- profiles get an optional birthday (MM-DD); photos of that person taken on the
date are also copied into Birthdays/<person>/<year>/
- app-wide anniversaries (label + MM-DD); any photo taken on the date is copied
into Anniversaries/<label>/<year>/ (including faceless photos and videos)
- copy (not move) so normal person/date sorting is preserved
- CaptureDate gains day; new collection path builder; scanner skips the new folders
- UI: birthday input in profile create/edit + new Anniversaries manager

- darkroom-style fullscreen viewer: left info panel, rating/color-label toolbar,
bottom filmstrip, keyboard nav (Esc / arrows), placeholder on load failure
- thumbnail density slider (contact-sheet) + photo mosaic generator (target -> tiles)
- lighttable-style hover info preview (no click needed)
- map drag & drop geotagging (saved to index only; originals untouched)
- file explorer: parallel drive scan + timeout, create/delete(trash)/move folders;
index reparent on move and cleanup on delete (single source of truth)
- library: photos-before-videos ordering; drag range select/deselect;
native image drag disabled so sweep-select works
- responsive sidebar font scaling; no-wrap filter labels; media protocol CORS + video Range

UI overhaul to a darktable tone-and-manner and a set of features adapted from
darktable's proven patterns (reimplemented in our Electron/TS stack; no GPL code).
Design reskin:
- Dark neutral-gray palette + amber accent, flat/squared corners, no card shadows,
compact darktable-style top bar (logo + pipe-separated view tabs), denser 15px base
- Done via design tokens (Tailwind slate/brand/radius/shadow remap) — minimal churn
Metadata & collections (Phase A/B):
- exifr now captures GPS + camera; asset table ALTER-migrated (gpsLat/gpsLon/camera,
metaVersion backfill on re-index)
- Collection facet bar (year timeline / camera / color-label) filters the grid
Map & relation finder (Phase C):
- Leaflet + online OSM map tab; geotagged photos as markers
- relationService: related photos by place (GPS<1km) + time (+/-2d) + CLIP similarity
Easy mode (Phase D):
- easyMode setting (menu / onboarding); scales the whole UI (rem) + bigger thumbnails
+ large icon nav with plain labels (4050 accessibility)
Library usability:
- Video thumbnails (representative frame capture in the inference worker)
- Media filter (All / Photos / Videos) to separate them
- Clearer culling labels ("Good shots" / "To cull") + explanation tooltip
- Multi-select tiles -> Export selected to a folder (copy, best-cut extraction) and
Delete to Recycle Bin (shell.trashItem) behind a confirm dialog
- ONNX Runtime wasm bundled locally (offline) via copy-ort-wasm + asarUnpack
Docs: DARKTABLE_REVIEW (feasibility + roadmap A->D). All typecheck/tests/build green;
boot smoke verified each phase.

Builds the "indexed library" foundation and first intelligent features on
top of the organizer (sql.js index, non-destructive in-place indexing).
Phase 0 — Library index:
- sql.js (WASM SQLite) index DB; contentHash-keyed assets, resumable indexing
(skip by path+mtime), batch persistence (chosen over native better-sqlite3
which fails to build on Node 24 / Python 3.12)
- Library folders (in place, non-destructive) + background indexer w/ progress
- Thumbnails generated in the AI worker (canvas->webp), cached in userData;
served via photoai-media://thumb by hash; thumbnail grid w/ pagination
Phase 1 — AI quality assessment & culling:
- Focus (Laplacian variance), exposure (histogram), eyes-open (face-api EAR)
computed in one analyze pass alongside the thumbnail
- Culling filters (candidate/rejected) + quality badges
- Adjustable thresholds (live SQL re-classification from stored raw scores,
no re-analysis) + manual star rating (0-5) and color labels (usermeta)
Phase 2 — CLIP natural-language / similarity search:
- @huggingface/transformers (WASM/WebGPU, no native build)
- CLIP image/text embeddings (lazy-loaded); Korean queries auto-translated
via opus-mt-ko-en into the English CLIP
- Embeddings stored as SQLite BLOBs; "build search index" batch w/ progress;
brute-force cosine search; new Search tab
- Note: models download from HF Hub on first use; fully-offline ORT-wasm
packaging and KO search-accuracy tuning are follow-ups
Tabs added (Organize / Library / Search). All typecheck/tests(12)/build green;
boot smoke verified across phases.

Feature work on top of the initial organizer:
- Videos: .mp4/.mov/.avi/.mkv/.webm/.m4v sorted into output/Movie/YYYY/MM
- Profiles: reference-image thumbnail cards via a secure photoai-media:// protocol
(serves only registered reference images); per-thumbnail delete; add via
click, drag & drop, or paste (Ctrl+V) using webUtils.getPathForFile + a
byte-based addReferenceData path for clipboard images
- Presets: local person library (max 5) saved to userData; one-click apply into
active profiles; reusing stored descriptors (no recompute)
- Theme: dark/light with dark default (Tailwind class strategy)
- i18n: ko/en table-based localization; first-run onboarding to pick
language + theme; English-neutral "Unsorted" folder (was [미정])
- App menu: File/Edit/View/Window/Help, localized; Help opens a detailed,
theme-aware user guide window
- UI: History block scrolls internally (no whole-window scroll);
threshold/concurrency tooltips; generic example name
- Settings persisted to userData/settings.json; menu + renderer kept in sync
- Docs: NextGen Photo AI feasibility review + Phase 0/1 roadmap
All typecheck/tests (12) /build green; boot smoke verified.
