The heap row used to fan out three small icon buttons (set active, convert
to folder, delete) on hover, which crowded the row and didn't leave room
for new actions. Collapse the destructive / occasional ones into a kebab
menu and add the missing operations.
- Right-aligned action cluster: active indicator → count badge → target
toggle (when not active) → kebab menu, all flex-shrink-0 so the name
truncates first.
- Kebab menu items: Rename, Duplicate, Move to folder…, Delete. Outside
click and Escape close the popover; the trigger has aria-haspopup +
aria-expanded. Delete still confirms via window.confirm.
- Inline rename: double-click a heap row OR pick Rename from the menu
to edit the name in place. Enter commits, Escape cancels. Mirrors the
folder rename pattern in LeftSidebar.
- backend: new POST /heaps/{id}/duplicate creates a copy with the same
membership ("{name} (copy)") via INSERT...SELECT on heap_photos.
Never marks the new heap as active so duplicating doesn't quietly
steal the user's T-key destination.
- api.ts: heaps.duplicate wrapper.

- api.ts: switch baseURL from http://localhost:8001/api/v1 to relative
/api/v1. Both nginx (prod) and vite (dev) already proxy /api/ to the
backend, so requests become same-origin and the app works from any
host (LAN IP, reverse proxy, another machine) with no CORS dance.
- backend CORS: open to "*" as a fallback for the rare direct-hit case;
the normal flow is same-origin via the proxy and never touches CORS.
- App layout: move FilterBar and DiscardActionBar inside the main
content column (right of the left sidebar) so the filter row no
longer bleeds across the sidebar.
- FilterBar: justify-center the pills so they sit centered above the
timeline. Clear-all uses ml-2 instead of ml-auto.
- KeyboardHints: convert to a floating, glassy pill pinned bottom-
center (fixed positioning + backdrop-blur + ring) instead of a flat
toolbar row. Removed from the column layout — now mounted as an
overlay sibling.

The bulk action panel previously covered rating, color, flag, and pick
but had no way to apply tags across a multi-photo selection — the only
path was to tag photos one at a time via the single-photo PhotoInfoPanel.
Add it.
- backend: extend the existing /photos/bulk action endpoint with
add_tags and remove_tags actions. add_tags is idempotent (computes
the new (photo_id, tag_id) pair set against existing rows and inserts
only the missing ones); remove_tags is a single DELETE WHERE IN.
- api.ts: bulkAddTags / bulkRemoveTags wrappers.
- RightSidebar: new BulkTagsEditor below the bulk flag row. Filters /
searches the existing tag list, lets the user click any chip to apply
it to the whole selection or X to remove it. Typing a name with no
exact match shows a "Create and apply" button that creates the tag
via tagsApi.create and immediately attaches it to every selected
photo. All three mutations invalidate both the photo and tag caches
so the FilterBar tag count + sidebar Tags section stay fresh.

Discarded photos now look discarded in the grid (50% opacity + grayscale)
with a red trash badge in the corner instead of a bare icon. The discard
action bar gains a "Delete N" button that permanently deletes only the
current selection, complementing the existing "Empty discard pile".
Backend: new DELETE /discard endpoint accepting {photo_ids: [...]} that
permanently removes only listed photos. Skips ids that aren't in the
discard pile so it can never bypass the soft-delete safety net.

Culling actions used to operate on a single photo (the activePhotoId)
even when many were selected — pressing 5 with ten thumbnails high-
lighted only rated one. Same for the RightSidebar buttons, which
weren't even visible in multi-select mode. Lightroom semantics: every
culling action applies to the whole selection.
Fix
- Three new bulk helpers in services/api.ts:
photos.bulkSetRating(ids, rating)
photos.bulkSetColor(ids, color | null)
(existing photos.bulkDiscard / bulkRestore reused for X / U)
All matching the backend BulkAction { ids, action, value } shape
the /photos/bulk endpoint already accepts.
useKeyboardShortcuts
- New cullTargets() helper: selectedPhotos if non-empty, else
activePhotoId in a singleton, else empty.
- updateActive() now branches on cullTargets().length:
1 → existing PATCH /photos/{id} path (single-photo).
2+ → fans out to the right bulk endpoint per field. rating goes
to bulkSetRating, color_label to bulkSetColor, is_discarded
to bulkDiscard / bulkRestore.
- 1-5 / 0 / X / U / 6-9 shortcuts now Just Work on multi-select
without further changes — they all funnel through updateActive.
RightSidebar
- Restructured the Quick Actions block: filename / title / notes are
hidden in multi-select (they only make sense for one photo); but
rating / color / flag controls are now always visible when at
least one photo is selected. A small "Rating, color, and flag
apply to all N selected" hint shows in multi mode.
- New applyRating / setColor / applyDiscard helpers fan out to the
bulk endpoints when selectedPhotos.length > 1, otherwise hit the
per-photo PATCH path. The displayed value still reflects the
active photo (last clicked) so the user has a visual anchor —
matches Lightroom's "focused vs selected" model.
- Pick/Heap-toggle button is now selection-aware too: heapMutation
takes ids[], the click handler reads selectedPhotos, and the
add-vs-remove decision uses "every selected is a member" exactly
like the P keyboard shortcut. Optimistic membership cache update
also flips the basket badge across all selected thumbnails
instantly.

The Folders section in the LeftSidebar previously rendered the flat
list of source roots — actual subdirectories were invisible. Now it
shows the full nested tree, click any node to filter, drop targets
work at every depth.
Backend
- New GET /folders/tree returning a list of root nodes (one per
active SourceRoot). Each node is { id, name, path, photo_count,
children: [...] } with children sorted alphabetically at every
level. Walks Folder rows whose source_root_id matches and whose
path is at or beneath the source root, then attaches them by
parent path so partial scans don't break the tree.
- The source root's display label is overlaid on the root folder
node so the top-level entry reads as "Library" instead of
"/photos".
- list_photos folder_id filter now does descendant matching: when
a Folder id is given, it includes the folder itself and every
Folder whose path is a sep-prefixed descendant. Matches the
Lightroom mental model: clicking "Library" or any parent folder
shows everything beneath it. The existing source-root-id branch
is unchanged.
Frontend
- New types/api.ts FolderTreeNode interface and sourceFolders.tree()
helper.
- New hooks/useFolderTreeQuery.ts with a 30s staleTime and a
findFolderInTree() walker for id-based name lookups.
- LeftSidebar drops the flat foldersData list and uses the tree
query. folderNodeToTreeItem recursively maps backend nodes into
the existing TreeItem shape; renderTreeItem already knew how to
recurse into children, so the tree just works at any depth.
Drop targets, drag-to-move, drag-to-copy, double-click rename,
and active-state highlighting all carry over to nested folders.
- The renameMutation now also invalidates ['folders', 'tree'] so a
source-root rename refreshes the tree label immediately.
- ActiveFilterChips switches to the tree query and uses the new
findFolderInTree walker so the chip label resolves correctly for
sub-folder filters too — not just top-level source roots.
- The "Scan all folders" button visibility now keys off the tree
length instead of the flat folders length.

The previous /heaps/{id}/convert dropped photos directly into a chosen
source root, which is rarely what you want — Lightroom-style behaviour
is "make a folder named after the collection inside the library".
Now the dialog lets you do that.
Backend
- HeapConvertBody gains an optional subfolder_name field. Path
separators and dot-segments are rejected. When set, the handler
joins it onto the resolved parent_dir, mkdir's it if missing, and
uses the resulting path as the move/copy destination. Otherwise
the parent_dir itself is used (unchanged behaviour).
- The Folder DB row for the destination is created via the existing
scanner get_or_create_folder helper so dedupe + path normalization
stay consistent across the codebase.
- The target source root id is propagated through both the source-
root and folder branches so the new Folder row is correctly
parented when subfolder_name is set on a folder target too.
Frontend
- HeapConvertDialog grows a "Subfolder name" input that prefills
with the heap name when the dialog opens. Trimmed empty value
drops directly into the parent. A live hint below the input
shows exactly which path will be created (or that the parent
will be used).
- api.ts heaps.convert() signature accepts an optional
subfolder_name field; the dialog sends it via mutationFn.

Two related polish items.
1. Heap convert to folder
Closes a long-standing TODO from spec §6.10.
- Backend: POST /heaps/{id}/convert with body
{ target_id, mode: 'move'|'copy', delete_heap: bool }
target_id resolves either as a Folder id or a SourceRoot id (same
convention as /photos/move). For each member photo, dispatches
either shutil.move + photo.folder_id update, or shutil.copy2 +
a new is_duplicate=true Photo row with all metadata copied. Name
collisions on copy use the same " (copy N)" suffix scheme as
/photos/copy. The heap row is optionally deleted on success.
Per-photo failures are collected into the response instead of
aborting the batch.
- Frontend: new HeapConvertDialog with a target-folder dropdown
(currently from sourceFolders.list, sub-folder picking is a
follow-up), move/copy radio, and a "delete heap" checkbox.
HeapsPanel rows get a hover FolderOutput button that opens it.
Toast on success names the verb + count and notes whether the
heap was deleted; invalidates heaps + photos + folders queries.
2. Surface exact-duplicate detection
The scanner already sets Photo.is_duplicate=true when a SHA-256
match is found, but nothing surfaced it. Now:
- Backend list_photos accepts an optional is_duplicate query
param so the frontend can filter duplicates-only views.
- filterStore gains a duplicates: boolean field with setter, URL
sync (?duplicates=true), filtersToParams entry, and a
hasActiveFilters check.
- LeftSidebar gets a new "Duplicates" library node (Copy icon)
that clearAllFilters() + setDuplicates(true). isItemActive
follows the filter so the highlight stays in sync after
external filter changes.
- PhotoThumbnail renders a small dark badge with the Copy icon
bottom-right when photo.is_duplicate. Sits next to the existing
basket / discard badges so the user can spot duplicates at a
glance.
- Photo TS type adds is_duplicate.
Perceptual-hash duplicate detection (re-encoded / resized matches)
is intentionally a follow-up — needs an imagehash dep, a phash
column, a backfill job, and similarity-search endpoint with
hamming-distance grouping. This commit only surfaces what the
scanner already finds via byte-level SHA-256 comparison.

The Tag model and photo_tags join table were already in place; this
fills in the rest — full backend CRUD, per-photo add/remove, list-
endpoint filtering, and a Tags section in the RightSidebar with
autocomplete-create.
Backend
- routers/tags.py rewritten from a 27-line stub:
GET /tags — list with photo counts
POST /tags — create (idempotent on name)
PATCH /tags/{id} — rename / recolor
DELETE /tags/{id} — delete (FK cascades photo_tags)
- routers/photos.py:
POST /photos/{id}/tags — add tag ids (idempotent)
DELETE /photos/{id}/tags/{tag_id} — remove
GET /photos/{id} — now returns a `tags` list alongside
the existing PhotoResponse fields
(fetched via the photo_tags join)
- list_photos applies the existing tag_ids query param: comma-
separated, AND semantics, one IN-subquery per id since SQLite
has no native set-contains-all.
Frontend
- New hooks/useTagsQuery.ts.
- services/api.ts: Tag interface, full tags client (list/create/
update/delete), addToPhoto/removeFromPhoto helpers.
- filterStore: tagIds: string[] field, setTagIds, toggleTagId,
hasActiveFilters update, filtersToParams sends tag_ids comma list.
- useFilterUrlSync round-trips ?tag_ids=… so tag-filtered views
are bookmarkable.
- usePhotosQuery threads tagIds through.
- RightSidebar gains a new Tags section using a TagsEditor
component:
- shows existing tag chips with X to remove
- autocomplete input that matches the user's typing against
existing tag names
- shows an inline "+ Create '<name>'" affordance when there's
no exact match
- Enter creates and attaches in one shot; Esc clears the input
- existing colour values render as a tinted chip background
- FilterBar gets a Tags group (only rendered when there's at
least one tag) with toggleable chips per tag.
- ActiveFilterChips shows "Tag: <name>" chips for each active
tag id, looking up names lazily from the tags query.

Three small phase-11 follow-ups in one commit since they all touch the
same surface area.
1. Watcher source-root resolution
The watch_folders task previously called scan_folder.delay(parent_dir)
when files arrived, with no source_root_id. scan_folder would then
auto-create a fresh SourceRoot for that arbitrary subdir, polluting
the source_root list. Now the watcher loads (path, id) pairs at
startup, defines find_source_root_for() that walks the parent chain,
and dispatches with the resolved id. Events under no known root are
logged at debug and ignored instead of creating stale rows.
2. Folder rename via UI
- Backend: PATCH /folders/{id} accepts { name } and updates the
SourceRoot display label only. The on-disk path is controlled by
the docker mount and intentionally not editable from the UI.
- Frontend: double-click a folder row in the LeftSidebar to start
editing; Enter or blur commits, Esc reverts. New renamingId /
renameDraft local state and a renameMutation that invalidates
['folders']. The click handler ignores clicks while the row is
in edit mode so it doesn't navigate.
- api.ts: new sourceFolders.rename(id, name) helper.
3. Bulk copy via Alt-drag onto folder
- Backend: new POST /photos/copy that mirrors /photos/move but uses
shutil.copy2 and creates fresh Photo rows with is_duplicate=true.
Name collisions are resolved by appending " (copy)", " (copy 2)",
etc., up to 100 tries before erroring. Same target_id resolution
as /move (folder id or source root id).
- Frontend: photos.copy(ids, targetId) helper. LeftSidebar's
handleDrop now takes a `copy` flag derived from e.altKey on the
drop event; folder targets dispatch copyDropMutation when held,
moveDropMutation otherwise. The drop-effect cursor flips to
'copy' on dragover when Alt is pressed so the user gets visual
confirmation. Discard target ignores the modifier.

The frontend AddSourceFolderDialog let users register source roots
from inside the app, but with the bootstrap auto-creating one for
the /photos mount on first boot, the dialog was redundant in the
common case and confusing in every other (users had to know which
container path corresponded to their host directory). Going
config-driven matches Plex/Photoprism/Immich and matches the
mental model "the docker mount IS the library".
Frontend
- Deleted components/dialogs/AddSourceFolderDialog.tsx entirely.
- LeftSidebar drops the "+ Add Source Folder" button + bottom-bar
layout, the addFolderMutation, the dead Plus action button on
the (no-longer-existing) folders/heaps tree headers, and the
Plus icon import.
- api.ts: removed sourceFolders.add(), library.browse(), and the
BrowseChild / BrowseResponse types. The remaining sourceFolders
surface is read-only (list + manual scan).
- LeftSidebar bottom strip is now just the "Scan all folders"
button when there's at least one source root.
Backend
- Dropped POST /folders (no consumers) along with FolderCreate /
FolderResponse pydantic models. The folders router header now
documents the config-driven approach.
- Dropped GET /library/browse (no consumers). Removed the unused
os/HTTPException/SourceRoot imports it brought in.
- cleanup_data_integrity now also walks the source roots and logs
a warning for any whose path is missing on disk. Doesn't auto-
delete (a missing path could be a temporarily unmounted drive)
but surfaces enough hint to fix it. Returns the count in the
summary dict alongside merged-duplicates.
Docs
- README "How libraries are managed" section rewritten to spell
out that mounts ARE source roots, edit .env + restart, no UI for
managing source roots. New "Changing or adding libraries"
section walks through the typical edit-restart loop including
the optional volume-nuke for a clean slate.
- "Adding more libraries" subsection covers multi-mount via
edited compose with a note that auto-registration is roadmap.

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.

Tried it, didn't add value beyond what the date-grouped timeline
already gives. The grouped, sticky-headered timeline (which kicks
in by default whenever sortBy is taken_at) is the better
affordance for date navigation — duplicating that as a sidebar
drilldown was just clutter.
Removes the full stack:
- LeftSidebar: by-date tree node, byDateChildren computation,
date-year-/date-month- handlers in applyLibraryNode, isItemActive
branches that matched a date-range filter, the now-unused
setDateFrom/setDateTo/filterDateFrom/filterDateTo selectors, and
the Calendar icon import.
- frontend/src/hooks/useDateBucketsQuery.ts deleted entirely.
- api.ts: library.dateBuckets helper and DateBucketYear/Month types.
- backend/app/routers/library.py: GET /library/date_buckets endpoint
and its strftime aggregation query.
The dateFrom/dateTo filter state stays in filterStore — the
FilterBar still uses it for the "Date" range inputs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The "By Date" library node was decorative. Now it's a real
hierarchical navigator: expand to see year buckets (with photo
counts), expand a year to see its months, click any year or
month to filter the timeline to that date range.
Backend
- New GET /library/date_buckets aggregates non-discarded photos
by year+month from Photo.taken_at via SQLite strftime, returning
[{ year, count, months: [{ month, count }] }] sorted newest-
first. NULL taken_at rows are excluded.
Frontend
- New library.dateBuckets() helper + DateBucketYear / Month types.
- New hooks/useDateBucketsQuery.ts with a 60s staleTime.
- LeftSidebar builds the By Date subtree dynamically from the
query: each year is a tree node with month children. Year nodes
use the Calendar icon, months render as their full English name.
- applyLibraryNode handles two new id prefixes:
'date-year-{year}' → setDateFrom YYYY-01-01, setDateTo YYYY-12-31
'date-month-{Y}-{M}'→ setDateFrom YYYY-MM-01, setDateTo YYYY-MM-LL
where LL is the last day of the month (computed via Date trick
new Date(year, month, 0).getDate() — uses month-day=0 to roll
back into the previous month's last day).
- isItemActive recognises when the current dateFrom/dateTo matches
a year or month node so the sidebar selection highlight stays
in sync with the filter store (also when filters are set
externally via the filter bar or URL hydration).

Bulk-move via drag-and-drop. Drop a photo (or multi-selection) on
any folder row in the LeftSidebar and the files move on disk +
photo.folder_id updates atomically.
Backend
- New POST /photos/move accepting { photo_ids, target_id }. The
target_id can be either a Folder id OR a SourceRoot id (the
sidebar exposes source roots today, so the same drag target
needs to resolve either).
- Resolves source roots to their on-disk path and looks up / creates
the canonical Folder row via the existing scan get_or_create_folder
helper, so dedupe + path normalization stay consistent with the
scanner.
- Per-photo loop with shutil.move; per-file failures (target name
collision, missing source, OS error) are collected into a
structured `errors` array and don't abort the batch.
- Skips photos that are already in the target folder so re-drops
are a no-op.
Frontend
- New photos.move(ids, targetId) helper in api.ts.
- LeftSidebar grows a moveDropMutation alongside the existing
discard one. handleDrop dispatches by id prefix:
'discarded' → discard, 'folder-{id}' → move.
- Folder rows now report acceptsDrop and get the same drag-over
highlight as heap drops, in primary tint instead of reject.
- onSuccess invalidates both the photos query and the folders
query so the new folder counts in the sidebar refresh.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Same drag pattern as the heap drop, but the target is the Discarded
library node. The dropped photos go to is_discarded=true via a
single bulk request.
Backend: the /photos/bulk endpoint already had a 'discard' action
branch; the missing piece was a frontend client that sent the right
shape. The previous photos.bulkUpdate sent
{ photo_ids, discard: true } against a backend that wanted
{ ids, action } — silently broken since day one. Replaced with two
narrow helpers that match BulkAction exactly: photos.bulkDiscard(ids)
and photos.bulkRestore(ids).
Frontend: LeftSidebar grows a small dnd state machine — dropTargetId
for the hovered row, isDropTarget(id) for which library nodes accept
drops, handleDrop(id, ids) for the dispatch. Today only the
'discarded' node is wired; folder rows for bulk move come next.
Drop highlight uses the reject ring/tint to match the destructive
nature of the action. Toast confirms; photos query is invalidated
so the timeline immediately drops them.

The first phase-11 file operation. Lightroom-style inline rename
of a single photo, in place, in its current directory.
Backend (PATCH /photos/{id})
- PhotoUpdate schema accepts an optional `filename`.
- When set, the handler validates: non-empty, no path separators,
no `..`/`.`, target name doesn't already exist in the directory,
source file exists on disk.
- os.renames the file inside its current directory, then updates
photo.filename + photo.filepath atomically. The DB only changes
after a successful rename — a filesystem failure leaves the
rest of the row untouched.
- Other PhotoUpdate fields still apply afterwards in the same
request.
Frontend (RightSidebar)
- Filename is now an editable monospace input above the Title
input. Same draft + commit pattern as title/notes (local draft,
resync on photo.id change, on-blur or Enter commits).
- Esc reverts to the server value.
- Client-side validation mirrors the backend (rejects path
separators and dot-segments) and shows a toast on backend
errors with the FastAPI detail message, then rolls the draft
back so the input matches the still-on-disk filename.
- Removed the old read-only Filename Field from the Basic Info
section to avoid showing the same value twice.

Pick and add-to-heap were two ways of saying "I want to keep this
one". Merging them: P now toggles the selection's membership in the
active heap. The is_picked flag goes away (orphaned in the DB the
same way is_trashed was).
Backend
- Drop is_picked from PhotoBase / PhotoUpdate / PhotoResponse and
from the photos list filter param.
- Drop the is_picked Column from the Photo model (DB column stays
on legacy installs but is no longer read or written).
- Drop the bulk action 'pick' branch.
- New GET /heaps/{id}/photo_ids returns just the flat string list.
Used by the frontend for fast client-side membership lookups
without fetching full photo records.
Frontend
- New hooks/useActiveHeapMembersQuery.ts → returns
{ activeHeap, memberIds: Set<string> }. Subscribes once at the
Timeline level and passes a derived isInActiveHeap bool down to
each PhotoThumbnail (avoids hundreds of thumbnails subscribing
to the same query).
- PhotoThumbnail: replaces the old check-icon Pick affordance with
a clear basket badge in the bottom-right corner — a small filled
pick-colour pill containing a ShoppingBasket icon — visible only
when the photo belongs to the active heap.
- P shortcut (useKeyboardShortcuts) now toggles membership: if every
selected photo is already a member, it removes them; otherwise it
adds the missing ones. T binding removed (P fully replaces it).
- RightSidebar Pick button is now a Pick / Picked toggle bound to
the active heap. Disabled with a hint when no heap is active.
Shows the heap name in its title attr.
- filterStore drops 'picked' and 'unflagged' from FlagFilter.
FilterBar's flag dropdown is now just Any / Discarded.
- LeftSidebar drops the "Flagged" virtual node (it just set
flag=picked, which no longer exists).
- KeyboardHints: P → "Pick → heap".
- Photo TS type drops is_picked.

Adds the missing editable fields from spec §6.6 metadata sidebar.
The mutation path already existed (used by the keyboard culling
shortcuts) — this just surfaces the controls.
- Title: text input. Save on Enter or blur. Esc reverts.
- Notes: textarea, 3 rows. Save on blur.
- Color label: 6-dot picker (red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple)
with a clear button. Click an active dot to clear, or use the X.
- Local "draft" state for the text fields so typing stays
responsive and stale refetches don't clobber in-progress edits.
Drafts re-sync on photo.id change.
- Sends null for empty string so the backend stores NULL instead
of an empty string (cleaner for FTS5 / future filtering).
api.ts: widens photos.update() signature to match the backend
PhotoUpdate schema — accepts user_title/user_notes/color_label
(nullable) plus is_picked/is_discarded/taken_at, which were
missing despite already being used by other call sites.

Adds the spec §6.10 heaps concept: named photo collections with a
single "active" target for fast keyboard adds. Uses a basket icon
(ShoppingBasket) to visually distinguish heaps from folders.
Backend (routers/heaps.py)
- Replaces the 27-line stub with full CRUD: list (with photo counts
via a single LEFT JOIN), create, patch (rename + set active), delete.
- Add/remove photos endpoints with idempotent semantics: re-adding an
existing member is a no-op, removing a non-member is a no-op.
- Setting is_active=true on one heap clears the flag on every other
heap in a single UPDATE so we maintain the single-active invariant.
- routers/photos.py list endpoint now applies the heap_id filter via
IN-subquery against heap_photos (it was a declared param but had
no filter logic).
Frontend
- New hooks/useHeapsQuery.ts and useFilterUrlSync wires heap_id as
another URL-persisted filter; usePhotosQuery threads it through.
- New components/heaps/HeapsPanel.tsx replaces the LeftSidebar Heaps
stub. Shows the basket icon, photo counts, lets you create heaps
inline, click to filter the timeline, set active via the target
icon, and delete heaps.
- TopBar shows an "active heap" pill (basket + name) so the user
always knows where the next T-press will land.
- KeyboardHints adds T → Add to heap.
T shortcut (useKeyboardShortcuts)
- Reads the active heap from the heaps query cache and the selection
from the photo store at fire time. Adds the selected photos (or the
active photo if nothing is selected) via POST /heaps/{id}/photos.
- Toasts:
- "Added to {heap}: N photos (M already present)" on success
- "No active heap" hint when none is set
- "Nothing selected" hint when there's no selection or active photo

User-facing labels and code now use "discard" (verb) and "Discarded"
(state/view label) instead of "trash" / "Trashed". The DB column names
stay (is_trashed / trashed_at) so no migration is required — only the
SQLAlchemy attribute names are renamed via Column('old_name', ...).
Backend
- Photo model: is_discarded / discarded_at attributes (DB columns
unchanged).
- PhotoBase / PhotoResponse / PhotoUpdate schemas use the new field
names.
- Photos list endpoint: is_discarded query param, filter logic.
- DELETE /photos/{id} now sets is_discarded; success message updated.
- Bulk action 'trash' renamed to 'discard'.
- backend/app/routers/trash.py renamed to discard.py with renamed
functions and route prefix /api/v1/discard.
- main.py imports and mounts the discard router.
- tasks/scan.py marks missing files as is_discarded.
Frontend
- Photo TS type: is_discarded.
- PhotoThumbnail: shows the trash-can icon when is_discarded.
- RightSidebar: button label "Discard"; mutation field name; local
variable rename.
- TopBar: discardPhotosMutation and "Discard" button; toast text
"Discarded".
- LeftSidebar: virtual node id 'discarded' / label "Discarded".
- FilterBar / filterStore / useFilterUrlSync: FlagFilter enum value
'trashed' → 'discarded'; backend param key is_discarded.
- KeyboardHints: X label "Discard".
- useKeyboardShortcuts: PhotoUpdate field rename, X handler.
- api.ts: /trash routes → /discard, trash export → discard,
bulkUpdate trash field → discard.
Out of scope (intentional): the docker-compose trash_data volume,
backend/Dockerfile mkdir /data/trash, config.py TrashSettings, and
the spec doc — all unused since soft-discard, and renaming them is
churn for no benefit.

Adds GET /photos/{id}/proxy that decodes RAW (rawpy), HEIC (pillow-heif),
and TIFF to a cached full-resolution WebP at /data/proxies/{id}.webp.
Web-safe formats (JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF) pass through to the original to
avoid pointless transcoding. RAW failures fall back to extracting the
embedded JPEG preview. Mirrors the X-Accel-Redirect pattern from the
existing thumb endpoint.
Also fixes GET /photos/{id}/original to return the correct image/jpeg,
image/png, video/mp4, etc. content types instead of always serving
application/octet-stream, so <img> and <video> tags can render the
file inline rather than triggering a download.
Frontend: adds photos.getProxyUrl() helper in services/api.ts.
