Eliminates false positives (dog faces, painting faces) by requiring
score >= 0.85. Tighten cluster eps to 0.25 for better separation.
Tested: 4 real faces from 2 photos, no false positives.

- recluster_faces now writes photo_tags rows for each face cluster so
the tag count and tag_ids filter work (previously count was always 0)
- Old cluster tags and photo_tags are cleaned up before re-clustering
- Raise face detection threshold from 0.4 to 0.7 to reduce false
positives (was detecting dog faces as people)

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.

The CORS allowed-origins list, host port mappings, log level, container
timezone, and worker concurrency are now all driven by environment
variables with sane defaults. Same-origin access through the nginx
proxy keeps working with no config; direct cross-origin backend
access can be locked down via ALLOWED_ORIGINS.
- backend/config: ALLOWED_ORIGINS env (comma-separated, "*" for any)
exposed via settings.cors_origins. LOG_LEVEL too.
- backend/main: build the CORS middleware from settings.cors_origins,
auto-disable allow_credentials when origins is wildcard (CORS spec
forbids credentials + "*").
- docker-compose: parameterize FRONTEND_PORT, BACKEND_PORT, REDIS_PORT,
CELERYD_CONCURRENCY, LOG_LEVEL, and TZ via ${VAR:-default} so each
has a working fallback if the .env entry is missing.
- .env.example: new template documenting every knob with examples.
- .env: pruned to only the values that diverge from .env.example;
removed dead VITE_API_URL.
- README: configuration knobs table + "accessing from another machine"
section explaining the same-origin proxy story.

Cleans up the maze of overlapping ways folders entered the app, plus
removes the dead trash plumbing left over from the soft-discard
refactor.
Setup model (now)
- ONE env var: PHOTO_DIRS in .env, set to the host path of your
library. Compose mounts that at /photos. That's the entire setup.
- On first boot, the backend auto-creates a SourceRoot row named
"Library" pointing at /photos so the user sees their photos
immediately without configuring anything.
- Source roots and discard live in the database; mulita.yml only
carries operational settings (thumbnails, scanner, performance).
- The "Add Source Folder" dialog is now a directory browser
restricted server-side to /photos and any existing source root —
the user clicks through actual mounted directories instead of
typing container paths they can't possibly know.
Backend
- New services/scanner.bootstrap_default_source_root(): if no
SourceRoot rows exist and /photos is mounted, create one. Wired
into the lifespan handler before cleanup + initial scan.
- New GET /library/browse?path= returning the immediate child
directories of `path`, validated to live under one of the allowed
roots (default mount + every active SourceRoot). Hidden entries
are filtered. Children are tagged with is_existing_root so the UI
can show an "Added" badge. Returns parent path for up-nav, or
null when at the top of the allowed scope.
- scan_all_source_roots now reads from the DB instead of the YAML
config so DB-managed source roots are honoured by initial scan.
- Dropped the placeholder source_roots block from mulita.yml — the
paths /photos/main and /photos/iphone never existed and just
produced startup warnings.
- Dropped TrashSettings, settings.trash, settings.source_roots,
and the SourceRoot pydantic model from config.py. Soft discard
has owned this for a while; it was dead code.
Compose
- Single ${PHOTO_DIRS:-./photos}:/photos:rw mount in both backend
and worker.
- Removed the hardcoded ~/Pictures:/host/Pictures:rw mount — the
PHOTO_DIRS variable is the single source of truth now.
- Removed the trash_data named volume + mounts (no consumers).
- backend/Dockerfile no longer creates /data/trash; it now creates
/data/proxies (which the proxy endpoint actually uses).
Frontend
- AddSourceFolderDialog rewritten as a directory tree picker:
loads /library/browse on open, lets the user navigate up via a
ChevronUp button or down by clicking subfolders, shows the
current path inline, and adds whatever directory is currently
shown. Existing source roots are tagged "Added" so the user
knows what's already registered. Errors from the backend (e.g.
trying to navigate outside the allowed scope) surface inline.
- New library.browse() helper + BrowseChild / BrowseResponse types
in services/api.ts.
Docs
- README Quick Start rewritten around the single PHOTO_DIRS env
var, with macOS/Linux/Windows examples.
- New "How mounted folders and source folders relate" section that
spells out the two-layer model (mount = visibility, source root
= scanning) so the most common confusion is addressed up front.
- Added a "Read-only libraries" subsection that lists exactly which
endpoints fail under :ro.
- "Configuration" section reframed: source roots are managed by the
UI/API now, mulita.yml is operational settings only.
- .env file now has examples for the common host paths.
