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.

/api/search now finds files by CONTENT as well as by name: BM25-ranked
matches over extracted text (PDF, Office OOXML/ODF, plain text/code)
with typo-tolerant fuzzy terms and search-as-you-type prefix matching,
served from an embedded Tantivy index at {storage}/.search-index.
Pipeline (all off the request path, mirroring tree-etag + thumbnails):
- statement triggers on storage.files append to a durable dirty queue
(storage.search_index_dirty) - every write surface (REST, WebDAV,
NextCloud, WOPI, trash) is covered, crash-safe by construction
- ContentIndexWorker drains the queue on the maintenance pool, extracts
text once per unique BLAKE3 blob (storage.blob_extracted_text cache:
N copies = 1 extraction, renames/moves = 0 re-extraction) and applies
batched single-writer Tantivy commits; queue rows are deleted only
after the commit succeeds (at-least-once, idempotent upserts)
- the index is a derived artifact: a version-marker mismatch wipes and
reseeds it from Postgres, which remains the single source of truth
SearchService merges content hits into the existing name search: hits
are hydrated through ONE SQL round-trip that re-applies user scope,
trash state and every active filter (a stale index id can never leak),
scored below name matches, and returned with a plain-text snippet and
a match_source field. Index failure or
OXICLOUD_ENABLE_CONTENT_SEARCH=false degrades to name-only search; a
discard-only janitor keeps the trigger-fed queue bounded while disabled.
The frontend renders the snippet under the file name in list view.
New dependencies: tantivy 0.26, zip 8.6 (deflate only), pdf-extract 0.10.

Three targeted frontend fixes:
1. pdf.js smart preload (thumbnail.js, resourceIcon.js). The first PDF
thumbnail of a session stalled 1-2s on the lazy import of the ~1.3 MB
pdf.js stack. buildResourceIcon() now fires thumbnail.preloadPdf()
the moment a PDF row enters the DOM, warming both the module
(~300 KB, via the now promise-memoized getPdfjsLib, shared with real
users) and the worker script (~1 MB, via a cache-priming fetch —
pdf.js only requests it on first getDocument). Only folders that
actually contain PDFs pay the download; idempotent after first call,
resets on failure so transient offline retries.
2. Admin migration poll cleanup (admin.js). The 2s setInterval kept
hitting the API and updating hidden DOM after leaving the Storage
tab, and polled a failing endpoint forever after session expiry
(!resp.ok returned without clearing). New stopMigrationPolling()
helper, invoked on tab switch away from Storage, on non-running
status, and on failed polls; tab re-entry re-arms via loadStorage().
3. resourceList.js render hoisting. Per-row i18n.t() type-cell lookups
and the fully item-invariant _renderCustomActions() HTML were
recomputed for every row; they now resolve once per batch via
_buildItemLabels() (per-category labels memoized, rebuilt each
batch so locale switches keep working). _findLaneByKey() swaps the
container-wide attribute querySelector for an O(1) _lanes Map kept
in sync at the only lane create/wipe sites.

_bindItemEvents attached direct click listeners to the favorite star,
the shared badge and every custom action button of every row — ~3+
listeners per row on top of the container delegation the component
already wires, i.e. ~10-15k listeners with a few thousand rows loaded
via load-more, plus the per-row binding cost on every render.
The container's delegated click handler already dispatches by
closest() checks; move the three button behaviours there (they return
before the card-open branch, preserving the old stopPropagation
semantics) and drop _bindItemEvents entirely. Row creation is now
pure innerHTML — no listener allocation per row.

issue: on folder creation view was wiped and displaying only the new folder
fix: add a "new" swimlane if in group mode and scroll up to the new created folder
