Add phone album sync to the Android client: MediaStore source (device
albums), a Room index with upload provenance, on-device previews, and a
mixed server + device album list where a linked pair collapses into a
single device card with a link indicator and mode label.
Three modes over one pipeline: A (off), B (upload copies, originals stay
local), C (upload originals and offload them locally to previews). The
sync engine tracks device changes (add/remove/rename/move/content), matches
assets to server photos by sha256 content hash, deletes only this client's
uploads, and reflects server changes without touching local originals.
Offload is automatic; the zoomed viewer pulls the server original.
Backend: expose the original content checksum in photo data (Postgres and
SQLite), additive with no migration.
Also anchor the `.gitignore` `data/` rule to `/data/` so the Android
`com.galo.android.data` package is tracked, and add the halo launcher icon.
Add video as a media kind in photos: streaming upload with per-kind
limits, ffprobe metadata, poster frame reusing the image variant
pipeline, and a playback object (remux when web-compatible, else
h264/yuv420p/aac transcode). Video jobs run on a separate pool with a
long lease. Frontend gains a video viewer, grid badge/duration and
video upload.
Large albums opened slowly and flickered; the default album cover was
also lost in the media-objects refactor.
Large-album loading:
- quantize signed object URLs within a window and send Cache-Control so
previews are reused instead of re-fetched
- publish photo.updated (not photo.created) when variants are ready, so
clients update in place without reordering the grid
- worker concurrency + newest-first variant priority; raise default batch
Album cover:
- first uploaded photo becomes the cover when none is set
- clear the cover when the cover photo is trashed or moved out
- "set as album cover" in the photo context menu and actions panel
OpenSpec changes: fix-large-album-load, fix-album-cover
- rename Go module, binary, systemd unit, PG_DATABASE default, frontend package and docs from shared-album to galo
- add theme-aware halo emblem and favicon (new ui-branding capability)
- add make build-release (versioned, stripped, static binary) and run the binary from the repo root
- app_settings table (PostgreSQL migration 000010, SQLite 000002)
- internal/settings repository (Get/Set/Ensure) wired into store.Repos
- secret generated with crypto/rand on first start and persisted; reused on restart
- drop required JWT_SECRET from env/config; app.New takes a TokenManager and
storage.Open takes the resolved secret (URL_SECRET still overrides)
- docs updated
