* permits multiple drag & drop

Add download progress tracking to createBlobUrlViewer to fix incorrect
progress display for large files. Changes:
- Add xhr.onprogress handler to track download bytes
- Use 64-bit float division to avoid 32-bit integer overflow
- Show progress bar UI for files >10MB with percentage
- Add CSS styles with dark theme support
The progress calculation now correctly handles files larger than 2GB
by using JavaScript's native double-precision floats instead of
operations that might truncate to 32-bit integers.
Fixes#82
- Fix dark mode toggle not responding by deriving theme state from
localStorage instead of UI pill state. Added syncThemePill() to ensure
UI and document theme stay synchronized.
- Fix file search error when folder_id is empty by validating the
currentPath before setting it in search options. Empty folder_id
now correctly triggers global search instead of causing a backend
error with invalid UUID.
Fixes#102
The trash nav handler manually set view flags instead of calling
setCurrentSection('trash'), which meant the photos container was
never hidden when switching to trash. Use the central view-switching
function so all other views (photos, shared) are properly cleaned up.

Replace the innerHTML full-rebuild in _render() with two paths:
- _renderFull(): used for first load, group-mode change, and deletions
- _appendBatch(n): append-only for infinite-scroll pages — O(batch)
instead of O(total). Existing <img> nodes are never destroyed,
eliminating the visual flash and unnecessary DOM churn.
Also:
- Extract _renderTile() helper (DRY tile HTML generation)
- Extract _observeSentinel() helper
- Scope _setupVideoThumbnails(startIndex) to only process new tiles
- Add data-group attribute on headers for efficient CSS.escape lookup
- Fix stale WebP references in comments (now JPEG)
- Add virtual scrolling idea to TODO-LIST.md for future evaluation
Replace all 3 ImageFormat::WebP encode sites with JpegEncoder q=80.
Update fast-path to detect JPEG SOI instead of RIFF/WEBP magic.
Change file extension .webp -> .jpg, Content-Type headers, and
browser toBlob. Remove unused ImageFormat import and stale comments.
The webp feature stays for DECODING uploaded WebP images.
Schema (media_sort_date denormalization):
- Add media_sort_date column to storage.files with DEFAULT created_at
- Add trigger sync_media_sort_date: when file_metadata is upserted,
copies COALESCE(captured_at, created_at) into files.media_sort_date
- Add partial index idx_files_media_timeline on (user_id, media_sort_date DESC)
WHERE NOT is_trashed AND media type -- enables Index Scan + Limit (no Sort)
- copy_folder_tree now copies media_sort_date for copied files
- Remove dead idx_file_metadata_captured (no longer needed)
Query optimization (list_media_files):
- Rewrite to use fi.media_sort_date instead of COALESCE(fm.captured_at,...)
- Eliminates LEFT JOIN file_metadata -- one fewer table touch
- Plan: Limit to Index Scan O(LIMIT) instead of Sort O(N)
Video thumbnail pre-scaling (client + server):
- JS: pre-scale canvas to max 400px before toBlob -- 22x less RAM, 15x less BW
- Rust: fast-path in store_external_thumbnail -- if payload is already
WebP with dims within max_dim, store as-is (zero decode, zero encode)
The double-submit CSRF middleware blocks all mutating requests
without the X-CSRF-Token header. photos.js was uploading video
thumbnails via PUT without it, causing a flood of 403 errors.
- Add getCsrfHeaders() spread to the fetch headers
- Add credentials: 'same-origin' to ensure cookie is sent
Backend:
- 204 response: add Cache-Control: no-store so browser never caches
'no thumbnail yet' — next GET after PUT upload gets the WebP
Frontend:
- _videoThumbCache (Map): persists fileId → URL across re-renders,
so switching tabs reuses cached URLs instantly (no re-decode)
- Render: videos with cached URL skip the 204/error/decode cycle
- After PUT succeeds: swap blob URL → server ?v=1 URL so blob is GC'd
- Concurrency throttle: max 3 simultaneous video decodes to avoid
overwhelming network + CPU when gallery has many videos
- Decode queue: pending videos processed as slots free up
