Replace OpenCLIP ViT-B/32 (512-d, ~78% recall) with SigLIP2 ViT-B/16
(768-d, ~84% recall) as the default embedding model for significantly
better image-text retrieval quality.
- New SigLIP2Embedder class with 384px input and SigLIP normalization
- ONNX export pipeline for SigLIP2 visual + textual encoders
- Migration 0010: resize embeddings.vector from 512 to 768 dimensions
- Config-driven model selection: "siglip2_vitb16" (default) or
"openclip_vitb32" (legacy) — both models can coexist
- Content classifier follows the configured embedder family
- Existing embeddings cleared on migration; vision backfill regenerates

Introduce username/password authentication with admin and user roles.
Each user gets their own media directory under /photos/{username}/ with
isolated photos, folders, heaps, and tags. Admins manage users and
observe the full library from a dedicated Settings page.
Backend:
- User model with bcrypt passwords and JWT access/refresh tokens
- Auth router (login, refresh, setup, change-password, status)
- Admin router (user CRUD with last-admin protection)
- user_id FK added to photos, folders, source_roots, heaps, tags
- All data routers scoped by authenticated user
- Scanner inherits user_id from source root owner
- Thumbnails stored under user-prefixed paths for isolation
- Library endpoints accept ?scope=global for admin cross-user view
- Alembic migration 0009 with data migration for existing installs
- Defensive bootstrap.py handles fresh vs existing DB startup
Frontend:
- AuthContext with token lifecycle, auto-refresh, login/logout
- Login page, first-run setup page, auth gate in App.tsx
- Bearer token interceptor on all API requests
- User identity + logout in left sidebar
- Admin-only Settings page with Library Management and Users tabs
- UserManagement panel (add, edit role, reset password, deactivate)
- Settings shows global stats across all users for admin
- Filter bar, right sidebar, keyboard hints hidden on settings page

Lets operators fix corrupted capture dates at scale. Adds an editable
Date Taken field with a folder/filename-derived suggestion hint, a bulk
Date Taken section in the multi-select sidebar that either applies one
date to the whole selection or infers a per-photo date from each path,
a warning badge on thumbnails whose stored date disagrees with the
path, and a "Date issues" filter pill so suspicious photos can be
surfaced and fixed as a group. Edits are written back to EXIF on disk
so rescans don't clobber the fix.

Adds a per-folder "hide from views" toggle so noisy subtrees
(screenshots, WhatsApp dumps, work archives) can be excluded from
cross-cutting views without losing indexing. Photos under a hidden
folder are still scanned, thumbnailed, embedded, OCR'd, face-
extracted — they just stop appearing in All Photos, Rated, Colors,
Map, Tags, People, Search, Duplicates, and the sidebar counts.
Navigating directly into the folder still shows every photo.
Schema (migration 0007_folder_hidden):
- folders.is_hidden user-set toggle, default false
- photos.is_hidden denormalized effective flag (true iff any
ancestor folder is hidden), indexed so cross-
cutting queries stay on the existing planner
paths
The denorm is maintained by two paths:
- The scanner walks the ancestry chain on insert, with a per-scan
memoized cache so each folder is resolved once per scan.
- POST /api/v1/folders/{id}/hide flips folders.is_hidden and runs a
WITH RECURSIVE CTE to recompute every folder's effective state in
one query, then bulk-updates photos WHERE IS DISTINCT FROM. Runs
in ~10 ms on a 13k-photo library.
Filters added (cross-cutting queries):
- /library/stats — every sidebar badge via a shared `visible` filter
- /photos (list) — only when neither folder_id nor heap_id is set;
folder browse and heap browse always show everything
- /photos/map
- /library/duplicates/groups
- /folders/tree photo_count subquery
- /tags count_subq (drives Tags + People sidebar counts)
- services/duplicates.regroup_duplicates (so hidden dupes never
contaminate the Duplicates view)
- services/search.hybrid_search — both semantic (pgvector) and FTS
legs join photos so rankings don't include hidden results
Intentionally NOT filtered:
- /photos?folder_id=X and /photos?heap_id=X (user-intentional browse)
- /library/maintenance/pipeline-stats (tracks real worker state)
- cleanup service (disk-level ops, not views)
Frontend:
- sourceFolders.setHidden(id, hidden) API client method
- FolderTreeNode.is_hidden carried through the tree into TreeItem
- LeftSidebar kebab menu: "Hide from views" / "Show in views" with a
mutation that invalidates folders, photos, stats, and tags caches
- Hidden folder rows swap the Folder icon for EyeOff and render the
label italic/muted so the state is visible at a glance

- Create face_embeddings table with pgvector Vector(128) + HNSW index
- Implement extract_faces task (YuNet detection + SFace recognition)
- Implement recluster_faces task (DBSCAN clustering → Tag(kind=face_cluster))
- Clusters are named "Person N" and get representative_photo_id
- cluster_id FK → tags.id, SET NULL on delete for merge/rename support
Migration 0005 creates the face_embeddings table.

- Create ocr_text table for storing per-region OCR results
- Add tsvector search_vector column to photos with GIN index and
auto-update trigger on filename/user_title/user_notes
- Implement ocr_photo Celery task using rapidocr-onnxruntime
- Add FTS leg to hybrid search: queries photos.search_vector and
ocr_text via UNION, fused with semantic results via RRF (k=60)
Migration 0004 backfills search_vector for existing rows.

Wire the full embedding flow:
- Rewrite Embedding model to use pgvector Vector(512) with HNSW index
- Add embed_photo, vision_fanout, backfill_vision Celery tasks on
dedicated `vision` queue
- Hook vision_fanout into generate_thumbnails completion
- Add POST /api/v1/photos/search with hybrid RRF ranking (semantic-only
for now; FTS leg added in PR5)
- Stub ocr_photo, detect_objects, extract_faces tasks for later PRs
Migration 0003 drops/recreates the embeddings table (was never populated).

Unify object detections, scene labels, and face clusters with user tags
via new columns on the existing Tag model:
- kind (user|object|scene|face_cluster), source, representative_photo_id
- photo_tags gains confidence, bbox (JSONB), source per-association
- Uniqueness moves from (name) to (name, kind) so ML labels coexist
with user tags without collision
Add Alembic migration 0002 with defensive IF NOT EXISTS guards.
Update tags router: kind filter on GET, merge endpoint for combining
auto-detected clusters/objects, include kind/source in list response.

Switch the default database from SQLite to Postgres + pgvector (via
pgvector/pgvector:pg16 Docker image) to support the upcoming vision
pipeline (embeddings, OCR, object detection, face clustering).
- Add `db` service to docker-compose.yml with healthcheck
- Wire `alembic upgrade head` into backend CMD before uvicorn
- Bootstrap empty 0001_baseline revision (schema still owned by create_all)
- Guard SQLite-only PRAGMAs and inline ALTERs behind _is_sqlite flag
- Run `CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector` on Postgres init
- Add asyncpg, psycopg2-binary, pgvector to requirements
- Provide docker-compose.sqlite.yml escape hatch for legacy SQLite mode
Fresh DB + rescan assumed — no SQLite→Postgres data migration.
