Two unrelated bugs surfaced together because the symptom looked
similar ("missing photos in the grid"):
usePhotosQuery only ever fetched page 1 with per_page=500, so any
filter matching more than 500 photos silently truncated. With a
13k-photo library that meant the Timeline only showed ~3.8% of
matches and folders with many descendants looked broken. Walks all
pages now (capped at 200 = 100k photos as a sanity bound), keying
the React Query cache on the full filter set as before.
Timeline grid was leaving an unused horizontal strip on the right.
Two issues in the column math:
- off-by-one: floor((W - 2P) / (T + G)) double-counts gaps. With N
columns there are only N-1 inter-cell gaps, so the correct form
is floor((W - 2P + G) / (T + G)). Reclaims a column whenever the
remainder almost fits.
- the floor remainder was discarded instead of distributed back
into the cells. Treat THUMBNAIL_SIZE as a minimum and stretch
each cell to (available - (cols-1)*gap) / cols so the row fills
the container.
Also swap the resize listener for a ResizeObserver on the scroll
container so the grid re-flows when the sidebar collapses (window
resize alone misses that).

- photos.py: stop crashing in FileResponse when a thumb hasn't been
generated; return a clean 404 with Retry-After so the frontend can
back off.
- thumbs.py: fix process_video_thumbnail (overwrite_output, robust
duration probe across stream/format, eager frame load + temp cleanup)
so videos stop ending up as the gray placeholder.
- library.py: new /maintenance/* endpoints — thumbnail-stats,
regenerate-thumbnails (with media_type / only_failed filters), and a
manual data-integrity cleanup trigger.
- Frontend Settings panel (gear in TopBar) surfacing those endpoints
plus a re-scan button and live thumbnail status counts.
- PhotoThumbnail: stretch the auto-retry schedule for slow RAW jobs.

The badges on a thumbnail were a rainbow — yellow stars, blue check,
green heap pill, red discard, black duplicate — and read as five
unrelated palettes. Collapse to a single family.
PhotoThumbnail:
- Rating stars: bg-primary pill with white star icons (was yellow on
a translucent dark backing).
- Heap basket / name chip: bg-primary (was bg-pick green).
- Duplicate badge: bg-primary (was bg-black/70).
- Discarded badge: bg-black/75 (kept neutral-dark, deliberately NOT
blue, so "in this collection" and "trashed" never collapse into the
same visual).
- All badges share the white outer ring + thicker icon stroke from
the previous contrast pass.
HeapsPanel:
- Active heap row uses bg-primary/8 instead of bg-pick/10.
- Basket icon turns text-primary on the active row (was text-pick).
- "Active" pill uses bg-primary/25 + text-primary (was bg-pick/25 +
text-pick).
The whole indicator family now reads as one consistent thing in the
brand blue.

- PhotoThumbnail: the bottom-right basket badge now expands into a
name chip when the active heap name is supplied. Truncated to a
120px max-width so it doesn't eat the thumbnail.
- Timeline: read activeHeap.name from useActiveHeapMembersQuery and
pipe it down to PhotoThumbnail.
- TopBar: drop the leftover heap pill next to "Mulimago" — the active
state now lives where the user navigates to it (the heaps row).
- HeapsPanel: the active heap row gets a soft bg-pick/10 wash when
not also filtered, the basket icon turns text-pick, and a small
"ACTIVE" pill renders next to the name. Together they make it
obvious which heap Pick / T target without needing the topbar pill.

- Bump primary from #3b6ed8 to #3b82f6 (Tailwind blue-500). Higher
saturation reads better against both the dark surface and varied
photo content. Contrast against bg-bg goes from ~5.7:1 to ~6.6:1.
- Selection ring: add ring-offset-2 ring-offset-bg so the bright blue
has a dark gap separating it from the photo edge — pops on light
and dark photos alike. Hover ring gets the same treatment.
- Selection check badge: white ring + shadow + thicker stroke so the
badge is legible against any photo (was disappearing on bright
scenes).
- Rating stars: wrap in a translucent dark pill with backdrop-blur so
yellow stars don't vanish on yellow / sandy photos.
- Heap / duplicate / discarded badges: matching white ring + thicker
icon stroke so they all read consistently and don't blend in.
- Timeline date headers: text-text instead of text-text-muted so the
group labels actually pop above the grid.

PreviewView mounts its own arrow handlers via useHotkeys. The Timeline
also installed a window-level keydown listener for grid arrow nav, with
no viewMode check, so in preview mode BOTH handlers fired on every
arrow press and raced to call setActivePhoto. The grid handler walks
photoRows (grid cells) while preview walks the visible-order array,
and whichever store update landed last won, making preview nav land on
the wrong photo.
Telltale: Shift+arrow worked because PreviewView's plain useHotkeys
('left'/'right') doesn't match Shift+arrow, so only Timeline fired and
its visual-grid path got the right neighbor.
Fix: early-return Timeline's keyboard effect when viewMode !== 'grid'.
The listener stays attached to viewMode in the dep array so it
re-engages instantly on closePreview.

Two related bugs around visible vs API order.
1. Multi-select range selection (Shift+Click, Shift+Arrow):
- The previous selectRange walked the API photos array and only
ADDED to the existing selection, never replacing or shrinking. So
Shift+clicking to the left often "did nothing" (already-selected
ids skipped) and the selection never matched the user's intended
range.
- Replace with a store action that walks visiblePhotoIds (the visual
row-major sequence Timeline already publishes), de-dupes ids
(tag-grouped views can repeat photos), and REPLACES the selection.
- Track the range anchor as rangeStartId (a photo id) instead of an
index so it survives filter changes and works correctly when API
index != visual position.
- Drop the now-redundant lastSelectedIndex / globalIndex plumbing
from selectPhoto / togglePhotoSelection — call sites simplify to
pass just the photo id.
2. Preview navigation after pressing Space:
- The Space hotkey path called openPreview(id) without a sequence
and relied on the store's fallback to whatever Timeline most
recently published. Make it explicit: read visiblePhotoIds from
the store snapshot at fire time and pass it through. Same effect
in the happy case but eliminates any subtle publisher timing
question.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Previously the visible photo order was published only via a passive
useEffect on Timeline, which had a timing race: arrow nav in preview
could read a stale or empty sequence and fall back to the raw API
order, breaking visual order navigation in tag mode and after
filter changes.
Fix: openPreview now accepts an optional visibleSequence parameter,
and Timeline's onDoubleClick passes the freshly-computed flat
sequence directly. The store action adopts that sequence as the
authoritative visiblePhotoIds for the preview session, falling back
to the most-recently-published one for paths that don't have a click
site (e.g. the global Space hotkey).
The Timeline still publishes via useEffect for the Space-hotkey
fallback path, but the click path no longer depends on it.

- HeapConvertDialog: switch the target picker from sourceFolders.list
(top-level source roots only) to useFolderTreeQuery, flattened
depth-first into a list with depth info. Each option is indented
with non-breaking spaces so nested subfolders read as a tree in
the native dropdown. Backend already accepts any Folder id, so no
server change needed.
- photoStore.setVisiblePhotoIds: short-circuit when the new id list
matches the existing one element-for-element. Avoids feedback loops
if a publisher fires from an effect on a render where the contents
haven't actually changed (which was triggering React error #185).
- Timeline: pull setVisiblePhotoIds via a focused selector instead of
the wholesale destructure so the publisher subscription doesn't
re-render Timeline on unrelated photo store changes.

Previously the preview view walked the raw API photos array for arrow
navigation and the filmstrip. In tag-grouped mode (and any future
layout where the visible grid order diverges from the API sort) that
diverged from the order the user actually saw — they'd hit ← / → and
land on a photo that wasn't adjacent in the grid.
Fix: Timeline publishes its flat visible-order id sequence into the
photo store as visiblePhotoIds whenever its layout items change
(including duplicates from tag buckets, which is what the user wants
in tag mode — landing on a photo's second appearance in the next
bucket is the right behavior). PreviewView resolves that sequence
back to Photo objects via the rawPhotos map and uses the result for
both arrow nav and the filmstrip. Falls back to the raw photos list
when the sequence isn't populated yet.
Also clean up the lingering hardcoded http://localhost:8001 in
usePhotosQuery — switched to the shared axios instance with the
relative /api/v1 baseURL so the hook works cross-machine through the
nginx / vite proxy.

- FilterPill: drop the inline value text from the active state. Pills
now stay the same width whether or not a filter is set; the popover
is the canonical place to read the value, and the title attribute
surfaces it on hover.
- TopBar: remove the search input — search lives in the filter bar now.
- FilterBar: add a search input on the left, with the pill cluster
centered between it and a flex-shrink-0 Clear-all on the right.
- LeftSidebar / HeapsPanel: count badges use a fixed-width slot
(h-5 min-w-[24px], tabular-nums) so counts line up in the same
visual column across rows. Empty rows reserve the slot.
- LeftSidebar: pull section counts (All Photos, Rated, Duplicates,
Discarded) from a new useLibraryStatsQuery hook backed by the
expanded /library/stats endpoint. Tags count was already wired.
- backend/library: stats endpoint returns per-section counts that
match the filter the sidebar applies on click.
- Stats invalidation hooked into the standard photo-mutation paths.
- RightSidebar header: h-12 to match TopBar height.
- Timeline sticky date overlay: only show once the natural in-grid
header has scrolled OUT of the viewport. Avoids the duplicate-label
flash when both labels would be visible.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- backend/photos: collapse the per-tag subquery loop in the tag filter
into a single GROUP BY ... HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT) = N subquery so the
cost is independent of how many tags the user is filtering on.
- useFilterUrlSync: type the parseUrl return value as
Partial<FilterState> & { currentSection?: string } so the section field
doesn't need an (out as any) cast.
- Timeline sticky header: bump opacity, padding, and border so it reads
more clearly against the underlying grid.
- FilterPill clear: convert the nested <button> (invalid HTML — buttons
cannot nest) to a span with role=button + keyboard handler, with a
larger hit area.
- RightSidebar: add aria-label to the close-X buttons so screen readers
announce them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- backend/photos: whitelist sortable columns instead of getattr(Photo, sort).
Previously any client-supplied string was passed to SQLAlchemy, exposing
every Photo attribute (filepath, file_hash, etc.) as a sort target.
- App: move the auto-show-right-sidebar logic out of the render body and
into a useEffect. The previous version called setState during render,
causing extra re-render passes the audit caught.
- types/photo: add added_at and tighten folder_id from optional to nullable.
Drops a (photo as any).added_at cast in Timeline.
- constants/colorLabels: extract a single COLOR_LABEL_OPTIONS used by
FilterBar, RightSidebar, and PhotoInfoPanel. filterStore re-exports the
ColorLabel type so existing imports keep working.

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.

The Timeline arrow keys moved by currentIndex ± columns in the FLAT
photos array, but with date / tag grouping the rendered grid has
half-full last rows for each group, so flat-index nav routinely
landed in the wrong cell — and tag grouping (where one photo can
appear in multiple groups) made it incoherent.
Fix: navigate the actual visual grid the user sees.
- New photoRows = items.filter(type='row') in visual order. The
buildItems pipeline already chunks photos into row items of
[1..columns] cells per group; this is exactly the rendered layout.
- findActiveCell() walks photoRows looking for the activePhotoId
and returns its (rowIndex, colIndex), or null if it isn't on
screen. First-occurrence wins, which matches user intuition in
the tag-grouped view.
- New move(dr, dc) helper:
Left/Right: walk col, wrap across row boundaries (so going Right
off the end of a half-full row jumps to the next group's first
row). Clamps at the very first/last cell.
Up/Down: change row, then clamp the column to the destination
row's actual width — moving down into a 2-cell row from col 3
lands on col 1, not nothing.
- The four arrow handlers all funnel through move(); shift-arrow
still calls selectRange with the destination cell's globalIndex
so range selection works the same as a shift-click on that cell.
- Headers are skipped automatically because they were never in
photoRows. Edge cells, end-of-group, single-row groups, and
tag-repeated photos all behave consistently.
Pulled activePhotoId out of usePhotoStore (was already in the store
but the Timeline component wasn't reading it). Effect deps updated
to invalidate the listener whenever the visible grid changes.

Reworks the Tags sidebar entry from an expandable list of tags into a
single leaf entry. Clicking it switches the timeline grouping mode to
"tag" — every tag becomes a sticky-headered group, with an "Untagged"
group at the bottom for photos with no tags. A photo with N tags
appears in N groups. Existing filters and sort still apply within each
group.
Backend
- list_photos eagerly loads Photo.tags via selectinload to avoid an
N+1 round-trip.
- Each photo in the list response now carries a `tags: [{id, name,
color}]` array. The route stops using PhotoListResponse strict
validation (returns a plain dict with the same shape plus the new
field) so we don't have to extend the pydantic schema.
Frontend
- Photo TS type gains an optional tags field plus a PhotoTagSummary
alias.
- filterStore: new groupBy: 'date' | 'tag' field, default 'date',
with setGroupBy + URL sync via ?group=tag. clearAll resets it.
- usePhotosQuery threads groupBy through filtersToParams (it's
client-side only but kept in the params for cache key
consistency).
- LeftSidebar Tags entry is now a leaf node (no children), shows the
total tag photo count as the badge, and is highlighted when
groupBy === 'tag'. Click → setGroupBy('tag') without touching
other filters. Selecting "All Photos" resets groupBy back to
'date' via clearAll.
- Timeline.buildItems gets a third "tag" branch:
- Iterates photos × tags into per-tag buckets
- Photos with no tags go into an "Untagged" bucket
- Tag groups sorted alphabetically; Untagged pinned to the end
- Headers + rows pushed in the same shape the date branch uses,
so the existing sticky-header overlay works for free
- Selection state is by photo id, so a photo appearing in multiple
groups stays consistently selected/highlighted across instances.

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.

Lightroom-style direct manipulation: pick up a photo (or a multi-
selection) and drop it on a heap to add it. Complements the P
shortcut without replacing it.
PhotoThumbnail
- Becomes draggable. onDragStart reads the current selection from
the photo store at fire time: if the dragged photo is part of the
selection, the payload is the whole selection; otherwise it's
just that one photo. Matches Finder semantics.
- Payload uses a custom MIME (application/x-mulita-photos) so the
drop target can recognise our drags vs. arbitrary file drags from
the OS. Also sets text/plain so dropping outside the app shows a
sensible "N photos" string.
HeapsPanel
- Each heap row is now a drop target. onDragOver previews the drop
effect and highlights the row with a primary ring and a faint
background tint. onDragLeave only clears the highlight if the
cursor actually left the row (not just moved over a child).
- New dropMutation handles the drop: optimistic membership cache
update so the basket affordance flips immediately, rollback on
error from a captured `previous`, success toast naming the heap
and the count of newly-added photos, onSettled invalidation of
heaps + heap-photo-ids + photos so server truth re-syncs.
PhotoThumbnail's title attribute now mentions the drag affordance
alongside click/double-click/shift+click/ctrl+click hints.

The inline date headers can't use CSS position: sticky because
TanStack Virtual positions every item with transform translateY,
which removes them from the document flow.
Workaround: render a separate overlay above the scroll container
that's absolutely positioned (left/right/top: 0) and updates its
label as the user scrolls. The current label is computed from a
pre-built headerOffsets array (cumulative sum of item heights up
to each header) — find the latest header whose offset <= scrollTop,
and that's the group containing whatever's at the top of the view.
The overlay sits at z-20 above the photos with bg-bg/90 +
backdrop-blur and pointer-events-none so it doesn't intercept
clicks. Inline headers still render so the visual flow at group
boundaries is smooth — the overlay is the persistent label.

Two related changes:
1. Sorting controls
- filterStore gains sortBy (taken_at | added_at | filename | file_size
| rating) and sortOrder (asc | desc), defaults taken_at desc.
- filtersToParams sends sort + order to the backend list endpoint.
- usePhotosQuery drops the hardcoded sort/order and reads from the
store.
- useFilterUrlSync round-trips ?sort= and ?order= so the choice
persists in the URL.
- FilterBar gets a Sort group with a field <select> and an asc/desc
toggle button (ArrowDown / ArrowUp icons).
2. Date-grouped timeline (Google Photos style)
- When sorted by a date field (taken_at or added_at), the Timeline
now groups photos by month label ("April 2026") with a small
header row between groups.
- Refactored the virtualizer items from "rows of photos" to a flat
mixed array of header | row items, with per-item heights via the
virtualizer's estimateSize callback. Headers are 36px, photo rows
are THUMBNAIL_SIZE + GAP.
- buildItems() walks photos in order, breaks groups when the month
label changes, and chunks each group into rows of `columns` cells.
Photos with no taken_at fall back to "Unknown date".
- For non-date sorts (filename / file_size / rating) the timeline
reverts to a single un-headered stream — grouping by month
wouldn't be meaningful.
- Range selection and arrow-key nav still operate on the flat
photos array, so grouping is purely a visual layer.
- Also fixes a small bug: photo nav arrow-key handler now ignores
events fired while focus is in an INPUT or TEXTAREA.
Sticky header overlay (the header that stays at the top while you
scroll past photos in its group) is intentionally deferred — inline
headers already give the visual grouping; the sticky behaviour is
polish for a follow-up.

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.

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.

The loupe view is now called "preview" everywhere — file paths, type
names, store actions, and the contextual hint pill. There's a single
preview action bound to E and Space (Enter is gone); double-click on a
thumbnail still works. Both shortcuts toggle: open from grid, close
from preview.
This commit also folds in the fix for the "preview shows nothing" bug
the user just hit:
- Extract usePhotosQuery into frontend/src/hooks/usePhotosQuery.ts so
Timeline, PreviewView, and App.tsx all share one query — and one
cache entry. Previously PreviewView and App.tsx looked the cache up
by ['photos'], but the Timeline query key gained the filter params
(['photos', filterParams]) when the filter bar shipped, so the
lookup returned undefined and the preview rendered "No photo to
display". App.tsx's getFirstPhotoId callback had the same bug.
- Harden PreviewImage: render the <img> immediately and overlay the
spinner with absolute positioning, instead of toggling opacity-0 →
opacity-100 on load. The previous opacity-toggle could leave the
image stuck invisible if the load event raced with a key change.
- Add { preventDefault: true } to every useHotkeys call so single
letter shortcuts (1-5, P, X, U) no longer leak into Firefox quick-
find, and Cmd/Ctrl+F no longer triggers the browser find toolbar.
Files renamed:
components/loupe/LoupeView.tsx -> components/preview/PreviewView.tsx
components/loupe/LoupeImage.tsx -> components/preview/PreviewImage.tsx
components/loupe/LoupeFilmstrip.tsx -> components/preview/PreviewFilmstrip.tsx
components/loupe/loupeSrc.ts -> components/preview/previewSrc.ts
Symbol renames: openLoupe→openPreview, closeLoupe→closePreview, the
viewMode 'loupe' tag → 'preview', and all the LoupeXxx component and
helper exports.

PhotoThumbnail computed cell height as size * min(aspectRatio, 1.5),
so portrait photos overflowed their row. The TanStack Virtual row
estimate is a single fixed value (thumbnailSize + gap), so any cell
taller than that pushed into the row below — visible as overlapping
thumbnails whenever a portrait shared a row with landscapes.
Switching to square cells (Lightroom Library default) means every row
is exactly the estimated height. The image still fills via object-cover,
just cropped on the long axis.

Adds the spec §6.7 filter bar to the top of the timeline with:
- Date range (native date inputs)
- Media type chips (Photo / Video / RAW / HEIC, multi-select)
- Min star rating (click to set, click again to clear)
- Color label dots (red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple, single)
- Flag (any / picked / rejected / unflagged)
- Clear-all button
Active filters surface as removable chips below the bar so they're
visible whether the bar is collapsed or open. The TopBar search input
is now wired to the same filter store with a 300ms debounce, and shows
a clear button when populated.
Filter state is the source of truth in a Zustand store and round-trips
through the URL via history.replaceState — bookmarkable and shareable
per spec §6.7. Hydrate happens once on mount; subsequent store changes
write back to ?q=&date_from=&… without navigation.
Timeline reads filter state, builds the backend params via
filtersToParams, and includes them in the React Query key so the cache
invalidates on every filter change. Also fixes a latent bug: Timeline
was sending limit=1000&offset=0, which the backend silently ignores —
swapped to page=1&per_page=500 with explicit sort=taken_at&order=desc.
New keyboard shortcuts:
- \\ toggles the filter bar
- / focuses the TopBar search input
- Cmd/Ctrl+F same as /
Filter button in the TopBar now lights up when filters are active or
the bar is open.

Adds the Lightroom-style full-screen single-photo viewer (spec §6.11).
Open with E / Enter / double-click; navigate with arrow keys; Esc returns
to grid. Filmstrip at the bottom auto-scrolls the active cell into view.
Display:
- Stills source from /photos/{id}/proxy so RAW/HEIC are decoded server-
side; large thumbnail is the onError fallback only.
- Videos render in a <video controls> sourced from /original.
- Continuous wheel zoom (1×–8×, ~15% per tick) with click-drag pan when
zoomed past fit. Z toggles between fit and natural-resolution
(computed from naturalWidth / clientWidth); a second Z snaps back.
- Live percentage indicator in the bottom-center while zoomed.
Polish:
- Neighbor preloading via new Image() when currentIndex changes so arrow
nav feels instant (skips videos).
- Focus trap with role=dialog, aria-modal, focus-on-mount, restore-on-
unmount, and Tab cycling among focusable children.
Plumbing:
- New canonical Photo TS interface in types/photo.ts; removes the three
duplicated definitions in PhotoThumbnail/Timeline/photoStore.
- photoStore gains viewMode + openLoupe/closeLoupe.
- useKeyboardShortcuts wires E/Enter/G to open/close, gates rating and
flag stubs with { enabled: viewMode === 'grid' } so they're inert in
loupe.
- App.tsx mounts <LoupeView/> as a z-40 overlay covering TopBar, gates
the auto-open right sidebar effect on viewMode === 'grid' so leaving
loupe doesn't fight the user's prior sidebar state.
- PhotoThumbnail gains an onDoubleClick prop wired to openLoupe.

Backend generates thumbnails on-demand via Celery, so the first request
often 404s while the worker runs. Auto-retry with 1.5s/3.5s/6s backoff,
manual retry fallback, and proper timer cleanup so fast-scrolling a
virtualized timeline doesn't setState on unmounted components.
