fix(name duplicate): fixed via NFC normalisation
TL;DR:
fix duplicate filename via:
```
docker exec <container> migrate-nfc-filenames --dry-run # preview
docker exec <container> migrate-nfc-filenames # execute
```
== issue ==
Last week I uploaded Capture d'écran 2026-06-03 à 20.04.24.png from the web. It synced down to Nextcloud on my Mac. Two minutes later, the Web UI was showing the file twice.
Both rows had:
- the same name
- the same size
- the same content hash
So why two rows? Because to PostgreSQL, the names weren't the same.
Web upload (browser → Postgres):
"é" stored as 1 codepoint (U+00E9) bytes: c3 a9 ← NFC
NiextCloud client (macOS → Postgres):
"é" stored as 2 codepoints (e + U+0301) bytes: 65 cc 81 ← NFD
macOS's APFS keeps filenames in NFD (decomposed); browsers send NFC (composed). Visually é and é are identical. To WHERE name = $1 they're two different keys. Our UNIQUE index on (folder_id, name, user_id) never fired — and the row count quietly drifted every time a Mac user touched an accented
filename.
== The fix is two halves ==
1. No new duplicates — every name-receiving boundary (file upload, NC PUT, rename, MOVE, path lookup) now NFC-normalizes before touching the database. The storage invariant becomes "every stored name is NFC".
2. Clean up existing data — one-shot migrate-nfc-filenames binary walks storage.files, NFC-normalizes any non-NFC row, and resolves the collisions we've accumulated. Same-content duplicates go to trash (recoverable); different-content collisions get renamed with a .duplicate suffix.
== use of the clean up ==
example of use (do not forget to define env **DATABASE_URL**)
either
`cargo run --bin migrate-nfc-filenames -- --dry-run`
or
`cargo build --bin migrate-nfc-filenames`
`./target/debug/migrate-nfc-filenames --dry-run`
example:
```
% ./target/debug/migrate-nfc-filenames --dry-run
