P0 — stop the bleeding:
- Honor place.image_url in MapView and TripPlannerPage to skip redundant fetchPhoto calls
- Trim Place Details field mask (drop reviews/editorialSummary from default; new getPlaceDetailsExpanded for inspector)
- Admin toggle places_photos_enabled (default ON) to kill Google photo fetches under quota pressure; Wikimedia unaffected
- Return { photoUrl: null } instead of 204 so client handles disabled state cleanly
P1 — structural fix:
- New placePhotoCache service: persistent disk cache at uploads/photos/google/<sha1>.jpg, atomic writes, stampede dedup via in-flight Map
- Migrations 105-107: google_place_photo_meta table, place_details_cache table, backfill signed Google URLs to stable proxy URLs
- getPlacePhoto rewrites to fetch image bytes directly, store on disk, return /api/maps/place-photo/:id/bytes proxy URL
- Stable proxy URLs written to places.image_url — survive container restarts, no expiry
- New GET /api/maps/place-photo/:placeId/bytes route serving cached files with long-lived Cache-Control
- Place Details DB row cache with 7-day TTL; ?refresh=1 escape hatch
- photoService fast-path: proxy URLs bypass the mapsApi round-trip and go straight to urlToBase64
Bug fixes:
- MapView now requests base64 thumbs for places with proxy image_url (markers were showing color fallback)
- createPlaceIcon accepts /api/maps/place-photo/ URLs as interim fallback while thumb generates
- setSelectedAssignmentId ReferenceError in mobile day-detail handler (use selectAssignment)
- Remove redundant decodeURIComponent on already-decoded Express route param
- Use SHA1 hash for disk filenames to prevent coords:lat:lng pseudo-ID collisions
- Add checkSsrf guard to Wikimedia byte fetch
- Tighten migration 107 LIKE filter to avoid rewriting manually-pasted Google image URLs
- Validate enabled is boolean on PUT /admin/places-photos
- Drop aggressive iconCache.clear() on every thumb arrival
Observability:
- googleFetch() wrapper counts and debug-logs every outbound Google API call with running total
- Add paddingBottom: var(--bottom-nav-h) to all mobile overlays that were
clipping content behind the bottom navbar: EntryEditor, SystemNoticeModal,
JourneyPage create modal, TodoListPanel sheets, TripPlannerPage
PlaceInspector, PackingListPanel bag modal, both PhotoLightboxes,
FileManager viewer, and shared Modal primitive
- Replace single-notice mobile bottom sheet with a 3-slot horizontal strip
so adjacent notices are physically present during drag
- Add live-follow swipe left/right to navigate between notices with
spring-back when under threshold and flushSync to eliminate blink on commit
- Add live-follow swipe down to dismiss all notices with spring-back;
backdrop tap also triggers the slide-down animation
- Normalize notice height with useLayoutEffect minHeight on strip and
align-items: stretch so all slots are always the tallest notice height
- Pin CTA button at consistent Y across notices via flex-1 + mt-auto;
always render invisible Not now placeholder to equalise CTA section height
- Move pager dots/counter below CTA buttons
- Add --bottom-nav-h CSS token (84px + safe-area on mobile, 0px on desktop)
to give all fixes a single source of truth for the nav height
- Apply token to JourneySettingsDialog (fixes#650) and PlacesSidebar
day-picker sheet so bottom-anchored sheets clear the nav bar
- Add paddingBottom to TripPlannerPage Bookings, Lists, and Budget tab
scroll containers so content can be scrolled past the nav
- Bump Modal z-index from z-50 to z-[200] so modals render above the
bottom nav (both share z-50 with nav winning by DOM order)
- 5-table schema (journeys, entries, photos, trips, contributors) with migrations 87-91
- Trip-to-Journey sync engine with skeleton entries and photo sync
- Full CRUD API for journeys, entries, photos with Immich/Synology integration
- Timeline, Gallery and Map views with entry editor (markdown, mood, weather, pros/cons)
- Journey frontpage with hero card, stats and trip suggestions
- Public share links with token-based access and photo proxy
- PDF photo book export (Polarsteps-inspired)
- Dashboard redesign: mobile greeting, live trip hero, quick actions, unified card design
- BottomNav profile sheet with settings/admin/logout
- DayPlan mobile inline place picker
- TripFormModal members management
- Vacay calendar trip date indicator dots
- Fix contributor photo access (403) for journey Immich/Synology photos
- Trip deletion cleanup for journey skeleton entries
- i18n: 231 new keys across all 14 languages (native translations, no fallbacks)
- Split `media:read` into `geo:read` and `weather:read` scopes
- Add dedicated `atlas:read/write` scopes (previously under `places`)
- Add dedicated `todos:read/write` scopes (previously under `collab`)
- Rate limiting now keyed by userId+clientId instead of userId alone
- Bind MCP sessions to the OAuth client that created them
- Log MCP tool calls to audit log with clientId
- Invalidate all MCP sessions on addon state change
- Reduce session sweep interval from 10min to 1min
- Update all translations with new scope labels
Date-only strings parsed with new Date(dateStr + 'T00:00:00') were
interpreted relative to the local timezone, causing off-by-one day
display for users west of UTC. Fixed across 16 files by parsing as
UTC ('T00:00:00Z') and displaying with timeZone: 'UTC'.
Store & re-render optimization:
- TripPlannerPage uses selective Zustand selectors instead of full store
- placesSlice only updates affected days on place update/delete
- Route calculation only reacts to selected day's assignments
- DayPlanSidebar uses stable action refs instead of full store
Map marker performance:
- Shared photoService for PlaceAvatar and MapView (single cache, no duplicate requests)
- Client-side base64 thumbnail generation via canvas (CORS-safe for Wikimedia)

- Sidebar uses same base64 thumbnails with IntersectionObserver for visible-first loading
- Icon cache prevents duplicate L.divIcon creation
- MarkerClusterGroup with animate:false and optimized chunk settings
- Photo fetch deduplication and batched state updates
Server optimizations:
- Wikimedia image size reduced to 400px (from 600px)
- Photo cache: 5min TTL for errors (was 12h), prevents stale 404 caching
