Backend: new GET /api/photos endpoint with cursor-based pagination that
queries image/video files sorted by EXIF captured_at (falling back to
created_at), joining file_metadata for sort dates.
Frontend: dense photo grid grouped by day with lazy-loaded thumbnails,
IntersectionObserver infinite scroll, multi-select with batch
download/delete, and a full-screen lightbox with prev/next navigation,
EXIF metadata display, and download/favorite/delete toolbar.
Includes navigation wiring, CSS (with dark theme), and i18n translations
for all 9 locales.
- 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
Replace String with Arc<str> for fields that contain repeated static
values (mime_type, icon_class, icon_special_class, category) in
FileDto, FolderDto, and OptimizedFileContent.
These fields are computed from ~40 static lookup tables and cloned
on every request. With Arc<str>, clone becomes O(1) atomic increment
instead of O(n) heap allocation — saving thousands of allocations/s
under load.
Fields kept as String: id, name, path, folder_id, owner_id
(unique per item, rarely cloned).
Zero API impact — serde serializes Arc<str> identically to String.

Replace the double-query pattern (get_folder_by_path + get_file_by_path)
across PROPFIND, HEAD, DELETE, MOVE, and COPY handlers with a single
UNION ALL query via PathResolverService.
PG Append node short-circuits on LIMIT 1: if the folder branch matches,
the file branch is never executed. Cuts WebDAV path resolution from
2 round-trips to 1 per request.
Also adds an exists() method using EXISTS subqueries for the Overwrite
header checks in MOVE/COPY (avoids constructing full DTOs).
Legacy double-query fallback retained when PathResolver is unavailable.
