Safari blocks SameSite=Lax cookies on <img> subresource requests,
causing 401 errors when loading Immich thumbnails and originals.
Replaced the token-based <img src> approach with direct fetch()
using credentials: 'include', which reliably sends cookies across
all browsers. Images are now loaded as blobs with ObjectURLs.
Added a concurrency limiter (max 6 parallel fetches) to prevent
ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES when many photos load simultaneously.
Queue is cleared when the photo picker closes so gallery images
load immediately.
Eliminates XSS token theft risk by storing session JWTs in an httpOnly
cookie (trek_session) instead of localStorage, making them inaccessible
to JavaScript entirely.
- Add cookie-parser middleware and setAuthCookie/clearAuthCookie helpers
- Set trek_session cookie on login, register, demo-login, MFA verify, OIDC exchange
- Auth middleware reads cookie first, falls back to Authorization: Bearer (MCP unchanged)
- Add POST /api/auth/logout to clear the cookie server-side
- Remove all localStorage auth_token reads/writes from client
- Axios uses withCredentials; raw fetch calls use credentials: include
- WebSocket ws-token exchange uses credentials: include (no JWT param)
- authStore initialises isLoading: true so ProtectedRoute waits for /api/auth/me

Addresses CWE-598: long-lived JWTs were exposed in WebSocket URLs, file
download links, and Immich asset proxy URLs, leaking into server logs,
browser history, and Referer headers.
- Add ephemeralTokens service: in-memory single-use tokens with per-purpose
TTLs (ws=30s, download/immich=60s), max 10k entries, periodic cleanup
- Add POST /api/auth/ws-token and POST /api/auth/resource-token endpoints
- WebSocket auth now consumes an ephemeral token instead of verifying the JWT
directly from the URL; client fetches a fresh token before each connect
- File download ?token= query param now accepts ephemeral tokens; Bearer
header path continues to accept JWTs for programmatic access
- Immich asset proxy replaces authFromQuery JWT injection with ephemeral token
consumption
- Client: new getAuthUrl() utility, AuthedImg/ImmichImg components, and async
onClick handlers replace the synchronous authUrl() pattern throughout
FileManager, PlaceInspector, and MemoriesPanel
- Add OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL env var and oidc_discovery_url DB setting to allow
overriding the auto-constructed discovery endpoint (required for Authentik
and similar providers); exposed in the admin UI and .env.example
