- Add Modal.confirmDialog() (Promise<boolean>, built on openPanel so it
inherits the overlay, animation, focus-trap and Escape handling) and use
it to replace native confirm() in the photos batch-delete and lightbox
single-delete flows.
- The lightbox now reflects the real favorite state when an item opens
(previously the star always started empty) and toggles favorites through
the favorites module so its cache stays in sync.
- Add photos.delete_* i18n keys (English; other locales fall back to en).

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.
