Four related fixes on the admin upload/photo path.
B5 -- PATCH /photos/:photoId and POST /photos/bulk-update took any
parseInt(...) > 0 straight into the update with no existence or scope check,
so a photo could be moved into another event's category. The upload route
already validated `event_id = X OR is_global` per #500/#525; extracted that
query as findScopedCategory() and used it on all three routes so the 400 body
is byte-identical. 0/negative/'individual'/'collage'/null still clear without
a lookup, so the clear path costs no extra query.
B9 -- three distinct temp-file leaks, not one. The validator's size branch
never unlinked; the cleanup lived in the final handler, unreachable on any
400; and multer's `destination` callback runs per file and overwrote
req.tempUploadPath, so even the success path only ever removed the last
file's directory. Now: discardUploadedFiles() runs on every 4xx and the 500
(ENOENT tolerated, and files are only dropped when the whole request is being
rejected, so the passing path is untouched); cleanup registered before multer
so it also covers multer's own LIMIT_FILE_SIZE return; one directory per
request.
B8 -- the admin uploader filtered on MIME only, so an oversized file was
uploaded in full before the server's 400. Mirrors UserPhotoUpload's existing
per-file toast-and-drop.
C4 -- general_max_file_size_mb was a single cap for photos and videos, so the
50MB default meant admins could not upload ordinary video without also
raising the photo limit. Adds general_max_video_size_mb (default 500MB,
clamped by the same 10GB MAX_ALLOWED_FILE_SIZE_MB ceiling, read per request,
60s cache), editable in Settings -> General.
Photo uploads are protected from regressing by keeping multer's type-blind
limit at max(photoCap, videoCap) and moving the per-kind decision into
validateUploadContent, where file.mimetype exists. It 400s with the existing
message shape, so an oversized photo is still rejected with the identical
body it produced when multer did the rejecting.
Known gap: chunked-upload/init still applies the photo cap to video. Making
it video-aware would change an existing assertion that pins a 200MB video
init being rejected under a 1MB general cap. No component calls that path
today and the direction is strict rather than a bypass, so it is left as-is.
Guest video uploads still share the single cap in gallery.js.
Refs testplan REPORT.md B5, B8, B9, C4.
The admin's Settings → General → "Max File Size (MB)" value
(general_max_file_size_mb) never applied to guest gallery uploads — the guest
route hardcoded multer's per-file cap at 50MB (gallery.js) and the guest UI
hardcoded the same 50MB client-side guard and "max 50MB" hint text. So a guest
could not upload a large video even when the admin raised the limit (reported by
mat1990dj on #613). Same class as the file-count miss fixed in #614, for size.
- uploadSettings.js: new getMaxFileSizeMb()/getMaxFileSizeBytes() reading
general_max_file_size_mb (default 50MB, cached 60s, clamped to a 10GB ceiling),
mirroring getMaxFilesPerUpload.
- gallery.js (guest upload): multer limits.fileSize now resolves from the
setting; a LIMIT_FILE_SIZE error returns an actionable "max N MB" message.
- publicSettings.js: exposes general_max_file_size_mb (default 50) so the gallery
UI can render the real limit and guard client-side before an oversized POST.
- UserPhotoUpload.tsx: reads the limit, uses it for the client-side size guard,
and passes it to the requirements hint. The "max 50MB" literal in
upload.fileRequirements is now interpolated ({{sizeLimit}}) across all 8
locales; adds upload.fileTooLarge (en/de; others fall back to en).
Scope: guest path only (the reported gap). The admin path keeps its generous
10GB cap — admins are trusted and default 50MB would otherwise regress large
admin video uploads. Format and batch-size limits already work correctly and are
untouched. Adds SQLite-backed unit tests for the new getter.
Verified end-to-end on a booted instance: admin sets 500MB → persisted → public
settings exposes 500 → guest multer sources its cap from it.
