Three defects in the same pipeline, each of which loses a photo or misrepresents one. 1. A transient error destroyed the guest's only copy. `process`'s error arm unconditionally `remove_file`d the original. Every failure routed there: `create_dir_all`, both derivative `save_with_format` calls (disk full is the canonical case, and it arrives exactly when many guests upload at once), a panic inside the image codec, or a momentary DB-pool exhaustion. The row is only SOFT-deleted, so the bytes were the sole unrecoverable part — and they were the part we deleted. The author already knew this was wrong next door: `backfill_missing_display` says it "must NEVER soft-delete an upload that already has a working preview". Retry up to 3 times with backoff (re-checking the e2e generation guard after each sleep), and on final failure keep the refund + soft-delete but leave the original on disk, logging its path. A failed upload is now recoverable instead of gone. 2. Every portrait photo was stored sideways. Phones don't rotate sensor data — they record the camera orientation in EXIF and store the pixels as shot. `decode()` returns those raw pixels and the JPEG re-encode writes no EXIF, so the 800px preview, the 2048px diashow display and the keepsake were all rotated 90°, while "Original anzeigen" rendered upright because the original keeps its tag. That asymmetry is why it reads as a viewer bug. There was no EXIF handling anywhere in the repo and no exif crate. Read the tag via `into_decoder()` (which carries the decode Limits through, so the decompression-bomb cap is untouched) and apply it. Missing/malformed tags fall back to NoTransforms — most images have none. Existing derivatives are already baked wrong, so migration 018 adds `derivatives_rev` and `backfill_missing_display` becomes `backfill_stale_derivatives`: it now also picks up anything below the current rev and regenerates it once from the original, which still carries its EXIF. Videos are marked current in the migration — ffmpeg already honours the rotation matrix. Bump DERIVATIVES_REV for any future change that invalidates derivatives. 3. A rejected upload vanished without a word. `UploadQueue.svelte` — 162 lines holding the ONLY renderer of an item's error text, the only "Erneut" retry button and the only rate-limit countdown — was never imported anywhere, so `retryItem`, `removeItem` and `clearCompleted` were unreachable at runtime. On a terminal rejection the store purged the blob and wrote a clear German reason into `entry.error` "so the UI shows a clear reason". There was no such UI. And `uploadBadgeCount` counted only pending/uploading, so the badge decremented exactly as if the upload had succeeded. Mount the queue on /upload, toast the reason immediately (the flow sends the user to /feed straight after staging, so the list alone would still miss them), and count blocked/error in the badge so a failure can't read as success. Tests: 02-upload/exif-orientation uploads a 40x20 fixture tagged Orientation=6 and asserts both derivatives come back PORTRAIT, with a sanity check that the source really is stored landscape. 02-upload/rejection-visible bans the uploader between staging and sending, then asserts the toast, the queue row with the server's reason, and that the item is still counted. Note: 02-upload/quota's 4 failures are pre-existing and unrelated — see the next commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
lib/ conventions
Short rules. The patterns we already follow as of v0.16 — write new code that fits.
One store per cross-cutting concern. A single *-store.ts file owns each one:
auth.ts— JWT / PIN inlocalStorage,isAuthenticatedwritableui-store.ts— bottom-nav visibility, upload-sheet open state, FAB badge countdata-mode-store.ts— Saver vs Original media-loading preferenceprivacy-note-store.ts— admin-configured Datenschutzhinweis textquota-store.ts— live per-user storage snapshotupload-queue.ts— IndexedDB-persisted upload queue + processing state
Don't import these into other stores unless strictly necessary; let pages compose them.
DTOs mirror Rust types. All TS interfaces live in types.ts. Each one carries a
// mirrors backend/src/path::TypeName comment so the two stay searchable. If you add
a Rust DTO, add the TS twin in the same PR.
Gestures via Svelte actions in actions/. Long-press, double-tap, future swipe —
each is a use: action that fires a CustomEvent. Components stay free of gesture
plumbing.
Reusable bottom sheets via ContextSheet.svelte. Pass an actions: ContextAction[]
array. Any page that needs a long-press / kebab context menu uses the same primitive.
SSE relays are listed in sse.ts::KNOWN_EVENTS. New server event → add one entry
to that array, that's it.
Diashow transitions live in diashow/transitions/. Each is a Svelte component
plus one entry in transitions/index.ts. Adding a new animation is two-line work; no
diashow code needs to change.
No new global stores beyond the list above unless the new concept is genuinely app-wide. Page state belongs in the page.
