chore(stable): release 3.45.9 (#907)

* fix(analytics): make per-photo view/download counters actually count (#895) (stable)

Three stacked defects behind 'per-image stats stay 0':

- photos.view_count had NO writer anywhere — the admin IMAGES table and
  photo viewer display it, so it was permanently 0. It now increments
  when the full-size photo or its preview tier is served, excluding the
  slideshow kiosk (migration 138 design) and follow-up video Range
  requests (seeks are not views). Fire-and-forget so analytics can
  never fail the byte-serving path.
- Zip downloads (download-all, presigned download-all,
  download-selected) never incremented per-photo download_count — only
  single-photo downloads did, so zip-heavy galleries showed 0 forever.
  The zip routes now bump exactly the photos that went into the archive
  (the prebuilt-zip path mirrors the archive builders' category filter).
- Every admin surface used a different definition of 'downloads', which
  is the reporter's 46 vs 45 vs 0: event details counted only
  action='download' (no zips at all), the dashboard counted
  download+download_all but silently EXCLUDED download_selected and
  download_all_presigned. All queries now share one action set:
  download, download_all, download_all_presigned, download_selected.

New photoEngagementCounters suite pins all of it (7 tests).

* fix(analytics): count views via an explicit lightbox beacon (#895 review round)

External review flagged that request-level view counting is wrong in
both directions: the lightbox preloads prev/next neighbours (3 fetches
per open) while a preloaded neighbour promoted by a swipe is never
re-fetched (#505 keeps the DOM node), and enhanced/maximum galleries
never hit /photo at all (bytes come from /api/secure-images).

- Views now count via POST /:slug/photo/:photoId/view, fired by the
  lightbox exactly when a photo becomes the visible slide; the
  serving-route increments are removed. Covers protected galleries and
  the preview tier uniformly; slideshow kiosk stays excluded.
- bumpEventDownloadCounts mirrors downloadZipService._build (ALL event
  photos) — the category filter mismatched the prebuilt zip's actual
  contents. (That the builder ignores per-category allow_downloads is a
  separate pre-existing issue.)
- Zip loops count only successfully appended entries, with a pre-append
  storage stat: a lazy stream's async error bypassed the per-photo
  catch and hung the whole response — pre-existing bug, now fixed.

Suite extended to 9 tests (beacon semantics, serve-does-not-count,
skipped-entry exclusion).

* fix(analytics): fire the view beacon from the premium lightbox too (#895 review round 2)

gallery-premium events use yet-another-react-lightbox inside
GalleryPremiumLayout instead of PhotoLightbox, so the layout never
counted views. yarl's on.view fires on open and on every slide change —
identical semantics to the PhotoLightbox beacon.

Also documents the accepted prebuilt-zip approximation: _build can skip
entries whose watermark step fails and still publish the archive;
counting those exactly would need a persisted zip manifest.

* perf(analytics): skip the per-entry zip preflight on S3 (#895 review round 3)

The pre-append source check exists for LocalFs's lazy createReadStream
(async error would kill the whole zip response). S3's get() awaits
GetObject and rejects inside the loop's try/catch on a missing key, so
a HEAD per entry was a redundant serial round trip — 500 extra HEADs
on a 500-photo zip.
