* fix(admin): serve videos with their real MIME type in the admin photo view (#908)

The admin view route built Content-Type from the filename extension —
image/<ext> — which is invalid for videos (image/mp4). The admin player
fetches this URL into a blob that inherits the type, and browsers
refuse to play a <video> blob labeled image/*: blank/grey preview,
while download (which already uses photo.mime_type) worked fine.

Stored mime_type now wins; videos without one fall back to video/mp4,
images to the extension, and extensionless files to image/jpeg instead
of the equally invalid bare 'image/'.

Also unrefs chunkedUploadService's module-level hourly cleanup interval:
it kept Jest from exiting for any suite requiring adminPhotos (it's why
adminPhotos.reference sits on the CI ignore list). Production behavior
unchanged — the HTTP listener keeps the process alive.

New adminPhotoContentType suite pins all four MIME cases.

* fix(admin): harden admin photo Content-Type resolution (#908 review round)

External review findings, all verified:

- The header is now ALWAYS image/* or video/*. photos.mime_type is
  never echoed verbatim unless it is a video/ type — the chunked-upload
  path stores the client-sent MIME unvalidated, so a stored text/html
  served inline under the app origin was a same-origin XSS hazard.
- MIME-less videos map from the extension via the shared
  EXTENSION_TO_MIME (.mov → video/quicktime, .webm → video/webm)
  instead of a blanket video/mp4 that would mislabel them.
- Images ignore the stored MIME entirely: migration 039 backfilled
  image/jpeg onto every legacy row (PNGs included), so trusting it
  would regress previously-correct extension-derived types. Extension
  wins, normalized (jpg → image/jpeg).

Suite extended to 8 MIME cases including the XSS guard and the
039-backfill immunity.

* fix(admin): validate stored video MIME as a full header-safe token (#908 review round 2)

A prefix check let malformed client-stored values through:
'video/mp4\r\nX: y' makes res.setHeader throw ERR_INVALID_CHAR — a
permanent 500 for that photo — and a bare 'video/' is an invalid type.
Strict /^video\/[\w.+-]+$/ now gates the stored value; anything else
falls back to the extension map. Two new tests pin both shapes.

* fix(admin): map-only image Content-Type — no raw extension interpolation (#908 review round 3)

image/${ext} could synthesize image/svg+xml (scriptable when served
inline) or header-invalid values from client-controlled chunked-upload
filenames. The shared EXTENSION_TO_MIME map is now the allowlist on the
image side too; unmapped extensions serve as image/jpeg — browsers
sniff image bytes in img/blob contexts, so a mislabel is harmless where
an injected type is not.
