Client-side paging of listPhotosWithNotes stopped early for BasePath users:
the sidecar post-filters each page by BasePath, so a full upstream page can
arrive short, tripping the `length < PAGE` end condition before the library
is exhausted — hiding notes past the first slice.
Add GET /api/sidecar/notes: the sidecar pages /api/v1/photos to completion
(keying the loop off the raw upstream page length), filters to non-empty
Caption under the caller's BasePath, dedupes by UID, and returns the set.
listPhotosWithNotes now calls this single endpoint.

- Added 401-handling response interceptor to sidecar axios instance
(matches existing http instance) so expired/invalid tokens redirect
to login instead of showing raw 404/401 errors
- Added GET /api/sidecar/folders — proxies PhotoPrism's
/api/v1/folders/originals with BasePath post-filter
- Updated listFolders() frontend to call sidecar proxy
- Updated plan with remaining fixes
- New GET /api/sidecar/timeline — proxies PP's /api/v1/photos and
post-filters by FileName prefix matching the user's BasePath
- Also works for review/archive views (q=review:true, q=archived:true)
- Frontend route uses /timeline to avoid Gin route conflict with
existing /photos/:uid/marks pattern
- New GET /api/sidecar/labels — proxies PP's labels, recalculates
PhotoCount per user's BasePath via DB query
- New GET /api/sidecar/counts — returns user-scoped sidebar badges
(all, review, archived, private, photos, videos, favorites)
- Fixed auth middleware to expose userUID and basePath on context
- Fixed ppClient.resolveSession — uses correct endpoint
(GET /api/v1/session, not /api/v1/session/{token}) and correct
JSON field names (UID, Name instead of UserUID, UserName)
- Frontend: listLabels now calls /api/sidecar/labels instead of /api/v1/labels
PhotoPrism's OSS edition has no way to map OIDC claims to BasePath, so
every freshly-registered OIDC user lands with BasePath="" and either
sees the whole library (admin) or nothing (guest) — never their own
subfolder.
Introduces a sidecar-driven reconciler with a single env knob the
admin sets in docker-compose / .env.photoprism:
USER_BASEPATHS="test:test, alice:family/alice, bob:bob"
(`user:originals-relative-path` pairs, comma-separated.) On boot and
every 60s thereafter the sidecar:
- mkdir -p's the target subdirectory under ORIGINALS_ROOT so
PhotoPrism's path: ACL filter has somewhere real to point;
- UPDATEs photoprism.auth_users.base_path for the matching row
where it differs (idempotent, missing users skipped — they
materialise on first OIDC login and the next pass catches them).
The reconciler uses a separate gorm connection scoped to the
`photoprism` schema with PhotoPrism's own DB user, since the existing
`sidecar` user only has grants on `mule_sidecar.*`. Connection stays
dormant when PP_DB_PASSWORD is empty — the feature is opt-in via env.
Compose changes: thread PP_DB_* + USER_BASEPATHS through to the
sidecar service. New users.go file isolates the reconciler logic;
main.go calls startUserBasepathReconciler() during boot.
Six-item frontend performance pass on the SvelteKit app.
P1 — Move per-folder photo counts to a new sidecar endpoint and defer
the fetch to requestIdleCallback. The old client-side path fired one
/photos?count=1000 per folder from the browser (≈1 MB JSON × N folders)
on every cold sidebar mount; the new POST /api/sidecar/folders/counts
fans out over loopback with bounded concurrency and returns a single
{path: count} payload of a few KB.
P2 — Bound the visibleRange scroll-scan around the previous visible
band instead of sweeping every shell from index 0 on each scroll-rAF.
Falls back to a full sweep on cache miss (filter reset, programmatic
jump) so behaviour is unchanged at the edges.
P3 — Adaptive thumbnail size + srcset. PhotoTile now picks the smallest
PhotoPrism tile_* variant (100/224/500) that covers the user's grid
preset at the current DPR. Adds decoding="async".
P4 — Lift the selection check above the {#each} loop. Mostly readability
— SvelteSet.has() is already per-key reactive — but keeps the hot loop
body terse.
P5 — Split dedupedAll / photos derivations so filter-store mutations
(search-as-you-type, section toggles) don't re-walk every loaded page;
only the cheap folder-scope filter re-runs.
P6 — Dynamic-import PreviewOverlay on first preview.uid !== null and
cache the loaded module; closing the overlay leaves the component
mounted with its internal {#if} collapsing the DOM.

- 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.
