Two paired fixes for the folder tree on the timeline:
* +page.svelte: drop the `Path === ''` post-filter for the root entry.
PhotoPrism's indexer always nests photos under YYYY/MM, so "photos
whose Path is empty" is always the empty set in practice — the root
entry looked broken instead of "whole library". Treat `/` as the
unscoped view and rely on subfolder selections (now wildcarded via
filters.svelte.ts) for narrowing.
* sidecar/handlers_folders.go: the per-folder count fan-out used
`q=path:<x>`, the same exact-match operator that just got fixed in
the web filter. Result: every year-level folder reported count=0
in the sidebar. Switch to `q=path:"<x>*"` so the count reflects
the whole subtree (dedupe by UID still in place).
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.

Sidebar
- New `/` root-folder entry at the top of the Folders group. Active
when the timeline is scoped to root; the photo grid post-filters to
`Path === ''` because PhotoPrism's `path:` operator can't express an
exact-root match. Collapsible chevron, persisted to its own
localStorage key, and a kebab carrying just "New subfolder".
- Per-folder count badges. `/api/v1/photos?q=path:X&count=1000` per
folder in parallel via `listFolderCounts`; root count derived from
`config.count.all − Σ subfolder counts`.
- Folder tree starts at depth=1 under the root so nested rows indent
visually relative to `/`.
- Footer matches the Toolbar / action-bar h-9 height.
Timeline interaction
- Single click on a tile selects only that tile (clears others); the
preview now lives on dblclick. Modifier clicks still go through
`gridKeyNav`'s document handler (shift = range, cmd/ctrl = toggle).
- `x` (archive) now actually archives — PhotoPrism's photo PUT
silently drops the Archived field, so we route through
/batch/photos/{archive,restore} the same way the BulkActionBar
already did. Mirror for `u`.
- Preview close restores the timeline focus + scrolls the last-shown
photo into view via `forcedExpand`+`scrollTileIntoView` so it
actually mounts (selection ring would otherwise stay invisible when
the user navigated far in preview).
- `applyFolderScope` only narrows the timeline to root when the active
view is a folder view (no heap / search / non-default section), so
label clicks / heap views / favorites no longer drop subfolder
photos.
Action bar
- Inline `h-9` row at the bottom of the main column (not `fixed`),
matching the Toolbar's visual language. Right sidebar stays full
height — the bar only spans the timeline width.
- Approve action wired for the review pile.
Colors / Tags / Ratings drill-ins
- New shared `PhotoGrid` component owning tile rendering, selection
styling, single-click-selects + dblclick-previews, and `setOrder`
for arrow-key nav.
- Each route's drill-in `<main>` carries `use:gridKeyNav` and a
trailing `<BulkActionBar />` so shift/cmd/ctrl click, arrow keys,
and the keyboard shortcuts work the same as the timeline.
- Tags switches from `goto('/?q=label:…')` to an in-place drill-in
with a back button, mirroring `/colors`'s flow.
- Category cards + drill-in photo cards honour the global
`view.thumbnailSize` (XS–XL) so the timeline's size selector now
reaches into all four grids.
Settings
- General-settings dialog merges Appearance into UI and switches free
text inputs to selects for the PhotoPrism theme / language / start
page / map style (the value-from-server prepends if it's outside
the curated list so we never silently rewrite a custom value). Time
zone uses `<datalist>` with `Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone')`.
Sidecar
- Heap convert runs reindex synchronously per source path so the
client's invalidate-and-refetch sees the moved files.
Inbox
- New /inbox route stub for the upcoming import workflow.

- 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.
