Backend — Photos timeline now groups by real capture date instead of upload time. New MediaMetadataService (FileLifecycleHook) extracts EXIF DateTimeOriginal from images and container creation_time from videos (mov/mp4/mkv) via nom-exif, timezone-correct (OffsetTimeOriginal), persisting captured_at so the existing media_sort_date trigger takes over. Adds POST /admin/photos/metadata/reextract to backfill existing media. Falls back to upload date when no embedded date exists.
Frontend — premium grid cards: combined metadata line (relative date · size, owner avatar when shared), custom selection checkbox with a clear checked state, uniform full-width 4:3 thumbnail tiles independent of filename length, centered file-type icons, and a hit-test fix so checkbox/star/kebab clicks reach the controls (the decorative thumbnail no longer captures pointer events). Notification messages internationalised across all 16 locales. Broader polish: design tokens, a11y/focus-visible states, brand + PWA assets.
Chore — bump semver-compatible dependencies (cargo upgrade); add nom-exif 3.6.1.

Every folder navigation awaited rebuildBreadCrumb() — one sequential
fetch per ancestor level — before requesting the first page, so a
depth-8 folder paid ~8 RTTs of dead time before the content even
started loading. And nothing was cached: navigating between sibling
folders re-fetched the same ancestors every time.
- filesModel: session cache id → FolderItem for breadcrumb resolution
(warm navigations rebuild the trail with zero fetches), invalidated
on rename/move (single + batch) via invalidateFolderMeta. The trail
is now built locally and committed atomically, guarded by a
generation token so a rebuild superseded by a faster follow-up
navigation can no longer interleave writes into the newer trail.
- filesView.loadFiles: the rebuild runs concurrently with the first
page fetch; crumbs, history and title update when it resolves.
Navigation latency becomes max(listing, ancestor chain) instead of
their sum — and ~equal to the listing alone once the cache is warm.
The home-folder fallback for inaccessible targets is preserved by
reloading the listing when the rebuild had to reset app.currentPath.

Four related fixes to stop buffering files in page memory and stop
hammering layout from the selection paths:
- Inline viewer media: video/audio fetched the ENTIRE file into a blob
before the first frame (a 2 GB video = 2 GB of tab heap, no
progressive playback, no seek). The <video>/<audio> src now points
straight at the same-origin API URL — cookies travel automatically
and the browser streams with native Range requests, exactly like the
music player already did.
- Downloads (file, folder ZIP, batch ZIP, viewer button): the
fetch → blob → objectURL pattern materialized the whole payload in
RAM before the save dialog appeared (a 10 GB batch ZIP risked
crashing the tab) with no download progress UI. New shared
utils/download.js hands the URL to the browser, which streams to
disk with its own progress UI. Batch download uses the existing GET
endpoint (same URL contract as the drag-out DownloadURL, now shared
via buildBatchDownloadUrl); selections whose id list cannot fit in a
URL keep the buffered POST fallback. Trade-off: failed downloads now
surface in the browser's download shelf instead of an in-app toast.
- Rubber-band lasso: every mousemove (>100/s) walked all cards
interleaving getBoundingClientRect() reads with class writes — up to
N forced reflows per event, freezing the frame rate on folders with
thousands of loaded rows. Card rects (+ item info) are now snapshot
once per drag (rebuilt on scroll), and a single rAF pass per frame
compares against the cached geometry, touching only cards whose
selection state changed.
- batchToolbar: getSelection() rebuilt the selection by scanning every
.file-item in the document (the TODO admitted it); it now reads the
_selected Map that every selection path already keeps in sync.
clear() scopes its DOM sweep to #files-list (the only container the
toolbar manages) instead of the whole document.

displaySearchResults inserted up to 100 results one at a time via
addItem({ scroll: true, highlight: true }) — each insert ran two DOM
scans (duplicate guard + row lookup), a smooth scrollIntoView and a
highlight pulse, so every live-search keystroke triggered ~100 competing
smooth-scrolls and O(n²) container scans.
Add filesView.renderItems(): a single component.render() pass (one
DocumentFragment, zero per-item scans/scrolls). addItem keeps the
scroll/highlight affordances for its documented purpose — optimistic
single-item inserts after upload/create.

issue: on folder creation view was wiped and displaying only the new folder
fix: add a "new" swimlane if in group mode and scroll up to the new created folder
- OIDC JIT define the locale only at user creation, user can so change his preference later
- invited users will inherit inviter's locale
- email will use prefered_locale
- login to a new browser will use prefered_locale
this implements first version (manageable only by admin right now)
routes:
GET /api/groups
List subject groups (paginated). Admin-only.
POST /api/groups
Create a new ReBAC subject group. Admin-only. The name must match the RFC 5321 local-part shape and be globally unique (case-insensitive).
GET /api/groups/search
Search non-virtual groups by name substring. Authenticated only (no admin role required) — backs the share-dialog recipient autocomplete.
GET /api/groups/{id}
Fetch a single group's details. Admin-only.
DELETE /api/groups/{id}
Delete a group. Cascades to `subject_group_members` (FK) and to `access_grants` rows referencing this group as a subject. Admin-only.
PATCH /api/groups/{id}
Update a group's metadata. Admin-only. v1 only persists name renames.
GET /api/groups/{id}/effective-members
List every user transitively reached through this group (members of members of members, etc.). Used by admin / audit tooling. Admin-only.
GET /api/groups/{id}/members
List the *direct* members of a group (one level only). Admin-only.
POST /api/groups/{id}/members
Add a member to a group. Exactly one of `user_id` / `group_id` must be provided. Adding a group-member runs a write-time cycle check and a nesting-depth check (max 8). Admin-only.
DELETE /api/groups/{id}/members/group/{gid}
Remove a nested group-member from a group. Admin-only.
DELETE /api/groups/{id}/members/user/{uid}
Remove a user-member from a group. Admin-only.

- On mobile (≤768px), replace the full search bar in the topbar with a
search icon button; tapping it expands a full-width search overlay
with a back arrow to collapse (Google Drive-style pattern)
- Escape key also collapses the mobile search overlay
- Hide the redundant inline search icon when the mobile search bar is
active (submit button already has one)
- Move the language selector from the topbar into the user menu for all
screen sizes, reducing topbar clutter; it renders as an accordion row
matching other menu items
- Fix user menu positioning in RTL layouts (Arabic/Persian): anchor to
left:0 instead of right:0 so the panel opens inward rather than
off-screen
- protect file_management_service::rename_file with validate_storage_name
- remove specific rename modal and use the generic modal class (less duplicate)
- handle errors on modal action: do not close the modal on error and display this error
- hide "Go to parent folder" contextMenu if section is files and folder is the same as current one
this change replace original window.fetch by a wrapper that check any 401 response, is so it will request a refresh token
this solve current issue with Favorites & Recent sections that give blank page when token is expired
- exclusion of requests to other domain (401 will not be handled here)
- security with shares /api/s is not handled
- check with CSRF, no risk
