- Disabled duplicate email service (emailService.js) that was creating redundant connections
- Increased connection pool size from 10 to 25 for production environment
- Extended session timeout cache from 5 to 30 minutes to reduce DB queries
- Added connection retry logic with exponential backoff for transient failures
- Fixed password validation to use retry wrapper and correct setting key
- Updated public settings and gallery middleware to handle connection failures gracefully
These changes address the "Connection terminated unexpectedly" errors in production by:
1. Reducing unnecessary database connections
2. Increasing available connection pool capacity
3. Implementing automatic retry for transient connection failures
4. Caching frequently accessed data for longer periods

- Updated API interceptor to better handle gallery authentication
- Fixed 401 error handling to prevent redirect loops on gallery pages
- Improved token extraction logic for gallery API requests
- Consolidated duplicate verifyGalleryAccess middleware
- Added proper error handling in GalleryView component
- Gallery authentication now properly distinguishes from admin routes
The issue was caused by the API interceptor redirecting to admin login
when gallery API calls failed with 401, even when users were already
on gallery pages attempting to authenticate.

- Add eventId check from JWT token for thumbnail access
- Better error logging for debugging authentication issues
- Add admin debug endpoint to check photo existence
- More permissive thumbnail access when valid gallery token exists
This should help diagnose why photos are returning 404 errors in production.
