Delete the old Python+React mule-image stack (backend/, frontend/,
docker-compose.yml, mulita.yml, .env*) plus the one-shot migration and
sample dirs (migrate/, photos-sample/, photovault-app-prompt.md). Only
the PhotoPrism + Go sidecar + SvelteKit web stack remains, so drop the
".photoprism." qualifier from the compose+env filenames.
Bind PhotoPrism's port to 127.0.0.1 so the user-facing surface is just
the SvelteKit web/ app; admin reaches PP's UI via SSH tunnel. Flatten
PHOTOPRISM_INDEX_WORKERS' nested default (podman-compose's interpolator
doesn't expand ${A:-${B:-…}}). Rewrite README for the current stack.

- New sidecar/Dockerfile: multi-stage golang:1.25-alpine → distroless/
static, ~12 MB final image, static CGO-free binary.
- Wire pp-sidecar into docker-compose.photoprism.yml so the whole
stack (mariadb + photoprism + sidecar) starts with one
`podman-compose up`. Container reaches mariadb + photoprism on the
internal network; the host gets 127.0.0.1:8000 for Vite's proxy.
- New SIDECAR_LISTEN_ADDR env var (default 127.0.0.1 for the host-mode
dev loop) so the container can bind 0.0.0.0:8000 and let the port
mapping reach it. Without this the loopback bind was invisible to
the host.
- Delete sidecar/legacy/server.mjs — the Node prototype's archival
window is over; git history is its home now.
- Update sidecar/README with compose-first bringup; keep the host
`go build` flow as the fast-iteration loop.

Replace the Node prototype (server.mjs) with the stack the merge plan
calls for: Go 1.25, Gin for routing, GORM + MariaDB for persistence.
Same wire contract on /api/sidecar/* so the SvelteKit client doesn't
change.
- Marks move from a JSON file on disk to mule_sidecar.marks (auto-
migrated by GORM on first boot). The Node prototype's marks.json
was dev-only; not migrated.
- Folder/rename/heap-convert/duplicates handlers reproduce the
prototype's behaviour, including the path-traversal defence
(resolveUnderRoot + EvalSymlinks), the size-bucket prefilter for
the duplicate hasher, and the background reindex fire-and-forget
pattern.
- Auth model unchanged: requireSession middleware proxies the
caller's X-Auth-Token to PhotoPrism's /api/v1/photos?count=1
before any destructive op.
- Expose pp-mariadb on 127.0.0.1:3306 in docker-compose so the
host Go process can reach mule_sidecar.* without joining the
container network.
- Archive the Node prototype under sidecar/legacy/server.mjs for
one cycle as reference.

Replace the legacy mule-image backend with PhotoPrism plus a thin
SvelteKit client and a Node sidecar for endpoints PhotoPrism doesn't
expose (file rename), and add a two-phase migrator (metadata via PUT,
heaps → albums) for the existing Postgres library.
