 - **Non-Blocking GTK4 Desktop App**: Browse files, manage pins, configure options, and monitor active transfers through a modern, native GUI with a fully non-blocking asynchronous main loop.
 - **Shared Links & Invites**: Browse files shared with you by other users, and view/manage your own public shared links directly in the GUI.
 - **Local Backup (Computers)**: Sync and back up local directories (like Downloads, Documents, Pictures, etc.) directly to your Proton Drive account.
+- **Locations**: One page (and `pdfs locations`) listing every place Proton Drive occupies on this machine — the main mount plus each backed-up folder — with its mode, sync state, and whether it is read-only. Switching a folder between a full local copy and on-demand happens here.
 - **System Tray Integration**: Background indicator for status monitoring, quick actions, and fast sync controls.
 - **Unified Search Launcher (HUD)**: A resident Google Drive-style launcher (`pdfs-prompt`) that searches Proton Drive and local files together, ranks the best matches, tolerates abbreviations and typos, and is ideal for a system-wide hotkey.
 - **Secure Credential Storage**: Integrates with the system Secret Service (GNOME Keyring, KWallet, etc.) with smart in-memory credential caching to avoid UI thread blockages.
 - **Proton Photos Support**: Access your Proton Photos timeline, view thumbnails, and download backed-up media natively (available in the GUI as a navigation tab and via the CLI).
+- **File Version History**: Every revision Proton Drive still holds for a file, from the browser's details pane (**Versions**) or `pdfs versions list|restore|save|rm`. Restoring is server-side — no re-upload — and an old version can be written out to a local file without touching the live one.
+- **Photo Favourites**: Star a photo in the lightbox, filter the gallery to favourites, or use `pdfs favorite <uid>` / `pdfs photos --favorites`.
+- **Photo Albums**: Browse your albums — including the ones shared with you — from the Albums view of the Photos page, or with `pdfs albums` / `pdfs album <uid>`. Album contents open in the same gallery as the timeline.
 - **Human Verification (CAPTCHA) Recovery**: Detects sign-in gates (VPN/new IP challenges) and launches an embedded `WebKitWebView` dialog to safely complete the challenge, transparently retrying authentication with the earned token.
 - **Selective Sync (`.pdfsignore`)**: Keep build trees, dependency directories, and editor leftovers out of synced folders using gitignore-style rules.
 - **Data-Safe Offline Writes**: Durable scratch/staging files and a transactional pending queue preserve acknowledged writes across network failures and restarts.

+//! A persistent [`CacheRepository`] for the SDK's Drive entity cache.
+//!
+//! The SDK caches decrypted node metadata (name, size, parent, the share whose
+//! membership signs operations on it) so navigating a tree does not re-fetch and
+//! re-decrypt what it already resolved. That cache defaults to memory, which
+//! means every daemon restart pays for the whole walk again. This backs it with
+//! SQLite so it survives one.
+//!
+//! **Its own database file, not `cache.db`.** The daemon's `Db` is a single
+//! `Mutex<Connection>` shared by every FUSE thread and the control socket; SDK
+//! cache traffic is frequent, small, and entirely reconstructible, so putting it
+//! on that mutex would add contention to the daemon's hottest lock (and to a
+//! write-ahead log whose growth is already sensitive to how long that lock is
+//! held) for no durability benefit. A separate file also means no schema
+//! migration: this store can be deleted and rebuilt at any time.
+//!
+//! **What it holds.** Decrypted metadata, never key material — the SDK keeps
+//! node keys and hash keys in a separate in-memory secret cache that nothing
+//! here can reach. The same names and sizes are already persisted in `cache.db`
+//! (`nodes`), so this file widens no exposure that the state directory did not
+//! already have; `AppDirs::ensure` is what keeps that directory private.
+//!
+//! **Staleness.** A persisted cache outlives the process, so an entry can
+//! describe a node another client has since changed. The daemon's event loop is
+//! what closes that: it resumes from a persisted cursor and calls the SDK's
+//! `invalidate_caches_for_event` for every event it replays, including the ones
+//! that happened while the daemon was down. The one case that leaves no trail is
+//! a *seeded* cursor — a first-ever mount, or a cursor the daemon lost — where
+//! nothing says what changed, so the caller [`clear`](SdkCache::clear)s this
+//! store instead of trusting it.

+//! Proton Drive keeps every revision a client ever committed, and until now the

+//! `(sync-conflict)` fork overwrote could only be recovered from whatever the

+//! server re-points the file at an existing revision, so no content crosses the
+//! wire and nothing lands in the drain queue.
+//!
+//! Two things about the SDK surface leak into every method here:
+//!
+//! - **A restore is asynchronous.** The server answers 202 and swaps the active
+//!   revision in the background, so the daemon drops its cached content for the
+//!   file rather than trying to describe the new one. The next read repopulates
+//!   from whatever is live by then.
+//! - **The active revision cannot be deleted**, and the server — not this code —
+//!   is what enforces that. [`Core::delete_revision_for_uid`] refuses locally
+//!   too, so the user gets a sentence instead of an API code.

     FUSE-->>User: returns child inode metadata (attributes, TTL)
 ```
 
+### Access Classification and Enforcement
+
+Every `Entry` carries an `Access` (`Owner | Editor | Viewer | Unknown`), inherited from its parent at intern time rather than resolved per node — a child is always interned from its parent's listing, so one edge lookup answers it. A known share root takes its access from the persisted `share_access` table instead, which is also what makes the classification correct offline.
+
+Two rules decide the cases inheritance cannot:
+
+* **Not under a share, no role → `Owner` (fail open).** My Files and device folders are owned content; regressing this denies ordinary writes.
+* **Under a share with no usable role → `Viewer` (fail closed).** An unrecognised permission mask is never degraded into a guess.
+
+A node whose parent is not resident is the awkward case: a device folder's parent is the device root, which is never persisted as a node, so the whole subtree hydrates parentless. It resolves the way the persisted authority (`Db::effective_node_access`) does — a recorded share row above it wins, otherwise fail open on the mount's own volume and closed on a foreign one (`docs/BUGS.md` B79).
+
+Enforcement is three layers, and only the third closes B34:
+
+1. **Mode bits.** `attr()` returns `0o555`/`0o444` for a non-writable entry, and both mount paths set `MountOption::DefaultPermissions`, so the *kernel* refuses `open(O_WRONLY)`, `access(W_OK)` and namespace operations for any non-root process.
+2. **Handler gates.** `EACCES` in `create`/`mkdir`/`unlink`/`rmdir`/`rename` (parent-writable; both parents for a rename) and in `open`-for-write/`write`/`setattr`/`fallocate`. Covers root and stale attribute TTLs.
+3. **Queue guards.** `Core::require_uid_writable` admits a mutation only when the persisted authority *and* every live inode space agree the uid is writable. Nothing reaches `pending_op` otherwise, so the perpetual failing drain that B34 describes cannot occur even if a handler check is missed. The intersection is across mounts because a uid may be resident in more than one inode space.
+
+`EACCES`, not `EROFS`, for a read-only subtree inside a read-write mount: `EROFS` means "read-only filesystem" and misleads the heuristics in `cp`, `rsync` and `git`.
+
+### Local Locations
+
+`mount` is a presentation table: one row per local place this client occupies — the primary My Files session, and each device folder in mirror or on-demand mode. `sync_folder` remains the sync engine's own table (`sync_entry` is FK'd to it) and `MountKind::Device { sync_folder_id }` is the join. `Request::ListLocations` serves the table to `pdfs locations` and the GUI's Locations page.
+
+A mirror folder is a plain local directory with no FUSE session, so a row can legitimately describe a location that is not mounted — which is why the page is called *Locations* rather than *Mounts*. The primary mountpoint stays in `AppConfig`, with its `mount` row written at daemon start as a projection of it, so there are not two sources of truth for that path.

+## B79 — Every write in an on-demand device-folder mount fails EACCES
+
+**Status:** Fixed (verified live 2026-07-31, running in a locally rebuilt 1.2.1
+package since)
+**Found:** 2026-07-31, user on packaged 1.2.1: `touch ~/Documents/test` →
+`Permission denied`, while the same operation under `~/ProtonDrive` succeeds.
+**Where:** `crates/pdfs-fuse/src/state.rs`, `State::hydrate_access`
+
+Not a mode-bit problem — the mount root reads `drwxr-xr-x` and the kernel's
+`default_permissions` check passes. The denial comes from the queue guard:
+`serve_create` → `Core::require_uid_writable`, which **intersects the access
+every live inode space reports for that uid** (`lib.rs:721`) before anything
+reaches `pending_op`.
+
+The on-demand fork itself says `Owner`. The **primary** state says `Unknown`:
+
+- `Core::hydrate` (`lib.rs:1012`) loads *every* `nodes` row into the primary
+  state, including the subtrees that belong to on-demand device folders — they
+  are on the same volume, in the same table.
+- A device folder's `parent_uid` is the **device root**, which is never
+  persisted as a node. In this account's DB all six device-folder roots
+  (`Downloads`, `Pictures`, `Music`, `Documents`, `Videos`, `narl`) have
+  `parent_uid = <device root>` with no matching row, so pass 2 parks them at
+  `ORPHAN_INO`.
+- `hydrate_access` then hit its "parent is not resident" branch, which had no
+  answer and fell back to `Access::Unknown` — fail closed.
+- `Unknown` is not writable, so the intersection denies every create, mkdir,
+  write, rename, setattr and trash in every on-demand mount, permanently: those
+  entries are never re-interned in the primary state, so nothing recomputes them.
+
+`~/ProtonDrive` was unaffected because its nodes descend from `ROOT_INO`, which
+`ProtonFs::new` hardcodes to `Owner`.
+
+Two facts make this a *classification* bug rather than a policy one: the
+persisted authority `Db::effective_node_access` already answers `Owner` for
+exactly these uids (no `share_access` row covers them — the table holds only
+`virtual~sharedwithme` and one accepted share), and the design table in
+`mount-architecture.md` §2.2 says *not under a share, no role → Owner, fail
+open*. The in-memory path disagreed with both.
+
+**Fix:** the non-resident-parent branch now mirrors the persisted authority — a
+recorded `share_access` row above the node still wins, otherwise fail **open**
+to `Owner` on the mount's own volume and fail **closed** to `Unknown` on a
+foreign one (`State::is_own_volume`). Foreign-volume shared content keeps its
+fail-closed behavior, which is what B34 needs.
+
+**Second-order effect, also fixed by the same change:** `downgrade_known_shared_access`
+selects roots with `entry.access != Access::Owner`, so a `ScopeAccessLost` /
+`SharedWithMeUpdated` event would additionally have force-downgraded every
+device-folder tree to `Viewer` in memory.
+
+**Tests:** `state::tests::own_volume_nodes_without_a_resident_parent_stay_owned`,
+`foreign_volume_nodes_without_a_resident_parent_fail_closed`,
+`persisted_authority_outranks_the_own_volume_fail_open`. The first fails on the
+pre-fix branch with `left: Unknown, right: Owner`. The standing live guard is the
+`regression B79` acceptance case, which finds a mounted on-demand device folder
+through `pdfs locations --json` and writes into it (skipping when this machine
+has none).
+
+**Verified live (2026-07-31):** the packaged 1.2.1 daemon denies
+`touch ~/Documents/pdfs-b79-test`, `mkdir`, and `>` redirect while
+`~/ProtonDrive` accepts them; a local `--release` build of this fix accepts all
+three on the same account and DB, the write drains (`pending_op` back to 0, the
+new nodes carry real `G88km…` remote uids rather than local ones), and the
+daemon log has no `403`/EACCES. `~/ProtonDrive/Shared with me/` stayed
+`dr-xr-xr-x`, and the accepted editor-role share under it stayed writable — the
+foreign-volume fail-closed path is unchanged.
+
+**Side note for whoever runs this next:** stopping the daemon and touching a
+file in an on-demand *mountpoint* while it is unmounted leaves that file in the
+local directory, and `restore_ondemand_mounts` then refuses to mount over the
+non-empty dir (`WARN … local dir is not empty; refusing to mount over it`).
+Empty the directory and restart the unit.

+## B78 — Profile backup fails: Cannot create file at the root of a device
+
+**Status:** Fixed (verified live 2026-07-31). Same defect as **B68**, which was
+found first on the managed-live matrix; B68's second half — making backup health
+visible — is still open.
+**Found:** 2026-07-29, user reported `upload profile: proton api error NotEnoughPermissions (http 422): Cannot create file at the root of a device`
+
+The background task that backs up the machine's profile (sync folder mappings, pins, cache budget) currently attempts to write `profile.json` directly to the device root node (`device.root_uid`) on the Drive backend. The Proton Drive API has started enforcing a restriction that files cannot be created directly at the root of a device; they must be placed inside a folder.
+
+**Consequence:** The upload is rejected with HTTP 422. The daemon retries when changes happen but the profile is never successfully backed up. Local changes (pinning, adding a sync folder) still take effect locally, but they will not be restorable on a new machine.
+
+**Fix applied (matches the original `RECOVERY.md` spec):** the profile now lives
+in a `.proton-drive-linux` folder inside the device root.
+
+- `pdfs_core::profile::PROFILE_DIR_NAME` — the new constant, next to
+  `PROFILE_FILE_NAME`.
+- `profile.rs:ensure_profile_dir` — reuses the folder by name via the existing
+  `find_device_child_folder`, creating it on the first save. Reuse-by-identity
+  matters: a second folder of the same name would split the record in two with
+  nothing to say which is current.
+- `profile.rs:save_profile` — both upload branches (new file, new revision) now
+  address the folder, never the device root.
+- `profile.rs:load_profile` — reads the folder first, then falls back to a
+  device-root `profile.json` written by an older client. The fallback is
+  read-only and the legacy document is **not** trashed: another machine may
+  still be running a pre-fix client that reads it.
+- `profile.rs:list_restorable_folders` — filters `.proton-drive-linux` out, or
+  the restore picker would offer to sync the bookkeeping back onto the machine

 ## 1. Core Feature Roadmap (Horizon Tasks)
 Consolidated from the historical feature roadmap; current bug status lives in [`BUGS.md`](BUGS.md).
 
-* **Local Cache & Metadata Encryption at Rest (Priority 5 / Horizon 1)**: Encrypt the SQLite database `cache.db` on disk using SQLCipher (`rusqlite` feature `bundled-sqlcipher`), and encrypt raw content cache blocks (`content/blocks/` and `content/scratch/`) using a fast symmetric scheme like AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305. The encryption key should be derived from the OS Keyring.
+* **Local Cache & Metadata Encryption at Rest (Priority 5 / Horizon 1)**: Encrypt the SQLite database `cache.db` on disk using SQLCipher (`rusqlite` feature `bundled-sqlcipher`), and encrypt raw content cache blocks (`content/blocks/` and `content/scratch/`) using a fast symmetric scheme like AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305. The encryption key should be derived from the OS Keyring. (The SDK entity cache in `sdk_cache.db` is already encrypted at rest — see *Persistent SDK Entity Cache* below — but `cache.db` and the content cache are not.)
 * **Active Bandwidth Throttling & Traffic Shaping (Horizon 1)**: Add speed governors for daemon uploads and downloads. Support configuration variables `max_upload_rate_kbps` and `max_download_rate_kbps` in `config.json` that can be dynamically adjusted over the Unix control socket.
 * **Interactive & Policy-Based Conflict Resolution (Horizon 1)**: Implement configurable conflict resolution policies (`rename-local`, `rename-remote`, `prefer-local`, `prefer-remote`, `interactive`). Add a "Conflicts" tab to the GUI to notify the user, block sync, and launch external visual diff tools (like Meld or KDiff3).
 * **Multi-Account / Multi-Profile Support (Horizon 3)**: Enable running multiple profiles concurrently. Support separate configuration namespaces (e.g. `profiles/<profile_name>/`), independent SQLite databases, distinct mount paths (e.g. `~/ProtonDrive/Personal` and `~/ProtonDrive/Work`), and multiple daemon processes.
 * **Custom FUSE Mount Options (Horizon 1)**: Expose custom mounting parameters in configuration (e.g. `ro` for read-only, `direct_io` to bypass kernel caching, `allow_other`). Auto-generate systemd user mount units upon sync folder configuration.
 * **Symbolic Link & Hard Link Virtualization (Horizon 2)**: Add symbolic link virtualization inside the metadata store (`NodeType::Symlink`) by intercepting `readlink(2)` and `symlink(2)`. Targets should sync remotely as small encrypted metadata placeholder files on Drive (`proton-vfs-symlink: <target>`).
 * **Desktop File Manager Integration (Horizon 2)**: Develop shell extension plugins for popular Linux file managers (Nautilus Python plugin, Dolphin Service Menus, Thunar custom actions) to offer context-menu shortcuts ("Pin", "Unpin", "Copy Share Link", "View Version History") and file overlay sync badges.
-* **Integrated Photo Gallery Enhancements (Horizon 2)**: Extract and display Exif metadata (camera model, exposure, coordinates) from photos locally, support creating and editing Proton Photo Albums, build a date-based timeline scrollbar, and create an auto-upload Pictures folder pipeline.
+* **Integrated Photo Gallery Enhancements (Horizon 2)**: Support creating and editing Proton Photo Albums (album *writes* are unported in the SDK too) and create an auto-upload Pictures folder pipeline. Exif display, the date-based timeline scrubber and favourites are implemented.
 * **Random-Access Media Streaming seek support (Horizon 2)**: Intercept out-of-order sparse reads (player seeks) in `pdfs-fuse` and prioritize downloading blocks around the seek offset, aborting/postponing sequential pre-fetches.
 * **Dynamic Sync Dashboard & Queue Visualization (Horizon 2)**: GUI real-time transfer list (progress bars, speed, ETA), sync history feed, storage usage breakdown, and global pause/resume sync controls.
 * **Interactive Terminal UI (TUI) Mode (Horizon 3)**: Implement `pdfs tui` using the `ratatui` crate to show transfer speed, sync status, active transfer queue with progress bars, and scrolling daemon logs.
 * **Shutdown Safety & Write Queue Visibility (Horizon 1 / P4)**: Register systemd inhibitor locks in `pdfs-fuse` when there are outstanding staging writes to prevent shutdown or sleep, pop up warnings when exiting the GUI, and build a blocking `pdfs sync flush` command.
 * **Block-Level Deduplication (Horizon 3)**: Transition to a Content-Addressable block cache where cached blocks are stored on disk by their SHA-256 hash. Map logical ranges in the database: `(node_uid, block_idx) -> block_hash` to avoid storing or downloading identical blocks.
 * **Pre-emptive Sync Debouncing & File System Events (Horizon 3)**: Group filesystem write events on paths and delay sync queue insertion until a quiet period has elapsed (e.g. 5 seconds of inactivity) to prevent thrashing the Proton API.
-* **File Version History (Horizon 2)**: Expose past file revisions and version history inside the GUI browser tabs.

 ## 6. Recently Implemented Features
 
+### File Version History (Implemented)
+**Files**: [`revisions.rs`](../crates/pdfs-fuse/src/revisions.rs), [`control.rs`](../crates/pdfs-core/src/control.rs), [`versions_dialog.rs`](../crates/pdfs-gui/src/app/widgets/versions_dialog.rs)
+
+Proton Drive keeps every revision a client committed; the daemon only ever addressed the active one, so a file overwritten by a sync pass could be recovered only from whatever the local `recovery/` directory happened to hold.
+
+The control protocol gained `ListRevisions` / `RestoreRevision` / `DeleteRevision` / `SaveRevisionAs` (each with a `…ByUid` twin for nodes the primary mount cannot name), the CLI gained `pdfs versions list|restore|save|rm`, and the browser's details pane gained a **Versions** button opening a per-file dialog.
+
+Three properties that shape the code:
+
+- **A restore is server-side and asynchronous.** No content crosses the wire and nothing enters the drain queue; the server answers 202 and swaps the active revision in the background, so the daemon evicts the file's cached blocks and open readers rather than describing the new state, and the UI wording promises the request, not the result.
+- **The active revision cannot be deleted.** `Core::delete_revision_for_uid` checks that locally so the user gets a sentence rather than an API code, and the dialog gives the current row no delete button.
+- **Saving a version never overwrites.** `SaveRevisionAs` refuses an existing destination and removes a partial file if the download fails — a half-written export looks identical to a good one to every tool that opens it afterwards.
+
+### Photo Favourites (Implemented)
+**Files**: [`photos.rs`](../crates/pdfs-fuse/src/photos.rs), [`photo_viewer.rs`](../crates/pdfs-gui/src/app/pages/photo_viewer.rs)
+
+The gallery can mark and filter favourites, through the SDK's photo-tag API (`update_photos`). Schema **v20** adds `photos.favorite`; the flag is learned in the timeline enrichment pass that already resolves each photo's name and media type, and is kept across a refresh that could not resolve a photo — the same learned-and-kept rule as `media_type`. The lightbox carries a star toggle, the Photos header a favourites filter, and the CLI has `pdfs favorite <uid> [--remove]` plus `pdfs photos --favorites`.
+
+Favouriting a photo that is not on this account's own photos volume (shared with us, or album-only) needs it re-encrypted for our timeline root, which the SDK does not implement; the daemon surfaces that as an error rather than silently doing nothing.
+
+### Persistent SDK Entity Cache (Implemented)
+**Files**: [`sdkcache.rs`](../crates/pdfs-core/src/sdkcache.rs), [`auth.rs`](../crates/pdfs-core/src/auth.rs), [`background.rs`](../crates/pdfs-fuse/src/background.rs)
+
+The SDK's Drive entity cache (decrypted node metadata: name, size, parent, signing share) defaulted to memory, so every daemon restart re-fetched and re-decrypted the tree the previous run had already walked. It is now backed by SQLite.
+
+- **Its own file** (`sdk_cache.db` in the state directory), not `cache.db`: the daemon's `Db` is one `Mutex<Connection>` shared by every FUSE thread and the control socket, and this traffic is frequent, small and entirely reconstructible. A separate file also means no schema migration — the store can be deleted at any time.
+- **Encrypted at rest** by wrapping it in the SDK's `EncryptedCacheRepository`, keyed by the mailbox password. A password change reads as a cold cache (the SDK treats an undecryptable entry as a miss and clears the store), not as an error.
+- **Staleness** is closed by the event loop, which already replays from a persisted cursor and calls `invalidate_caches_for_event` for every event — including those raised while the daemon was down. The one case with no trail is a *seeded* cursor (first-ever mount, or a lost cursor), where the seed path now clears the store instead of trusting it. `auth::logout` removes the file.
+
+Needed a small additive SDK change (`ProtonDriveClient::with_entity_repository`, 0.5.1): `with_entity_cache` is a constructor and so could not be combined with `with_key_salts`, which the daemon requires.
+
+### Per-node Batch Outcomes (Implemented)
+**File**: [`batch.rs`](../crates/pdfs-core/src/batch.rs)
+
+SDK 0.5.0 made `trash_nodes` / `restore_nodes` / `delete_nodes` report one outcome per node instead of failing the whole call (mirroring upstream's streamed `NodeActionResult`). `pdfs_core::batch::into_unit` collapses the single-node calls back to a `Result`; `batch::split` handles a collected batch.
+
+The trash view's restore and permanent-delete use the SDK's **streaming** variants (`restore_nodes_streaming` / `delete_nodes_streaming`) and apply local state per node as each batch lands rather than after the last one. For a permanent delete — which is irreversible — that means a daemon interrupted mid-batch has forgotten exactly the nodes the server destroyed, no more and no fewer. Both report per-node failures and count only what actually succeeded; only a batch where nothing succeeded is an error.

+

+**B79** (an on-demand device folder accepts writes) discovers its target from
+`pdfs locations --json` and skips when this machine has no mounted on-demand
+folder. It is the cheap standing guard against a *cross-mount* permission
+regression: the primary mount holds device-folder nodes too, and the queue guard
+intersects what every live inode space says about a uid, so a fail-closed
+classification in one mount denies writes in another.
+
+**B34** (a viewer-role share is read-only) and **B34b** (an editor-role share
+still writes) locate their subject through `pdfs shared-with-me --json`, which
+now carries `role` and a mount-relative `path`. Both skip when the account has no
+accepted share at that role — B34 needs a **second account** to have shared a
+folder read-only, which is the one part of the sharing suite that cannot be
+self-served. B34b degrades gracefully in the other direction: a shared *file*
+gets its mode bits and `W_OK` checked but is never written to, because it is
+someone else's document.
+
+B34's fourth assertion is the load-bearing one: `pending_uploads` and

+alone would pass a fix that still admitted the write into `pending_op`, which is
+the actual harm — a background drain failing 403 forever.

+the directory is absent (an account with no accepted shares).
