Docker Build and Publish / build-and-push (push) Failing after 10s
Media in the post modal used w-full/h-auto, so a portrait video or image grew
taller than the screen (a 720x1280 reel rendered 768x1365 in a 786px viewport)
and forced the modal to scroll. Full view now caps height to the viewport minus
the modal's own padding. Video sizes to its own aspect within the cap so a
portrait clip isn't letterboxed edge to edge; images keep filling the modal
width and only gain a height ceiling.
Opening the modal or a story reel is a user gesture, so playback now starts
unmuted and only falls back to muted if the browser actually refuses the
play() promise — previously it always started muted, and the earlier
muted-by-default fix meant a blocked video could stall the story progress bar.

Security
- Fix path traversal in GET /api/archives/:name/files. Express decodes route
params after segment matching, so `..%2f..%2fetc` escaped ARCHIVES_DIR and
returned a recursive listing of arbitrary directories.
- Add CSP and baseline security headers; disable x-powered-by.
- Stop baking GEMINI_API_KEY into the client bundle (the SDK was unused).
- Run the container as `node` instead of root.
Performance
- Add a directory-mtime-keyed archive index, warmed in the background and
persisted. Listing 110k files went from ~52s to ~0.1s; the largest archive
(24k files) serves in ~0.3s. Per-file stat over CIFS costs ~1.4ms and does
not parallelise, so it is now done once rather than per request.
- Build media URLs from the File directly instead of
`new Blob([await file.arrayBuffer()])`, which read every media file fully
into memory (a 20GB archive tried to become 20GB of resident blobs).
- Track and revoke object URLs; previously none were ever revoked.
- Give `requestThumbnail` a stable identity so a completed thumbnail stops
re-running the effect in every mounted thumbnail.
- Namespace IndexedDB keys so listing archives no longer deserializes every
cached thumbnail blob, and thumbnails no longer collide across archives.
- Serve real file sizes: RemoteArchiveFile was constructed with size 0, which
silently disabled high-res thumbnailing for every server archive.
Correctness
- Local archives cached media as blob: URLs, which die with the document, so
a cached local archive restored as an archive of broken images. Media now
carries a stable path and is rehydrated from a persisted directory handle
(File System Access API), falling back to re-prompting for the folder.
- Fix permalinks: the URL-writing effect erased ?a= on mount before the
archive list arrived to consume it, so deep links never resolved.
- Make cache invalidation detect nested changes via a directory signature.
- Add an error boundary and tolerate unparseable dates, which previously
threw a RangeError and blanked the app.
- Default video to muted so autoplay is not blocked by Safari/Firefox.
Features
- Fold sidecar directories into their base profile: `<user> - reels`,
`story - <user>` and `story highlights - <user> - <title>` now appear as
reels, the story ring and Instagram-style highlight circles rather than as
separate archives.
Housekeeping
- Add @types/react; React was previously type-checked against its JavaScript
source, so `npm run lint` gave almost no type safety on components.
- Vendor fonts and PWA icons locally; the app made third-party CDN requests
despite advertising offline support and local-only processing.
- Drop unused better-sqlite3 (a native module that broke `npm install`).
- Add vitest with 36 tests over the filename and directory-naming rules.

Key changes:
- Enabled full metadata caching for local folder archives, allowing them to load instantly from IndexedDB without re-uploading.
- Implemented oldest-image fallback for profiles missing an explicit profile picture.
- Restored folder-name-to-username detection for local archive uploads.
- Optimized scan indexing to track all image files for fallback use.
Key changes:
- Corrected logic in PostThumbnail to prevent blur effects on images smaller than 1MiB.
- Restored the white glass aesthetic to the scanning dashboard with improved contrast and transparency.
- Optimized scanning background transitions to ensure a smooth, flicker-free crossfade.
Key changes:
- Added Web Worker for background image thumbnailing with a 1MiB threshold to optimize CPU/memory usage.
- Implemented a serial task queue for memory-safe high-res image processing, preventing OOM crashes.
- Added inter-post preloading in the modal for seamless 'Previous/Next' navigation.
- Refined scanning UI with double-buffering and a dark background to completely eliminate white flashes.
- Renamed project to 'instaarchive-viewer' in package.json.
- Fixed 'Open image in new tab' by denylisting /archives and /api in PWA config.
Summary of changes:
- Extracted archive scanning logic into a modular 'useArchiveScanner' hook for better maintainability and performance.
- Refined PostModal carousel with intelligent media preloading and smoother, jitter-free transitions.
- Optimized image rendering with 'decoding=async' and removed 'black flashes' between slide changes.
- Updated PWA configuration to 'autoUpdate' with hourly periodic checks for fresh content.
- Fixed several bugs including stories sorting, permalink parameter cleanup, and profile metadata cache restoration.
- Comprehensive updates to documentation (README.md and GEMINI.md) reflecting the new architecture.
