Paul Nothaft abc960170b fix(backend): validate business-profile logo uploads by content, not filename (#1381)
* fix(backend): validate business-profile logo uploads by content, not filename

The upload route skipped the shared validateFileType() helper every
sibling upload route uses, and derived the stored extension from the
client-supplied filename. A file could declare an image MIME type
while carrying an executable/HTML extension and arbitrary content,
then be served same-origin via the mass-assignable logoPath field.

* fix(backend): content-sniff business-profile logo uploads too

fileFilter paired the claimed MIME type against the extension but
never verified the actual bytes matched, unlike other upload routes
that already call validateFileContent(). Defense-in-depth: the
extension-confusion XSS itself was already closed (stored extension
is derived from the validated MIME, not client input), this closes
the remaining gap where declared-vs-actual content can still diverge.

Paul Nothaft ff23efec81 chore(usage): renumber prompt_shown migration to 212
#1359 independently added 211_revocations_without_expiry.js against
the same main baseline. Renumbering this one to 212 keeps the
migrations directory sequentially numbered once both land, regardless
of merge order. No functional change — same up()/down(), same column.

Paul Nothaft d20f80112f feat(usage): prompt existing admins once for usage reporting after an update
An admin who already had PicPeak installed before the opt-in reporting
feature existed never gets asked — the setup wizard only runs once, on
a brand-new instance. Adds a one-time modal, shown on the admin's next
dashboard visit after updating, offering the same choice the wizard
gives a new install.

- New `product_usage_state.prompt_shown` column (migration 211) and
  UsageService.markPromptShown(), set on either outcome (enable or
  decline) from both this modal and the wizard step, so an
  installation is never asked twice regardless of which path it took.
- New POST /admin/usage/prompt-seen endpoint.
- Extracted the wizard's three-point pitch (UsageReportingPitch.tsx)
  so the modal and the wizard step share identical copy instead of
  drifting apart.
- The modal never shows once participation is already active, and
  never shows a second time after either the wizard or the modal has
  been through it once.

Depends on #1360 (the setup wizard step this reuses).

Paul Nothaft acb25a9a1c fix(images): probe and clean up preview tiers under the extension the encoder actually wrote (#1355)
generatePreviewImage rewrites the output extension to match the encoding
it chose, .jpg or .webp for alpha and multi-frame sources. The tier
lookup in ensurePreviewImageAtWidth and the cleanup list in
previewTierKeys kept the SOURCE extension instead, so for anything but a
lowercase .jpg source the stat never matched: every tier request for a
.png, .JPG, .jpeg, .heic or RAW photo re-ran Sharp, and cleanup never
found the files it left behind, which accumulated for the life of the
install.

Both now derive every key the tier can live under: the .jpg and .webp
candidates, plus the source-extension key last so tiers written before
the rewrite are still found by lookup and by cleanup.

Follow-up to issue 1020, where the mismatch was identified during review.

Paul Nothaft c97341e454 fix(images): single-flight lazy rendition generation and keep the old rendition during replacement (#1350)
* fix(images): single-flight lazy rendition generation and keep the old rendition during replacement

The lazy generators in imageProcessor are check-then-generate, and the
check reads the path off the photo row the route already fetched. N
concurrent cold requests for one photo all held a snapshot with the path
still null, all missed, and all ran the same sharp pipeline. Only the
thumbnail tier path had a guard; the canonical thumbnail it falls back
to, heroes, previews and preview tiers had none.

One process-local map now covers every rendition, keyed by photo id and
rendition (`thumbnail:<id>`, `thumbnail:<id>:w<width>`, `hero:<id>`,
`preview:<id>`, `preview:<id>:w<width>`). Concurrent callers share one
promise; the entry is cleared in a finally on success and failure alike
so a rejection cannot poison the key. The tier stat moved inside the
flight so a request arriving as the previous flight clears finds the
written tier instead of missing on a stale probe.

Heroes and previews also deleted the existing object before generating
its replacement, and again in the catch. Both are gone, mirroring what
the thumbnail generator already does: put is the last statement in the
try and replaces atomically on local storage and by key on S3, so the
delete only ever opened a window with no rendition at all, and a source
that failed to read stripped the old rendition with the row still
pointing at it.

No re-read of the photo row inside the flight: the admin regenerate
endpoints force a rebuild by passing a row with the path nulled, and a
re-read would hand back the persisted rendition untouched.

Fixes the single-flight half of issue 1020. The preview cache-key
extension mismatch and any server-wide work queue remain separate.

* fix(images): keep the snapshot validity check outside the single-flight

With the check inside the flight, an admin regeneration (row passed with
the path nulled) could join a viewer's flight for the same photo that was
merely confirming an already-good rendition, and be handed back the very
file it was asked to replace while the endpoint counted a success. Only a
miss enters the flight now; inside it everything is a regeneration.

* fix(images): forced rebuilds run after an in-flight lazy generation instead of adopting it

The admin regenerate endpoints could still join a lazy flight that was
already generating for the same photo. That flight read the thumbnail
settings when it started, so after a settings change it produces exactly
the rendition the regenerate was invoked to replace; adopting it counted
a success while the old size stayed cached.

ensureThumbnail and ensurePreviewImage take `{ force: true }`: skip the
snapshot check and, if a flight is pending, start after it settles. Lazy
misses arriving meanwhile join the forced flight, and an older flight
settling late no longer evicts the newer entry from the map.

* fix(images): key rendition flights by source as well as photo id

replacePhoto keeps the photo id and changes path and filename. Keyed by
id and width alone, a request carrying the replacement row joined a
flight still rendering the file it replaced and was handed the old
image, which the gallery caches for 30 minutes. The tier map this
replaced was keyed by storage key and so already told the two apart.

* test(thumbnails): wait for the regenerate loop's completion line instead of a fixed 150 ms

The loop runs in setImmediate after the response. Under a loaded machine
(fifteen suites in parallel, each booting a migrated SQLite) it took
longer than 150 ms once and the assertions ran against a half-finished
mock call list. Poll the logger spy for the "regeneration complete" line
with a 10 s deadline; the suite also finishes sooner because the wait
ends as soon as the loop does.

Paul Nothaft 1e8b6f1b0f fix(usage): close the QA findings on opt-in product usage
A QA exploration of this branch against an isolated rig — own stub
collector, SQLite and PostgreSQL — turned up one dead end and a set of
signals and controls that did not hold up. This closes all of them.

Rotating JWT_SECRET, the documented response to a suspected compromise,
made the signing key unreadable. That was already named and documented,
but it left no way out: the delete packet can never be signed, so the
row stays deletion_pending forever, and enable() refuses because it is
not `disabled`. An operator who rotated precisely because the secret was
compromised cannot restore it, so the feature was bricked with no
control left. POST /usage/abandon is offered only in that state; it
drops the local identity and records the receipt as
`collector-unconfirmed` rather than claiming a deletion that did not
happen.

Every failed delivery was retried on the next admin request, and
/activity is open to any authenticated admin while the settings ticker
fires it every five minutes per open tab — 30 activity calls against a
rejecting collector produced 30 outbound requests. Migration 206 adds
attempts/next_attempt_at and the unattended sender honours the gate;
Retry and opt-out still send immediately, and the tab names the time of
the next automatic attempt.

Feedback, votes and portal sessions now share an installation-wide
budget of 30/hour. They are the only endpoints whose effect is outbound
traffic carrying operator-written free text, and the general limiter
skips authenticated requests by design. Reading status and withdrawing
stay unthrottled.

gallery_image_protection was true on a bare install with no galleries:
PicPeak ships default_protection_level='standard' and
enable_devtools_protection=true, so it reported fleet-wide 100% and
could never separate a decision from an untouched default. It now reads
only what deviates from the shipped defaults, and the devtools flag is
not read at all — being on by default, its only informative state is
off, which is the opposite of what the key claims.

Also:
- the export receipt counted every packet and called the total "usage
  reports"; reports and participant operations are now counted and named
  separately
- GET /usage/preview no longer persists the custom_css marker, so the
  transparency view stops changing what will be sent
- the feedback route requires every field the packet schema requires,
  so an API caller gets the missing field named instead of a bare
  INVALID_PACKET from inside signing
- the German strings for this feature use "Sie" throughout, matching the
  rest of the admin UI; the ignore hint says what ignoring will do
  rather than stating it as already true
- the consent dialog returns focus to the control that opened it
- the long buttons wrap instead of running off a 390px viewport
- a deletion receipt is labelled as belonging to an earlier
  participation while a new one is active

Regression tests cover each of these, including the delete packet's
reuse of the last accepted sequence, which was an unwritten assumption
about the collector rather than a defect.

Paul Nothaft 7ff8caf9d7 fix: remove the fragmentation handling stranded by #1303
#1298 and #1303 merged together. #1298 taught the creation paths to
resolve a fragmentation_level default; #1303 removed everything that
consumed it. Neither conflicted textually, so main ended up validating
the field on create and update, copying it on duplicate, resolving
default_fragmentation_level for it, and advertising it in the v1 API
docs — for a value nothing reads and a setting the Image Security tab no
longer exposes.

Inert rather than broken, which is exactly why it needed removing on
purpose: dead code that contradicts the PR that just deleted the feature
is how the next reader concludes fragmentation still works.

The events.fragmentation_level column and the app_settings row stay, as
#1303 decided — dropping a column is irreversible and the stored values
are harmless once nothing reads them.

Paul Nothaft cc263f2e87 fix(usage): isolate the Postgres fixture, and stop two more wrong signals
Three findings, one of them mine and CI-affecting.

The Postgres suite gets its own schema. CI hands every gated suite the
same PICPEAK_PG_TEST_URL and runs jest with parallel workers, and both
picpeakRestorePg and externalRelpathFoldPg drop and recreate `events`
and `app_settings` in it — so the suite I added would have destroyed
their fixtures and vice versa, intermittently. It now creates and drops
its own `usage_pg_test` schema and reaches the tables through
searchPath, which works because the service queries unqualified names.
Verified on a clean database: after the run `public` still holds zero
tables. My first attempt at this silently did not apply — the
replacement anchor had been reformatted by eslint and I printed success
without asserting the match, which is why the first "isolated" claim was
wrong.

Webhook-only installs are no longer counted as SMTP users. With
EMAIL_WEBHOOK_URL and EMAIL_WEBHOOK_SECRET set, adminEmail sends
/email/test through the webhook transport and never touches SMTP (#1225
added that path), but the rule recorded the permanent `smtp` marker
anyway. Gated on the transport that is actually configured.

Activation is written atomically with its acknowledgement. Split across
two updates, a failure or a stop between them left the row
activation_pending with pending_packet already cleared — registered with
the collector, and permanently stuck locally, because tick() has nothing
to retry from there. The register case now sets status in the same write
and is guarded precisely on activation_pending rather than merely "not
withdrawing".

Paul Nothaft c7cedb00d6 test(usage): prove product usage works on PostgreSQL, and harden the collector default
Everything about this feature had been exercised on SQLite only, which is
the engine least likely to show its problems.

Adds __tests__/integration/productUsagePg.test.js, following the gated
pattern the .picpeak restore suites use: it runs the real migrations
201-203 against a real PostgreSQL and covers what SQLite cannot answer.
node-postgres returns bigint as a STRING, and the withdrawal guard
compares `cancel_seq` — a `'1' !== 1` slip there would let an activation
complete after an opt-out, and SQLite, which hands back a number, would
never show it. Booleans are real booleans rather than 0/1, which is what
every `configured` signal in a report is built from. And markUsed takes
SELECT ... FOR UPDATE on this engine only.

Seven cases, all passing against PostgreSQL 15. Removing the
compare-and-swap condition fails the withdrawal case there too, so the
suite has teeth on that engine and not only on SQLite. CI already
provides PICPEAK_PG_TEST_URL, so these run there rather than skipping.

The collector default is harder to lose. An unset, empty or
whitespace-only USAGE_COLLECTOR_URL now falls back to
https://usage.picpeak.app — deployments that template the variable in
(docker-compose writes ${USAGE_COLLECTOR_URL:-...}) can hand over an
empty string, and that has to mean "use the default" rather than "no
collector". A value that is present but malformed is still reported as a
configuration error instead of being silently replaced: quietly
retargeting a self-hoster's collector at ours would send their reports
somewhere they did not choose.

Paul Nothaft 0deef2584f fix(security): one settings decoder, and the last creation path
Round-four review follow-ups.

Every reader of app_settings now shares decodeSettingValue. The previous
commit taught the GET handler to decode, which on a legacy SQLite install
made the tab show devtools protection as disabled while
readBooleanSetting — parsing once, getting the string 'false', rejecting
it — left new galleries with it enabled. A decoder used by only some
readers is worse than none, because the UI and the behaviour disagree.
readBooleanSetting, getImageSecurityDefaults, the v1 devtools fallback
and the settings GET all use it now.

Standalone contract conversion covered. contract/conversions.js takes
Path B and inserts its own event row when the contract has no source
quote, so signed standalone contracts were the last path still landing
on the migration-038 column defaults.

Paul Nothaft 0e560ebb19 fix(security): decode settings at the API boundary and honour the transaction
Round-three review follow-ups.

getImageSecurityDefaults now accepts a transaction, the way getAppSetting
two lines above it already does. quoteService.convertToEvent called it
from inside db.transaction() through the global db; sqlite3 runs a
single-connection pool, so that read would have waited on the connection
its own transaction was holding until the acquire timeout, and the
helper's catch would then have swallowed the error and dropped the
defaults silently.

The double-encoding is fixed where it starts. GET
/admin/image-security/settings returned setting_value undecoded, so it
shipped "true" to a tab that types the field as boolean — and since the
tab PUTs the whole object back through JSON.stringify, every save
wrapped another layer around values nobody edited. It decodes now, so a
round trip is idempotent. The tab is the only consumer of that endpoint.

The reader unwraps to any depth instead of four. The depth on an
existing install is however many times someone opened that tab, which is
not a number to cap. It terminates because each parse of a string is
strictly shorter than its input.

Paul Nothaft 19c518aaa5 fix(security): close the remaining image-security default gaps
Round-two review follow-ups.

Settings survive the tab round trip. GET returns setting_value without
decoding it and ImageSecurityTab PUTs the whole fetched object back
through JSON.stringify, so on SQLite one visit to the tab re-encodes
every value it read. A single parse then yields the string "true", the
type checks reject it, and the defaults go quietly dead — the exact bug
this change exists to fix, returning by a different route. The reader
now unwraps until the value stops being a JSON string, bounded.

Array overrides rejected. express-validator applies isInt/isIn/isBoolean
element-wise, so `image_quality: [72]` passed the chain and arrived
still an array — a PG insert error, and `[false]` coerced to true by
formatBoolean. Both create routes now use .not().isArray(), and the
shared resolver ignores non-scalars for any future caller.

Two more creation paths covered. quoteService.convertToEvent builds its
own events row, so CRM-converted galleries fell back to column defaults.
/:id/duplicate copies fifteen source columns including
enable_devtools_protection but missed these four, so duplicating a
'maximum' gallery produced a 'standard' one — a duplicate now inherits
the source's values, not the current globals, since copying the gallery
is the point.

The PUT /:id chain has the same array weakness. Pre-existing and outside
this fix; left alone deliberately.

Paul Nothaft ab6c33d9eb fix(security): apply image-security defaults on every creation path
Review follow-ups on the #1296 fix.

The defaults were resolved only in the admin POST / handler. POST
/api/v1/events builds its own insert and resolved just the devtools
setting, so an API-created gallery still fell back to the column
defaults — the same split that made #592 a separate bug from #317, about
to be repeated. Both paths now share resolveImageSecurityColumns().

An explicitly supplied value now wins over the global default. The
create routes never accepted these four fields at all, though PUT /:id
has validated them all along, so a client sending protection_level on
create had it silently dropped. The previous comment claimed the spread
ordering preserved a request value; there was no request value to
preserve, and a later spread would have overridden one anyway.

Settings validation no longer leans on parseInt, which rescues '72oops',
72.5 and [72] into valid-looking integers. The settings PUT stores
whatever JSON it is handed without validating values, so those really
can reach the resolver.

fragmentation_level is still stored and consumed by no renderer —
ProtectedImage hardcodes a 4-grid and secureImageService a 3x3. Noted in
the API docs rather than silently implied to work.

Paul Nothaft 8ca3610514 fix(security): apply the Image-security defaults instead of storing them (#1296)
Four controls in Settings → Image security were written, reloaded and
rendered as toggles, and read by nothing:

  default_protection_level     → events.protection_level
  default_image_quality        → events.image_quality
  enable_canvas_rendering      → events.use_canvas_rendering
  default_fragmentation_level  → events.fragmentation_level

Each maps onto a column migration 038 already created, and each is
labelled "… by default". `enable_devtools_protection` was the only one of
the five ever wired (#317), and its plumbing is the pattern this follows.

Reported for enable_canvas_rendering by @leonlivevocalist-svg while
instrumenting #1287 — the setting was globally true on their install and
zero canvas elements were created. Checking the neighbours found three
more of the same, so fixing one and leaving three would have been worse
than leaving all four.

CREATION-TIME ONLY, deliberately. Applying these to existing events would
silently change live galleries on upgrade: an install with
enable_canvas_rendering already on would flip every grid to canvas
rendering, which is memory-expensive at scale and is the exact profile
under investigation in #1287. New events inherit; existing rows are
untouched.

A missing or malformed value yields no key, so creation falls through to
the column default exactly as before — including the ranges, where an
out-of-range quality or fragmentation level is ignored rather than
clamped into something the operator did not choose. `false` is carried
through rather than dropped as falsy, or "off" would be unreachable.

The spread sits after the explicit columns so a value supplied by the
request still wins.

12 tests: the mapping, the false case, seven malformed inputs falling
through, partial configuration, and that a settings failure cannot block
event creation.

Paul Nothaft fc595409b4 feat(crm): newsletter campaigns behind a newsletters flag (#1264)
Part B of #1264. Flag off by default, so an install that never enables it
gains no route, no nav entry and no way to mass-mail.

A campaign is a body plus a recipient rule. Queueing one writes ordinary
email_queue rows (email_type 'newsletter', origin 'campaign', new
campaign_id), so retry, rendered_html, sent_at and error_message all come
from the existing processor rather than a parallel sender. Throttling
staggers scheduled_at; the processor loop is untouched.

Two rules the service enforces: no raw HTML is ever stored (sanitized on
write and again on render, idempotently), and opt-out is checked at queue
time AND again at send time.

Migration 199 adds email_campaigns, email_campaign_recipients,
email_queue.campaign_id, customer_accounts.marketing_opt_out(_at), and
the newsletters.view / newsletters.send permissions.

Three rounds of external review are folded in, including several that
would otherwise have shipped broken:

- Campaign rows never came due on SQLite. queueEmail writes a Date, which
  the sqlite3 binding stores as epoch ms; ISO text in the same column
  compares as TEXT against an INTEGER, and SQLite orders every INTEGER
  below every TEXT. The feature silently sent nothing there.
- The flag had no Settings card and no sidebar entry, so it could not be
  enabled through the UI at all.
- Consent is per ADDRESS, not per row: two accounts sharing an inbox meant
  unsubscribing stopped one and not the other, at both queue and send time.
- The unsubscribe GET mutated consent, so a mail-security scanner walking
  a campaign could have unsubscribed much of the list. GET now confirms,
  POST acts.
- The rate ceiling is clamped to the queue's real throughput (10/min), so
  the composer's estimate stops being wrong by up to 12x.

Paul Nothaft 8f98f6bdec fix(gallery): show a guest their own likes when feedback sharing is off (#1286)
show_feedback_to_guests means "don't show guests OTHER PEOPLE's feedback".
The per-viewer is_liked flag was gated on it anyway, so turning sharing
off emptied every heart the guest had set themselves, on every page load,
while the photo_feedback rows sat there intact.

The query behind the flag is filtered to the viewer (by guest_id, or by
their own IP+UA identifier), so what it returns was never aggregate data.
The colour-label block twelve lines below already documents this exact
reasoning and is correctly ungated.

Scope is just that flag — the counts beside it stay gated, with a test
pinning that the fix does not leak them back. The #1150 contract still
holds: an admin-hidden like does not read as liked.

Note for the reporter: the FILTER path was already correct
(includeGuestMatches is ungated, /my-feedback carries no gate). The empty
Likes chip was downstream of the same falsified flag, not a second bug.

Paul Nothaft b6e40b9a2a feat(email): global signature footer from the business profile (#1264)
The business profile already carried the operator's full issuer block —
address, phone, email, website, VAT id — but none of it reached an email.
Those columns only fed the quote/invoice PDF renderer, so every outgoing
mail footer was the fixed logo + company name + copyright line.

The signature is rendered by wrapEmailHtml and nowhere else, so no
template, no per-type send path and no queue row needed a change. Two new
columns on business_profile (migration 198) carry the toggle and one
free-text legal line; everything else is read from the address fields the
operator already maintains.

Default off, with a test pinning that the disabled path is byte-identical
to a no-profile install.

Includes three rounds of external review fixes: the plain-text MIME part
also carries the signature; string booleans ('false'/'0') no longer
invert the toggle; the status line stays silent rather than asserting
"off" while unauthorised or loading; and the preview's Text tab mirrors
the send path's htmlToText fallback.

Manual Messages replies deliberately keep no signature — they bypass the
wrapper by design — and the UI copy names that exception.

Paul Nothaft a7d45ddd0d fix(workflows): restore the once-per-process seed guard
`booted` was assigned but never read, so the guard's early return was missing
and the builtin workflow seeder ran on every call.

Impact was wasteful, not harmful: seedOneBuiltin is idempotent -- it keys on
builtin_key and returns early when adminOwned or storedVersion >= def.version,
writing a graph only on a fresh insert or a version bump. So repeat calls cost
a lookup per builtin plus a graph rebuild, with no duplicate rows.

`booted = true` stays inside the try, so a seed that never got off the ground
(workflows table not migrated, DB down) leaves the flag clear and retries. A
per-builtin failure is still swallowed by the inner catch and does not block
the flag, unchanged.

Restoring the guard broke workflowEngine.test.js, which calls the boot seeder
seven times in one worker and needs the second call to run in two of them.
Followed the existing _backupPathsBoot/_restoreSettingsBoot precedent:
exported _resetBootForTests().

Paul Nothaft 3f6c81a846 fix(photos): treat category_id 0 as uncategorized instead of storing it
Genuine product bug, found behind the adminPhotos.reference suite (which was
failing for an unrelated reason -- see below).

parseInt('0') is 0 and !isNaN(0) is true, so a '0' category_id was written
literally. photo_categories.id is an increments() column, so 0 can never be a
real category, and every read path already assumes it cannot happen: the list
mapper does `category_id || type` (0 is falsy, renders as uncategorized) and
the list filter explicitly skips '0'. The result was a filter black hole -- the
photo matches no numeric category filter, and misses the "uncategorized"
filter too because that is whereNull(). Displayed as uncategorized, reachable
by nothing.

null rather than a 400: unparseable input ('abc' -> NaN) already falls through
to null, so 400ing on '0' while silently accepting 'abc' would be incoherent,
and '0' is just the HTML <select> shape where the "none" option carries
value="0".

Fixed at all three call sites that share the branch -- PATCH /photos/:photoId,
POST /photos/bulk-update, and the upload route, where the dangling 0 was
written at creation time and the scope-validation guard
(`if (parsedCategoryId && ...)`) skipped on the falsy 0 and let it in
unvalidated. Only the PATCH one was behind the failing test; leaving the other
two would have left the bad state creatable.

The suite's 3 failures were all masked by a fixture gap, not this bug: it
stubs middleware/auth but not middleware/permissions, so requirePermission's
admin_users JOIN roles query hit tables the fixture never creates and every
request 500'd before reaching a handler. Stub it, bring the photos fixture up
to the 7 migrations it had drifted behind, and correct a stale 200 that became
202 when uploads went async in 851744c3.

Known adjacent gap, not fixed (wider than this bug): PATCH and bulk-update
accept any positive category_id with no existence or scope check, unlike the
upload route which validates event_id = X OR is_global per #500/#525 -- so a
photo can be PATCHed into another event's category.

Paul Nothaft 1d84c738d8 test: repair four stale backend suites
All four asserted contracts the product has since moved past. No genuine
product bugs behind any of them; assertions were tightened, not loosened.

adminAuth (3 tests): never mounted errorHandler, so ConflictError/
ValidationError arrived as empty Express defaults. The route also checks
username before email, so the "email conflict" fixture was hitting the
username branch. Mount the handler, fix the fixture, match the real response
shapes.

backupService.enhanced (12 tests): three stacked drifts -- the db mock had no
.returning(), so every runBackup threw at the insert; ensureDatabaseDumpForBackup
now lazily requires ./databaseBackup inside the run, which fails under
mock-fs; and the rsync path moved from exec(shell string) to
spawnAsync('rsync', args) with an isHostAllowed SSRF preflight. Also updates
getBackupStatus to its current shape (frontend aliases, nextScheduledRun null
when no schedule is enabled, #871).

adminSettings.logo: POST /logo gained requirePermission('settings.edit');
the hand-rolled db mock returns a bare Promise from select(), so the
permission lookup threw a TypeError into a 500. Mock the permissions
middleware alongside the already-mocked auth.

crmMintPaths (2 tests): macOS-only. The expected prefix was realpath'd while
the services persist under the raw STORAGE_PATH -- identical on Linux CI
(/var vs /private/var only diverges on macOS), which is why it passed there.
The comment justifying the realpath referenced process.cwd() behaviour the
services no longer have.

Paul Nothaft c5c5a6b0c8 fix(webhooks): write delivery timestamps as ISO strings
Applies the repo's documented Jest+SQLite guidance (CLAUDE.md) to the webhook
delivery path, which was the last one still passing raw Date objects into
knex writes. Under jest those store as the literal string "[object Object]",
so next_retry_at came back NaN and the retry/backoff test could not assert on
it. Production (PG, and SQLite outside jest) was unaffected.

Convert the timestamp writes -- and the `next_retry_at <=` due comparison,
which has to stay type-consistent with them -- to .toISOString(), matching
the existing precedent in downloadJobService.js.

Paul Nothaft 6938bad107 fix(events): apply the gallery password policy to publish and send-later (#1253)
Both routes re-hash password_hash from a plaintext the admin re-types, and
both validated it with nothing but express-validator's isLength({min:6}).
So the configured complexity — moderate by default, meaning 8 chars plus
upper, lower and a digit — governed creation and reset while these two doors
accepted 'aaaaaa' and made it the live gallery password.

Fixed for both at once, deliberately. Fixing only the newer send-later route
would have made a quiet-publish password valid at publish time and rejected
by send-later, leaving the admin unable to mail a gallery that is already
live under exactly that password.

Not an escalation — it needs admin auth plus events.edit, and such an admin
could already set the same weak password through /publish. It is a policy
gap: the UI promised a complexity level these two endpoints did not enforce.

BEHAVIOUR CHANGE: an API-only consumer publishing with a sub-policy password
now gets 400 with the same body shape event creation returns (error, details,
score, feedback) instead of silently weakening the gallery. Two existing test
fixtures had to change for the same reason — their intent was that the
supplied password is carried and persisted, not that a weak one is accepted.

Paul Nothaft a35d2bad66 fix(archives): restore categories for original-filename archives on main too (#1252)
main's #1240 landed the manifest lookup in its first form; the hardening that
followed only ever reached stable, via #1243. So main still silently loses
every category when restoring an archive written while
general_use_original_filenames_for_downloads was on: archiveService names
each ZIP entry after the ORIGINAL filename while the manifest stays keyed by
the internal photos.filename, so the lookup misses every entry.

Ported as one unit rather than piecemeal, since a third variant of this
function helps nobody:

- index by original_filename, and by sanitizeForZipEntry(original_filename)
  as the ZIP would actually have written it
- two passes, canonical names claimed before any alias, so the result no
  longer depends on manifest iteration order (the archive query has no
  ORDER BY)
- a name two rows both claim is dropped rather than guessed — including the
  canonical/alias clash, where which file the ZIP emitted depends on a
  naming mode the manifest does not record
- globals count as existing, event-scoped rows win over them, and the global
  arm requires event_id IS NULL so one event's legacy row can't be adopted by
  another event's restore
- an invented category is explicitly is_global false; the column defaults to
  TRUE, so a restore was leaking this event's naming into every gallery
- categories resolve inside the !existingPhoto branch, so a restore that
  skips its inserts stops creating unused rows from stale manifest names
- a duplicate category name is logged and resolved by lowest id instead of
  engine order

main-only code is untouched: the face-data cleanup (#1074, #1132) and the
uploaded_at toISOString fix both survive — stable still has the bare
new Date() there, which is the documented Jest/SQLite landmine and worth a
separate look.

Paul Nothaft 1ef2b3c85b feat(events): publish without notifying, and send the gallery email later (#1235) (#1241)
* feat(events): publish without notifying, and send the gallery email later (#1235)

Publishing queued the gallery_created email whenever any customer email
existed, with no opt-out. A photographer working with a client who has no
address yet — the Instagram-team case in discussion #1086 — had to type their
OWN address into the required field, publish, receive the client-facing email
themselves, and hand the link over by DM. Turning off
`event_require_customer_email` is not the answer either: that is global, and
the same photographer usually does collect addresses.

Two halves, because a checkbox alone is only half a workflow:

- `notify_customer` on publish, default TRUE. Absent means notify, so the v1
  API, an older frontend and any script keep behaving exactly as before. When
  false the gallery goes live and nothing is queued — not the gallery_created
  email, not the assigned-customer-account notice, not WhatsApp. Publishing
  still logs activity and still fires the event.published webhook, because
  those describe a state change rather than a message to a customer.

- POST /:id/send-gallery-email for an already-published gallery. Deliberately
  not restricted to galleries published quietly: re-sending is a normal thing
  to want (spam folder, wrong address since corrected) and refusing would push
  people to unpublish and republish, changing gallery state to work around a
  mail problem. Refused for a draft, whose link would not work yet, and for an
  event with no recipient.

The email composition is now one helper shared by both, so an email sent a
week later is identical to one sent at publish.

UI: a checkbox in the publish dialog (checked by default, hidden when nobody
would be notified anyway), and a "Send gallery email" action on published
galleries that have a recipient. The password field follows the checkbox —
unchecking it means nothing is being sent, so there is no plaintext to carry
and no reason to demand it. EN + DE strings.

7 integration tests. Two fail without the change, verified by forcing
notifyCustomer true and re-running; the rest pin the default, the draft and
no-recipient refusals, and that a gallery with no recipient still publishes.

* fix(events): make the publish dialog description follow the checkbox (#1235)

Caught by screenshotting it. With "Send the gallery email now" unchecked, the
paragraph above still read "...and sends the notification email to
tina@example.com" while the control directly beneath it said nothing would be
sent — the dialog contradicted itself at exactly the moment the admin is
deciding whether anything goes out.

It now reads "No email will be sent — you can send it later from this page."
when the box is clear. EN + DE.

* fix(events): close six gaps in publish-quietly found by external review (#1235)

TWO CORRECTIONS TO MY OWN VERIFICATION FIRST. `npx tsc --noEmit` in frontend/
is a NO-OP — the root tsconfig is solution-style with references and no
include, so it checks nothing. Every "tsc clean" I claimed on this branch came
from that. The real check, `tsc -p tsconfig.app.json`, showed two TS2339s I had
introduced: `event.host_email` does not exist on the frontend Event type, which
the admin API normalises away. Both recipient checks now use `customer_email`.

PASSWORD ON SEND-LATER. The action promised to send the link and password but
always called the endpoint without one, so a protected gallery got the
"(set at creation)" sentinel — unusable — and this is most needed right after a
quiet publish, the path that never collects a password. New
SendGalleryEmailDialog asks for it, same shape and reasoning as the publish
dialog (#627). Galleries with no password skip the field.

WHATSAPP-ONLY GALLERIES COULD NOT PUBLISH QUIETLY. willNotify ignored
customer_phone, so a phone-only gallery hid the opt-out AND told the admin
nothing would be sent — while publish queued the WhatsApp anyway. Phone now
counts, with its own description line.

ASSIGNED-ACCOUNT NOTICES COULD NOT BE SENT LATER. The dialog promised it; the
endpoint rejected anything without an inline recipient. It now falls through to
the same customer-account path publish uses.

EDITORS COULD NOT SEE THE ACTION. The send button was nested inside the
events.archive gate, so the default editor role — events.edit, no archive —
never saw a button for an endpoint it is allowed to call. Separate gates now.

DEAD LINKS. The endpoint only checked is_draft, so an archived, inactive or
expired gallery would send a link the gallery middleware rejects. All three are
refused with a reason.

9 backend tests (2 new), 22 across the event suites. eslint clean on every
changed frontend file; crud.js keeps its 2 pre-existing errors.

* fix(events): persist the send-later password, and fix a long-standing isGalleryPublic misuse (#1235)

Round 2 of external review.

THE EMAIL COULD CARRY A PASSWORD THE GALLERY REJECTS. The send-later dialog
invites "or pick a new one", but the route queued that plaintext without
touching password_hash — so the customer got credentials that do not open the
gallery. Worse than the sentinel it replaced, because it looks usable. The
route now hashes and persists first, exactly as publish does.

isGalleryPublic TAKES A VALUE, NOT AN EVENT — and this is pre-existing.
normalizeRequirePassword returns its default for anything that is not a
boolean/number/string, so isGalleryPublic(event) is ALWAYS false and
`requirePassword` was always true. The publish dialog on main has demanded a
password for public galleries for exactly this reason. Both call sites now
pass event.require_password. Fixing the older one alongside mine rather than
leaving a broken copy one line above a fixed one.

ASSIGNED-ACCOUNT GALLERIES HAD NO BUTTON. The route falls through to the
customer-account notice when there is no inline email, and the publish dialog
promises that notice can be sent later — but the button only appeared with a
customer_email, making the promise unkeepable.

WHATSAPP CLAIM SOFTENED. Publish only queues WhatsApp when the config exists
and is enabled, which the dialog cannot see. It now says the customer is
notified there "if WhatsApp is configured" rather than asserting a send.

10 backend tests (1 new, covering the rehash). eslint clean on every changed
frontend file; crud.js keeps its 2 pre-existing errors.

* fix(events): don't reset the password for an account-only notice, hide unusable actions (#1235)

Round 3 of external review. The first is a harm my own round-2 fix introduced.

PASSWORD RESET FOR NOTHING. Round 2 persisted the supplied password before
knowing which mail would go out. For a protected gallery with no inline email
but assigned accounts, the dialog still demands a password, the hash was
rewritten, and then the fallback sent customer_gallery_assigned — which links
to the customer portal and never mentions a password. Net effect: the live
gallery password silently changed and everyone holding the old one was locked
out, in exchange for nothing. It is now persisted only when the mail that
carries it is actually being sent.

BUTTONS THE BACKEND WOULD REFUSE. The send action rendered for expired and
inactive galleries, and counted assigned accounts the endpoint filters out as
inactive — walking the admin through a dialog to reach a generic error toast.
The card now mirrors the endpoint's eligibility rules, and only active accounts
count toward having a recipient.

11 backend tests (1 new, pinning that the hash is untouched on the account
path), 24 across the event suites. tsc and eslint clean on the changed files.

* fix(events): make the send-later action agree with what the endpoint will do

Three findings from an external review round, all the same shape: the UI
predicted the endpoint's behaviour and got it wrong.

GET /admin/events/:id mapped customer_accounts without is_active, so the
"only ACTIVE accounts count" filter in OverviewTab compared undefined and
excluded nothing. A gallery whose only assignments were deactivated showed
the send action, and the endpoint then filtered every recipient and
returned 400. is_active is exposed now, and the count applies the same
predicate the fallback uses — active AND holding an address.

is_active is coerced through toBoolean rather than compared with === false.
On the default SQLite backend it comes back as 0, and 0 === false is false,
so an inactive gallery kept offering a send that parseBooleanInput then
rejected. Same class as #1028.

The password prompt is gated on there being an inline recipient. With no
customer_email the backend takes the account fallback, which sends
customer_gallery_assigned — a portal link that never mentions a password —
and deliberately skips the rehash. Asking for one there blocked the send
behind a six-character value nothing consumes, and the dialog's promise
that it would be rehashed was false.

Frontend suite: 291 passed. tsc and eslint clean.

* fix(events): don't mail a portal link to a customer who cannot sign in

Round-2 finding from the external review.

A passive customer — created directly and never invited — is an active
account with a real address whose password_hash IS NULL. The account
fallback happily mailed it customer_gallery_assigned, which links to
/customer/dashboard, and customerAuth rejects login without a hash: the link
goes to a door that will not open. Worse than failing, the route counted it
and reported success, so the admin believed the customer had been told.

getAssignmentsForEvent now derives can_sign_in (the predicate, never the
hash) and the three call sites share one canReceiveGalleryNotice helper —
publish, send-later, and the payload the UI predicts from all have to agree
or the button appears and then 400s. The UI mirrors it.

Sending passive customers an invitation instead of skipping them is the
better product answer, and a separate feature. Refusing visibly beats a
silent non-delivery in the meantime.

Test asserts the refusal; it fails without the can_sign_in arm.

Marian 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 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 tina@example.com
and Tina@Example.com. /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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

* 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 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 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'. A zero-row update now reports itself and the caller re-reads, bounded at three passes, throwing rather than reporting a success that did not happen.

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.

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 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.
