* feat(image-enhancement): add analysis and correction types
* feat(image-enhancement): implement auto-enhance analysis and correction engine
* test(image-enhancement): add unit tests for auto-enhance engine
* feat(image-enhancement): add API route with analyze endpoint and register in constants/i18n
* feat(image-enhancement): add UI component with mode selector, intensity slider, and analysis badges
* test(image-enhancement): add integration and e2e tests
* fix(image-enhancement): use modulate instead of gamma for exposure correction
Sharp's gamma() only accepts values between 1.0 and 3.0, but brightening
underexposed images computed gamma < 1.0. Switch to modulate({ brightness })
which handles both brightening and darkening correctly.

Add 12 previously undocumented routes to the OpenAPI 3.1 specification:
content-aware-resize, edit-metadata (+ inspect), stitch, pdf-to-image
(+ info, preview), gif-tools/info, remove-background/effects, preview,
pipeline/tools, and pipeline/batch. Fix license from MIT to AGPL-3.0,
correct DELETE /files response from 204 to 200 with body, and update
VitePress API docs (rest.md tool table, ai.md model parameters). Also
register the sharpen operation in the image-engine OPERATION_MAP so it
can be used as a standalone pipeline step.

Remove Background:
- Two-phase flow: AI removes bg once, then effects adjust instantly
- Blur background effect with real-time CSS preview (portrait mode)
- Drop shadow effect with opacity control
- Gradient backgrounds with presets, custom colors, and angle
- Custom background image upload (including HEIC/HEIF)
- Solid color backgrounds moved from Python to Node.js/Sharp
- Effects-only API endpoint for instant re-renders without AI re-run
- HEIC/HEIF input support (decoded before passing to Python/rembg)
- Passport/ID photo checkbox defaults ON for People subject
- Before/after slider preserved when no effects active
- 15 comprehensive Playwright e2e tests
Color Tools:
- Consolidated 4 tools (brightness-contrast, saturation, color-channels,
color-effects) into single "Adjust Colors" tool
- Added exposure, temperature, tint, hue, sharpness controls
- SVG filter-based live preview for all adjustments
- Backward-compatible URL redirects from old tool paths
Other fixes:
- Favicon tool: download button instead of auto-download
- Batch processing: HEIC filename extension fix
- File store: processedFilename field for proper batch downloads
- Add bidirectional HEIF support: decode (input) and encode (output) via system heif-convert/heif-enc
- Add server-side WebP preview generation for non-browser-previewable formats (HEIC, TIFF)
- Fix content-aware resize failing on HEIF input (decode before passing to caire)
- Fix content-aware resize timeout on large images by downscaling to max 1200px and using JPEG intermediate
- Add HEIF as target format in convert tool
- Add loading spinner for HEIF preview decode in file store
- Fix file picker not accepting HEIF files (explicit .heic,.heif,.hif extensions)
- Extend frontend timeout for medium tools to 180s with 45s progress animation
- Redesign rotate controls with preset buttons and compact flip section
- Remove misleading savings percentage from convert tool
- Replace Rule of Thirds button with checkbox for clearer toggle
- Show side-by-side comparison after crop instead of overlay slider
- Add custom aspect ratio option with W:H number inputs
- Fix batch crop failing on files with different dimensions by
sending percentage-based coordinates instead of absolute pixels
- Add failed-file error state display in tool page
Prevent silent data corruption when the API is called directly
(bypassing UI guards). Binary/complex EXIF fields like MakerNote
are now filtered from fieldsToRemove in the image-engine operation.
Move sanitizeValue, parseExif, parseGps, parseXmp into the shared
image-engine package so both strip-metadata and edit-metadata can
reuse them. Includes 13 unit tests covering all four functions.
Consolidate all access to localhost:1349 — Vite dev server serves on 1349
and proxies API calls to an internal dev port (13490). Production API
defaults to 1349. Also includes strip-metadata improvements, UI component
updates, and compress operation fixes.
Seven tool route files using the createToolRoute factory, registering 10 API
endpoints total (color adjustments covers 4 tool IDs). Also fixes the tool
factory generic to properly infer Zod output types and clamps the compress
binary-search quality to 1-100.
