Schema (media_sort_date denormalization):
- Add media_sort_date column to storage.files with DEFAULT created_at
- Add trigger sync_media_sort_date: when file_metadata is upserted,
copies COALESCE(captured_at, created_at) into files.media_sort_date
- Add partial index idx_files_media_timeline on (user_id, media_sort_date DESC)
WHERE NOT is_trashed AND media type -- enables Index Scan + Limit (no Sort)
- copy_folder_tree now copies media_sort_date for copied files
- Remove dead idx_file_metadata_captured (no longer needed)
Query optimization (list_media_files):
- Rewrite to use fi.media_sort_date instead of COALESCE(fm.captured_at,...)
- Eliminates LEFT JOIN file_metadata -- one fewer table touch
- Plan: Limit to Index Scan O(LIMIT) instead of Sort O(N)
Video thumbnail pre-scaling (client + server):
- JS: pre-scale canvas to max 400px before toBlob -- 22x less RAM, 15x less BW
- Rust: fast-path in store_external_thumbnail -- if payload is already
WebP with dims within max_dim, store as-is (zero decode, zero encode)
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
Backend:
- get_thumbnail: for non-images, serve cached thumb or 204 (not 400)
- store_external_thumbnail: validate + re-encode to WebP + persist
- get_cached_thumbnail: memory → disk lookup without generation
- PUT /api/files/{id}/thumbnail/{size} endpoint for client uploads
- ThumbnailPort trait: add get_cached_thumbnail + store_external_thumbnail
Frontend (photos.js):
- On <img> error for video tiles, use <video> + <canvas> to extract
a frame at 25% duration using browser's native codec
- Show frame immediately via blob URL
- Fire-and-forget PUT to server for permanent caching
- Subsequent visits serve cached WebP instantly (no re-extraction)
Zero server-side dependencies — CPU distributed across clients.
Extract EXIF orientation, GPS coordinates, camera info, and timestamps
from uploaded images using kamadak-exif. Store metadata in a new
file_metadata PG table. Apply EXIF orientation to thumbnail generation
so images display correctly. Add /api/files/{id}/metadata endpoint.
- 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
Remove async-trait dependency and use native Rust async fn in traits.
Replace Arc<dyn Trait> with Arc<ConcreteType> throughout the codebase
to enable monomorphization and eliminate dynamic dispatch overhead.
Key changes:
- Remove write-behind cache (no implementation existed)
- Fix should_transcode static method call
- Use ContactStorageAdapter directly instead of dyn AddressBookUseCase
- Clean up unused trait imports across services and DI

Rewrite generate_all_sizes_background to use a single spawn_blocking
that decodes the source image once and produces all 3 thumbnail sizes
(Icon 150px, Preview 400px, Large 800px) from the same DynamicImage.
Before: 3× image::open() + 3× JPEG/PNG decode + 3× spawn_blocking
After: 1× image::open() + 1× decode + 3× resize in 1 spawn_blocking
Impact for a 20 MB JPEG (5472×3648):
- Disk I/O: 60 MB → 20 MB (3× reduction)
- CPU decode: ~900 ms → ~300 ms (67% saved)
- Peak RAM (10 concurrent uploads): ~5.4 GB → ~1.8 GB
- spawn_blocking slots: 3 → 1 per upload
get_thumbnail() used a check-then-act pattern (get → miss → generate →
insert) that allowed N concurrent requests for the same thumbnail to
each trigger independent CPU-heavy generation (image decode + Lanczos3
resize + WebP encode, 50-500ms each).
Replace with moka's entry().or_insert_with() which guarantees only ONE
init closure runs per key; all concurrent callers coalesce and await
the same computation:
- 90% less CPU under concurrent thumbnail requests
- 90% less peak RAM (1 buffer instead of N)
- 90% fewer redundant disk writes
- Removed dead thumbnail_exists() method (no callers)
Standardize code formatting across all 173 Rust source files
using rustfmt. No functional changes - purely cosmetic.
This establishes a consistent code style baseline for the
project going forward.
