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.

- On mobile (≤768px), replace the full search bar in the topbar with a
search icon button; tapping it expands a full-width search overlay
with a back arrow to collapse (Google Drive-style pattern)
- Escape key also collapses the mobile search overlay
- Hide the redundant inline search icon when the mobile search bar is
active (submit button already has one)
- Move the language selector from the topbar into the user menu for all
screen sizes, reducing topbar clutter; it renders as an accordion row
matching other menu items
- Fix user menu positioning in RTL layouts (Arabic/Persian): anchor to
left:0 instead of right:0 so the panel opens inward rather than
off-screen
- protect file_management_service::rename_file with validate_storage_name
- remove specific rename modal and use the generic modal class (less duplicate)
- handle errors on modal action: do not close the modal on error and display this error
- hide "Go to parent folder" contextMenu if section is files and folder is the same as current one
this change replace original window.fetch by a wrapper that check any 401 response, is so it will request a refresh token
this solve current issue with Favorites & Recent sections that give blank page when token is expired
- exclusion of requests to other domain (401 will not be handled here)
- security with shares /api/s is not handled
- check with CSRF, no risk
- change worker: do not cache html pages (not necessary)
- remove use of window.XXX and maximize import/export,
this will provide more clarety,
show circular dependencies + you will benefit IDE help
* permits multiple drag & drop
* synchronize grid & list view on selection
* permits copy during ddrag & drop (use sift/alt key according your OS)
* use batch move / copy on drag & drop
The trash nav handler manually set view flags instead of calling
setCurrentSection('trash'), which meant the photos container was
never hidden when switching to trash. Use the central view-switching
function so all other views (photos, shared) are properly cleaned up.

Add column-gap to list header/items, prevent rubber-band selection from
swallowing clicks on list headers and file items, preserve rubber-band
selection after mouseup, and extract type aliases to resolve clippy
type_complexity warnings.
Backend: new GET /api/photos endpoint with cursor-based pagination that
queries image/video files sorted by EXIF captured_at (falling back to
created_at), joining file_metadata for sort dates.
Frontend: dense photo grid grouped by day with lazy-loaded thumbnails,
IntersectionObserver infinite scroll, multi-select with batch
download/delete, and a full-screen lightbox with prev/next navigation,
EXIF metadata display, and download/favorite/delete toolbar.
Includes navigation wiring, CSS (with dark theme), and i18n translations
for all 9 locales.
