- 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

AI routes (remove-background, erase-object, ocr, blur-faces, upscale)
were silently swallowing errors - failures returned HTTP 422 to the
client but never appeared in server logs. This made it impossible for
self-hosters to diagnose issues like 504 timeouts from reverse proxies.
Adds request.log.info() at processing start (tool name, image size, key
settings) and request.log.error() in catch blocks, matching the existing
tool-factory pattern.

* feat: add resolveOutputFormat utility for input format preservation
* fix: preserve file order in batch processing with X-File-Results header
Collect all results before streaming the ZIP to guarantee upload order.
Replace X-File-Order with index-based X-File-Results header that maps
each upload index to its processed filename, handling failures and
duplicate filenames correctly.
Closes#13
* fix: use X-File-Results for index-based batch file matching
The frontend now matches processed files to entries by upload index
instead of fragile name/position matching.
* feat: preserve input format in smart-crop with quality control
Smart crop now outputs in the same format as the input (JPG in, JPG out)
instead of always converting to PNG. Adds an optional quality setting
(default 95) for lossy formats.
Closes#14
* feat: add output quality slider to smart crop settings UI
* feat: preserve input format in crop tool
* feat: preserve input format in color adjustment tools
Applies to brightness-contrast, saturation, color-channels, and
color-effects tool routes.
* refactor: avoid double encode in smart-crop content mode
For the simple trim path (no pad-to-square), chain .toFormat() on the
trim pipeline directly instead of creating a second Sharp instance.
This eliminates a redundant intermediate encode that degraded quality
for lossy formats. Also use trimmed.info dimensions instead of a
separate metadata() call for the pad-to-square path.

Adds a new mode that trims uniform-color borders around the subject,
like GIMP's "Crop to Content." Includes configurable tolerance threshold
and optional pad-to-square with target size for e-commerce workflows.
The original attention-based crop is preserved as "Focus Crop" mode.
Closes#7
- Health endpoint returns "healthy" instead of "ok" for consistency
- MAX_USERS now configurable via env var (default 5)
- People API returns team names instead of UUIDs in register/list
- PUT user update accepts team names (name-first lookup, fallback to ID)
- Login rate limit follows global rate limit when RATE_LIMIT_PER_MIN > 1000
- Strip-metadata preserves original format encoding instead of always PNG
- Fix e2e tests: rotate/crop/border button selectors match actual UI
- Fix e2e tests: create Engineering/Design teams in people test setup
- Fix e2e tests: people UI uses select for team field, not text input
- Update visual regression baseline for tablet home page
SVG files were rejected by the convert endpoint because
validateImageBuffer only recognized raster magic bytes. This adds
text-based SVG detection, sanitization in the tool factory, and
proper Sharp density handling so SVG-to-raster conversion works
through the standard convert route.
Register remove-background, upscale, and blur-faces in the pipeline
tool registry via registerToolProcessFn(). These tools keep their
custom HTTP routes (with progress callbacks) for direct use, but now
also provide a simple process function for pipeline/batch execution.
Add a search bar to the pipeline tool picker so users can quickly
find tools by name or description. Uses the existing SearchBar
component and the same filtering pattern as the main tool panel.
Update tests to reflect that these 3 AI tools are now pipeline-
compatible (moved from excluded to included assertions).
Fix face detection failure caused by MediaPipe 0.10.33 removing the
mp.solutions API. Replace with OpenCV Haar cascade which works reliably
in headless Docker. Add autoOrient() call before detection to handle
EXIF-rotated phone photos. Remove technical jargon from UI.
Fix rotated output by calling autoOrient() before passing images to
the Python upscaler, correcting EXIF orientation metadata. Replace
2x/4x buttons with 2x-8x slider plus quick-select buttons (2x, 3x,
4x, 6x, 8x). Remove technical jargon about Real-ESRGAN/Lanczos from
the UI and progress bar.
Remove docs/superpowers/, .claude/ config, and PRD.md from version
control (kept locally via .gitignore). Update README, CHANGELOG,
VitePress docs, and .env.example to reflect recent features: Files
page, teams, admin settings, persistent storage, and various API
improvements.
Add feature flag support to skip disabled/experimental tools at startup
by reading disabledTools and enableExperimentalTools from the settings
table. Refactor cleanup.ts to read tempFileMaxAgeHours from DB settings
(with env var fallback) and respect the startupCleanup setting.
- Remove @fastify/swagger and @fastify/swagger-ui (API docs live on GitHub Pages)
- Run typecheck, build, and docker CI jobs in parallel instead of sequentially
Samsung Galaxy phones (and others) can have GPS EXIF tags with null
coordinate values when location is disabled. The server returned
_latitude: null, and the client guard used !== undefined which passed
for null, causing null.toFixed() to crash React with no ErrorBoundary.
- Server: validate GPS array values are actual numbers before computing
- Client: use != null guard (catches both null and undefined)
- App: add ErrorBoundary to prevent white screens from any future crash
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.
Extract clientJobId from multipart form data in all 5 AI route handlers
(remove-background, upscale, blur-faces, erase-object, ocr) and forward

- text-overlay: styled text on images with shadow and background box
- compose: layer images with position, opacity, and blend modes
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.
- createToolRoute<T> factory: handles multipart parsing, file validation,
Zod settings validation, workspace management, and error handling
- Each tool only needs to provide toolId, settingsSchema, and process function
- Registers POST /api/v1/tools/:toolId routes automatically
- Tool registry stub at routes/tools/index.ts ready for tool implementations
- Catches Sharp errors and returns clean API error envelopes (422)
