Adds optional SSO via Authentik (or any OIDC provider) alongside the
existing password flow, and pulls profile images from the provider's
`picture` claim or Gravatar so the sharing UI stops looking anonymous.
Password login stays available as a recovery path; JIT provisioning and
admin-group mapping are env-configurable.

Addresses 16 robustness, transparency, and performance issues across
the Celery media processing pipeline:
Critical:
- Singleton DB engine in vision tasks (was leaking one per task call)
- acks_late + task_reject_on_worker_lost so crashed workers don't lose tasks
- Global soft/hard time limits (5/10 min) to prevent hung worker slots
- Thumbnail copy-before-resize (in-place mutation degraded larger sizes)
- backfill_vision now checks each task type independently (OCR, faces, etc.)
- Parameterized LIMIT in backfill_vision (was f-string SQL injection)
High:
- try/except + retry(max=3) on all vision inference tasks
- extract_metadata writes processing_error on exiftool failure
- PIL Image handles closed in _load_thumb/_load_original
- Scan progress Redis keys auto-expire after 1 hour
- Watcher lock renewal is wall-clock based (30s) not event-count based
- worker_process_init signal warms up vision models on startup
Medium:
- Explicit task_routes for every task name (wildcards never matched)
- app.services.metadata added to Celery include list
- POST /maintenance/recover-stuck endpoint for photos stuck in processing
- Docker healthchecks for worker-light, worker-vision, and Redis
- Task ID in vision log lines for distributed tracing
- Bare except:pass narrowed to specific exceptions

Add active source root directories to the library stats endpoint and
display them in the settings page. Hardcode container PHOTO_DIRS to
/photos since the volume mount handles host path mapping. Add .env to
.gitignore to prevent committing secrets.

- Move watch_folders to dedicated 'watcher' queue with its own
single-concurrency container so it never blocks scan/thumbnail slots
- Add get_current_user_media dependency that accepts ?token= query
param for <img src> / <video src> media endpoints (thumb, original,
proxy) — fixes 401 on thumbnails
- Append JWT token to all media URLs in the frontend
- Add missing 'memories' case in sidebar navigation switch

Centralize execution provider selection in providers.py with
auto-detection and graceful fallback. All ONNX sessions (embedder,
detector, face processor, recognizer) now use the configured providers.
- New VISION_EXECUTION_PROVIDERS env var: "auto" for GPU auto-detect,
or explicit "CUDAExecutionProvider,CPUExecutionProvider"
- Provider priority: CUDA > ROCm > OpenVINO > CPU (when set to "auto")
- docker-compose.yml includes commented-out NVIDIA GPU deploy section
- Supports onnxruntime-gpu as a drop-in replacement for onnxruntime

Introduce username/password authentication with admin and user roles.
Each user gets their own media directory under /photos/{username}/ with
isolated photos, folders, heaps, and tags. Admins manage users and
observe the full library from a dedicated Settings page.
Backend:
- User model with bcrypt passwords and JWT access/refresh tokens
- Auth router (login, refresh, setup, change-password, status)
- Admin router (user CRUD with last-admin protection)
- user_id FK added to photos, folders, source_roots, heaps, tags
- All data routers scoped by authenticated user
- Scanner inherits user_id from source root owner
- Thumbnails stored under user-prefixed paths for isolation
- Library endpoints accept ?scope=global for admin cross-user view
- Alembic migration 0009 with data migration for existing installs
- Defensive bootstrap.py handles fresh vs existing DB startup
Frontend:
- AuthContext with token lifecycle, auto-refresh, login/logout
- Login page, first-run setup page, auth gate in App.tsx
- Bearer token interceptor on all API requests
- User identity + logout in left sidebar
- Admin-only Settings page with Library Management and Users tabs
- UserManagement panel (add, edit role, reset password, deactivate)
- Settings shows global stats across all users for admin
- Filter bar, right sidebar, keyboard hints hidden on settings page

Three overlapping fixes so the ingestion pipeline actually runs and the
user can see what it's doing:
Pipeline recovery
- app/database.py: use NullPool when MULITA_CELERY_WORKER=1 so each
Celery task opens a fresh asyncpg connection on its own event loop.
Fixes "another operation in progress" and "Future attached to a
different loop" errors that were dropping ~every thumbnail +
extract_metadata task on the floor.
- app/tasks/thumbs.py: initialize photo=None before the try and rollback
on error so a transport failure in the initial SELECT doesn't raise
UnboundLocalError in the except block and leak rows stuck in 'pending'.
- app/services/vision/bootstrap_models.py: on missing model files,
invoke export_models automatically instead of just warning. First
boot of a fresh install now self-heals.
- app/services/vision/export_models.py: shutil.move instead of
Path.rename so the YOLO export survives the /app → /data/models
cross-volume hop.
- requirements.txt: add ultralytics so export works in a stock image.
Worker topology
- docker-compose.yml: replace the single worker with worker-light
(default/high/low queues, c=2, IO-bound) and worker-vision (vision
queue, c=5, OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 to avoid oversubscription on 6 cores).
Vision is pinned to ≤5 parallel inferences so ONNX doesn't each
spawn an all-cores intra-op pool.
- .env / .env.example: CELERYD_CONCURRENCY replaced with
CELERY_LIGHT_CONCURRENCY + CELERY_VISION_CONCURRENCY.
- Backfill queries in thumbs / scan / vision now ORDER BY taken_at
DESC NULLS LAST so newest photos finish first — the library fills
in top-down in the UI instead of arbitrary insertion order.
Settings visibility
- routers/library.py: new GET /maintenance/pipeline-stats returning
done/total per stage (thumbnails, exif, gps, phash, embeddings,
tags, ocr, faces, face clusters, duplicate groups). Worker-status
now also reports the `vision` queue depth, which was missing.
- services/api.ts: PipelineStats / PipelineStage / ScanStatus types
and the matching client call.
- components/dialogs/SettingsDialog.tsx:
- new Pipeline Progress card with one progress bar per stage
- inline scan banner (processed/total/current folder) inside the
Library section while a scan is running
- Tasks/min throughput computed by diffing worker processed counters
between polls
- Workers section calls out the vision queue and documents the
CELERY_LIGHT/VISION_CONCURRENCY + docker compose up -d scale path

PyTorch default install pulls ~7GB of CUDA libs, exceeding disk on small
VMs. Switching to CPU-only saves ~6GB. Also run create_all before alembic
so migrations find existing tables on a fresh Postgres.

- Rewrite all vision tasks to use sync psycopg2 sessions instead of
asyncpg — fixes 'another operation in progress' and event loop errors
when Celery forks workers sharing the async connection pool
- Letterbox-pad images to exactly 640x640 for YuNet face detector
(was crashing on non-square thumbnails)
- Deduplicate object detections per label per photo — keep highest
confidence only to avoid photo_tags PK violation on multiple
detections of the same class
- Add all queues (-Q default,high,low,vision) to worker command
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add export_models.py for OpenCLIP ViT-B/32 and YOLOv8n ONNX export
- Fix ArgMax(13) ORT ARM64 incompatibility by passing eot_indices as a
separate ONNX input (computed outside the graph in embed.py)
- Use legacy TorchScript exporter (dynamo=False) for IR version 9 compat
- Upgrade onnxruntime to 1.18.1
- Rewrite bootstrap_models.py with clear separation of auto-downloadable
models (YuNet, SFace) vs manually-exported ones (OpenCLIP, YOLOv8n)
- Wire bootstrap into worker CMD (runs before Celery)

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.

The first phase-11 file op (inline rename) returns EROFS today
because docker-compose mounts ~/Pictures read-only by default.
Lightroom-style file operations (rename, move, discard-pile empty)
all need to mutate the filesystem, so the right default is :rw.
Flips both the backend and worker mounts to :rw with an inline
comment explaining the trade-off, and adds a "Photo directory
mounts and permissions" section to the README that:
- States the default is now :rw
- Explains exactly which endpoints fail under :ro (rename, empty
discard pile, future move/copy)
- Notes the implication: Mulita has full write access to whatever
host directory ends up at /host/Pictures, same trust model as
Lightroom's catalog folder

The /photos/{id}/proxy endpoint (added in 1096854) caches transcoded
RAW/HEIC WebPs at /data/proxies/{id}.webp, but the compose file had no
volume mount for that path — files would be lost on every container
restart, forcing repeated full-resolution decodes. Adding a named
volume to both backend and worker so the cache survives restarts.
