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.

/api/search now finds files by CONTENT as well as by name: BM25-ranked
matches over extracted text (PDF, Office OOXML/ODF, plain text/code)
with typo-tolerant fuzzy terms and search-as-you-type prefix matching,
served from an embedded Tantivy index at {storage}/.search-index.
Pipeline (all off the request path, mirroring tree-etag + thumbnails):
- statement triggers on storage.files append to a durable dirty queue
(storage.search_index_dirty) - every write surface (REST, WebDAV,
NextCloud, WOPI, trash) is covered, crash-safe by construction
- ContentIndexWorker drains the queue on the maintenance pool, extracts
text once per unique BLAKE3 blob (storage.blob_extracted_text cache:
N copies = 1 extraction, renames/moves = 0 re-extraction) and applies
batched single-writer Tantivy commits; queue rows are deleted only
after the commit succeeds (at-least-once, idempotent upserts)
- the index is a derived artifact: a version-marker mismatch wipes and
reseeds it from Postgres, which remains the single source of truth
SearchService merges content hits into the existing name search: hits
are hydrated through ONE SQL round-trip that re-applies user scope,
trash state and every active filter (a stale index id can never leak),
scored below name matches, and returned with a plain-text snippet and
a match_source field. Index failure or
OXICLOUD_ENABLE_CONTENT_SEARCH=false degrades to name-only search; a
discard-only janitor keeps the trigger-fed queue bounded while disabled.
The frontend renders the snippet under the file name in list view.
New dependencies: tantivy 0.26, zip 8.6 (deflate only), pdf-extract 0.10.

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
