chore: bump version to 1.0.37

- Fix archive deletion to also clean up associated thumbnails
- Add cleanup-thumbnails.js script to remove temporary and orphaned thumbnails
- Add diagnose-thumbnails.js script to troubleshoot thumbnail serving issues
- Update README with documentation for new scripts

This prevents thumbnail accumulation when events are deleted and helps
diagnose why thumbnails might not be showing despite existing on disk.

+# Storage Management Scripts
+
+## check-storage.js
+
+Checks the storage directory structure and verifies that photo files exist.
+
+### Usage:
+```bash
+# Check overall storage structure
+node scripts/check-storage.js
+
+# Check specific event
+node scripts/check-storage.js wedding-test-gallery-2025-07-14-1
+```
+
+### What it checks:
+- Storage directory structure and permissions
+- Event directories
+- Photo files existence
+- Thumbnail files existence
+- Database vs filesystem consistency
+
+## regenerate-thumbnails.js
+
+Regenerates missing thumbnails for photos in the database.
+
+### Usage:
+```bash
+# Regenerate all missing thumbnails
+node scripts/regenerate-thumbnails.js
+
+# Regenerate thumbnails for specific event (by ID)
+node scripts/regenerate-thumbnails.js 2
+```
+
+### What it does:
+- Scans photos in database
+- Checks if thumbnails exist
+- Generates missing thumbnails using Sharp
+- Updates database with thumbnail paths
+- Reports success/error statistics
+
+### Prerequisites:
+- Node.js environment
+- Database access
+- Write permissions to storage directory
+- Sharp library installed
+
+## Production Usage
+
+On your production server:
+
+1. First, check the storage structure:
+   ```bash
+   cd /path/to/picpeak/backend
+   NODE_ENV=production node scripts/check-storage.js wedding-test-gallery-2025-07-14-1
+   ```
+
+2. If thumbnails are missing, regenerate them:
+   ```bash
+   NODE_ENV=production node scripts/regenerate-thumbnails.js 2
+   ```
+
+Note: Replace `2` with the actual event ID from your database.
+
+## cleanup-thumbnails.js
+
+Cleans up temporary and orphaned thumbnail files.
+
+### Usage:
+```bash
+# Dry run - see what would be deleted
+node scripts/cleanup-thumbnails.js --dry-run
+
+# Actually delete orphaned thumbnails
+node scripts/cleanup-thumbnails.js
+```
+
+### What it does:
+- Identifies temporary thumbnails (thumb_temp_*)
+- Finds orphaned thumbnails not linked to any photo
+- Removes unnecessary files to free up space
+- Reports statistics on cleanup
+
+## diagnose-thumbnails.js
+
+Diagnoses why thumbnails might not be showing for a specific event.
+
+### Usage:
+```bash
+node scripts/diagnose-thumbnails.js 2
+```
+
+### What it checks:
+- Thumbnail paths in database vs filesystem
+- Path format inconsistencies
+- Missing thumbnail files
+- Provides SQL to fix path issues
+
+### Common Issues:
+1. **Path mismatch**: Database has wrong thumbnail path format
+2. **Missing files**: Thumbnails were never generated
+3. **Permission issues**: Web server can't read thumbnail files
