Three things the 12,445-photo library showed that the tests did not.
A Pixel raw capture is two files named after the role each plays —
`PXL_….RAW-01.COVER.jpg` and `PXL_….RAW-02.ORIGINAL.dng` — so their stems differ
and the pairing rule never saw one shot. The marker is now cut off before names
are compared, narrowly: digits, then one role word, so an ordinary name that
happens to contain `.raw-` keeps its stem. Fed the real library's first 40 rows
through the grouping, they collapse to 21 tiles.
A raw that has a JPEG beside it is now painted with that JPEG's thumbnail, which
the server usually already holds. The Raw tab costs no raw download and no raw
decode for those tiles. Raws are found in one batched read, so an ordinary page
pays nothing for the lookup.
Photos could not be moved to Trash at all: they live on the photo volume, which
the mount never holds, so no `nodes` row exists, every authority answered
`Unknown`, and the write check refused the whole library with "trash access: not
allowed". Membership of our own timeline is the authority that does exist for a
photo, and it now answers. An album photo on someone else's volume still fails
closed.
Refreshing the gallery then reported `io: Resource temporarily unavailable (os
error 11)` (B92). The daemon held the control reply until the whole timeline had
been re-read — 63 batches of 200 nodes for this library, minutes of work against
a 120 s read bound. The daemon now answers as soon as the refresh is running,
`PhotosRefreshStatus` reports when it is done, and both front ends follow it: the
gallery reloads the page when it clears, and `pdfs refresh photos` blocks so the
command still means what it says. Each refresh logs its photo count, batch count
and duration.
Released as 1.11.0.
A supervisor thread ticks every 15 s and does three things: it WARNs
about a worker that has held one job for two minutes, a control request
that never returned, or a lane that has not completed anything while its
queue is non-empty; it samples resident size and the pending-op count
into the log every five minutes; and it answers the systemd watchdog.
The watchdog ping is deliberately not a heartbeat from a thread that
does nothing else — that would keep the unit "healthy" through exactly
the hang it is meant to catch. It goes out only after a real round trip
over the control socket, so it means "a client can still talk to this
daemon", which is the property that failed on 2026-09-18.
`sd_notify` is spoken directly rather than through libsystemd (READY,
WATCHDOG, STOPPING), including the abstract-namespace address; off
systemd every call is a no-op.
The unit gains `NotifyAccess=all` (rather than `Type=notify`, which
would fail the unit on the start timeout when no login is stored yet),
`WatchdogSec=120`, `Restart=always` — a hang is not a failing exit code
— and `MemoryHigh`/`MemoryMax` as a backstop against the 5.2 G growth
the hung run showed.
Remove the local proton-sdk path patch so the workspace builds from published crates, and document Fedora 44 build/runtime plus a local RPM spec.
