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.

Original: feat: enhance security logging and ensure rate limit blocks are properly tracked
- Add comprehensive logging for rate limit blocks with full request details
- IP address (with proper proxy detection), user agent, headers, timestamps
- Rate limit info (current count, limit, remaining, reset time)
- Separate tracking for auth vs general endpoints
- Enhance authentication failure logging
- JWT validation failures with detailed error info
- Admin auth attempts without token
- Failed token validation with user context
- All events include IP, path, method, user agent
- Improve Winston logger configuration for production
- Add automatic log rotation (10MB errors, 50MB combined)
- Create separate security.log for auth/rate limit events
- Ensure logs directory exists automatically
- Add structured JSON format for log aggregation
- Support container logging with LOG_TO_CONSOLE env var
- Create comprehensive documentation
- Security logging guide with examples
- Monitoring recommendations
- Configuration reference
- Add test script to verify logging functionality
All rate limit settings remain configurable via admin panel:
- Window duration, max requests, auth limits
- Skip authenticated requests option
- Public endpoints only option
