Solution A — Cache-first path:
- get_thumbnail now tries moka (RAM) → disk BEFORE any DB query
- Ownership was verified at creation time; UUIDv4 prevents enumeration
- 146-photo timeline: 0 SQL queries instead of 146 per page load
Solution C — ETag / If-None-Match short-circuit:
- Deterministic ETag 'thumb-{id}-{size}' on every response
- If browser sends matching If-None-Match → 304 with zero I/O
- Cache-Control: immutable prevents even conditional requests
Additional improvements:
- Remove moka TTL (was 600s); thumbnails are immutable, weight-only eviction
- generate_all_sizes_background populates moka after disk write;
first GET after upload served from RAM with zero disk I/O
- DB path only taken on cache miss for images needing generation
