Every change is benchmark-verified (harness + before/after numbers in
benches/, measured on this branch; reproduction commands in each doc):
DAV / sync-client hot paths
- PROPFIND dead-properties: one = ANY($1) query per 500-child page instead
of one sequential query per child, and indexable `=` predicates instead
of IS NOT DISTINCT FROM (seq scans). 2,000-child folder: 1.07-4.54 s of
DB chatter -> 4-6 ms (258-773x). Applied to native + NC PROPFIND and
both NC REPORT handlers. [benches/DEAD-PROPS.md]
- Folder paging: keyset cursor (name > $last) + new partial index
(folder_id, name) replaces LIMIT/OFFSET full-folder rescan per page.
Full 20k-file walk: 1266 ms -> 77 ms (16.5x). New migration
20260917000000. [benches/PROPFIND-PAGING.md]
- NC chroot / default-drive resolution: moka caches (30 s TTL, explicit
invalidation on drive mutations) for find_default_for_user and the
markerless chroot FolderDto. 2 uncached queries + 2 pool checkouts per
NC/WebDAV/WOPI request -> sub-us moka hit (p50 0.7-3.6 ms -> ~1 us).
[benches/CHROOT-CACHE.md]
- Quota: PROPFINDs whose prop list never names a quota prop skip the
2-query resolution entirely (wants_quota()); the remaining lookups read
2 columns instead of the full auth.users row with its <=512 KiB avatar
(11-16x, p50 3.4 ms -> 0.29 ms). Same narrow read now gates every
upload quota check. [benches/QUOTA-PATH.md]
CPU on the request path
- ZIP exports (folder download, share ZIP, batch download): entries whose
MIME says already-compressed (JPEG/MP4/zip/pdf/...) are Stored instead
of Deflate - deflate ran inline on the tokio writer task at ~41 MB/s
for ~0% size gain. Mixed media corpus: 4.31x wall and CPU, archive size
unchanged. Shared predicate in common::mime_detect. [benches/ZIP-MEDIA.md]
- Compression layers: tower-http's default maps to Brotli QUALITY 11
(verified in brotli-8.0.2 source and empirically: 90 ms per 64 KiB JSON
response, 1.3 s per 700 KiB bundle). Both layers pinned to Precise(4):
99x less CPU for ~15% more bytes. SPA assets are now precompressed at
build time (scripts/precompress.mjs, 77% smaller) and served via
ServeDir::precompressed_br/gzip: 2016x less per-request work, and
clients get the better q11 bytes. [benches/STATIC-PRECOMPRESSED.md]
Batched / cached backend paths [benches/NPLUS1-AND-CACHES.md]
- Content-search ReBAC re-verification: new
AuthorizationEngine::check_files_read_batch (default = old loop;
PgAclEngine override batches drive resolution + reuses role cache).
200 sequential point SELECTs per search -> 1-2 queries.
- Batch-ZIP subtree downloads: drop per-file re-authz + per-file Recent
recording (2 writes/file) for subtree entries already authorized at the
root - mirrors the native folder-download path. ~6,000 statements
removed from a 2,000-file archive.
- CDC chunk manifests: immutable by content address, now moka-cached
(weight-bounded 32 MiB, 60 s TTL, positive-only, invalidated on delete)
- removes one manifest query (p50 0.44-4.4 ms) from every stream,
range and full blob read.
- People tab: grouped COUNT + batched cover lookup instead of dragging
every face row with its 2 KiB embedding (10k faces: 30.4 ms & 21 MB ->
3.8 ms & 1.3 KB, 8.1x); merge() is one set-based UPDATE.
[benches/PEOPLE-LIST.md]
- Photos timeline cursor: raw timestamptz comparison instead of
EXTRACT(EPOCH ...) wrapper + IS NULL OR disjunction - cursor is an
index boundary again, deep scroll stops re-scanning skipped rows.
- Public share landing: one atomic UPDATE ... access_count + 1 (was
SELECT + full-row write-back: racy, lost updates, clobbered concurrent
owner edits) - 3 round-trips -> 2 per visit.
- move_to_trash: dead full-entity SELECT feeding a documented no-op
removed from both branches; dead fields dropped from TrashService.
- NFC normalization: is_nfc_quick fast path skips the decompose/recompose
state machine for the ~100% already-NFC case (every row loaded from PG).
Frontend
- Large folders paint after page one (~200 items) via fetchFolderListing's
new onPage hook instead of waiting for every sequential page.
- Tested-and-reverted (kept for the record): cached Intl.Collator for name
sorts - vitest showed it 2x SLOWER than V8's argument-less localeCompare
fast path (5.6 ms vs 12.1 ms / 5k names). Sort order untouched.
New bench harnesses under examples/ (bench feature): zip_media,
dead_props, chroot_cache, quota_path, people_list, propfind_paging,
static_precompress.

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 upload surface previously wrote each byte to disk twice: the HTTP
body was spooled to a temp file (or assembled from chunk parts), then
mmap-re-read for FastCDC analysis, and finally the new chunks were
written to the blob backend. CDC could not start until the last byte
arrived, so large uploads paid receive + reread + rewrite latency.
The dedup engine now chunks, hashes and settles the stream WHILE it
arrives (fastcdc AsyncStreamCDC + incremental BLAKE3):
- Each batch of distinct chunks is pinned-or-classified by ONE
`UPDATE … RETURNING` (no check-then-bump TOCTOU; pinned chunks can't
be reclaimed mid-upload), and only chunks the store doesn't have are
written — a full dedup hit performs zero content writes.
- Durability before visibility is preserved: one batched fsync sweep,
then one batched INSERT, then the manifest. Identical concurrent
uploads are resolved at the manifest INSERT via ON CONFLICT (the
loser releases its references and becomes a dedup hit).
- A drop guard rolls back pins and surfaces written-but-unregistered
chunks to GC if the request future is cancelled mid-stream.
- MIME sniffing now peeks the first bytes in-flight; client-requested
MD5/SHA-256 checksums are computed by a stream tee — the post-upload
re-read of the assembled file is gone.
All surfaces converge on the new interfaces::upload_ingest helper:
REST multipart, WebDAV PUT, NextCloud PUT, WOPI PutFile, the dedup
endpoint, and both chunked-upload completions (which now stream their
ordered parts straight into the store instead of writing an assembled
file — chunk parts persist until finalize, so completion is genuinely
retryable). The legacy blob re-chunk migration streams from the
backend with no spool file either.
Legacy removed: store_from_file + mmap CDC analysers + temp-path
plumbing through every port (pre_computed_hash, save_file_from_temp,
update_file_content_from_temp), upload_spool + assembled-file
assembly in both chunked services, create_file/update_file byte-slice
variants (no callers), common::temp, the OXICLOUD_UPLOAD_TMPDIR
config, and the memmap2 dependency.
Verified end-to-end against PostgreSQL 16: 8 MB upload (26 chunks),
identical re-upload (dedup hit, zero writes), 3-byte edit re-upload
(26 chunks, 1 written), byte-identical downloads, Range across chunk
boundaries, concurrent identical-upload race (manifest ref 2), and
trash-empty reclaiming exactly the unshared chunk while the shared 25
survive for the edited file. The empty/sub-8KB multipart path found a
post-EOF re-poll panic in the MIME peek (fixed with fuse + regression
test).

- JWT secret auto-generates and persists to <STORAGE_PATH>/.jwt_secret
- Remove setup token: first admin setup is open until system initialized
- Fix schema.sql: move CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm/ltree to top
- Update login UI and auth.js to remove setup token fields
Nextcloud app uploads sent application/octet-stream as Content-Type,
causing images to not be recognized. Now both WebDAV PUT and chunked
upload paths call refine_content_type() which detects via magic bytes,
then extension, then falls back to the client header. Also fixes
update_file() which previously hardcoded application/octet-stream.
