The admin's Settings → General → "Max File Size (MB)" value
(general_max_file_size_mb) never applied to guest gallery uploads — the guest
route hardcoded multer's per-file cap at 50MB (gallery.js) and the guest UI
hardcoded the same 50MB client-side guard and "max 50MB" hint text. So a guest
could not upload a large video even when the admin raised the limit (reported by
mat1990dj on #613). Same class as the file-count miss fixed in #614, for size.
- uploadSettings.js: new getMaxFileSizeMb()/getMaxFileSizeBytes() reading
general_max_file_size_mb (default 50MB, cached 60s, clamped to a 10GB ceiling),
mirroring getMaxFilesPerUpload.
- gallery.js (guest upload): multer limits.fileSize now resolves from the
setting; a LIMIT_FILE_SIZE error returns an actionable "max N MB" message.
- publicSettings.js: exposes general_max_file_size_mb (default 50) so the gallery
UI can render the real limit and guard client-side before an oversized POST.
- UserPhotoUpload.tsx: reads the limit, uses it for the client-side size guard,
and passes it to the requirements hint. The "max 50MB" literal in
upload.fileRequirements is now interpolated ({{sizeLimit}}) across all 8
locales; adds upload.fileTooLarge (en/de; others fall back to en).
Scope: guest path only (the reported gap). The admin path keeps its generous
10GB cap — admins are trusted and default 50MB would otherwise regress large
admin video uploads. Format and batch-size limits already work correctly and are
untouched. Adds SQLite-backed unit tests for the new getter.
Verified end-to-end on a booted instance: admin sets 500MB → persisted → public
settings exposes 500 → guest multer sources its cap from it.
