsg6EjAc

* feat(aio): mark the image so face recognition stays off (#1042, #1074)

Face recognition needs a separate ML container this image does not contain,
and enabling it here would add a second image-processing pipeline competing
with Sharp for the CPU and memory of a container sized for one photographer
plus guests browsing. The failure mode would not be a clear error — just a
slow install that looks broken.

The backend gate for this lands in #1075 and keys on PICPEAK_SINGLE_CONTAINER.
Without this line the guard never triggers on an actual all-in-one build, so
the two changes have to arrive together: whichever merges second completes
the pair. Verified against this file's exact value — isFeatureEnabled()
returns false with it set.

An explicit marker rather than inferring from SERVE_FRONTEND or the SQLite
path, because legitimate multi-container deployments do both of those and
should keep the feature.

Also adds it to the Limits section of docs/single-container.md, next to the
SQLite and Redis constraints, since that is where someone will look before
choosing this image.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft f22999aba6 fix(storage): write business documents under STORAGE_PATH, not the cwd (#1070)
* fix(storage): write business documents under STORAGE_PATH, not the cwd

persistDocPdf, the invoice sending and reminder writers and both contract
signature writers built their target from
`path.join(process.cwd(), 'storage', 'business-docs', ...)` and never
consulted STORAGE_PATH. docker-compose.yml and
docker-compose.production.yml both pin STORAGE_PATH=/app/storage and the
image's WORKDIR is /app, so on a stock deployment the two expressions
name the same directory and nothing looked wrong.

Point STORAGE_PATH anywhere else and quotes, invoices, Mahnungen and
contract PDFs land outside the configured storage root: missed by the
backup walker, invisible to the storage accounting, and gone when the
container is replaced. It also fails outright where the working
directory is not writable by the runtime user.

Routed all six writers through getStoragePath(), the resolver the rest
of the app already uses. Two read-side sites of the same class came
along: the custom PDF font lookup now checks the storage root before the
legacy cwd path (a font under STORAGE_PATH/fonts was simply never found,
and the document silently fell back to the built-in face), and the
dev-test scratch directory follows the same root.

Left alone deliberately: resolveLogoFile and adminBusinessProfile
already try both roots, so their cwd reference is a legacy fallback
rather than a miss.

No migration needed — the persisted path is stored absolute, so rows
written before this keep resolving to where those files actually are.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ra4hcsYiKuQLbbRsg6EjAc

* fix(storage): allow the configured contract root, and move signature images too

Two holes in the previous commit, both found by review.

Contract downloads would have broken. assertContractPdfPath() guards the
admin unsigned/signed PDF routes and GET /api/public/contracts/:token/pdf,
and it listed only <cwd>/storage/business-docs/contract. Moving the
writers to STORAGE_PATH without moving that root meant every newly
generated contract was refused with PATH_OUTSIDE_STORAGE — a worse
failure than the bug being fixed, and only on the installs the fix was
for. The configured root is now allowed alongside the cwd one, which
stays for contracts written before the move; their absolute paths are in
the database and still resolve. Note the sibling root on the next line
already honoured STORAGE_PATH, so the helper was half-migrated already.

persistSignatureImage() still wrote customer and admin signature PNGs
under process.cwd(). It was missed because its path.join is spread over
seven lines while the others are single-line — and the regression test
compared against the single-line literal, so it reported green over a
live bug. The test now collapses whitespace before matching, which is
the only reason a formatting difference ever hid this. A sweep of the
whole of src/ with the same normalisation confirms the remaining
process.cwd()/storage references are all deliberate
`STORAGE_PATH || cwd` fallbacks, not misses.

Added a case that drives assertContractPdfPath against real files on
disk — the guard realpaths both the file and its roots, so a test using
imaginary paths proves nothing. It fails without the fix.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ra4hcsYiKuQLbbRsg6EjAc

* fix(storage): resolve the contract guard's root through the shared resolver

The guard still built its own `STORAGE_PATH || <cwd>/storage`. That
matches getStoragePath() only while STORAGE_PATH is set — with it unset
the shared resolver falls back module-relative to <repo>/storage while
this fell back to <cwd>/storage, and the backend is normally started
from backend/, so the two name different directories. Writers and guard
then disagreed about where contracts live and the download routes
refused them, which is the same failure the previous commit fixed for
the configured case, reappearing in the fallback case.

One resolver on both sides now, which is the point of the whole change.
Docblock updated to describe the three roots as they actually are.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ra4hcsYiKuQLbbRsg6EjAc

* fix(storage): make the fallback test safe, and align the backup diagnostics

The test added in the previous commit was dangerous. To exercise the
STORAGE_PATH-unset case it deleted process.env.STORAGE_PATH and then, in
cleanup, recursively removed `<resolved root>/business-docs` — which
with the variable unset resolves to the developer's real, gitignored
<repo>/storage. Running `npm test` in a working checkout would have
destroyed local business documents. This checkout has 65 MB there,
including a populated business-docs tree.

Rewritten to mock the shared resolver instead. That is both safe (every
path stays in the tmpdir) and a sharper assertion: if the guard consumes
getStoragePath() the mock moves its root, and if it went back to rolling
its own expression the mock would have no effect and the test fails —
which is exactly the regression being pinned.

backupCoverageService and backupIntegrityService kept their own
`STORAGE_PATH || cwd` roots. The backup walker itself already falls back
module-relative, so with the variable unset the two diagnostics
inspected a directory neither the walker nor the writers use and would
report the business-docs tree as missing while it was in fact being
backed up. Both now use the shared resolver.

No regression: the same jest invocation over contract/quote/invoice/pdf/
backup suites gives an identical 11 failed, 24 passed before and after —
those failures are a locally missing cron-parser dependency and
reproduce on an unmodified tree.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 52db982661 fix(gallery): make per-event banner overrides actually work, both banners (#440, #932) (#1064)
* fix(gallery): make per-event banner overrides actually work, both banners (#440, #932)

The promo banner shipped with a per-event inherit/custom/off override that
never reached a guest. GalleryView reads promo_mode from the /photos payload,
and /photos never sent it — so every gallery resolved to 'inherit'. Setting a
gallery's promo banner to "Off" did nothing; the global banner kept rendering.
The info banner (#932) mirrored that shape and inherited the same gaps.

Four places dropped the fields; all four now carry both banners:

1. GET /gallery/:slug/photos — send promo_mode/promo_markdown alongside the
   info fields. This is the fix that makes "Off" mean off.
2. POST /admin/events — the validators accepted both banners and the insert
   discarded them, so an API client could POST info_mode:'off', get 201, and
   find the row on 'inherit'. Markdown is stored only for 'custom', matching
   the PUT rule.
3. POST /admin/events/:id/duplicate — copy both from the source row. The
   dialog promises the copy "inherits the branding, behaviour, feedback, and
   category configuration"; a muted gallery un-muting on duplication is the
   opposite of that.
4. PUT /admin/events/:id — resolve the effective mode from the STORED row when
   a partial update sends only the markdown. Previously updates.promo_mode was
   undefined on such a request and the text was parked on an inherit/off
   gallery, then resurfaced when someone later switched it to 'custom'. The
   lookup is lazy: one extra query, only on that path.

The two normalisation blocks are now one loop over both banners, so the pair
can't drift apart again.

Verified in a browser, both directions against the same global banner:
promo_mode='off' -> not rendered; 'inherit' -> rendered. The /photos payload
went from promo_mode ABSENT to carrying the value.

* fix(gallery): thread promo into the reveal view, drop stale markdown on duplicate

External review, round 1 on this PR. Two gaps in the plumbing it introduced:

- The reveal-hidden branch copied only the info fields from /photos. Now that
  /photos carries promo too, a reveal-hidden gallery with promo_mode 'off'
  still fell back to 'inherit' and showed the global banner on the first load
  after login. Thread both banners there.

- The duplicate copied markdown verbatim. A row written before the PUT
  normalisation landed can hold text while its mode is 'inherit'/'off', so the
  copy inherited hidden text that would resurface the moment someone switched
  it to 'custom' — violating the very invariant this PR establishes. Copy
  markdown only when the source mode is 'custom'.

Test covers the stale-markdown source explicitly.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft b48fa62eea feat(gallery): info banner above the photo grid (#932) (#1063)
* feat(gallery): info banner above the photo grid (#932)

A short informational note rendered at the TOP of a gallery, above the
photos. Distinct from the promotional banner (#440), which stays by the
footer for marketing copy — the reporter's case is an onboarding hint ("use
the menu button to filter"), which is useless below a gallery the guest has
to scroll past first.

Mirrors the promo feature's shape rather than inventing a second one: a
global default in Settings → Branding (branding_info_markdown) plus a
per-event inherit/custom/off override. Markdown via the existing
MarkdownContent sanitiser — no raw HTML, no CSS injection. Empty global
default means nothing renders, so upgrading changes nothing visible.

Deliberately NOT included: an alignment knob (this is short helper copy, not
marketing layout) and guest dismissal — the issue lists dismissal as a
nice-to-have, and it needs per-guest persistence that is its own decision.

Migration 176 is idempotent (hasColumn / existing-key guarded).

Note on the payload plumbing: the per-event fields travel in the /photos
response, not just /info. GalleryAuthContext seeds its cached event from the
gallery LOGIN response — a small identity subset — so anything absent there
is undefined right after a guest signs in. /photos is the payload that
refreshes on every gallery load, which is why the fields were added there
and why GalleryView reads them from `data.event`. Verified in a browser
across all three modes; reading them from the context event instead silently
collapsed every override back to 'inherit'.

* fix(branding): map branding_info_markdown on read so saving can't wipe it (#932)

External review caught this. BrandingSettings declared no info_markdown and
formatBrandingSettings never mapped branding_info_markdown, so BrandingPage's
hydration — setBrandingSettings(prev => ({ ...prev, ...formatted })) — kept
the empty-string initializer instead of the persisted value. The form loaded
blank and the next Save posted '' back, wiping a configured banner. Silently:
the gallery keeps rendering the old copy until that save lands.

This is the same bug the footer/promo fields hit in #441 + #440 / #460, which
the read mapper still carries a comment about. Add the field to the interface
and the mapper, and pin the round-trip for the whole editable branding set so
the next field added is caught by a test rather than by a user losing copy.

Verified: the new test fails 3/4 with the mapper line removed.

* fix(gallery): honour the info-banner override in the reveal-hidden view (#932)

External review, round 2. The hidden-until-reveal branch renders GalleryLayout
with the context `event`, which is seeded from the gallery login response and
carries no banner fields — so while a gallery was hidden, a per-event 'off'
silently resolved to 'inherit' and the global banner appeared on a gallery the
admin had muted.

Resolve the fields there the same way the main render path does. The two
full-page layouts (gallery-premium, gallery-story) are deliberately left alone:
they return before GalleryLayout and render no header, footer or promo banner
either — injecting a wrapper into layouts documented as having 'their own
integrated UI' would be a design change, not a fix.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 3a11e6ebb5 fix(pdf): RFC 6266-encode Content-Disposition on quote/invoice PDFs (#1024) (#1055)
* fix(pdf): RFC 6266-encode Content-Disposition on quote/invoice PDFs (#1024)

The six quote/invoice PDF endpoints interpolated buildPdfFilename()'s result
straight into `inline; filename="${filename}"`. That result deliberately
preserves non-ASCII (it doubles as the PDF's internal Title metadata), and
HTTP header values are latin1 — so a customer label reaching the header
directly failed in one of two ways:

  - U+0080-U+00FF (ä ö ü ß — every German umlaut): no throw. The raw byte
    goes out and the client reads back a mangled name. Silent corruption.
  - above U+00FF (Polish ł, Czech ř, Turkish ş, €, Cyrillic, CJK, emoji):
    Node's setHeader rejects it with ERR_INVALID_CHAR. The throw lands
    after the PDF buffer is already rendered, so the request 500s.

Note this corrects the issue's diagnosis: it reported umlauts as the 500
case, but umlauts are inside latin1 and mangle rather than throw. Both
symptoms share this root cause and both are fixed here.

Route through buildContentDisposition() (utils/filenameSanitizer, already
used by secureImages.js), which emits an ASCII fallback plus the RFC 5987
`filename*=UTF-8''…` form, so the unicode name survives in browsers and the
header stays legal. Applied to all six sites: adminQuotes (persisted +
preview), adminInvoices (persisted + preview), customer (quote + invoice).

Also correct buildPdfFilename's docstring, which advertised the preserved
non-ASCII as suitable for Content-Disposition — the exact misreading that
produced these call sites.

* test(pdf): pin the ASCII fallback for fully non-Latin customer names (#1024)

A name written entirely in another script leaves the legacy filename= token
with just the document number (Q-2026-0042_.pdf) — filename* carries the real
name. That's the intended trade, but it's the token a client without RFC 5987
support actually saves, so assert it stays legal, non-empty and carries the
document number rather than leaving it unpinned.

* fix(pdf): don't split surrogate pairs when truncating the filename (#1024)

Codex review caught this. sanitiseSegment caps each segment at 80 UTF-16 code
units, so a cap landing inside an astral character (emoji, rarer CJK) left a
dangling high surrogate. encodeURIComponent throws URIError: URI malformed on
a lone surrogate, so buildContentDisposition — the helper this PR routes the
six PDF endpoints through — 500'd for e.g. company_name = 'a'.repeat(79)+'🎉',
well inside the 120-char validator limit. Same 500 the PR set out to remove,
reached a different way.

Drop the orphaned surrogate instead of widening the cap, so the byte budget
the limit exists to protect is unchanged. Tests cover both boundary cases and
assert the cap semantics; they fail against the previous slice().
