chore(stable): release 3.46.2 (#1121)

Closes #1105.

iOS Safari zooms the whole page in when a focused form control computes to
under 16px, and it does not zoom back out. Unlocking a gallery is a
client-side transition rather than a document navigation, so the zoom the
password field triggers carries straight into the gallery: the layout pans
horizontally and the header actions sit off-screen until the visitor
pinch-zooms out by hand. A real page load would have reset it.

`.input` and `.input-themed` are `text-sm`, so the field is 14px on every
phone, and GalleryPage inverts the breakpoint on top of that
(`text-sm sm:text-base` — 14px below 640px, where iOS zooms, and 16px above
it, where it never does).

Keyed to the POINTER, not a width. The zoom depends on the computed font size
and a touch device, never on how wide the viewport is — and a phone in
landscape is 667-956 CSS px, above any width you could call "phone". Measured
on the admin login page, which has no `sm:` override:

  main   portrait 390x844    14px    zooms
  main   landscape 844x390   14px    zooms
  main   iPad 820x1180       14px    zooms
  fixed  all three           16px
  fixed  desktop (mouse)     14px    unchanged, no zoom off touch

One media query rather than flipping each call site. `.input` alone backs 334
`<Input>` usages, but there are also ~440 raw inputs, selects and textareas
carrying their own `text-sm`, and Tailwind utilities sit in a later layer than
@layer components — so a fix at the component definition misses most controls
and any new `text-sm` silently reintroduces the bug.

The `:not()` on each selector is load-bearing, not decoration: it buys the
specificity to beat a utility class. Measured in a browser —

  input.text-sm     16px   (0,2,1 beats .text-sm)
  select.text-sm    14px   (0,0,1 loses)
  textarea.text-sm  14px   (0,0,1 loses)

24 selects and textareas in the tree carry `text-sm`, so the bare form would
have left them zooming. Checkbox and radio stay excluded so font-size never
sizes their box.

max(16px, 1em, 1rem) is a FLOOR, not a size. A flat 16px would make controls
that are already bigger smaller: Typography -> Large sets --font-size-base to
18px on body, so anything inheriting it would be clamped down and the setting
quietly ignored. Each term covers a case the others miss:

  normal (body 16)       16px      Large theme (body 18)    18px
  Small theme (body 14)  16px      browser default 20px     20px

The viewport meta is deliberately left alone: `maximum-scale=1` would suppress
the zoom by disabling pinch-to-zoom for everyone.

+ * `preview_url: null`, so the slideshow's `preview_url || hero_url || url`
+ * chain fell through to `hero_url` — a 1920x1080 `fit: 'cover'` centre crop
+ * meant for gallery header banners. With the "Black Bars (No crop)" fit the
+ * show then letterboxed an already-cropped frame: portrait photos lost their
+ * top and bottom and the setting looked broken.
+ *
+ * The contract pinned here: `slideshow_url` points at the aspect-preserved
+ * preview tier and is emitted for image photos REGARDLESS of the lightbox
+ * toggle, so the slideshow never has a reason to reach for `hero_url`.
+ * `preview_url` itself must stay gated — the lightbox opt-in is unchanged.

+ *  - stored video/ MIME wins; MIME-less videos map from the extension
+ *    (.mov → video/quicktime), unknown video extensions get video/mp4
+ *  - images IGNORE the stored MIME (migration 039 backfilled image/jpeg
+ *    onto every legacy row, PNGs included) and use the extension,

+ *

+ * adminAuth ALONE (no requirePermission, no requireEventOwnership), so any
+ * back-office account — down to a read-only viewer — could read every gallery's
+ * password_hash/share_token and take over any gallery. The fix removes that
+ * router entirely and migrates its one UI-used route (POST /:id/extend) to the
+ * canonical /api/admin/events mount, where it inherits the permission +
+ * ownership guards.
+ *
+ * This test pins two invariants:
+ *   1. The legacy source file is gone (nothing can re-mount it).
+ *   2. The migrated extend route enforces ownership — a non-owning editor gets
+ *      403, the owner succeeds.

+ *  - Every real column still round-trips.
+ *  - Identity columns can't be mass-assigned through the settings body.
+ *  - gallery.js no longer declares a duplicate GET /:slug/feedback-settings.

+ * Migration 174: make events.event_date / events.expires_at nullable on SQLite (#1029).
+ *
+ * Migration 061 introduced the `event_require_event_date` /
+ * `event_require_expiration` settings and dropped the NOT NULL on both columns
+ * — but only for Postgres. It skipped SQLite on the premise that "SQLite
+ * doesn't enforce NOT NULL as strictly", which is simply untrue: clearing the
+ * expiration on a SQLite install fails with
+ *
+ *     SQLITE_CONSTRAINT: NOT NULL constraint failed: events.expires_at
+ *
+ * so "never expires" has never been reachable there. This finishes 061 for
+ * SQLite. Knex implements .alter() on SQLite by recreating the table; migration
+ * 073 already does exactly that on `events`, so the path is well-trodden here.
+ *
+ * Postgres is skipped — 061 already handled it, and knex's .alter() rewrites
+ * the whole column definition (type, default, nullability), which would be a
+ * needless rewrite of a column that is already correct.
