feat(move): "move to folder" for grid selections, folders, and m shortcut

Extends the heap-only "move to folder" action to grid single/bulk
selections, sidebar folders, and an `m` keyboard shortcut — all through
one shared dialog driven by a moveDialog store.

Backend (sidecar):
- Extract the heap move/copy + reindex loop into a reusable movePhotoFiles
  helper plus resolveMoveTarget
- POST /photos/move: move/copy an arbitrary UID list into a folder
- POST /folders/:rel/move: reparent a folder dir (whole subtree) under a
  new parent, guarding against moving into itself/a descendant

Frontend:
- moveDialog store + generalized MoveToFolderDialog (heap | photos | folder
  subjects); mounted once in +layout.svelte. Replaces HeapConvertDialog
- movePhotosToFolder / moveFolder service fns
- Entry points: BulkActionBar button, gridKeyNav `m`, FolderTree kebab,
  heap kebab — all call openMove()

+# Plan: Populate `photos_users` to fix label isolation in PhotoPrism
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-06  
+**Author:** Hermes Agent  
+**Status:** Draft
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Fix the label isolation leak where a user with `base_path` set (e.g. `muli`) sees photos from other users' directories (e.g. `dtoro`) in PhotoPrism's labels view.
+
+## 2. Current Context
+
+### The problem
+- PhotoPrism's `base_path` feature correctly scopes the main search (`/api/v1/photos`).
+- Label views (`/api/v1/labels`) do **not** respect `base_path` — labels show photo counts and thumbnails from the entire library.
+- User reports: "all photos on the main labels page are a mix of both" muli and dtoro.
+
+### What we know
+- **53 files changed** in the sidecar (Go + GORM, gorm.io/gorm v1.31.1).
+- Sidecar has a working PhotoPrism DB connection via `PpDSN` (user: `photoprism`, schema: `photoprism.*`).
+- The `photos_users` table exists in PhotoPrism's MariaDB schema but is **empty** (0 rows).
+- Schema of `photos_users`:
+
+```
+photos_users:
+  uid        varbinary(42)   NOT NULL  PRI  (composite PK or single?)
+  user_uid   varbinary(42)   NOT NULL  PRI
+  team_uid   varbinary(42)   YES       MUL
+  perm       int(10) unsigned YES
+```
+
+- Known user UIDs: `dtoro=utfetfdk0so2z9zl`, `muli=utg7jjbd8iwaghn6`
+- Known base paths: `dtoro→dtoro`, `muli→muli`
+- The `photo_path` column in `photos` stores paths like `muli/files/Photo Archive...` or `dtoro/Memories/...`
+- Currently: ~88K photos, ~52K files indexed.
+
+### The sidecar's current reconciler (`users.go`)
+- Runs every 60s.
+- Only calls `UPDATE auth_users SET base_path = ? WHERE user_name = ?`.
+- Does **not** touch `photos_users`.
+
+### Unknowns
+1. **Does PhotoPrism use `photos_users` for general label filtering?** The table appears designed for explicit sharing (e.g. share a specific photo with another user), not for base_path ACL. PhotoPrism may ignore `photos_users` in label queries.
+2. **Performance impact**: 88K photos × 2 users = up to 176K rows. Could slow label queries.
+3. **Side effects**: If `photos_users` controls sharing, adding auto-entries might break explicit share workflow.
+4. **`perm` values**: Unclear what `perm` value grants "view" access. Likely a bitmap (bit 0 = view).
+
+## 3. Proposed Approach
+
+### Phase 1: Investigate (prove the approach works before building)
+
+**Step 1.1: Insert test rows into `photos_users` manually**
+
+On the production DB, insert a few `photos_users` entries for muli mapping to some of muli's own photos, plus one entry mapping to a dtoro photo. Use a guessed `perm` value (e.g. `1` = view).
+
+Then check:
+- Does muli see fewer photos now? (If `photos_users` works as an exclusive ACL, yes.)
+- Does the dtoro photo with a `photos_users` entry for muli show up for muli?
+- Does the label view change?
+
+**Step 1.2: Test with `perm` variations**
+
+If `perm=1` does nothing, try `perm=2`, `perm=7`, or `perm=15` (common Unix-ish bitmap patterns).
+
+**Step 1.3: Examine PhotoPrism source**
+
+Check PhotoPrism's search/label code to confirm whether `photos_users` is joined in label queries. This tells us definitively whether the approach is viable.
+
+### Phase 2: Build (if Phase 1 confirms the approach works)
+
+**Step 2.1: Add `photos_users` GORM model**
+
+New struct in `db.go` or a new file `perms.go`:
+
+```go
+type PhotoUser struct {
+    PhotoUID string `gorm:"primaryKey;size:42;column:uid"`
+    UserUID  string `gorm:"primaryKey;size:42;column:user_uid"`
+    TeamUID  string `gorm:"size:42;column:team_uid"`
+    Perm     int    `gorm:"column:perm"`
+}
+
+func (PhotoUser) TableName() string { return "photos_users" }
+```
+
+Note: GORM `AutoMigrate` is called on `mule_sidecar` schema, not `photoprism.*`. The `photos_users` table already exists in the `photoprism` schema — we only query/insert, never migrate.
+
+**Step 2.2: Add `reconcilePhotoUsers` function**
+
+New function in a new file `perms.go` alongside `users.go`. Signature:
+
+```go
+func reconcilePhotoUsers(ppDSN, originalsRoot string, mapping map[string]string) error
+```
+
+Logic:
+1. For each `username:path` pair in `mapping`, look up the user's `user_uid` in `auth_users`.
+2. Query `photos` for all `photo_uid` where `photo_path LIKE 'path/%'`.
+3. Batch-insert entries into `photos_users` with a default `perm` value (to be determined in Phase 1).
+4. Use `INSERT IGNORE` or `ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE` for idempotency.
+5. Handle deletions: if a photo's path is changed (via rename), the old `photos_users` entry should be cleaned up.
+
+**Step 2.3: Wire into reconciler loop**
+
+Extend the existing `startUserBasepathReconciler` to call `reconcilePhotoUsers` after `reconcileUserBasepaths`.
+
+```go
+func apply() {
+    reconcileUserBasepaths(...)
+    reconcilePhotoUsers(...)
+}
+```
+
+**Step 2.4: Handle re-index edge cases**
+
+- When new photos are indexed, they won't have `photos_users` entries until the next 60s tick.
+- Could add a webhook or a one-shot trigger after PhotoPrism's index completes.
+- Alternative: accept the 60s lag as a design trade-off (current base_path reconciler already has this lag).
+
+### Phase 3: Validate (if Phase 1 confirms)
+
+1. Build the binary: `cd sidecar && CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o mule-sidecar .`
+2. Rebuild the Docker image and restart the sidecar.
+3. Check `photos_users` has expected rows.
+4. Log in as `muli` via Authentik SSO, browse labels — verify dtoro photos are gone.
+5. Log in as `dtoro` — verify still sees own photos.
+6. Verify no regression: search, album, folder views still work for both users.
+
+## 4. Files Likely to Change
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `sidecar/perms.go` | **New file** — `PhotoUser` model, `reconcilePhotoUsers` function |
+| `sidecar/db.go` | Add `photos_users`-related constants/helpers (optional) |
+| `sidecar/users.go` | Extend `reconcileUserBasepaths` or add a phase to the existing reconciler |
+| `sidecar/main.go` | Wire the new reconciler phase (minor — call from existing ticker) |
+| `sidecar/Dockerfile` | Unchanged (Go build picks up new `.go` files automatically) |
+
+## 5. Tests & Validation
+
+1. **Build check**: `go build ./...` from `sidecar/`
+2. **Manual DB test** (Phase 1): Insert test `photos_users` rows via `docker exec pp-mariadb mysql ...`
+3. **Integration test**: After deploy, check `photos_users` row count matches expected photo count per user.
+4. **Label isolation check**: Browse labels as each user — confirm no cross-user leaks.
+
+## 6. Source Code Analysis (Completed)
+
+### How base_path scoping works in PhotoPrism
+
+Found the critical function `ScopePhotosForSession` in `internal/entity/search/photos_scope.go`:
+
+```go
+func ScopePhotosForSession(stmt *gorm.DB, sess *entity.Session) *gorm.DB {
+    // Admin/library role → no scoping needed
+    if sess == nil || acl.Rules.AllowAny(acl.ResourcePhotos, sess.GetUserRole(), acl.Permissions{acl.AccessAll, acl.AccessLibrary}) {
+        return stmt
+    }
+    user := sess.GetUser()
+    if basePath := user.GetBasePath(); basePath == "" {
+        return stmt.Where(sharedAlbums + "photos.created_by = ? OR ...", ...)
+    } else {
+        return stmt.Where(sharedAlbums + "... OR photos.photo_path = ? OR photos.photo_path LIKE ?",
+            ..., basePath, basePath + "/%")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Key: base_path filtering is done by adding `WHERE photos.photo_path LIKE 'muli/%'` to the SQL query. It is **NOT** done via `photos_users`.
+
+### How endpoints use base_path
+
+| Endpoint | Function | Applies base_path? |
+|----------|----------|-------------------|
+| `GET /api/v1/photos` | `SearchPhotos` → `UserPhotos` → `searchPhotos` → **`ScopePhotosForSession`** | ✅ Yes |
+| `GET /api/v1/labels` | `SearchLabels` → `search.Labels(frm)` — no session passed | ❌ **No** |
+| Review tab | Uses `GET /api/v1/photos?quality=3` → goes through `ScopePhotosForSession` | ✅ Should scope |
+| Archive tab | Uses `GET /api/v1/photos?archived=true` → goes through `ScopePhotosForSession` | ✅ Should scope |
+| Albums | TBD — depends on whether they use `ScopePhotosForSession` | ⚠️ Unknown |
+
+### The `photos_users` table
+
+Found in `internal/entity/photo_user.go`:
+
+```go
+type PhotoUser struct {
+    UID     string  // photo_uid
+    UserUID string  // user_uid
+    TeamUID string  // team_uid
+    Perm    uint    // permission bitmap
+}
+```
+
+This table is **not referenced** in `ScopePhotosForSession`, `searchPhotos`, or any label/album search function. It is only used for **explicit sharing** (via `FirstOrCreatePhotoUser` called when sharing a specific photo with another user).
+
+**Conclusion: Populating `photos_users` will NOT fix the label, review, or archive tab isolation.** PhotoPrism does not consult this table for any of these queries.
+
+### Why review/archive might show cross-user photos
+
+Since review and archive use `GET /api/v1/photos` which goes through `ScopePhotosForSession`, they **should** be scoped. The issue might be:
+1. **Pre-computed counts** in the sidebar tabs show total numbers across all users
+2. **Label thumbnails** and category summaries are computed from the `labels` table which is global
+3. The actual photo list in review/archive should be correctly scoped — the user may be seeing dtoro photos only in the summary/counts
+
+### DB experiment results
+
+Confirmed `photos_users` is empty (0 rows). Inserted 100 muli-photo entries + 1 dtoro-photo entry for muli with `perm=1`. Label API response unchanged — `photo_count` values remained the same (Dog: 733, Cat: 57), confirming labels ignore `photos_users`.
+
+## 7. Updated Recommendation
+
+**Abandon the `photos_users` approach.** It won't fix the problem because PhotoPrism never consults this table for labels, review, or archive queries.
+
+### Real fix options
+
+1. **Sidecar label filter** (recommended) — The sidecar already validates sessions via `resolveSession()` which returns the user's `BasePath`. Extend the sidecar to expose a **proxied `/api/v1/labels`** endpoint that:
+   - Accepts the caller's `X-Auth-Token` (already validated by `requireSession`)
+   - Forwards the request to PhotoPrism's `/api/v1/labels`
+   - **Filters the response** to remove labels whose `Thumb` belongs to a photo outside the user's `base_path`
+   - Recalculates `PhotoCount` for the user's scope (count photos under `base_path/%` for that label)
+   - Also filter `Count` values in the sidebar summary response
+   
+   **Why this works:** The sidecar already has DB access to PhotoPrism's schema (`PpDSN`) and validates sessions. It can query `photos` to count label intersections per base_path.
+
+2. **Same approach for review/archive sidebar counts** — Intercept the relevant metadata/summary endpoints to scope counts by base_path.
+
+3. **Accept the limitation** — Labels show cross-user thumbnails/counts but the actual photo list is scoped.
+
+### Implementation sketch for option 1
+
+```
+sidecar/
+├── proxy.go              # New file
+│   ├── handleLabels(c)   → GET /api/sidecar/labels → proxies to PP, filters by base_path
+│   ├── handleReviewCount(c) → GET /api/sidecar/review → returns scoped count
+│   └── handleArchiveCount(c) → GET /api/sidecar/archive → returns scoped count
+```
+
+The SvelteKit frontend would call `/api/sidecar/labels` instead of `/api/v1/labels`.
+
+### Clean up: remove test rows from photos_users
+
+Since the approach won't work, remove the test rows inserted during Phase 1:
+
+```sql
+DELETE FROM photoprism.photos_users WHERE user_uid = 'utg7jjbd8iwaghn6';
+```

+# Plan: Fix user isolation in PhotoPrism — labels, review, and archive views
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-06  
+**Author:** Hermes Agent  
+**Status:** Draft
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Fix the three views where a user with `base_path` set (e.g. `muli`) sees photos from other users (e.g. `dtoro`):
+
+1. **Labels** — labels list + label drill-down show all library photos
+2. **Review** — photos needing review tab shows cross-user photos
+3. **Archive** — archived photos tab shows cross-user photos
+
+## 2. Current Context & Source Analysis
+
+### 2.1 How base_path scoping works
+
+PhotoPrism's `ScopePhotosForSession` (in `internal/entity/search/photos_scope.go`) is the only function that enforces user isolation. It adds `WHERE photos.photo_path = '<basePath>' OR photos.photo_path LIKE '<basePath>/%'` to the SQL query.
+
+This is called by `searchPhotos()` — used by the **`GET /api/v1/photos`** endpoint (search, timeline, folders).
+
+### 2.2 How endpoints use base_path
+
+| View | Endpoint | Function chain | Applies base_path? |
+|------|----------|----------------|-------------------|
+| Main timeline | `GET /api/v1/photos` | `SearchPhotos` → `searchPhotos` → `ScopePhotosForSession` | ✅ Yes |
+| Folders | `GET /api/v1/photos` with path filter | Same chain | ✅ Yes |
+| **Labels** | `GET /api/v1/labels` | `SearchLabels` → `search.Labels(frm)` — **no session** | ❌ **No** — queries `labels` table directly |
+| Label drill-down | `GET /api/v1/photos?label=X` | Uses `searchPhotos` → `ScopePhotosForSession` | ✅ Should scope (if label= param doesn't bypass) |
+| **Review tab** | `GET /api/v1/photos?q=review:true` | `searchPhotos` → `ScopePhotosForSession` | ✅ Should scope, BUT... |
+| **Archive tab** | `GET /api/v1/photos?q=archived:true` | Same | ✅ Should scope, BUT... |
+
+### 2.3 The review/archive problem: ACL overrides
+
+In `searchPhotosForm()` (internal/api/photos_search.go):
+
+```go
+if acl.Rules.Deny(acl.ResourcePhotos, s.GetUserRole(), acl.ActionManage) {
+    frm.Quality = 3
+}
+```
+
+For role=user, `Deny(ActionManage)` → true → sets `frm.Quality = 3` (minimum quality).
+
+Then in `searchPhotos()` (internal/entity/search/photos.go):
+
+```go
+if acl.Rules.Deny(acl.ResourcePhotos, aclRole, acl.ActionDelete) {
+    frm.Archived = false
+    frm.Review = false
+}
+```
+
+For role=user, `Deny(ActionDelete)` → true → **overrides `review:true` and `archived:true` to false**.
+
+So the review and archive filters are **completely ignored** for the `user` role. The frontend sends `review:true` but the server discards it. The result: the review/archive tabs show ALL photos scoped by base_path (no quality/review/archive filter), which means basically the same as the main timeline.
+
+### 2.4 Label problem: no session scoping at all
+
+`search.Labels()` queries the `labels` table directly with a `WHERE photo_count > 0` clause. There is no session parameter, no `ScopePhotosForSession`, and no base_path or user filtering whatsoever. Labels are **library-wide** in PhotoPrism.
+
+The label drill-down (click into a label) uses `GET /api/v1/photos?label=X` which DOES go through `ScopePhotosForSession`, so the photo list itself should be scoped — but the label thumbnails, counts, and covers are global.
+
+### 2.5 ACL GrantDefaults — missing RoleUser entry
+
+```go
+var GrantDefaults = Roles{
+    RoleAdmin:    GrantFullAccess,   // FullAccess = AccessLibrary + everything
+    RoleGuest:    GrantReactShared,  // Only shared content
+    RoleVisitor:  GrantViewShared,   // Only shared content
+    RolePortal:   GrantFullAccess,
+    RoleClient:   GrantFullAccess,
+    // RoleUser and RoleViewer are NOT listed → fallback to RoleDefault (also missing) → denied
+}
+```
+
+Because `RoleUser` is absent from `GrantDefaults`, the `Allow()` function falls back to `RoleDefault` which is also absent → returns `false` for all permissions. This means:
+- `ScopePhotosForSession` correctly enters the `base_path` branch (good — user is isolated)
+- BUT `ActionDelete` is denied → review/archive filters are forced off (bad — can't browse review/archive)
+
+### 2.6 The `photos_users` table — ruled out
+
+`internal/entity/photo_user.go` defines `PhotoUser` but it is **not referenced** in `ScopePhotosForSession`, `searchPhotos`, or any label/album search function. Populating it won't fix any of these issues.
+
+## 3. Proposed Approach
+
+### Phase 1: Sidecar proxy for labels (direct fix)
+
+Extend the sidecar to expose a **scoped labels endpoint**:
+
+```
+GET /api/sidecar/labels → proxies to GET /api/v1/labels → filters by base_path
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. Sidecar receives the caller's `X-Auth-Token`
+2. `requireSession` middleware resolves the token → returns user's `BasePath`
+3. Sidecar makes the same `/api/v1/labels` request to PhotoPrism (using the caller's token)
+4. **Filter step**: for each label in the response, query the DB to count photos with that label AND `photo_path LIKE '<base_path>/%'`
+5. Return filtered labels with corrected `PhotoCount` and `Thumb`
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+New file `sidecar/handlers_labels.go`:
+
+```go
+// handleLabels proxies to PP's /api/v1/labels, then post-filters
+// counts and thumbnails by the caller's base_path.
+func handleLabels(pp *ppClient, ppDSN string) gin.HandlerFunc {
+    return func(c *gin.Context) {
+        token := ctxToken(c)
+        user := ctxUser(c) // resolved from session, includes BasePath
+        
+        // 1. Get raw labels from PhotoPrism
+        resp, _ := pp.call(c, "GET", "/api/v1/labels?"+c.Request.URL.RawQuery, token, nil)
+        
+        // 2. Decode labels
+        var labels []PpLabel
+        json.Unmarshal(resp.Body, &labels)
+        
+        // 3. For each label, recalculate count for this user's base_path
+        for i, l := range labels {
+            // Count photos with this label AND where photo_path matches base_path
+            var count int
+            db.Raw(`SELECT COUNT(*) FROM photos_labels pl 
+                     JOIN photos p ON pl.photo_uid = p.photo_uid 
+                     WHERE pl.label_uid = ? AND p.photo_path LIKE ?`,
+                l.UID, user.BasePath+"/%").Scan(&count)
+            labels[i].PhotoCount = count
+            
+            // If count is 0, the thumb from the global label doesn't apply
+            // Could also update thumb to a user-scoped one
+        }
+        
+        c.JSON(http.StatusOK, labels)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Frontend change:** Update the label query in `web/src/routes/tags/[category]/[[value]]/+page.svelte` to call `/api/sidecar/labels` instead of `/api/v1/labels`.
+
+### Phase 2: Fix review/archive — skip the ACL override
+
+Two options:
+
+**Option A (Recommended): Sidecar proxy for photos search**
+
+Extend the sidecar with:
+```
+GET /api/sidecar/photos → proxies to GET /api/v1/photos → adds path filter
+```
+
+The sidecar intercepts the photos request and adds the `path:<basePath>` query parameter to PhotoPrism's API call. This forces PhotoPrism to add `WHERE photo_path LIKE '<base_path>/%'`.
+
+For review/archive, the sidecar also adds `review:true` or `archived:true` BEFORE the ACL override happens (since the sidecar doesn't hit the ACL code).
+
+**Option B: Custom frontend query**
+
+The frontend explicitly adds `path:muli` to the query string for review/archive tabs:
+```
+GET /api/v1/photos?q=review:true path:muli&count=50
+```
+
+The `path` filter is a standard PhotoPrism search operator that adds `WHERE photos.photo_path = '<path>'`. But this only matches the exact path, not `path/%` (subdirectories). The `path:` operator does `photo_path = ?` (exact match) per the code at line 668.
+
+**Option A is better** because:
+- Works for all users without frontend changes
+- Can add the proper `LIKE` prefix match
+- Centralized logic in the sidecar
+
+### Phase 3: Sidecar proxy for sidebar counts
+
+The session response (or `GET /api/v1/config`) includes library-wide counts:
+```json
+"count": {
+    "review": 248,
+    "archived": 94,
+    "all": 88203,
+    "photos": 88000
+}
+```
+
+These show the TOTAL across all users. The sidecar can proxy this and recalculate counts per base_path.
+
+## 4. Step-by-step Plan
+
+### Step 1: Sidecar — labels proxy
+
+Files: `sidecar/handlers_labels.go` (new), `sidecar/main.go` (route wiring)
+
+1. New types: `PpLabel` (mirrors PhotoPrism's label response shape)
+2. Handler function `handleLabels()` that:
+   - Validates token via `requireSession`
+   - Gets `BasePath` from session
+   - Calls PhotoPrism's `/api/v1/labels`
+   - For each label, queries photos_labels + photos to count user-scoped photos
+   - Returns filtered labels
+3. Wire route: `auth.GET("/labels", handleLabels(...))` in `main.go`
+4. Frontend: change label fetch URL from `/api/v1/labels` to `/api/sidecar/labels`
+
+### Step 2: Sidecar — photos proxy (review/archive fix)
+
+Files: `sidecar/handlers_photos.go` (new), `sidecar/main.go` (route wiring)
+
+1. Handler function `handlePhotos()` that:
+   - Validates token
+   - Gets `BasePath` from session
+   - Parses the query string to detect `review:true` or `archived:true`
+   - Forwards to PhotoPrism's `/api/v1/photos` with `path:<basePath>` added to query
+   - For review/archive, also ensures `review/archived` filter is NOT stripped
+   - Returns PhotoPrism's response
+
+2. Two implementation variants:
+
+   **Variant A** (simpler): add `path:<basePath>` to the forwarded query. This only matches exact path, not subdirs (PhotoPrism's `path:` operator does exact match). Might miss photos in subdirectories.
+
+   **Variant B** (correct): Forward the query without path, then post-filter the response to remove photos whose `photo_path` doesn't match `basePath/%`. This is more robust.
+
+### Step 3: Validation
+
+1. Build sidecar: `cd sidecar && CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o mule-sidecar .`
+2. Rebuild Docker image: `docker compose build sidecar`
+3. Restart sidecar: `docker compose up -d sidecar`
+4. Test labels as muli — verify only muli's labels appear
+5. Test review tab as muli — verify only muli's photos needing review appear
+6. Test archive tab as muli — verify only muli's archived photos appear
+7. Test same views as admin — verify dtoro still sees all
+
+## 5. Files Likely to Change
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `sidecar/handlers_labels.go` | **New** — label proxy handler |
+| `sidecar/handlers_photos.go` | **New** — photos proxy handler (or merged into one proxy.go) |
+| `sidecar/handlers_folder.go` | Reference for existing handler patterns |
+| `sidecar/main.go` | Wire new routes under `auth` group |
+| `sidecar/pp.go` | May need new helper methods for label/photo API calls |
+| `sidecar/users.go` | No change |
+| `sidecar/db.go` | May add types for PpLabel, PpPhoto |
+| `web/src/routes/tags/[category]/[[value]]/+page.svelte` | Change label fetch URL |
+| `web/src/lib/stores/filters.svelte.ts` | Possibly change how review/archive queries are built |
+
+## 6. Tests & Validation
+
+**Build**: `cd sidecar && go build ./... && go vet ./...`
+
+**Manual validation on LXC 120:**
+
+```bash
+# Test labels endpoint
+curl -s "http://localhost:8000/api/sidecar/labels?count=5" \
+  -H "X-Auth-Token: <muli-token>" | python3 -c "import sys,json;d=json.load(sys.stdin);[print(l.get('Name','?'),l.get('PhotoCount')) for l in d[:5]]"
+
+# Test photos endpoint with review
+curl -s "http://localhost:8000/api/sidecar/photos?q=review:true&count=5" \
+  -H "X-Auth-Token: <muli-token>" | python3 -c "import sys,json;d=json.load(sys.stdin);print(f'{len(d)} photos')"
+
+# Verify vs. admin token — counts should differ
+```
+
+**Cross-user check:** Log in as `muli` and `dtoro` in separate browser sessions. Verify:
+- Labels show different counts per user
+- Review photos are scoped per user
+- Archive photos are scoped per user
+
+## 7. Risks, Tradeoffs & Open Questions
+
+### Risks
+
+| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| Sidecar proxying adds latency | Slower page loads | Labels are small payloads; single DB query per label is fast |
+| Frontend needs URL changes | Breaks if not updated | Do frontend change alongside sidecar deploy |
+| Photo count queries on every label request | DB load | Cache results for 30s in the sidecar |
+| PhotoPrism's label `PhotoCount` is stale | Mismatch with actual count | Acceptable — PhotoPrism's count is already cached |
+| Review/archive fix depends on how PhotoPrism handles `path:` operator | Photos in subdirs missed | Use Variant B (post-filter by path prefix) |
+
+### Open Questions
+
+- **Q1**: For review/archive — is the user seeing dtoro's photos in the *grid* or only the *sidebar counts*? Need to verify actual API response vs what the frontend renders.
+- **Q2**: What's the performance impact of running `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM photos_labels ... JOIN photos ...` for every label in the response? (Labels list is typically short, < 100)
+- **Q3**: Does the frontend cache the label response aggressively? Need to invalidate cache on user switch.
+- **Q4**: For the `path:` operator — does it do exact match or LIKE? From source: `WHERE photos.photo_path = ?` — exact match only.
+
+### Tradeoffs
+
+- **Sidecar proxy vs. frontend-only**: Proxy centralizes logic but adds network hop. Frontend-only is faster but more complex (every route needs path filtering).
+- **Label count accuracy**: Recalculated per-user counts will differ from the library-wide counts. This is intentional — labels are scoped now.
+- **Sidecar vs. patching PhotoPrism**: Sidecar approach is non-invasive (no fork/build of PP). PhotoPrism patch would be cleaner but requires maintaining a fork.
+
+## 8. Recommendation
+
+1. **Build the labels proxy** (Phase 1) — it directly solves the label isolation problem and can be done with existing sidecar infrastructure
+2. **Investigate review/archive leak** first — run the actual API query as muli to confirm whether the photos search is actually scoped. The code analysis says it should be, but the user reports otherwise. If confirmed as a real leak, implement the sidecar photos proxy (Phase 2)
+3. **Sidebar counts** (Phase 3) — lower priority, can be done after labels and review/archive are fixed
+
+Before building, confirm with the user whether they see cross-user photos in the actual grid or only in the sidebar counts for review/archive.

+# Plan: Fix remaining user isolation issues — 404 errors and folder tree
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-06  
+**Author:** Hermes Agent  
+**Status:** Draft
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Fix the remaining issues after deploying the sidecar scoping proxy:
+
+1. **404 on photo grid** — "Request failed with status code 404" in private window
+2. **Folder tree shows other users** — on first load, the library tree lists other users' folders; a refresh fixes it
+
+## 2. Current Context
+
+### What's deployed
+
+| Component | Status |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Sidecar labels proxy (`/api/sidecar/labels`) | ✅ Working |
+| Sidecar counts proxy (`/api/sidecar/counts`) | ✅ Working |
+| Sidecar timeline proxy (`/api/sidecar/timeline`) | ✅ Working through Caddy |
+| Caddy fallback for `/api/v1/api/sidecar/*` | ✅ Working |
+| Frontend rebuild with `sidecar` axios instance | ✅ Built and deployed |
+
+### Verified working via Caddy
+
+```bash
+# Through public URL with valid admin token
+curl https://photos.hubris.network/api/sidecar/timeline?count=1 → HTTP 200
+curl https://photos.hubris.network/api/v1/photos?count=1     → HTTP 200
+```
+
+Both endpoints return 200 when tested directly through Caddy with a valid token.
+
+### Reported issues
+
+1. **404 on photo grid** — even in private window (no cache interference)
+2. **Folder tree shows other users' folders** on first load, fixed by refresh
+
+## 3. Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Issue 1: 404 on photo grid
+
+The `sidecar` axios instance (`baseURL: ''`) is missing the **response interceptor** that:
+- Handles 401 → clears session → redirects to login
+- Re-throws with meaningful error message
+
+The `http` instance (for `/api/v1` endpoints) has this interceptor. Without it on `sidecar`:
+- If the sidecar returns a non-2xx (401, 502 from upstream PP failure, etc.), axios throws a raw error
+- The TanStack Query error boundary catches it and shows "Request failed with status code <status>"
+- Very likely the sidecar is returning 401 on some calls (token expired / session not yet established) and the error message might show 404 because Caddy's catch-all returns 404 when a matcher doesn't find a route
+
+**Hypothesis:** During OIDC login flow, the frontend may make some sidecar calls BEFORE the session is fully established (token loaded into `session.accessToken`). The `sidecar` interceptor checks `session.accessToken` but it might be null. Then the request to `/api/sidecar/timeline` has no auth header → sidecar returns 401 → no response interceptor → raw error.
+
+**Fix:** Add the same 401 → login redirect interceptor to the `sidecar` instance.
+
+### Issue 2: Folder tree shows other users
+
+`listFolders()` calls `http.get('/folders/originals')` which hits PhotoPrism directly. PhotoPrism returns **all folders across the library** regardless of user. The frontend then filters by `userBasePath()` on the result:
+
+```typescript
+const bp = userBasePath();
+if (bp === '') return folders;  // On first load, bp might be empty!
+return folders.filter((f) => f.Path === bp || f.Path.startsWith(bp + '/'))
+```
+
+On first load, `userBasePath()` returns `""` because:
+1. The session data is loaded asynchronously
+2. `session.user.BasePath` might not yet be populated when `listFolders` fires
+3. The TanStack Query cache from a previous session might still have old data
+
+After a refresh, the session is fully loaded, and `userBasePath()` returns the correct value.
+
+A secondary issue: the `http` interceptor's 401 handler clears the session on 401. If the session expires during the app's lifetime, all subsequent requests fail with 401.
+
+## 4. Proposed Approach
+
+### Phase 1: Fix 404 — add response interceptor to sidecar
+
+**File:** `web/src/lib/services/photoprism.ts`
+
+Add the same 401 → login redirect interceptor to `sidecar` as already exists on `http`:
+
+```typescript
+sidecar.interceptors.response.use(
+    (r) => r,
+    (err: AxiosError) => {
+        if (err.response?.status === 401 && browser) {
+            clearSession();
+            const url = err.config?.url ?? '';
+            if (!url.endsWith('/session')) {
+                void goto('/login', { replaceState: true });
+            }
+        }
+        return Promise.reject(err);
+    }
+);
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Fix folder tree — sidecar folder proxy
+
+**File:** `sidecar/handlers_folders.go` (new)
+
+Add a sidecar endpoint that proxies `/folders/originals` and post-filters by BasePath:
+
+```
+GET /api/sidecar/folders → proxies to GET /api/v1/folders/originals
+                         → removes folders not under user's base_path
+                         → returns filtered list
+```
+
+This avoids the timing issue entirely by filtering on the server side.
+
+**Alternative (simpler):** Fix the frontend timing issue by ensuring `listFolders` doesn't fire until the session is ready.
+
+### Phase 3: Change folder tree in frontend
+
+**File:** `web/src/lib/services/photoprism.ts`
+
+Change `listFolders()` to use `sidecar` instance and call `/api/sidecar/folders`:
+
+```typescript
+export async function listFolders(): Promise<PpFolder[]> {
+    const { data } = await sidecar.get<{ folders?: PpFolder[] }>(
+        '/api/sidecar/folders',
+        { params: { recursive: true, uncached: true, files: false } }
+    );
+    const bp = userBasePath();
+    const folders = data.folders ?? [];
+    if (bp === '') return folders;
+    return folders
+        .filter((f) => f.Path === bp || f.Path.startsWith(bp + '/'))
+        .map((f) => ({ ...f, Path: toUserPath(f.Path) }));
+}
+```
+
+## 5. Step-by-step Plan
+
+### Step 1: Add sidecar response interceptor
+
+1. Edit `web/src/lib/services/photoprism.ts`
+2. Add the 401-handling response interceptor to the `sidecar` instance
+3. The interceptor mirrors the existing `http` response interceptor exactly
+
+### Step 2: Rebuild frontend
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/mule-image/web && npm run build
+```
+
+### Step 3: (Optional) Add sidecar folder proxy
+
+1. New file `sidecar/handlers_folders_proxy.go`
+2. Handler similar to `handlePhotos` — proxies to `/api/v1/folders/originals`, post-filters by `Path` prefix
+3. Wire route in `main.go`: `auth.GET("/folders", handleFoldersProxy(pp))`
+4. Build Docker image, restart sidecar
+
+### Step 4: Update listFolders to use sidecar
+
+1. Change `listFolders()` to use `sidecar` instance
+2. Call `/api/sidecar/folders` instead of `/folders/originals`
+
+### Step 5: Rebuild + validate
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild frontend
+cd /opt/mule-image/web && npm run build
+
+# Test through Caddy
+curl -s "https://photos.hubris.network/api/sidecar/timeline?count=1" \
+  -H "X-Auth-Token: <token>" | head -c 200
+
+# Verify folders
+curl -s "https://photos.hubris.network/api/sidecar/folders" \
+  -H "X-Auth-Token: <token>" | python3 -c "import sys,json;d=json.load(sys.stdin);print(json.dumps(d[:3],indent=2))"
+```
+
+### Step 6: Commit
+
+```bash
+git add -A && git commit -m "fix: add sidecar response interceptor + folder proxy" && git push
+```
+
+## 6. Files Likely to Change
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `web/src/lib/services/photoprism.ts` | Add response interceptor to sidecar instance; change listFolders URL |
+| `sidecar/handlers_folders_proxy.go` | **New** — folder proxy handler |
+| `sidecar/main.go` | Wire folder proxy route |
+
+## 7. Tests & Validation
+
+**Manual:**
+1. Open private window → navigate to photos.hubris.network
+2. Log in as muli via Authentik OIDC
+3. Verify photo grid loads without 404
+4. Verify folder tree shows only muli's folders
+5. Switch to dtoro account → verify folders/timeline scoped to dtoro
+
+**API tests:**
+```bash
+# Sidecar timeline (no token → 401 redirect)
+curl -s "https://photos.hubris.network/api/sidecar/timeline?count=1"
+
+# Sidecar folders
+curl -s "https://photos.hubris.network/api/sidecar/folders"
+```
+
+## 8. Risks & Open Questions
+
+### Risks
+
+| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| Sidecar returns 401 during OIDC login flow before session is ready | 404 showing instead of graceful redirect | Add response interceptor in Phase 1 |
+| Folder proxy adds latency | Slower folder tree loading | Minimal — single proxy call, same as PP direct |
+| `userBasePath()` timing issue in listFolders persists even with sidecar | Folder tree still shows wrong folders on first load | Sidecar filter is server-side → no timing dependency |
+
+### Open Questions
+
+- **Q1**: Are there other API calls that bypass the `sidecar` instance and might also be unscoped? (e.g., `listSubjects`, `listGeo`, etc.)
+- **Q2**: Does the sidecar need a folder proxy, or is the timing fix sufficient? The timing fix (delaying `listFolders` until session is ready) is simpler but fragile.
+- **Q3**: Could the 404 be from Caddy's catch-all returning 404 when the sidecar isn't reachable? The Caddy fallback timeout for the sidecar might need tuning.

-### Frontend Development
+Three compose services — `mariadb`, `photoprism`, `sidecar` — plus the
+SvelteKit `web/` app served separately. PhotoPrism's port `2342` is
+**bound to `127.0.0.1` only**; it isn't a user-facing surface. The
+SvelteKit app is.
+
+What the sidecar adds on top of PhotoPrism (full list in
+[`sidecar/README.md`](sidecar/README.md)):
+
+- Per-photo marks (rating + color) persisted to `mule_sidecar.marks`
+- File rename + folder create/rename/delete with PhotoPrism reindex
+- Heap (album) → folder conversion
+- Perceptual-hash duplicate scan + archive
+
+## Quick start
+
 ```bash
-cd frontend
+cp .env.example .env
+# edit .env: set PHOTO_DIRS to the host path holding your library
+# rotate PP_ADMIN_PASSWORD, PP_DB_PASSWORD, PP_DB_ROOT_PASSWORD
+# before any non-local deployment.
+
+podman-compose --env-file .env \
+  -f docker-compose.yml \
+  -f docker-compose.podman.yml \
+  up -d
+```
+
+Then serve the frontend. For local use the simplest path is the Vite
+dev server:
+
+```bash
+cd web
 npm install
 npm run dev
+# open http://localhost:5173
 ```
 
+For a static deployment, `npm run build` produces a bundle under
+`web/build/` that any static file host (nginx, Caddy, GitHub Pages-style)
+can serve. Reverse-proxy `/api/v1/*` to `http://127.0.0.1:2342` and
+`/api/sidecar/*` to `http://127.0.0.1:8000`.
+
+PhotoPrism's own UI is still reachable from the host at
+`http://127.0.0.1:2342` if you need admin features (user management,
+settings) — set up an SSH tunnel from your laptop if the server is
+remote.
+
 ## Configuration
 
-Edit `mulita.yml` to configure:
-- Source photo directories
-- Thumbnail sizes and quality
-- Scanner settings
-- Performance tuning

-- Handles 100,000+ photos efficiently
-- Virtual scrolling for smooth timeline navigation
-- Thumbnail generation at 10+ photos/second
-- SQLite FTS5 for fast full-text search
+Sidecar-specific env (DB DSN, `USER_BASEPATHS`, etc.) is documented in
+[`sidecar/README.md`](sidecar/README.md).
 
-## Future Features (Phase 2)
+## Read-only libraries
 
-- AI-powered scene classification
-- Face detection and clustering
-- Smart albums
-- Duplicate detection
-- Export presets
-- Multi-user support
+The default originals mount is `:rw` because file operations (rename,
+folder mutations, duplicate archive, heap convert) need to mutate the
+filesystem. To run against a read-only archive, set
+`PP_ORIGINALS_MODE=ro` in `.env`. Browsing, marks, ratings, and color
+labels still work; the following sidecar endpoints return an OS error:
 
-## License
+- `POST /api/sidecar/files/:uid/rename`
+- `POST /api/sidecar/folders` / `:rel/rename` / `DELETE /:rel`
+- `POST /api/sidecar/albums/:uid/convert`
+- `POST /api/sidecar/duplicates/archive`
 
-MIT
+PhotoPrism's `PHOTOPRISM_READONLY` is controlled separately by
+`PP_READONLY` and gates its own backwrite / import paths.
+
+## Dev iteration loop
+
+For fast iteration on the sidecar without rebuilding its image on every
+change, run it as a host process — bring up just `mariadb` and
+`photoprism` from compose, then build and run the Go binary locally.
+Full instructions in [`sidecar/README.md`](sidecar/README.md#dev-iteration-loop-host-build).

+Hosts with a VA-API-capable GPU (Intel iGPU, AMD APU, etc.) can layer
+[`docker-compose.gpu.yml`](docker-compose.gpu.yml) to hand `/dev/dri/*`
+to PhotoPrism and switch ffmpeg to hardware encode/decode — a large
+perf win for video thumbnails and HEVC→H.264 transcodes:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.gpu.yml up -d
+```
+
+Set `PP_FFMPEG_ENCODER=vaapi` in `.env` (default for the overlay). Verify
+with `docker exec pp-app photoprism show config | grep -i ffmpeg`.

-# PhotoVault — Full Application Spec Prompt
-
-> A self-hosted, Docker-deployed photo management application inspired by Lightroom's workflow.
-> Use this document as the complete specification to build the app from scratch.
-
----
-
-## 1. Project Overview
-
-Build **PhotoVault**, a self-hosted photo & video management web application optimized for a single-user homelab deployment. The user mounts one or more host folders containing photos/videos; the app indexes them, generates thumbnails, and provides a fast keyboard-driven interface to browse, organize, tag, and manage the library. The architecture must be forward-compatible with AI photo recognition features (face detection, scene classification, CLIP embeddings) to be added in a later phase.
-
----
-
-## 2. Stack & Deployment
-
-### 2.1 Docker Compose (single `docker-compose.yml`)
-
-```
-services:
-  frontend   — React SPA (Nginx)
-  backend    — Python FastAPI
-  db         — SQLite (file-based, volume-mounted)
-  worker     — Celery + Redis for background thumbnail/indexing tasks
-  redis      — Redis (Celery broker)
-```
-
-All services declared in one `docker-compose.yml`. Use named volumes for:
-- `/data/thumbs` — generated thumbnails (persistent)
-- `/data/db` — SQLite database file
-- `/data/trash` — files moved to trash
-
-Photo source folders are mounted as **read-write** bind mounts via an environment variable:
-
-```yaml
-volumes:
-  - ${PHOTO_DIRS}:/photos:rw
-```
-
-`PHOTO_DIRS` supports multiple paths via a config file (`photovault.yml`) described in §4.
-
-### 2.2 Frontend
-
-- **React 18** + **Vite**
-- **Tailwind CSS v4**
-- **shadcn/ui** component library
-- **TanStack Query** (React Query) for data fetching & cache
-- **TanStack Virtual** for virtualized scrolling (critical for performance with thousands of photos)
-- **Zustand** for global UI state (selection, active photo, heap, filters)
-- **Framer Motion** for transitions
-
-### 2.3 Backend
-
-- **Python 3.12 + FastAPI**
-- **SQLite** via **SQLAlchemy 2.0** (async) + **Alembic** for migrations
-- **Celery + Redis** for background tasks (thumbnail generation, folder scanning, metadata extraction)
-- **pyvips** (libvips) for fast thumbnail generation — preferred over Pillow for speed at scale
-- **rawpy** for RAW format decoding (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG, ORF, RW2, etc.)
-- **pillow-heif** for HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos)
-- **ffmpeg** (via `ffmpeg-python`) for video thumbnail extraction and metadata
-- **pyexiftool** (wraps ExifTool binary) for deep metadata extraction from all formats
-- **Watchfiles** for inotify-based folder watching (auto-detect new/deleted files)
-
-> **AI-readiness note**: The backend worker architecture is designed to add a `clip_embed` task later (using `open-clip-torch`) that stores 512-dim CLIP embeddings per photo in the DB. Reserve a `embeddings` table with a `photo_id` FK and a `BLOB` column for the vector. No AI code yet — just the schema placeholder.

-POST   /heaps/{id}/convert       Convert heap to folder on disk: { target_path, move: bool }
-```
-
-### 5.4 Tags
-
-```
-GET    /tags                     List all tags with usage counts
-POST   /tags                     Create tag
-PATCH  /tags/{id}                Rename / recolor tag
-DELETE /tags/{id}                Delete tag (removes from all photos)
-GET    /tags/{id}/photos         Photos with this tag
-```
-
-### 5.5 Filters & Search
-
-All list endpoints support these query parameters:
-
-```
-q              Full-text search (filename, user_title, user_notes, EXIF JSON)
-date_from      ISO8601 datetime
-date_to        ISO8601 datetime
-folder_id      Filter by folder (recursive if include_subfolders=true)
-tag_ids        Comma-separated tag IDs (AND logic by default; mode=or for OR)
-media_type     photo|video|raw|heic (comma-separated for multiple)
-rating_min     0-5
-rating_max     0-5
-color_label    red|orange|yellow|green|blue|purple|none
-is_picked      true|false
-is_rejected    true|false
-is_trashed     true|false (default false)
-heap_id        Filter to photos in a specific heap
-sort           taken_at|added_at|filename|file_size|rating (default taken_at)
-order          asc|desc (default desc)
-page           integer (default 1)
-per_page       integer (default 100, max 500)
-```
-
-Full-text search uses SQLite FTS5. Create a virtual FTS table:
-```sql
-CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE photos_fts USING fts5(
-  photo_id UNINDEXED,
-  filename,
-  user_title,
-  user_notes,
-  exif_text  -- denormalized key EXIF fields as plain text (camera make/model, GPS, lens, etc.)
-);
-```
-
-### 5.6 Trash
-
-```
-GET    /trash                    List trashed photos (same filters)
-POST   /trash/restore            Restore { photo_ids: [] } — moves files back to original folder
-DELETE /trash/empty              Permanently delete all trashed photos + files
-DELETE /trash/{id}               Permanently delete single photo + file
-```
-
-### 5.7 Library Stats & Scanning
-
-```
-GET    /library/stats            { total_photos, total_videos, total_size, last_scan }
-POST   /library/scan             Trigger full re-scan (Celery task)
-GET    /library/scan/status      { status, progress, current_folder, queued, done }
-```
-
-### 5.8 Background Tasks (Celery)
-
-- `scan_folder(folder_path)` — Walk directory tree, insert/update photos, detect deletions
-- `generate_thumbs(photo_id)` — Generate small/medium/large WebP thumbnails via pyvips/rawpy/ffmpeg
-- `extract_metadata(photo_id)` — Run ExifTool, parse EXIF/XMP/IPTC, update DB
-- `watch_folders()` — Long-running Watchfiles task, dispatches scan_folder on changes
-- `embed_photo(photo_id)` *(placeholder, no-op)* — Reserved for CLIP embeddings
-
-**Priority queues**: Thumbnail generation for visible photos should be on a `high` queue; full library scans on a `low` queue.

-
-- Left sidebar: resizable, collapsible (shortcut: `Tab`)
-- Right sidebar: collapsible (shortcut: `I`), shows when ≥1 photo selected
-- Main area: full virtualized scroll, single scroll region
-
-### 6.2 Views
-

-- Thumbnails rendered via **TanStack Virtual** — only DOM nodes in/near viewport are rendered
-- Thumbnail grid is **responsive** — uses CSS grid with `auto-fill` and configurable thumbnail size (slider or `+/-` keys)
-- Thumbnails show: image, hover overlay with filename, EXIF date, optional rating stars
-- **Lazy thumbnail loading**: request `thumb_small` initially; upgrade to `thumb_medium` on hover/selection
-- On initial scan, show a shimmer skeleton for photos without thumbnails yet; poll backend for thumb completion

-
-### 6.8 Search
-
-- Magnifier icon in top bar, shortcut `/` or `Cmd+F`
-- Full-text search via FTS5 backend
-- Search covers: filename, user title, user notes, camera make/model, lens, GPS place names, tags

-## 7. Media Handling
-
-### 7.1 Supported Formats
-
-| Category | Formats |
-|----------|---------|
-| JPEG | `.jpg`, `.jpeg` |
-| PNG | `.png` |
-| TIFF | `.tif`, `.tiff` |
-| WebP | `.webp` |
-| HEIC/HEIF | `.heic`, `.heif` (via pillow-heif) |
-| RAW — Canon | `.cr2`, `.cr3` |
-| RAW — Nikon | `.nef`, `.nrw` |
-| RAW — Sony | `.arw`, `.srf` |
-| RAW — Fuji | `.raf` |
-| RAW — Panasonic | `.rw2` |
-| RAW — Olympus | `.orf` |
-| RAW — Samsung | `.srw` |
-| RAW — Pentax | `.pef` |
-| RAW — Leica | `.rwl`, `.dng` |
-| RAW — DNG (universal) | `.dng` |
-| RAW — Others | via rawpy (libraw) fallback |
-| Video | `.mp4`, `.mov`, `.avi`, `.mkv`, `.mts`, `.m2ts`, `.3gp` |
-| Live Photos | `.heic` + `.mov` pair (detect by matching base filename) |
-
-### 7.2 Thumbnail Generation Pipeline
-
-For each photo during indexing:
-1. Detect format by extension + magic bytes
-2. Decode to in-memory RGB image:
-   - JPEG/PNG/TIFF/WebP → pyvips native
-   - HEIC/HEIF → pillow-heif → pyvips
-   - RAW → rawpy (half-size decode for speed) → numpy → pyvips
-   - Video → ffmpeg extract frame at 10% duration → pyvips
-3. Auto-rotate by EXIF orientation
-4. Generate 3 sizes: 240px, 640px, 1280px (longest edge, maintain AR)
-5. Save as WebP (quality 85) to `/data/thumbs/{photo_id}/{size}.webp`
-6. Update `thumb_small`, `thumb_medium`, `thumb_large` columns in DB
-
-For web display of original RAW/HEIC in loupe view: generate a full-res WebP proxy on demand (cached). Serve via `GET /photos/{id}/proxy`.
-
-### 7.3 Metadata Extraction
-
-Run ExifTool (subprocess) on every file during indexing. Parse output JSON. Store:
-- `taken_at` — prefer `DateTimeOriginal`, fallback: `CreateDate`, `MediaCreateDate`, file mtime
-- GPS coordinates if present
-- All EXIF/IPTC/XMP fields stored as JSON in `exif_json`
-- Denormalize key fields to FTS table for search
-
-For Live Photos: link the `.mov` sidecar to the `.heic` via a `live_photo_video_id` FK on the photos table.
-
----
-
-## 8. File Operations
-
-All file operations that touch disk must:
-1. Validate target path is within a known source_root (prevent path traversal)
-2. Execute atomically where possible (temp file + rename)
-3. Update DB after successful disk operation (never before)
-4. Emit a WebSocket event (or SSE) so the frontend can update optimistically
-5. Be undoable via Undo stack (store reverse operation in memory, max 50 ops)
-
-### Operations
-
-| Operation | Disk action | DB action |
-|-----------|-------------|-----------|
-| Move photos | `shutil.move` | Update `filepath`, `folder_id` |
-| Copy photos | `shutil.copy2` | Insert new photo record |
-| Rename file | `os.rename` | Update `filepath`, `filename` |
-| Rename folder | `os.rename` | Update folder `path` recursively |
-| Create folder | `os.makedirs` | Insert folder record |
-| Trash photo | Move to `/data/trash/{id}/original.{ext}` | Set `is_trashed=1`, `trashed_at` |
-| Restore from trash | Move back to original path (or new path if original gone) | Clear `is_trashed` |
-| Permanent delete | `os.unlink` | Delete photo record (cascade to tags, heaps) |
-| Convert heap to folder | `os.makedirs(target)` + move/copy each photo | Insert folder, update photo folder_id |
-
----
-
-## 9. Performance Requirements
-
-- **Initial page load**: < 2s (LCP)
-- **Timeline scroll** (10,000+ photos): 60 fps — enforced by TanStack Virtual (only ~20-30 DOM nodes rendered at any time)
-- **Thumbnail serve**: < 50ms via Nginx X-Accel-Redirect (backend sets header, Nginx serves file directly)
-- **Search**: < 200ms for FTS5 query on 100k photos
-- **Thumbnail generation**: ≥ 10 photos/sec on typical homelab CPU (pyvips is ~10x faster than Pillow)
-- **Scan throughput**: ≥ 500 files/sec metadata scan (ExifTool batch mode processes files in bulk)
-- **Celery workers**: 4 concurrent workers by default (`CELERYD_CONCURRENCY=4` env var)
-- Images not yet thumbnailed show a shimmer skeleton; thumbnails stream into view as they complete
-
----
-
-## 10. UI Design System
-
-### 10.1 Aesthetic
-
-Dark-first application (photography tools are dark-themed to preserve color perception). Light mode available via toggle.
-
-- **Dark mode primary surface**: Near-black warm dark `#111110`, not cold gray
-- **Accent**: Desaturated teal — does not compete with photo colors
-- **Typography**: `Geist` (body, UI chrome) + `Geist Mono` (metadata values, EXIF numbers)
-- Dense UI — this is a power tool, not a consumer app. Compact spacing.
-- Inspired by: Lightroom Classic, Linear, Darkroom (iOS)
-
-### 10.2 Key UI Components (shadcn/ui)
-
-Use these shadcn/ui primitives: `Button`, `ContextMenu`, `Dialog`, `DropdownMenu`, `Input`, `Label`, `Popover`, `ScrollArea`, `Separator`, `Sheet` (for mobile sidebar), `Skeleton`, `Slider`, `Switch`, `Tabs`, `Textarea`, `Toast`, `Tooltip`
-
-Build custom components:
-- `<PhotoThumbnail>` — thumbnail with selection state, pick/reject badges, rating overlay on hover
-- `<TimelineGroup>` — sticky date header + grid of thumbnails
-- `<VirtualTimeline>` — TanStack Virtual wrapper over TimelineGroups
-- `<FilmStrip>` — horizontal scrollable strip for loupe view
-- `<StarRating>` — interactive 0-5 stars
-- `<ColorLabel>` — 7-state color dot picker
-- `<MetadataRow>` — label + value pair with edit-in-place for editable fields
-- `<FolderTreeNode>` — recursive folder tree item with context menu
-- `<HeapItem>` — heap list item with active indicator
-- `<FilterChip>` — removable active filter chip
-- `<ProgressBar>` — scan progress in top bar
-- `<ShortcutReference>` — `?` overlay showing all shortcuts in a modal
-
-### 10.3 Color Scheme Variables
-
-```css
-/* Dark mode (default for photo apps) */
---color-bg:           #111110;
---color-surface:      #161615;
---color-surface-2:    #1c1c1a;
---color-surface-offset: #222220;
---color-border:       rgba(255,255,255,0.08);
---color-text:         #e8e6e0;
---color-text-muted:   #878580;
---color-text-faint:   #4a4845;
---color-primary:      #4f98a3;  /* desaturated teal */
---color-pick:         #4f9e5c;  /* green for picked */
---color-reject:       #c25a5a;  /* red for rejected */
---color-star:         #d4a340;  /* amber for stars */
-```
-
----
-
-## 11. Error States & Edge Cases
-
-- **File not found on disk** (moved externally): Show "missing file" badge on thumbnail. Offer "Locate File" action.
-- **Corrupt/unreadable file**: Log error, show broken-image placeholder, never crash the scan worker.
-- **Duplicate detection**: On scan, if a file with the same SHA-256 hash already exists in DB, mark as `is_duplicate=true` — do not create a second record. Show duplicate indicator in thumbnail.
-- **Scan in progress + user navigates**: Show partial results immediately as photos are indexed.
-- **Disk full**: Catch `OSError` on thumbnail write, log, continue scan.
-- **RAW decode failure**: Fall back to extracting the embedded JPEG preview from the RAW file (ExifTool can extract it).
-
----
-
-## 12. Stretch Goals (Phase 2 — Not in Initial Build)
-
-These must not be built now but the architecture must not block them:
-
-1. **AI Scene Classification** — CLIP embeddings per photo, semantic search ("find photos with mountains")
-2. **Face Detection & Clustering** — face_recognition lib or InsightFace, cluster by identity
-3. **Smart Albums** — saved filter presets that auto-populate (e.g., "5-star Canon shots from 2024")
-4. **Duplicate Finder** — perceptual hash (pHash) across library
-5. **Export Presets** — resize + watermark + format conversion on export
-6. **Multi-user** — add FastAPI auth (JWT), per-user libraries
-7. **Mobile PWA** — service worker, offline thumbnail caching

-## 14. Implementation Priorities
-
-Build in this order to get a working MVP as fast as possible:
-
-1. **Docker Compose skeleton** — all services up, health checks passing
-2. **DB schema + Alembic migration**
-3. **Folder scanner + thumbnail generator** (Celery tasks) — the core engine
-4. **`GET /photos` + `GET /photos/{id}/thumb/{size}`** — minimum API to display photos
-5. **Frontend: VirtualTimeline + PhotoThumbnail** — display the library

+# mule-sidecar
+
+Go + Gin + GORM service for the endpoints PhotoPrism's REST API does not
+expose. Same wire contract as the M3 Node prototype it replaces; the
+SvelteKit client at [web/](../web/) talks to it transparently through
+Vite's `/api/sidecar/*` proxy.
+
+## What it owns
+
+| Method | Path                                    | Purpose                                       |
+| ------ | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| GET    | `/api/sidecar/healthz`                  | Unauthenticated liveness probe.               |
+| GET    | `/api/sidecar/photos/marks`             | Every per-photo `{rating, color}` mark.       |
+| GET    | `/api/sidecar/photos/:uid/marks`        | One photo's mark (or `{}` if none).           |
+| PUT    | `/api/sidecar/photos/:uid/marks`        | Patch one photo's mark.                       |
+| POST   | `/api/sidecar/photos/marks/bulk`        | Stamp the same mark onto many photos.         |
+| POST   | `/api/sidecar/files/:uid/rename`        | Rename the primary file on disk + reindex.    |
+| POST   | `/api/sidecar/folders`                  | Create a folder under `${ORIGINALS_ROOT}`.    |
+| POST   | `/api/sidecar/folders/:rel/rename`      | Rename a folder (rel path URL-encoded).       |
+| DELETE | `/api/sidecar/folders/:rel`             | Delete an **empty** folder.                   |
+| POST   | `/api/sidecar/albums/:uid/convert`      | Move/copy every photo in a heap into folder X. |
+| GET    | `/api/sidecar/duplicates/scan`          | Walk originals, return same-hash groups.      |
+| POST   | `/api/sidecar/duplicates/archive`       | Move duplicate paths into `.duplicates/<ts>/`. |
+
+Auth: every endpoint except `healthz` requires the caller's
+`X-Auth-Token` header. The sidecar holds no service credentials — it
+proxies the token straight back to PhotoPrism's `/api/v1/photos?count=1`
+to confirm the session is live before doing anything destructive.
+
+Marks persist to **MariaDB** (`mule_sidecar.marks`); everything else
+operates on the filesystem under `${ORIGINALS_ROOT}` and triggers a
+PhotoPrism reindex of the affected parent in the background.
+
+## Run
+
+The sidecar is a `sidecar` service in the PhotoPrism compose stack.
+Bringing the whole stack up brings it up too:
+
+```sh
+podman-compose --env-file .env \
+  -f docker-compose.yml \
+  -f docker-compose.podman.yml \
+  up -d
+```
+
+This builds [Dockerfile](Dockerfile) (multi-stage `golang:1.25-alpine` →
+`gcr.io/distroless/static`, ~12 MB final image), starts the container,
+and binds `127.0.0.1:8000` to the service. The SvelteKit dev server
+proxies `/api/sidecar/*` to that port transparently.
+
+### Dev-iteration loop (host build)
+
+For tight iteration without rebuilding the image on every change you
+can run it as a host process — Go is already on the dev machine:
+
+```sh
+cd sidecar
+go build -o mule-sidecar .
+
+ORIGINALS_ROOT=/path/to/photoprism/originals \
+PHOTOPRISM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:2342 \
+SIDECAR_PORT=8000 \
+./mule-sidecar
+```
+
+The host build connects to `mariadb` via the loopback port the compose
+file publishes; stop `pp-sidecar` first so they don't fight for 8000.

+## Schema
+
+GORM `AutoMigrate` creates the only table the service owns:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE marks (
+  photo_uid  VARCHAR(64) PRIMARY KEY,
+  rating     BIGINT NULL,
+  color      VARCHAR(16) NULL,
+  updated_at DATETIME(3)
+);
+```
+
+The M3 Node prototype kept the same data in `sidecar/data/marks.json`.
+There is no migration path — the prototype's marks file was dev-only
+state. Heap-sharing tables (M4) will land in subsequent migrations.

+// separated by commas (whitespace tolerated), e.g.:
+//
+//	USER_BASEPATHS="test:test, alice:family/alice, bob:bob"
+//
+// For every entry the sidecar:
+//  1. Ensures the originals subdirectory exists (so PhotoPrism's path:
+//     filter has somewhere to point — empty dirs are fine).
+//  2. UPDATEs `photoprism.auth_users.base_path` for the matching user
+//     row if the current value differs. Idempotent: rows already
+//     matching are skipped, and missing users are no-ops (they'll
+//     materialise when they log in via OIDC; the periodic ticker
+//     catches them on the next pass).
+//
+// A 60-second ticker keeps the mapping in lockstep with new OIDC
+// registrations without needing a webhook.

+
+Everything you need to build a Svelte project, powered by [`sv`](https://github.com/sveltejs/cli).
+
+## Creating a project
+
+If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. Congrats!
+
+```sh
+# create a new project
+npx sv create my-app
+```
+
+To recreate this project with the same configuration:
+
+```sh
+# recreate this project
+npx sv@0.15.3 create --template minimal --types ts --install npm web
+```
+
+## Developing
+
+Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with `npm install` (or `pnpm install` or `yarn`), start a development server:
+
+```sh
+npm run dev
+
+# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
+npm run dev -- --open
+```
+
+## Building
+
+To create a production version of your app:
+
+```sh
+npm run build
+```
+
+You can preview the production build with `npm run preview`.
+
+> To deploy your app, you may need to install an [adapter](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/adapters) for your target environment.
