Thumbnails are now generated eagerly as lossy WebP (the primary codec) and
served to clients that advertise `Accept: image/webp`; JPEG is kept as a lazy
fallback for older clients and NextCloud, generated on first request and then
cached like WebP.
- ThumbnailFormat{Webp,Jpeg} enum threaded through encode/render/generate, the
on-disk path ({hash}.webp / {hash}.jpg), the moka cache key
(file_id, size, format), and cleanup (both formats removed).
- file_handler: parse Accept -> format, format-keyed ETag, `Vary: Accept` on
every response (incl. 304) so shared caches never serve the wrong codec;
Content-Type is byte-sniffed (infer) so it always matches the bytes.
- preview_handler (NextCloud) pins JPEG.
- webp = "0.3" (vendored libwebp via cc, no system dependency).
WEBP_QUALITY=82, chosen via a quality sweep (bench Table E1): SSIM within
~0.005 of JPEG q80 (imperceptible at thumbnail scale) for ~62% fewer bytes. On
the photo-realistic bench corpus the full set (3 sizes x 3 photos) drops 65.6%
(213->73 KB); real photos with edges/text land nearer ~25-40%. Encode is +5ms,
paid once in the eager background generator (off the request path).
The bench corpus is now photo-realistic (per-channel sums of low-frequency
sinusoids) instead of white noise, which had distorted codec byte ratios.
Methodology + numbers in benches/WEBP.md.

Thumbnails are now keyed by blob_hash on disk so identical files share
a single set of thumbnails (icon/preview/large). For 4000 duplicate
files with the same content, this reduces thumbnail storage from 12,000
files to just 3.
Changes:
- get_thumbnail_path() keys by blob_hash instead of file_id
- get_thumbnail(), get_cached_thumbnail(), generate_all_sizes_background()
accept blob_hash parameter for disk dedup
- generate_all_sizes_background() fast path: if blob-hash thumbnails
already exist on disk, skip image processing entirely and just
populate moka cache for the new file_id
- delete_thumbnails() only invalidates moka cache (shared disk
thumbnails must not be deleted when one file is removed)
- delete_blob_thumbnails() added for GC; garbage_collect() now cleans
up orphaned thumbnail files alongside blob files
- External thumbnails (video frames) stored as ext-{file_id}.jpg
since they are client-generated and not dedup-able
- ThumbnailPort trait updated with blob_hash parameters
- All handler call sites updated (file_handler, preview_handler)
- Tests updated for new signatures
Resolves conflict between main and PR #229 by applying timeout support
on top of main's drop(data) memory optimization. Changes:
- Add thumbnail_generation_ms to TimeoutConfig (default 30s)
- Add generation_timeout field to ThumbnailService
- Wrap spawn_blocking in tokio::time::timeout to prevent hanging
- Update DI to pass timeout from config
- Update tests to provide timeout parameter

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.
- 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
Since the blob storage migration (3c7c16f), thumbnail generation failed
with "No such file or directory" because the handler constructed logical
file paths that don't exist on disk. Resolve the actual blob path via
get_blob_hash() + dedup_service.blob_path() in both upload and get
thumbnail handlers. Add regression tests.
