The "Method 2: File System" section in SIMPLE_SETUP.md implied you
could create a gallery by just copying files to the storage directory.
In reality, the event must exist in the database first — the file
watcher only adds photos to existing events.
Rewritten to clarify the prerequisite and explain how the file watcher
works (2s stability delay, supported formats, auto-thumbnailing).
The redirect loop fix only covered MandatoryPasswordChangeModal.
The regular PasswordChangeModal (profile settings) had the same
issue — onSuccess updated React state but didn't handle the new
JWT cookie, causing the same redirect loop.
Also increase redirect delay from 500ms to 2000ms in both modals
so the success toast is visible before the page reloads.
The new token issued after password change had iat (integer seconds)
that was <= password_changed_at (millisecond precision), causing the
auth middleware's "iat < passwordChangedTime" check to reject it
immediately. Set iat explicitly to 1 second after password_changed_at.
E2E tested: login → mandatory password change → dashboard loads
successfully with no redirect loop and no 401 errors.
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.

#263: The mandatory password change modal updated React state before
the browser stored the new JWT cookie, causing a race condition where
the auth context checked the session with the old (invalidated) token.
Replace the state update with a full page redirect to /admin/dashboard
after a brief delay, ensuring the new cookie is applied cleanly.
#269: The file watcher service imported isVideoMimeType from
fileSecurityUtils where it doesn't exist. The function is exported
from videoProcessor. Fix the import path.
Closes#269
Draft Mode:
- Events are created as drafts by default — no email sent until published
- Add "Publish & Notify Client" button with confirmation dialog
- Draft banner with yellow styling on event details page
- Draft filter tab in events list
- Gallery middleware blocks public access to draft events
- Migration 076 adds is_draft column to events table
Admin Draft Preview:
- Admins can preview draft galleries via JWT preview token (?preview=)
- "View Gallery" link on drafts auto-appends preview token
Admin & Login Page Branding:
- Admin header uses configured company logo/name from branding settings
- Login page shows configured logo instead of hardcoded PicPeak
- Respects logo_display_mode (logo_only, text_only, logo_and_text)
OG Tag Branding:
- DynamicFavicon component updates OG meta tags and page title from
branding settings
Editable Client Email:
- Customer email is now editable after event creation in edit mode
Branding Inheritance:
- New events inherit hero logo settings (visibility, size, position)
from global branding configuration
Share Link Full Domain URL:
- New getFrontendBaseUrl() utility with DB fallback to general_site_url
- Used in email processor and share link service
Add the missing "External Media Library" chapter to DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md
that was referenced in the TOC but never written. Covers configuration,
Docker volume mounting, folder structure, usage workflow, limitations,
and troubleshooting.

Axios versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4 were compromised on March 31, 2026
with a RAT dropper attributed to North Korean threat actor. Pin to
exact 1.14.0 (latest safe release) to prevent resolution to compromised
versions. See https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/10604
Axios versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4 were compromised on March 31, 2026
with a RAT dropper (plain-crypto-js) attributed to North Korean threat
actor UNC1069/Sapphire Sleet. The malicious versions have been removed
from npm but our ^1.12.2 range could have pulled 1.14.1 on next install.
Pin to exact version 1.14.0 (latest safe release) in both frontend and
backend package.json and lock files to prevent any future resolution to
compromised versions.

After changing password, the backend sets password_changed_at which
invalidates the old JWT token. But the frontend still holds the old
token in the HttpOnly cookie, so the next session check returns 401,
triggering an infinite redirect loop between /admin/login and
/admin/dashboard.
Fix: issue a new JWT token cookie after successful password change
so the session remains valid without requiring re-login.
Beta themes (Gallery Premium, Gallery Story) display thumbnails at
400-800px, but the default thumbnail size is 300x300px, causing visible
pixelation. Show an amber warning banner with a link to Thumbnail
Settings when a beta layout is active and thumbnails are below 500px.
Warning appears both in the preset selector and the layout selector
sections of the theme customizer.
npm@latest resolves to v11 which has a broken promise-retry dependency
on Node 22 Alpine, causing Docker builds to fail. Pin to npm@10 which
stays compatible with the Node 22 base image.
Replace column-based email template languages (subject_en/subject_de) with
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
- Restructure admin email API to return/accept translations object format
- Update frontend EmailConfigPage with dynamic 5-language tabs, translation
count badges, and copy-from-language feature for empty translations
- Add Dutch to default language dropdown in general settings
- 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
