dtoro 032dce6c85 feat(sidecar): port Node prototype to Go + Gin + GORM + MariaDB
Replace the Node prototype (server.mjs) with the stack the merge plan
calls for: Go 1.25, Gin for routing, GORM + MariaDB for persistence.
Same wire contract on /api/sidecar/* so the SvelteKit client doesn't
change.

- Marks move from a JSON file on disk to mule_sidecar.marks (auto-
  migrated by GORM on first boot). The Node prototype's marks.json
  was dev-only; not migrated.
- Folder/rename/heap-convert/duplicates handlers reproduce the
  prototype's behaviour, including the path-traversal defence
  (resolveUnderRoot + EvalSymlinks), the size-bucket prefilter for
  the duplicate hasher, and the background reindex fire-and-forget
  pattern.
- Auth model unchanged: requireSession middleware proxies the
  caller's X-Auth-Token to PhotoPrism's /api/v1/photos?count=1
  before any destructive op.
- Expose pp-mariadb on 127.0.0.1:3306 in docker-compose so the
  host Go process can reach mule_sidecar.* without joining the
  container network.
- Archive the Node prototype under sidecar/legacy/server.mjs for
  one cycle as reference.

# 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.
## Build & run
```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 SvelteKit dev server proxies `/api/sidecar/*` to
`http://localhost:8000`.
## Env
| Var | Default | Notes |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `ORIGINALS_ROOT` | `/photoprism/originals` | Absolute path; must match PhotoPrism's mount. |
| `PHOTOPRISM_BASE_URL` | `http://localhost:2342` | Where to reach PhotoPrism for session validation + reindex calls. |
| `SIDECAR_PORT` | `8000` | Loopback-only; reverse-proxy fronts it in production. |
| `SIDECAR_DSN` | _(built from the vars below)_ | Set this to override the assembled MySQL DSN entirely. |
| `SIDECAR_DB_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | Host of the MariaDB the compose stack publishes on `127.0.0.1:3306`. |
| `SIDECAR_DB_PORT` | `3306` | |
| `SIDECAR_DB_USER` | `sidecar` | Provisioned by [`mariadb/init/01-sidecar.sql`](../mariadb/init/01-sidecar.sql) on first boot. |
| `SIDECAR_DB_PASSWORD` | `replace-at-m4-bringup` | Literal placeholder — **rotate before any non-local deployment**. |
| `SIDECAR_DB_NAME` | `mule_sidecar` | |
## 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.
