The old SplitGrid + InlinePreview pane is replaced by a full-screen
PreviewModal mounted once at the layout root. Open via Space on the
focused tile or double-click; close on Esc (or X / Space again).
Inside, PreviewPane renders the focused photo, RightSidebar carries
the metadata, BulkActionBar reuses the existing per-photo actions,
and PreviewCarousel windows ±50 thumbs around the focused index.
Selection contract matches the grid: plain click reduces, shift
extends the range, ⌘/Ctrl toggles, plain arrow drops the multi-
selection, shift-arrow extends. New clearBulkToFirst() helper makes
Esc / Clear collapse a bulk back to single-focus on its first member
before the next press fully dismisses (modal closes, grid clears
focus).
Tags route reorganised into /tags/[category]/[[value]] with its own
+layout and TagsBrowserSidebar; the old monolithic /tags/+page is
trimmed to a legacy redirect.

Selection: plain arrow nav now clears prior multi-selection so exactly
one tile is ringed at a time; shift-extend still grows from the anchor.
onApprove / onRestore / onDelete advance focus via focusAfter(ids)
before clearing selection, matching onArchive.
Preview: defer mounting <VideoPlayer> by 250ms so arrow-skim across
video tiles doesn't open and immediately cancel range requests; hard-
abort the underlying <video> on unmount so the connection releases.
Tags drill view: right-sidebar metadata wired in (single-photo
RightSidebar, BulkMetadataSidebar for >=2 selected), resizable edge
mirrors the timeline.

Replace the fullscreen PreviewOverlay with an inline top pane above
each grid surface. SplitGrid + InlinePreview render the focused
photo/video inside the host page; a resizableVertical action drives
the divider and the height persists via the view store. Applied to
the timeline, /tags drill-in, /review cause tabs, /photo/[uid], and
/map. selection.focused is now the single source of truth for both
the inline pane and the right sidebar — preview.svelte store and
PreviewOverlay are removed.
Sidebar: drop the thumb; lead with icon-led filename and folder
rows that match the date/place rhythm. Move dims+size to the top
(below date) and camera/lens/exposure into the collapsible File
section. Read-only spans share the input padding so the text column
aligns across rows. Folder row sits between date and dims+size.
VideoPlayer: stop forcing width/height: 100% so videos honour their
intrinsic aspect ratio inside the pane. Key the player on file hash
in InlinePreview so navigating between videos remounts the element
and autoplay fires again.
Sidebar (LeftSidebar): switch the labels badge to a dedicated
countPhotos('label:*') query so it reports photos with a label
rather than PhotoPrism's category roll-up.

PhotoPrism plays a silent preview of the actual video when you hover
its grid tile; this mirrors that. After a 250ms debounce the tile
mounts a muted, looping <video> over the thumbnail and cross-fades it
in on first decoded frame, so cursor-skimming doesn't fire N requests
and the tile never blanks mid-fetch. The byte-prefetch helper added
in af96922 is now redundant — the hover <video> warms the same caches
on its own.
Also tells Vidstack the playback URL is video/mp4 via a nested
<source>: our /api/v1/videos/.../avc URL has no extension, so
Vidstack's suffix sniff was failing, falling back to a HEAD probe,
and picking the wrong loader (which surfaced as
NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_METADATA_ERR in Firefox).

Replace PreviewOverlay's bare <video controls> with a vidstack-driven
player wrapping the same source URL. Vidstack's default video layout
provides a polished chrome (gradient bottom bar, large play overlay,
hover-revealed scrubber) and registers <media-player>/<media-provider>
custom elements that vendor the browser quirks.
To keep first-frame latency low, PhotoTile starts a hover-warm fetch
of the playback URL after a short (120 ms) delay — a single Range
request of the first 512 KB pages the backend's pre-transcoded MP4
cache file into the OS page cache and lands in the browser's HTTP
cache, so when the player mounts and issues its own bytes=0- request
the response is satisfied from disk. Each hash is warmed at most once
per session; AbortController cancels hovers that don't commit.
The vidstack modules are dynamically imported on mount so they never
run during SvelteKit's static prerender — they side-effect
customElements.define() calls which would crash under SSR.
