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 f0e6d2dfb1 fix: enforce gallery access and consolidate gallery workflows (#1357)
Harden gallery authentication and authorization, consolidate gallery workflows, and prevent token-bearing URLs from leaking through nginx request error logs.

Paul Nothaft a7d0972b13 fix(security): make the CSS sanitizer's remote-URL block actually block
sanitizeCSS "blocked" a remote url() by prefixing it with a
/* BLOCKED URL */ COMMENT and leaving the URL in place. CSS comments are
discarded during tokenization, so the declaration a browser parsed still
carried the live URL — while adminCssTemplates returned
sanitization_warnings claiming it had been stopped. Protection that
reports success is worse than none, which is why it survived review.

Scope is narrow: sanitizeCss (lowercase, the public-site path) never
included the pattern and permits remote URLs by design — a test now pins
that. Only sanitizeCSS (uppercase) was affected; outside this repo's
newsletter branch its sole caller is adminCssTemplates.js.

Migration 200 is required, not cosmetic: gallery.js serves
css_templates.css_content VERBATIM as text/css and does not re-sanitize on
read, so fixing the write path alone would leave every existing template
serving its URL forever.

Review follow-ups replaced the regex with a small three-state lexer
(comment / string / identifier) over the RAW text, after five further
bypasses: a ")" inside a quoted url(), CSS escapes (u\72l), the HTML
comment strip JOINING tokens into a live url() after the scan, an escaped
quote desynchronising the scan, and a quote inside a comment. Escapes are
decoded only to decide, never to rewrite — a clean input now round-trips
byte-identical, which also keeps unaffected rows out of the migration's
write path.

Severity is low (writing a template needs branding.edit) but the harm is
a gallery visitor's IP reaching a third party from a page the operator
believes carries no remote requests.

Paul Nothaft 4515632300 fix(migrations): judge each German field on its own in migration 195
repairGerman gated subject, body_html and body_text on body_html alone, the
same defect Codex found in migration 194: an admin who had translated only
the subject lost it the moment the HTML still matched English, and down()
is a deliberate no-op, so the loss was unrecoverable. Each field is now
judged independently for both the translations row and the legacy _de
columns, matching 194's corrected pattern. Two tests pin the two
directions (translated subject over English body, and the reverse).

Paul Nothaft 41e1de7818 fix(email): repair and seed the gallery lifecycle templates
Correction: the reported premise held for only one of the three templates,
verified by running the core migration set against an empty database.

- expiration_warning is German-is-English on every fresh install, exactly as
  reported. Repaired with migration 194's pattern verbatim.
- gallery_expired and archive_complete are NOT German-is-English -- they do
  not exist at all. Their master rows are inserted only by migrations/legacy/
  010+020, which never run on a fresh install, so 075/099/106/108 seeded zero
  translations for them (they key off a master row that is not there). A
  fresh install's email_templates holds 17 keys and neither is among them.
  The consequence is worse than a translation gap: expirationChecker's
  sendGalleryExpiredEmails and archiveService's completion mail both hit
  "Email template not found", retry three times and die silently in
  email_queue on every expiry and every archive.

So 195 also seeds those two (master row + en/de translations + category),
but only when the master row is absent -- it never overwrites. English
follows legacy 028, which emailProcessor's own comments call the shipped
copy; German follows legacy 026's wording. Both are restructured into the
plain unstyled shape the other core-seeded templates use, so wrapEmailHtml's
configurable palette governs styling rather than hard-coded hex. The
support-contact line is wrapped in {{#if support_email}} because
getSupportEmail() can return ''.

196 adds the {{#if welcome_message}} block that nl/pt/ru/fr/es/sl already
have in gallery_created but en and de lack, so the photographer's personal
note was silently dropped for those two locales even though the value is
passed at send time. safeTemplateReplace does resolve {{#if}} before variable
substitution, so this is a real conditional -- there is a test rendering the
migrated body both ways. HTML body only, matching the other locales:
emailProcessor rewrites welcome_message through formatWelcomeMessage
(escape + nl2br) once for both bodies, so the text part would print literal
<br /> and &amp;.

Both migrations keep 194's conservative condition -- rewrite only while the
German is still byte-identical to English or empty -- so admin-edited and
legacy-translated installs are untouched. Idempotent, guarded, no-op down().

Known gap, documented in 195's header: the two newly seeded templates get
en/de only. nl/pt/ru/fr/es/sl fall back to en via processTemplate's fallback
chain, which is strictly better than today's hard failure but is not real
localisation.

Paul Nothaft 0ae424ff42 test(migrations): pin migration 194's per-field guard
The per-field fix landed without a test for the case it exists for: an
admin-translated subject over a still-English body, and the reverse.

Paul Nothaft 73b08a7b5c fix(email): give gallery_created a real German translation
translations.de for gallery_created was the English copy word for word, while
nl/pt/ru/fr/es/sl are all localized. This is the mail sent on every gallery
creation, so German-default installs have been silently mailing English.

Root cause chain, fresh installs only: 001_init seeds the English template;
059 introduces the multilingual columns and fills subject_de/body_html_de/
body_text_de from their _en counterparts (its own comment: "Copy to German as
default"); 075 then materialises exactly those columns as the `de` row. The
real German only ever existed in migrations/legacy/026, and run-migrations.js
runs core/ only for fresh installs -- so every install created since 059 has
the English-as-German row.

A code-only fix would have changed nothing: knex will not re-run 059/075, so
existing installs would keep the bad row forever. Fixed as a content migration
following the repo's precedent for template repairs (094, 172).

Conservative about what it touches: the German row is rewritten only while it
is still byte-identical to English (or empty) -- precisely the broken state --
so a legacy install whose German came from 026, or any admin-edited template,
is left alone. Also repairs the legacy _de columns, which are still
emailProcessor's fallback path. Idempotent, hasTable-guarded, no-op down()
(reverting would restore English-as-German).

Placeholder parity with the English original is exact and test-asserted:
host_name, event_name, event_date, gallery_link, gallery_password, expiry_date.

Two related gaps found but deliberately not fixed, both outside the reported
bug: expiration_warning, gallery_expired and archive_complete are German-is-
English on fresh installs through the identical 059 mechanism (legacy 026
fixed all four). And nl/pt/ru/fr/es/sl additionally wrap a
{{#if welcome_message}} block that the English original lacks, even though
welcome_message is passed at send time -- so EN and now DE drop the
photographer's personal note. That is an English-side gap needing its own
decision.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Third review round.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two things had to move with it:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two things worth review attention:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sweep against ground truth (5 identities):

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

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

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

* fix(faces): keep the mobile filter row inside the viewport (#1074)

At 390px the photo count and Clear link were pushed against the right edge
by ml-auto and clipped. Only apply it from the sm breakpoint up, where
there is room; below that they flow after the chips.

Found by screenshotting the real thing on an iPhone-sized viewport.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ra4hcsYiKuQLbbRsg6EjAc

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TWO BUGS THE BROWSER CAUGHT, both invisible to tsc:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

37 face tests still green after the change.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

47 face tests green.

Paul Nothaft 7c0c0a5b7f fix(security): enforce project ownership on project + project-email routes (GHSA-wrg5, GHSA-93x4) (#960)
* fix(security): enforce project ownership (GHSA-wrg5, GHSA-93x4)

Project routes authorized on generic events.view / events.edit with NO
ownership check, so an editor-like admin could enumerate, read, update and
aggregate projects belonging to other admins' events. The project email
endpoints keyed on an email_queue id alone — any admin with events.view /
email.send could preview, resend, cancel or retry ANY queued mail by walking
ids.

The earlier 'needs a migration, deferred' assessment was wrong in one
direction and right in another: ownership IS derivable transitively via
events.project_id -> events.created_by, but only for projects that already
have a linked event. A brand-new EMPTY project has no derivable owner, which
is exactly where the create -> attach flow starts. So migration 167 adds
projects.created_by (backfilled from the single linked event owner, skipping
ambiguous multi-owner projects) and createProject finally persists the adminId
it was already being passed.

- ownedProjectIds(): union of the stored owner and the transitive path, so
  pre-167 rows and new empty projects both resolve. Reads created_by
  defensively so an instance that hasn't run 167 falls back to the transitive
  rule instead of throwing.
- requireProjectOwnership on detail/update/attach-event/attach-quote/
  attach-contract/overview; list filtered by an id allowlist (empty array
  means 'owns nothing' and must return no rows, hence null-vs-[] care).
- POST /:id/events also validates the INCOMING eventId — owning the project
  is not enough, or an editor could pull a foreign event in and read its
  rolled-up documents via /:id/overview.
- Queued-email routes scoped via email_queue.event_id. CRM document mail has
  event_id NULL and no ownable parent here, so a scoped caller is denied
  rather than guessed into access. 404 (not 403) so it isn't an id oracle.

Note: adminEmail.js:315/332 let any email.view/edit admin archive or delete
any email_queue row — the same class, pre-existing and outside these two
advisories. Left untouched and reported rather than silently widened.

* fix(security): codex round 2 — make the stored project owner authoritative (GHSA-wrg5)

The first predicate union'd 'any linked event I can see' with the stored
owner, which opened two holes:

- A project owned by admin B containing ONE legacy ownerless event became
  readable by every admin — and /:id/overview aggregates B's other events,
  invoices and emails, so a single legacy event exposed the whole project.
- Migration 167 deliberately leaves multi-owner (ambiguous) projects NULL
  rather than guessing an owner. A NULL owner was then treated as
  'everyone's', so exactly those mixed projects became globally accessible.

Now: the stored created_by wins outright, and a project without a usable
stored owner only derives access when EVERY linked event is accessible (and at
least one exists). A created_by pointing at a hard-deleted admin degrades to
'no usable owner' so the project falls back to its events instead of being
locked away — no ON DELETE SET NULL migration needed. A project with neither a
usable owner nor linked events stays super_admin-only: failing closed beats
failing open, and a super_admin can reassign it.

Also returns a knex SUBQUERY rather than a materialised id list, so a large
project count can't hit the driver's bind-parameter limit.

* fix(security): codex round 3 — enforce deal-lineage ownership on project attach (GHSA-wrg5)

requireProjectOwnership vets only the DESTINATION project, while attaching a
quote or contract cascades through linkDealToProject — which re-points every
event the deal produced into that project. An editor could therefore create an
empty project of their own, attach another admin's quote, and pull that admin's
events (plus the invoices, emails and gallery that roll up with them) into a
project they own and can read via /:id/overview. The single-customer guard did
not stand in the way: an unassigned project ADOPTS the deal's customer rather
than rejecting it.

linkDealToProject now refuses to move lineage events the actor cannot own, and
assignDocument cascades BEFORE stamping the document so a refused attach leaves
nothing half-applied (the old order committed the foreign document into the
caller's project and only then declined the cascade). The quote/contract
create+update paths, which reach the same cascade with an arbitrary project_id,
thread their adminId through as well; isSuperAdmin() resolves the role for them
and fails closed when it cannot.

Events are the only ownership signal a deal carries — quotes and contracts have
no created_by in this schema — so a lineage that produced no event still cannot
be attributed. That is a property of the CRM model, noted in the code.

* docs(security): drop the stale ownership JSDoc left by the rebase (GHSA-wrg5)

Rebasing onto main (which had gained scopeEventsQuery from #957) replayed the
round-1 doc block above round-2's replacement, leaving a comment that describes
the ORIGINAL union rule — "a project is the caller's when … it has at least one
linked event they own" — directly above the code that deliberately no longer
does that. That union is the hole round 2 closed; a comment asserting it is
worse than none.

Paul Nothaft da855cfef9 fix(security): scope dashboard stats/analytics/activity to the caller's events (GHSA-c2jj, gqx7, jhcf) (#958)
* fix(security): scope dashboard endpoints to the caller's events (GHSA-c2jj, gqx7, jhcf)

/dashboard/stats, /analytics and /activity are gated only by analytics.view,
which the editor role holds — but the events LIST restricts editors to their
own rows (adminEvents/crud.js: roleName === 'editor' -> created_by =
admin.id). So an editor saw instance-wide totals, and via /analytics
topGalleries other admins' gallery NAMES and SLUGS (the public gallery URL
component), for events invisible to them everywhere else.

- stats: all 10 aggregates scoped (events by id, photos/access_logs by
  event_id).
- analytics: all 8 series/aggregates scoped, including topGalleries. The
  external tracker device breakdown reports instance-wide data with no event
  filter, so a scoped caller falls through to the access_logs heuristic
  instead, which IS scoped.
- activity: feed scoped. activity_logs.event_id is nullable and the join is a
  leftJoin, so system-level rows (logins, settings changes) are deliberately
  excluded for a scoped caller — those are precisely the cross-admin actions
  the advisory is about.

Scoping keys on 'editor' to mirror the events list exactly, so the admin
role's dashboard is unchanged. filterOwnedEventIds uses the broader
'!== super_admin' rule; the two conventions disagree in this codebase and
matching the list is the no-regression choice.

* fix(security): codex round 2 — fix activity misattribution, scope via subquery (GHSA-jhcf, c2jj, gqx7)

- expenseService passed adminId as logActivity's THIRD positional parameter,
  which is eventId — so admin ids were being written into
  activity_logs.event_id. The /activity scoping filter trusts that column, and
  admin/event id sequences overlap, so a foreign admin's expense metadata could
  surface under an editor's event. All 11 calls now pass null for eventId and
  the admin as the actor, which is what they meant.
- Dashboard scoping now uses a SUBQUERY instead of pluck()+whereIn. An editor
  owning more events than the driver's bind-parameter limit (~999 SQLite,
  65535 Postgres) would have turned all three endpoints into 500s once each id
  became a placeholder; below the limit it still re-sent the full list for each
  of the ~10 aggregates per request.

Note: two billInboundNow() calls also end in ', adminId)' but have an unrelated
signature — verified untouched.

* fix(security): codex round 3 — correct legacy accounting activity rows (GHSA-jhcf)

expenseService called logActivity(type, metadata, adminId), but logActivity's
third positional parameter is eventId. Every expense / incoming-invoice entry
therefore stored the ACTING ADMIN'S ID in activity_logs.event_id.

Round 2 scoped the activity feed with
`WHERE activity_logs.event_id IN (SELECT id FROM events WHERE created_by = me)`,
which does nothing about the rows already on disk. Admin ids and event ids are
small integers from the same range, so on any upgraded instance an editor who
owns the event whose id happens to equal another admin's id is served that
admin's accounting activity, verbatim metadata included — GHSA-jhcf, still
live. Migration 168 re-attributes those rows (event_id holds exactly the actor
id that was lost) and then clears event_id so the scope predicate can no longer
match them. All ten activity types are emitted by expenseService and nothing
else, so no row with a genuine event_id is touched.

Also: the round-2 rewrite passed `{ type: 'admin', id: adminId }`
unconditionally, which stored actor_type='admin' with a null id for the
automated mailbox intake (emailIntakeService calls recordInboundDocument with
no adminId). adminActor() restores 'system' attribution for those.
