Julien G. da3cba2de3 v3.0.19 Bug Fixes (#992)
* fix(mcp): replace relative oauth constent redirect by absolute redirect derived from APP_URL (#987)

* feat(journey): convert HEIC/HEIF uploads to JPEG for cross-platform compatibility

HEIC is an Apple-only format not recognised as an image by many browsers
and platforms. heic-to (lazy-loaded) now converts HEIC/HEIF files to JPEG
before upload in both the gallery and entry editor photo pickers.
Embedded metadata (EXIF, GPS) may be lost during conversion — documented
in the Journey Journal wiki page.

* fix(journey): skip heic-to import for non-HEIC files to avoid test env failures

* fix(notifications): prevent double-escaping HTML in password reset emails

buildPasswordResetHtml passed a pre-built HTML block to buildEmailHtml,
which then escaped it again — rendering raw tags as plain text in the email.

# Journey Journal
Journey is a photo-first travel journal. Each journey is linked to one or more of your trips and contains per-day entries with text, photos, mood, and weather.
> **Admin:** enable Journey in [Admin-Addons](Admin-Addons).

## What Journey is
Journey lets you write a narrative account of your travels alongside your trip plan. Entries are tied to specific days and can include prose, photos, a mood rating, weather conditions, and verdict cards. Completed journeys can be shared publicly with a read-only link.
## Accessing Journey
When the admin has enabled the Journey addon, a **Journey** entry appears in the main navigation. The Journey list page shows all your journals as cards with cover images, entry counts, photo counts, and place counts.
## Creating a journey
From the Journey list, click **Create journey**. Give it a title and optional subtitle, then select one or more existing trips to link. Linking a trip imports the trip's places as location anchors for your entries. You can link additional trips later from the journal settings.
## Journal entries
Each entry corresponds to a day in your journey. The entry editor provides:
- **Title** — a short heading for the day.
- **Story** — free-form text that supports Markdown formatting.
- **Mood** — choose one of four values:
| ID | Label | Color |
|---|---|---|
| `amazing` | Amazing | Pink |
| `good` | Good | Amber |
| `neutral` | Neutral | Grey |
| `rough` | Rough | Violet |
- **Weather** — choose one of six values: Sunny, Partly cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy, Stormy, Cold.
- **Photos** — attach photos to the entry. The first photo becomes the card thumbnail in list views.
> **Note on HEIC files:** HEIC is an Apple-only format that many browsers and platforms do not recognise as an image. To ensure broad compatibility, HEIC/HEIF files are automatically converted to JPEG before upload. This conversion may result in the loss of embedded metadata (EXIF data such as GPS coordinates, camera information, etc.).
- **Pros / Cons** — optional verdict cards. Add items to a **Pros** list (thumbs-up) or a **Cons** list (thumbs-down) to summarise what you loved or what could have been better. These are stored in the `pros_cons.pros` and `pros_cons.cons` arrays on the entry.
- **Tags** — free-form labels (e.g. "hidden gem", "best meal").
- **Location** — pin the entry to a map location.
- **Time** — optionally record a time of day for the entry.
## Mobile timeline
On mobile, entries are displayed in a horizontal scrolling timeline of card thumbnails. Tap a card to open the full entry view in a modal sheet. Each card shows the entry's first photo (or a placeholder pin), date, day number, mood icon, and weather icon.
## Map view
The journey detail page includes a map on the right (desktop) or an integrated map-timeline (mobile) showing all entry locations alongside the places from linked trips.
## Public sharing
You can share a journey with a read-only public link. When creating the link you can independently toggle which sections are visible to visitors: **Timeline** (entries and stories), **Gallery** (photos), and **Map**. Visitors can only see the sections you have enabled, and no TREK account is required. See [Public-Share-Links](Public-Share-Links) for details on the separate journey share token mechanism.
