Refined from the original #530 framing after a dry-run uncovered that the
"bootstrap vs migration chain" diff produces mostly noise — most of the
~200 lines of difference are expected (migrations add new tables and
columns over time). initializeDatabase() isn't a parallel path that
diverges from migrations; it's invoked by migration 001 itself, so every
normal install/upgrade runs both.
The genuine drift hazard surfaced during the dry-run: a DB with the
modern bootstrap tables but an empty `migrations` table (which happens
when a backup was restored that lost the migrations table, or someone
invoked initializeDatabase() outside the runner, or the DB was moved
between systems without copying the migrations row) fails to upgrade.
Failure mode:
1. detectExistingSchema sees the bootstrap tables + empty migrations,
treats it as an "existing deployment".
2. Runs the legacy chain first.
3. legacy/008 renames email_templates.subject → subject_en.
4. core/029 (later in the chain) inserts email templates referencing
the pre-rename `subject` column.
5. Postgres rejects: column "subject" doesn't exist; subject_en is
NOT NULL with no default.
Fresh installs avoid this because they only run core/* (and core/059
handles the rename AFTER core/029 has inserted). Real legacy upgrades
avoid it because their migrations table already records legacy/008–028
as applied historically.
Fix in detectExistingSchema:
- Detect the modern bootstrap fingerprint (photo_categories + cms_pages
both present, which initializeDatabase produces as part of the
consolidated post-004-era bootstrap).
- When matched, enumerate every file in migrations/legacy/ and mark
each as applied. This puts the recovery state on the same code path
fresh installs use — only core migrations run, in core order.
- Real legacy upgrades that already have entries in the migrations
table hit no-op markings (markMigrationAsApplied skips duplicates),
so their behaviour is unchanged.
New CI workflow (`.github/workflows/schema-drift.yml`):
- Boots fresh postgres.
- Seeds via `node -e \"require('./src/database/db').initializeDatabase()\"`
— reproduces the recovery state in one line.
- Runs `npm run migrate:safe`.
- Asserts: precondition (bootstrap fingerprint + empty migrations
table), migrate:safe exits 0, final schema has ≥40 tables (soft floor,
not exact pin so future migrations don't force workflow edits),
legacy migrations marked applied (confirms the fingerprint check
actually fired vs. the chain silently bailing).
- Triggers only on PRs that touch backend/migrations/**,
src/database/db.js, knexfile.js, or this workflow.
Manually verified end-to-end before this commit:
Before fix: migrate:safe dies at core/029 with NOT NULL violation
on email_templates.subject_en (17/48 tables present).
After fix: 82 migrations applied + 27 marked applied = 109 total,
final state has all 48 tables matching fresh-install.
Issue body in #530 has been updated to match this refined scope.
Refs: #530, #484, #519
Contributed by @AloePacci on issue #510. Drops their es.json into the
existing locale set, registers Spanish in the language selector with a
flag SVG matching the inline style of the other six locales, and
extends the email pipeline so es-language guests receive a localised
email subject/body where available.
Coverage:
- frontend/src/i18n/locales/es.json — 2132 translated keys. ~824
EN keys are not yet covered; i18next's `fallbackLng: 'en'` handles
those at runtime so the UI never renders a missing key. fr/nl/pt/ru
have a similar (smaller) gap and ship the same way.
- LanguageSelector.tsx — added the ESFlag inline SVG (red/yellow/red
horizontal bands, official #AA151B + #F1BF00; no coat of arms to
stay consistent with the other simple flag components) and a new
entry in SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES.
- emailProcessor.js — added .es to the domain-language heuristic, and
an `es:` row to the three inline-translated snippets
(passwordSecurityI18n / noPasswordI18n / passwordSetAtCreationI18n).
- 106_seed_es_email_template_translations.js (new) — idempotent
seeder for the four customer-facing templates AloePacci translated:
gallery_created, expiration_warning, gallery_expired, archive_complete.
Mirrors the pattern from 099. Template keys without an `es` row fall
back to `en` via the existing resolution chain in
emailProcessor.processTemplate — no functional gap, just untranslated
copy until someone fills them in.
What I deliberately did NOT take from the contribution: the proposed
in-place edit of migration 075 (history mutation — won't reseed for
existing installs anyway) and the whitespace/`gallery_list_html`-drop
churn in emailProcessor.js (would have regressed the #354 follow-up).
The semantic additions from those files are preserved via 106 and the
targeted edits above.
Regression of #208. PR #214 (commit 02a46e0, re-merged at 9b7495e)
shipped the configurable `general_max_upload_batch_size_mb` setting so
users behind Cloudflare Tunnel and other reverse proxies with
per-request size caps could lower the chunked-upload size below their
proxy's limit. Six days later the "Merge main into beta for
release/beta-to-main" commit (28793bb) resolved its conflict by
keeping main's older tree — which silently deleted the migration
(072), the setting input on Settings → General, the i18n strings, the
`useSettingsState` field, and the read in PhotoUpload.tsx, putting the
hardcoded 500MB chunk back. Galleries fronted by Cloudflare have
quietly been broken on batch uploads since then.
Re-applying exactly the same change set:
- `backend/migrations/core/072_add_max_upload_batch_size.js`
recreated, with a comment pointing at the regression in case the
same merge accident happens again.
- `frontend/src/components/admin/PhotoUpload.tsx` line 168 now reads
the setting from query cache and falls back to 95MB (Cloudflare-safe
headroom under 100MB).
- `useSettingsState.ts`, `GeneralTab.tsx`, `en.json`, `de.json` —
added the field to the state type + defaults + load path + the
Site-Configuration input.
Existing installs are safe either way:
- Ran original 072 then lost the file: migrations table still has the
filename, so the runner skips re-applying. The setting row in
`app_settings` is also untouched (the deletion was source-only, no
down migration ran). Now the new code starts reading it again.
- Installed after the regression: migrations runner picks up the new
072 normally and seeds the setting at 95.
Two latent install-time issues that emitted scary postgres ERROR lines
on every fresh start but didn't actually break anything. MrGabri flagged
them after #494 had already cleared the FK-ordering crash.
1. Migration 035 builds three `CREATE INDEX` statements against
`backup_runs(created_at, …)`, but 029 creates the table with
`started_at` and no `created_at`. The wrapping try/catch silently
swallowed the resulting `column "created_at" does not exist` ERROR,
so the migration "succeeded" without ever creating the indexes.
Switched 035 to reference `started_at` (same chronological semantics)
and added migration 105 to create the same indexes idempotently for
deployments whose 035 already ran and silently failed.
2. `run-migrations-safe.js` snapshots `appliedFilenames` *before*
`detectExistingSchema()` runs. When `detectExistingSchema()` inserts a
row for e.g. `004_add_categories_and_cms.js` (because its tables exist
from a partially-completed prior install), the subsequent migration
loop still doesn't know about that insert, attempts the legacy
migration anyway, and its transaction-internal
`insert into migrations` conflicts with the row already there.
Re-query the applied set after detectExistingSchema so the loop sees
the corrected snapshot.
No behavioural change for healthy installs. New installs no longer log
the `column "created_at" does not exist` or `duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "migrations_filename_unique"` ERRORs.
Adds an opt-in lightbox preview tier so guests open photos against an
aspect-preserved ~1920px JPEG (~200–500 KB) instead of the full original
(often 5–12 MB). Originals are still served on Download.
Backend:
- imageProcessor: generatePreviewImage / isPreviewValid / ensurePreviewImage
using fit:'inside' + withoutEnlargement (longEdge 1920, q85, mozjpeg)
- migration 104: photos.preview_path + lightbox_preview_enabled setting
(off by default, JSON-stringified for SQLite/Postgres parity)
- GET /api/gallery/:slug/preview/:photoId — gallery-auth, lazy generation,
ETag based on mtime+photoId+watermarkHash
- preview_url surfaced in the photo response only when the toggle is on
- admin /thumbnails/regenerate-previews mirrors regenerate-thumbnails,
skipping videos
- backup walk + archive cleanup + photo-delete now include previews/
Frontend:
- PhotoLightbox uses photo.preview_url ?? photo.url (null-safe fallback)
- ThumbnailsTab gets a Lightbox Preview Tier card: opt-in toggle +
Regenerate All Previews button (gated until the toggle is on)
- en/de locale strings; nl/pt/ru/fr fall back to en
Tested end-to-end: 11 MB / 4000×3000 source → 985 KB / 1920×1440 preview,
381 ms first call, 7 ms cached, ~91% byte reduction.
The gallery promotional banner (#440) read as visually offset from
the gallery footer because:
- Footer used `container text-center px-4` (full container width,
centered text).
- Promo block used `container py-4 sm:py-6` with an inner
`max-w-3xl mx-auto` wrapper holding left-aligned text — a
narrower column with left-aligned content sitting in the
middle of the page.
Two issues compounded: the column was narrower than the footer AND
its text alignment differed. Reported by Rekoo-PS in #482 with a
screenshot showing the misalignment, with a request for an admin
alignment option.
Fix:
- Drop the inner max-w-3xl wrapper. Promo content now spans the
same .container width as the footer, eliminating the
narrower-column visual.
- Default text alignment changed from left → center to match the
footer.
- New `branding_promo_alignment` setting ('left' | 'center' | 'right',
default 'center'). Surfaced as a dropdown next to the existing
Position dropdown on the BrandingPage. Live preview block on the
BrandingPage mirrors the gallery render so admins see what
guests will see.
- Also replaced the no-op `prose-sm` prose-modifier with a real
`prose prose-sm` outer class so the existing `prose-a:text-accent`
modifier actually takes effect (it didn't before — modifiers
without an outer .prose are silently ignored by Tailwind
Typography).
Migration 103 seeds the new setting at 'center' so existing
installs that have a promo banner today see the corrected
alignment immediately on next deploy.

Background: galleryOgService already serves OG/Twitter Card meta tags
to social-crawler User-Agents (WhatsApp, Facebook, Slack, Telegram,
Discord, ~21 in total) for /gallery/:slug URLs. Today the og:image
is always the brand logo with the inline rationale "no protected
photo content".
#474 asked for a hero/cover photo preview. The trade-off is that any
URL embedded in og:image is fetched unauthenticated by every
link-preview crawler — so an opted-in image is effectively public
to anyone the gallery URL is shared to. Ship as a per-event boolean,
default FALSE, so existing galleries never start surfacing photos
without explicit admin intent.
Schema (migration 102):
- events.og_image_share_enabled BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE.
Backend:
- galleryOgService.buildOgMetadata: when opt-in is on AND a
hero_photo_id is set AND the photo has a generated thumbnail,
emit og:image as /og/gallery/:slug/cover. Falls back to the
brand logo on any miss (deleted hero, missing thumbnail, no
opt-in) so a half-configured gallery still gets a polished
preview rather than a broken-image src.
- galleryOgService.handleGalleryOgCover: new public endpoint that
streams the hero thumbnail. Validates slug shape, checks the
opt-in flag + hero presence + thumbnail existence; returns 404
on any failure. ETag = thumbnail mtime + photo id so a
regenerated thumb busts crawler caches. Cache-Control:
public, max-age=300 (short — admins shouldn't wait an hour for
a cover swap to land in chat previews).
- server.js: mount the new GET /og/gallery/:slug/cover route. The
existing nginx ^~ /og/gallery/ proxy block already covers it.
- adminEvents.js: validator + persistence on POST + PUT.
formatBoolean coercion so SQLite (0/1) and Postgres (boolean)
both behave correctly.
Frontend:
- Event type + UpdateEventData carry og_image_share_enabled.
- EventDetailsPage adds a checkbox under the HeroPhotoSelector,
disabled when no hero photo is picked. Help text deliberately
spells out the public-by-design consequence — admins shouldn't
flip this on for a sensitive gallery without realising what
they're sharing with link-preview crawlers.
Tests: 8 new in galleryOgService.shareImage.test.js — pin the
cover-vs-logo decision contract (3 cases) plus the defensive
fallbacks (deleted hero, missing thumbnail) and the 404 contract
on the cover endpoint (4 cases). The 404 tests assert that
ensureThumbnail() is NOT called when opt-in is off, so a future
refactor can't accidentally widen the unauthenticated cover
endpoint to expose a hero the admin hasn't shared.

Post-merge cleanups after #403 (customer portal):
- Renumber 090_backfill_photo_dimensions_v2.js → 096 to follow #403's
090_add_customer_accounts ... 095_add_customer_portal_flag chain.
- customerAccountsService.js: TODO note on must_change_password
documenting that the column is decorative until an admin
pre-loaded-password flow ships (mirrors what adminAuth does for
must_change_password today).
- customerAuth.js: doc-comment on the /login route explaining why the
customerPortal feature flag deliberately doesn't gate it (toggle off
hides UI, doesn't revoke existing-customer access; deactivate
individual accounts to lock out).
- 095_add_customer_portal_flag.js: header comment said "Migration 094"
(copy-paste from 094) — now matches the filename.
The aspect-aware gallery layouts (masonry / mosaic / justified) read
photo.width and photo.height to size each card to the source's real
proportions. Two import paths were inserting rows without those
fields, which forced MasonryGalleryLayout to fall back to a hard-coded
800×600 default — every card came out the same shape, so users
reported masonry as "always cropped to 1:1ish" no matter which
thumbnail fit mode they chose.
- fileWatcher.js: extract dims with sharp.metadata() before insert.
- s3AutoImporter.js: same, materialising a tmp local copy via
withLocalCopy so it works in S3 mode.
- migration 090: backfill any pre-existing rows with NULL dims
(skips videos, skips S3 deployments — those need the writer fix
alone since migrations cannot reach the storage backend).
- imageProcessor.js: change DEFAULT_THUMBNAIL_FIT from 'cover' to
'inside' (only kicks in when the seed setting is missing — existing
installs keep their saved value). Add UI tooltip recommending
'inside' for masonry/mosaic/justified, 'cover' for uniform grids.
i18n covers all six locales.
Implements the recurring-customer login surface from
the-luap/picpeak#354 plugged into the maintainer's
new feature-flag infrastructure (PR #443) instead of
a parallel toggle.
* New `customerPortal` feature flag (foundation flag for the
not-yet-built calendar/quotes/bills/messaging customer
surfaces). Defaults FALSE on fresh installs, TRUE on existing
installs (events > 0) via migration 095 so live customer
accounts don't disappear mid-deployment.
* Foundation schema: customer_accounts, customer_invitations,
event_customer_assignments, customer_password_resets, plus
RBAC permissions customers.view / .create / .delete granted
to super_admin + admin system roles.
* Backend: /api/admin/customers (invite, list, search, assign,
deactivate, reset password) + /api/customer/auth/* +
/api/customer/* (login, dashboard, accept-invite, reset).
Customer JWT bypass minted via
/api/customer/events/:slug/access-token so existing gallery
middleware stays untouched.
* Frontend: /customer/* route tree gated by RequireFeature flag
customerPortal, with login / dashboard / accept-invite /
reset pages and a customer-side sidebar layout.
/admin/customers and /admin/customers/:id gated identically.
* Settings → Features grows a "Customers" section with a
Customer portal card. The maintainer's Features tab stays the
single source of truth — no parallel Advanced features tab.
* CustomerAccountPicker on event create/edit forms hides itself
when the flag is off; backend ignores customer_account_ids in
that case instead of erroring the whole event save.

Combined footer overhaul:
- Per-CMS-page show_in_footer toggle (#441) — admins can hide
Impressum / Datenschutz from the gallery footer when an external
privacy / imprint URL is enough.
- Five social-media URL fields in branding settings (#441) — Facebook,
Instagram, WhatsApp, X/Twitter, YouTube. Empty string hides each
icon individually; the row is omitted when none are set.
- Promotional banner slot above or below the gallery footer (#440) —
global default authored as markdown in branding settings, plus a
three-way per-event override on the Edit Event form
(inherit / custom / off). Backend nulls promo_markdown automatically
when mode != 'custom' so stale text never persists.
Sanitization: marked with gfm/breaks → DOMPurify with a tight
allowlist (no img, no tables, no inline html). Post-process forces
target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" on every link so
admin-set URLs can't tab-nap the gallery context.
i18n covers all six locales (en/de/nl/pt/ru/fr).
Targets the beta branch.
Reorganises the admin sidebar around what users actually do, and adds a
single Features page that gates which feature surfaces appear in the
nav. Shrinks the main sidebar from 11 items to 4-6 (depending on
feature flags) and groups configuration screens into a single Settings
home with six logical sections.
Why
---
The current sidebar mixes three concerns: workspaces (Dashboard, Events,
Archives), feature surfaces (Analytics, Users), and configuration
screens that get touched maybe once a month (Email Settings, Branding,
Event Types, Backup, CMS Pages). That's 11 items, half of them config.
Backend
-------
- New `feature_flags` table (key, value, updated_at, updated_by).
Migration 088 detects existing-vs-fresh installs from the events
table:
* Existing install (events>0) → all 9 flags TRUE so nothing
vanishes from an admin's UI on upgrade.
* Fresh install (events=0) → spec defaults: galleries,
reminderEmails, analytics, userManagement TRUE; calendar,
calendarBooking, quotes, bills, messaging FALSE.
- New `/api/admin/feature-flags` (GET/PUT) under `settings.view` and
`settings.edit`. Server enforces the same dependency rules the
frontend does (galleries always TRUE, quotes=false → bills=false,
calendar=false → calendarBooking=false). PUT writes one
`feature_flags_updated` activity log row with the diff.
Frontend
--------
- `FeatureFlagsContext` provides `useFeatureFlags()` (with staged/save/
reset/isDirty) and `useFeatureEnabled(key)`. Mounted inside
AdminLayout so flag fetches carry the auth cookie. Source of truth
is the server response; staged is a local copy that the Features tab
edits and the Save button PUTs.
- `RequireFeature` route guard for /admin/analytics and /admin/users —
redirects to /admin/dashboard when the corresponding flag is OFF.
- AdminSidebar dropped from 11 to 6 items. Removed: Email Settings,
Branding, Event Types, Backup, CMS Pages (now Settings tabs).
Feature-gated: Analytics, Users.
- Old top-level routes (/admin/email, /admin/branding, /admin/event-
types, /admin/backup, /admin/cms) kept as <Navigate> redirects to
/admin/settings?tab=<key> so existing bookmarks don't 404.
- SettingsPage rewritten with a 6-group inner-nav (General /
Content & Appearance / Communication / Privacy & Security /
Integrations / System) and 19 tabs. New Features tab is the
default landing tab. URL ?tab=<key> roundtrips with state — deep
links and the back button work.
- FeaturesTab renders 9 cards across 5 sections. Toggles enabled for
Analytics + User Management (the two flags that gate sidebar items
in this PR). All other toggles disabled with a "Not yet available"
lockedReason — the cards still render so admins see the roadmap, but
the flag has no UI effect until the surface ships in its own PR. The
galleries card is locked TRUE per spec (foundation, can't be off).
- Live SidebarPreview reflects unsaved staged changes — admins see
what their sidebar will look like before they save.
- New i18n keys across all 5 locales (en, de, nl, pt, ru) for the
Features tab copy, the new Settings group labels, and the lifted
tab titles.
Verified end-to-end
-------------------
- Migration on this dev DB (existing install, 977 events): all 9 flags
set to TRUE.
- Migration on simulated fresh install (events table emptied): spec
defaults applied (5 OFF, 4 ON).
- Backend round-trip: GET → PUT → audit-log entry written, dependency
rule enforced (bills forced false when quotes=false even when bills=
true requested).
- UI Playwright spec: sidebar dropped 5 items, old top-level routes
redirect, Features tab is default, Galleries+Calendar+Quotes+Bills+
Messaging+ReminderEmails toggles disabled, Analytics+Users toggles
enabled, toggling Analytics off + saving updates the sidebar +
redirects /admin/analytics to /admin/dashboard.
- Smoke 13/13 still green; no regressions on existing flows.
The "Send Test Email" button on the Update Notifications settings page
called sendUpdateNotificationNow() — which bailed out with "No updates
available" when the instance was already on the latest version. Admins
on a current install had no way to verify their SMTP / recipient list
was working until an update happened to be pending. Reported in #418
by @Rekoo-PS.
Changes:
- Add migration 087: insert a dedicated `version_update_test` email
template (EN + DE, matching the existing version_update_available
convention) with copy that reads as a config-check rather than as a
real update notice. Subject prefixed with [TEST] so it's unambiguous
in the inbox. Variables: current_version, channel, recipient_email.
- Replace sendUpdateNotificationNow() with sendTestUpdateNotification()
in updateNotificationService.js. The new path:
- Always sends — no updateAvailable bail-out.
- Uses the version_update_test template.
- Falls back gracefully if checkForUpdates fails (so a transient
GitHub API hiccup doesn't block a config-check email).
- Does NOT update last_notified_version — that field stays owned by
the real-update path so a test send doesn't shadow a future
genuine notification for the same version.
- Wire /admin/system/updates/notifications/send to the renamed function.
No frontend change needed (the button already calls this endpoint).
Verified locally with the dev mailhog: clicking Send Test Email on a
3.42.3-beta.0 instance (which has no pending update) delivers 4 emails
to all admin recipients with subject "[TEST] PicPeak Update Notification
— configuration check" and body interpolated correctly. Returns
{success: true, successCount: 4, ...} — previously would have returned
{success: false, message: "No updates available"}.
Move thumbnail / EXIF / dimensions / watermark / webhook work off the
upload request thread and into a background worker pool. Upload
requests now return 202 in seconds even on NFS-backed storage; the
worker(s) drain the pending queue independently and update each
photo's processing_status to 'complete' or 'failed' on its own.
Schema (migration 085_async_photo_processing.js):
- photos.processing_status enum default 'complete' (existing
rows are already done)
- photos.processing_error populated on 'failed'
- photos.processing_started_at timestamp for janitor recovery
- photos.upload_id groups all photos from one upload
request so the frontend can poll
status by group
- indexes on processing_status and upload_id for queue lookups
services/photoProcessor.js
- queueFilesForProcessing(files, options) — shared helper used by
the admin and gallery upload routes. Moves files to final storage
+ inserts pending rows; returns { uploadId, photos, errors }.
- processPhoto(photoId) — worker-mode: reads original from storage
via withLocalCopy (transparent local/S3), generates thumbnail and
EXIF/dimensions or video metadata, queues watermark, fires
photo.uploaded webhook, marks 'complete'. Throws => caller marks
'failed' with the error message.
- processUploadedPhotos kept untouched — chunkedUploadService still
uses the synchronous path.
services/backgroundProcessor.js (new)
- N independent worker loops per backend instance (default 2,
UPLOAD_PROCESSOR_CONCURRENCY env override).
- Multi-pod safe: postgres SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, sqlite
UPDATE-with-status-guard. Pods race on rows, exactly one wins.
- Janitor every minute resets photos stuck in 'processing' for >10
minutes (worker died, pod restarted) back to 'pending'.
- UPLOAD_PROCESSOR_DISABLED=true opt-out for CI/test.
- Started from server.js after the other long-running workers.
routes/adminPhotos.js — POST /:eventId/upload
- Replaced batch-of-25 sync processing loop with per-file
move-to-storage + insert-pending. Response is now 202 with
upload_id, count, photo_ids in addition to the legacy
successCount / replacedCount fields the existing frontend reads.
- Per-request temp directory cleanup is now a single idempotent
handler on res.finish/res.close (was three inline blocks for
error paths only, leaking dirs on success — original bug from
contributor analysis).
- GET /uploads/:upload_id/status — JSON snapshot of pending /
processing / complete / failed counts plus per-photo state.
- GET /uploads/:upload_id/stream — SSE upgrade. Polls internally
every 1.5s, emits on snapshot change, ends when all photos
reach a terminal state.
- POST /photos/:photoId/retry — flips a 'failed' photo back to
'pending' so the worker picks it up again.
- GET /:eventId/thumbnail/:photoId now returns 503 with Retry-After
while the photo is still pending/processing, and 422 on 'failed'.
The admin grid renders placeholders accordingly.
routes/gallery.js — POST /:eventId/upload (guest)
- Refactored to use queueFilesForProcessing instead of the synchronous
processUploadedPhotos. Same 202 + upload_id shape.
- GET /:slug/photos now filters processing_status to 'complete' (or
NULL for pre-migration rows) so guests never see in-flight photos.
Side-effect timing change:
- photo.uploaded webhook now fires from the worker after the photo
is actually processed (thumbnail + dimensions populated) instead
of from inside the upload request. Same payload fields. Worth a
one-line note in the changelog.
Two settings with overlapping names but different value sets were being
conflated:
- branding_logo_position (header bar, horizontal): 'left'|'center'|'right'
- hero_logo_position (hero block, vertical): 'top'|'center'|'bottom'
getBrandingDefaults() copied the global branding value over the per-event
hero value when seeding new events. Any admin with branding logo set to
'left' (the most common choice) created events with hero_logo_position
= 'left' written to the DB. Subsequent PUTs to /admin/events/:id then
failed validation with "Invalid value (field: hero_logo_position)" — the
validator only accepts top/center/bottom.
Fix:
1. Drop the bogus mapping. branding_logo_position is no longer read by
getBrandingDefaults — it doesn't belong there. The fallback default
('top') is used unless the request body explicitly provides
hero_logo_position, which is independently validated.
2. Migration 084_fix_hero_logo_position normalises any existing rows
whose hero_logo_position is outside ('top','center','bottom') back
to 'top'. Without this, affected events would continue to 400 on
every save until the admin manually picks a valid option.
Reproduction: admin sets branding logo position to 'left' under global
branding, creates an event, opens the event detail page, clicks Save
without changing anything → 400. After this fix, save succeeds and new
events default to 'top' regardless of branding-bar position.
Closes the user-facing surface for the two #328 follow-ups previously
landed in code form (presigned route + S3 mode notes), plus the schema
migration that backs both #328 and #327 follow-ups.
Migration 083
- events.allow_presigned_download — per-event opt-in for the
presigned-URL "Download All" path. Off by default because it bypasses
watermarks; admins flip it knowingly. Mutually exclusive with
watermark_downloads.
- webhooks.filter (jsonb default {}) — dot-path equality predicate
evaluated at fire time. Empty object = no filter, fire always.
Backs the filter logic that shipped with #327.
- webhooks.template (text nullable) — optional ${dot.path} string
substitution applied at delivery time. NULL = use the default JSON
envelope (back-compat). Backs the template logic from #327.
S3 prefix walker (services/s3AutoImporter.js)
- Replaces the chokidar file-watcher in S3 mode (where there's no
inotify equivalent on remote objects).
- Polls every active event's S3 prefix every 5 min by default
(STORAGE_AUTO_IMPORT_INTERVAL_MS overridable).
- Eventual-consistency gate: an object is only imported after it's
been seen for two consecutive polls. Avoids flapping when S3 returns
a freshly-uploaded object that disappears on the next list (a
documented S3 behavior on certain backends).
- Skips generated artifacts (thumb_*, hero_*, dot-files).
- Inserts photos rows + fires photo.uploaded webhooks the same way
the local fileWatcher does.
- Opt-in via STORAGE_AUTO_IMPORT=true. Off by default because it adds
API call cost.
EventDetailsPage UI (frontend)
- Round D queryKey alignment for #325 dedup — replaces useQuery on
publicSettingsService with the shared usePublicSettings() hook so
the page joins the same React Query cache as every other consumer.
- Per-event "Allow direct S3 download (no watermark, S3 mode only)"
toggle in Download Protection. Disabled when watermark_downloads is
on; tooltip explains the bandwidth/watermark trade-off. Toggling
watermark_downloads on automatically clears allow_presigned_download
to keep the two mutually exclusive in the UI.
Verified live against MinIO
- Presigned: GET /api/gallery/.../download-all → 302 with
Location: http://minio:9000/...?X-Amz-Signature=...&X-Amz-Expires=300.
Following the URL inside the docker network → HTTP 200, valid
PK ZIP archive containing the photo.
- Auto-importer: dropped a file via `mc cp` directly into the bucket;
watcher imported it after 2 polls; webhook subscribed to
photo.uploaded fired with source=s3-auto-import; receiver got POST
with valid HMAC, status=success, 3ms latency.
PicPeak POSTs lifecycle notifications to admin-configured URLs. Each
delivery is signed HMAC-SHA256 in the X-PicPeak-Signature header.
Verified end-to-end: 1/1 Playwright spec, 8/8 backend integration
tests, full UI click-through via Chrome DevTools.
Schema (migration 082)
- webhooks: id, name, url, secret (plaintext — required to compute HMAC
for every outbound POST), secret_preview, events[], active, filter,
template, created_by, timestamps, last_success_at/last_failure_at.
- webhook_deliveries: webhook_id (FK CASCADE), event_type, payload,
attempt_count, status (pending|success|failed), response_status,
response_body (truncated to 1KB), latency_ms, next_retry_at,
last_error, created_at, completed_at. Composite index
(status, next_retry_at) serves the worker's hot-path query.
Service + worker
- webhookService.fire(eventType, data) — non-throwing entry point used
by lifecycle hooks. Looks up active webhooks subscribed to the event
and applies their per-webhook filter (dot-path equality predicate)
before enqueueing one webhook_deliveries row per match. Filter and
template logic ship in this commit; admin surfaces in the follow-up.
- webhookDeliveryWorker — setInterval(5s) poller; fetches up to 5
pending rows; per delivery: re-validates URL via networkValidation
(DNS-rebinding mitigation, opt-out via WEBHOOK_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS),
signs body with HMAC-SHA256, POSTs with 10s timeout, records outcome.
Backoff schedule: 1m → 5m → 30m → 2h → 12h, max 5 attempts. Response
body truncated to 1KB before storage. If a webhook has a template,
the rendered string replaces the JSON envelope as the request body
(signature is computed over the bytes actually sent).
Lifecycle wiring
- adminEvents.js POST /events → event.created (+ event.published when
not draft); POST /:id/publish → event.published.
- routes/events.js (legacy public POST) → event.created + event.published.
- routes/v1/events.js (#322 API) → event.created + event.published on
create, photo.uploaded on photo POST.
- archiveService.archiveEvent() → event.archived. Per-photo
photo.deleted intentionally NOT fired during cascade — receivers
infer from event.archived to avoid flooding (issue spec).
- expirationChecker.handleExpiredEvent() → event.expired BEFORE the
cascading archive (so receivers see expired→archived in order).
- adminPhotos.js — photo.uploaded on each batch row, photo.deleted on
single + bulk delete.
- photoProcessor.js — photo.uploaded for guest uploads + auto-import
(covers all entry paths).
- fileWatcher.js — photo.uploaded on add, photo.deleted on unlink
(local mode only).
Admin endpoints (mirrors adminApiTokens.js pattern)
- /api/admin/webhooks: GET list, POST create (returns plaintext secret
exactly once), GET :id, PUT :id, DELETE :id, POST :id/test (synthetic
fire), GET :id/deliveries (paginated, filter by status), GET
:id/deliveries/:deliveryId, POST :id/deliveries/:deliveryId/replay.
Frontend
- Settings → Webhooks tab (mirrors API Tokens layout): name + URL +
event checkboxes + "Advanced" expander for filter (JSON) and template.
Plaintext secret shown once on creation with a Copy button. Active/
Disabled toggle button per row.
- /admin/webhooks/:id/deliveries — operational debug surface. Table
with timestamp/event/status/attempts/HTTP/latency. Status filter chips
(all/pending/success/failed). Row click → slide-over with payload +
signature + response body. Replay button on failed rows. Send-test-event
dialog. Auto-refresh every 10s.
Dev infrastructure
- dev/webhook-receiver/ — tiny node:alpine HTTP server (~100 LOC) that
records every POST to an in-memory ring buffer. Exposes GET /requests
for the E2E spec to assert deliveries landed with the right HMAC.
Sibling pattern to MinIO. Reachable from the backend at
http://webhook-receiver:8888 inside the picpeak network.
Tests
- backend/__tests__/integration/webhookDelivery.test.js (8/8) —
signature verification, headers, retry/backoff, max-attempts → failed,
response truncation, disabled-mid-flight, SSRF block, start/stop
idempotency.
- tests/e2e/webhooks-roundtrip.spec.ts (1/1) — create webhook → trigger
event.published → assert receiver got POST with valid HMAC → visit
deliveries page → row visible with status=success → API test event →
API replay → disable webhook → assert no new delivery.
Docs
- README §"Webhooks" — event catalog, payload shape, HMAC verification
in Node + Python + bash, retry semantics, SSRF protection.
- .env.example — WEBHOOK_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS, WEBHOOK_DELIVERY_INTERVAL_MS,
WEBHOOK_DELIVERY_CONCURRENCY, WEBHOOK_HTTP_TIMEOUT_MS,
WEBHOOK_MAX_ATTEMPTS.
Out of scope for v1 (per issue): webhook templates' code-eval (the
${dot.path} substitution that ships is pure string replacement, no
expression engine — see follow-up commit), per-webhook rate limiting
beyond the global concurrency cap, synchronous "ask before delete"
webhooks.
Spanning files
- App.tsx pulls in this commit with both the AnalyticsBootstrap
(#325 dedup) and the WebhookDeliveriesPage route registration.
Splitting via git add -p was forfeit for sanity; the single 92-line
diff is honest about both contributions.
- adminEvents.js diff bundles the webhook fires AND the
allow_presigned_download field plumbing (#328 follow-up). Same
reasoning.
- The new webhookService/Worker/adminWebhooks files include the filter
and template logic from the follow-up — they were authored in one
pass; splitting them post-hoc would have produced fragile partial
files. The follow-up commit covers the migration and the UI for these.
Adds a long-lived bearer-token mechanism + scoped REST surface designed
for n8n-style automation: create a gallery, upload photos, fetch the
share URL — all via documented HTTPS endpoints instead of poking at the
admin UI's internal routes.
API
- Migration 081 adds `api_tokens` (hashed_token, scopes, owner FK,
last_used/expires/revoked timestamps).
- New apiTokenAuth middleware: parses `Authorization: Bearer pp_live_…`,
resolves to the owner admin user, attaches `req.admin` so existing
permission decorators (events.create etc.) still work. Token-level
scope check (read/write/admin) layers on top as defence in depth —
a leaked read-only token cannot mutate even if its owner is super_admin.
- adminApiTokens route exposes list/create/revoke for admins (cookie-
authed). Plaintext token is returned exactly once on creation.
- v1 surface mounted at /api/v1: POST/GET /events, GET /events/:id,
POST /events/:id/photos (multipart, single file), GET
/events/:id/share-link. Each endpoint annotated with @openapi JSDoc.
Documentation
- swagger-jsdoc + swagger-ui-express produce a live spec at
/api/openapi.json and a Swagger UI at /api/docs (admin-gated).
- backend/scripts/generate-openapi.js writes docs/openapi.{json,yaml}
to the repo so the spec is versioned.
- scripts/sync-api-docs.sh runs in pre-push: regenerates the spec and
copies it into the picpeak-docs Nextra site at app/api/. Writes only,
never commits or pushes the docs repo (PUSH_SKIP_DOCS=1 to bypass).
Frontend
- New Settings → API Tokens tab: generate, list, revoke. Plaintext
tokens are shown once with a copy-to-clipboard control.
Adds a `customer_phone` column on events plus an `event_phone_field_enabled`
admin setting (default off) that surfaces the input in the create-event
and event-detail forms. Designed for downstream automation tooling — once
exposed via the upcoming public API, n8n / similar can pick it up to
deliver gallery links over WhatsApp, SMS, etc.
- Migration 080 adds the column + seeds the setting as false. Existing
deployments see no UI change unless the admin opts in via
Settings → Events.
- Backend strips the field server-side when the toggle is off (defence
in depth against form bypass).
- Frontend renders the input only when the public-settings flag is true;
always optional even then.
- publicSettings + EventSettings types extended; CreateEventPage and
EventDetailsPage wired to read the toggle and submit the value.
Pre-zip downloads:
- Generate ZIP in background after photo mutations (upload/delete/watermark change)
- Serve cached zip with Content-Length for instant downloads and native progress bar
- Falls back to on-the-fly streaming when no cache exists yet
- Frontend uses browser-native download when zip is ready (no blob buffering)
- New downloadZipService with debounced regeneration and in-memory locking
Photo replacement:
- Admin upload form gets "Replace existing photos with same name" checkbox
- Matches by original_filename (case-insensitive) within the same event
- Preserves photo ID, position, feedback, category, and visibility
- Updates file, thumbnail, dimensions, EXIF capture date on replacement
- Ambiguous matches (multiple photos with same name) skip replacement with warning
- New photoReplacementService with findReplacementCandidate and replacePhoto
Introduces a new "Per-guest selections" identity mode for event
feedback, letting each visitor register under their own name so their
likes/favorites/comments/ratings are tracked independently. Includes
admin insights (list, per-guest detail, aggregate view, export) and
advanced identity features (forget-me, email recovery, invite tokens,
merge).
New event-level setting
- event_feedback_settings.identity_mode = 'simple' | 'guest' (default
'simple' → zero behavior change for existing events).
- Admin UI radio under Feedback Settings to toggle per event.
Root cause of the previous "all guests share state" bug
- generateGuestIdentifier() was sha256(ip + userAgent), so every visitor
on the same WiFi + similar device collided into one identity.
- Now: when a verified guest JWT is present (x-guest-token header),
req.guest.identifier takes precedence — per-person rate limits and
per-person deduplication.
Phase 1 — identity layer
- Migration 078: new gallery_guests, guest_invites, guest_verification_
codes tables; identity_mode column + check constraint; nullable
guest_id FK on photo_feedback.
- New guest JWT type scoped to (eventId, guestId).
- New middleware guestAuth.resolveGuest (non-blocking) + requireGuest.
- POST /gallery/:slug/guest, GET /guest/me, DELETE /guest/me.
- Gallery feedback route enforces guest identity in guest mode and
reads name/email from the verified token (never from the body).
- Frontend GuestIdentityContext + GuestNamePromptModal; axios
interceptor injects x-guest-token on gallery API calls.
- Feedback-only blocking: gallery opens freely, prompt only on first
interactive feedback action.
- Admin "Guests" tab (conditional on identity_mode='guest') with the
AdminGuestsList component.
Phase 2 — admin insights
- GET /admin/events/:eventId/guests list + aggregated counts.
- GET /admin/events/:eventId/guests/:guestId detail with per-type
groupings; AdminGuestDetail modal with thumbnail grid + tabs.
- GET /admin/events/:eventId/guests/aggregate sorted by distinct guest
pick count; GuestSelectionsAggregate component.
- Per-guest export (txt/csv/json) and bulk export-all ZIP.
Phase 3 — polish
- 3.1 Self-service forget-me link in gallery footer.
- 3.2 Email-based identity recovery: POST /guest/recover sends a
6-digit code via the existing emailProcessor, POST /guest/verify
exchanges it for a token (rate-limited, enumeration-safe).
- 3.3 Admin invite tokens: pre-mint identities, share URLs with
?invite=, single-use redemption stripping the param from history.
- 3.4 Admin merge endpoint reassigns feedback + soft-deletes sources.
Shared helper
- useGalleryFeedbackAction hook wraps the identity-check logic for
inline like buttons across Masonry/Grid/Justified/Mosaic/Carousel/
Timeline/Premium layouts.
Backwards compatibility
- Existing events default to 'simple' after migration; behavior
unchanged.
- Legacy photo_feedback rows keep guest_id NULL; admin shows them in
the generic feedback moderation view as before.
- feedback_count denormalized stat now uses COALESCE(guest_id,
guest_identifier) so per-guest counts are accurate without touching
legacy rows.
Verified end-to-end against local Docker
- Migration clean on existing data.
- Simple mode unchanged (no prompt, legacy flow).
- Guest mode: Alice registers on click, tokens persist in
sessionStorage, feedback rows carry guest_id.
- Carol via invite link auto-redeems, sees Alice's "1 likes" badge.
- Admin Guests tab shows both with correct counts; detail modal
displays thumbnail grid with badges; aggregate view sorts by picker
count (photo 227 = 2, others = 1); CSV/JSON export matches DB.
- Merge Carol into Alice: feedback reassigned, Carol soft-deleted,
Alice count = 4.
Add per-event default photo sort setting with 6 options:
- Upload Date (Newest/Oldest First)
- Date Taken (Newest/Oldest First) — uses EXIF captured_at
- Filename (A-Z / Z-A)
Backend:
- Migration 077 adds default_photo_sort column to events table
- Event create/update handlers accept and validate the setting
- Gallery info endpoint returns default_photo_sort for frontend
Frontend:
- "Date Taken" added to gallery sort dropdown (alongside Date, Name,
Size, Rating)
- Gallery initializes with event's default sort instead of hardcoded
"date"
- "Default Photo Sort" dropdown in event create and edit forms
- Photos without EXIF dates fall back to upload date
i18n: All 5 locales (EN, DE, NL, PT, RU) updated with sort labels.

a normalized email_template_translations table where each language is a row.
This allows adding new languages without schema changes.
- Add migration 075 to create email_template_translations table, migrate
existing EN/DE data, and seed NL/PT/RU for customer-facing templates
- Update processTemplate() to query translations table with fallback chain
(requested lang -> en -> first available), with legacy column fallback

- Add Dutch to clientAccessI18n and password security messages in emails
- Expand email domain detection for NL/BE/BR/PT/RU domains
- Add email i18n keys (copyFrom, noTranslation, etc.) across all 5 locales
- Add photo_cap column to events table (migration 074) to limit photos per event
- Enforce photo cap in upload route, returning 400 when limit exceeded
- Pass photo_cap through all event CRUD routes and frontend forms
- Add complete Portuguese (pt-BR) translation (2300+ strings)
- Register pt locale in i18n config, language selector, date formatting
- Add photoCap/photoCapHelp translation keys to all locale files (en, de, ru, pt)
When admin/customer emails were configured as optional in Settings >
Event Creation, the backend still rejected empty values because:
1. express-validator .optional() only skips undefined, not empty strings
— changed to .optional({ values: 'falsy' }) so "" is treated as
absent
2. DB columns host_email and admin_email had NOT NULL constraints
— added migration to make them nullable
3. Email queue insert crashed on null recipient_email
— skip queuing when no customer email is provided
Users behind Cloudflare Tunnel and other reverse proxies cannot upload
batches >100MB. The upload chunking previously used a hardcoded 500MB
limit. This adds a configurable `max_upload_batch_size_mb` setting
(default 95MB) to the admin General settings, leaving headroom below
Cloudflare's 100MB limit.
