- Add Cloudflare Pages deployment for landing page (snapotter.com) and
docs (docs.snapotter.com)
- Create deploy-landing.yml and update deploy-docs.yml workflows
- Update CI to ignore apps/landing/** paths
- Fix logo transparency (remove white background) across all apps
- Recreate social-preview.png with SnapOtter branding
- Update all docs URLs from GitHub Pages to docs.snapotter.com
- Update VitePress config: light theme default, fix llms.txt paths
- Add .vitepress/cache/ and .env.* to gitignore
- Added model mismatch warnings in colorize, enhance-faces, and upscale routes.
- Improved error handling in colorize, enhance_faces, remove_bg, restore, and upscale scripts with detailed logging.
- Updated Dockerfile to align NCCL versions for compatibility.
- Introduced a new full tool audit script to test all tools for functionality and GPU usage.
- Created Playwright E2E tests for GPU-dependent tools to ensure proper functionality and performance.
- Parallelize all 14 model downloads using ThreadPoolExecutor (6 workers)
Downloads were sequential (~30 min), now concurrent (~5-10 min)
- Switch Docker cache from type=gha to type=registry (GHCR)
GHA cache has 10 GB limit causing blob eviction and corrupted builds
Registry cache has no size limit and persists across runner instances
- Add pip download cache mounts to all pip install layers
Prevents re-downloading packages when layers rebuild
Set U2NET_HOME=/opt/models/rembg so rembg models pre-downloaded at
build time as root are found at runtime by the non-root ashim user.
Without this every fresh container re-downloaded the 973 MB BiRefNet
models on first background-removal request.
Apply the same fix to PaddleOCR: download to /opt/models/paddlex and
symlink into both /root/.paddlex and /app/.paddlex so PaddleX finds
models regardless of which HOME gosu resolves at runtime.
Fall back to per-request spawning in bridge.ts when the persistent
dispatcher crashes mid-request (e.g. OOM loading a large ONNX model),
so the operation succeeds instead of surfacing "Python dispatcher
exited unexpectedly" to the user.
Improve entrypoint.sh permission warning to mention Windows bind mounts
as the likely cause.
urlretrieve against the HuggingFace CDN was consistently returning HTTP
504 in GitHub Actions runners for LaMa, NAFNet, and the OpenCV caffemodel.
The huggingface_hub library has built-in retry logic, resumable downloads,
and better CDN routing than bare urlretrieve.
- download_lama_model: urlretrieve → hf_hub_download (Carve/LaMa-ONNX)
- download_nafnet_model: urlretrieve → hf_hub_download (mikestealth/nafnet-models)
- download_opencv_colorize_models: caffemodel → hf_hub_download (space repo_type)
- _urlretrieve: retry count 3→5, flat 10s delay → exponential backoff (10/20/40/80s)
- Also reverts the SKIP_MODEL_DOWNLOADS=true from CI workflow (wrong approach)
download_models.py used bare urllib.request.urlretrieve() with no retry
logic. CI hit a HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout mid-build, failing the Docker
Build Test. Added _urlretrieve() wrapper that retries up to 3 times with
a 10s delay on any 5xx or network error. Also adds imports for time and
urllib.error.
The ONNX variant shadowed the .pth variant due to identical function
names, so codeformer.pth was never downloaded. Renamed the ONNX
function to download_codeformer_onnx_model so both run.
The original Berkeley server (eecs.berkeley.edu) is dead, returning
404 after redirect. Switched to a reliable HuggingFace-hosted mirror
of the same 129MB model file.
Three fixes to ensure zero network access after docker pull:
1. rembg model allowlist: validate model parameter against the 7
pre-downloaded models, preventing rembg from attempting to download
unknown models via a raw API call.
2. GFPGAN/CodeFormer auxiliary models: pre-download facexlib's
detection_Resnet50_Final.pth and parsing_parsenet.pth at build time.
These were previously downloaded on first use via basicsr. Symlinks
in /app/gfpgan/weights/ ensure codeformer-pip also finds them.
3. OpenCV colorize models: pre-download the prototxt, caffemodel, and
pts_in_hull.npy so the lightweight OpenCV colorizer fallback works
in addition to the primary DDColor method.

MediaPipe >= 0.10.30 removed the mp.solutions namespace. This broke
face blur, face enhance, red-eye removal, and photo restoration for
users running newer mediapipe versions (closes#43).
All 5 Python scripts that use mediapipe now try the legacy mp.solutions
API first and fall back to the new mp.tasks API on AttributeError.
Model files (blaze_face_short_range.task, face_landmarker.task) are
pre-downloaded during Docker build into /opt/models/mediapipe/ so the
image works fully airgapped. Local dev auto-downloads to .models/.

Add comprehensive photo restoration tool that chains multiple AI models:
- Scratch/tear/spot detection via morphological analysis (top-hat/black-hat transforms)
- Damage inpainting via LaMa ONNX model (reuses existing infrastructure)
- Face enhancement via CodeFormer ONNX (~377MB, from facefusion/models-3.0.0)
- Noise reduction via OpenCV NLMeans in LAB color space
- Optional B&W auto-colorization via DDColor (reuses existing model)
Settings: 3 restoration modes (Light/Auto/Heavy), individual feature toggles
for scratch removal, face enhancement (with fidelity slider), denoising
(with strength slider), and auto-colorize. Before/after comparison view.
Handles HEIC, HEIF, and all standard formats. Batch processing supported.
No new Python dependencies - reuses onnxruntime, cv2, mediapipe, PIL.
