## Configuration Updates

### Dependencies Added

**Backend (`pyproject.toml`):**
- `python-magic>=0.4.27` - File type detection

**Nix (`flake.nix`):**
- `python-magic` - Python package
- `file` - System package for libmagic

### Environment Variables

New `.env.example` created with MinIO configuration:

```bash
MINIO_ENDPOINT=localhost:9000
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin
MINIO_SECRET_KEY=minioadmin
MINIO_BUCKET=webref
MINIO_SECURE=false
```

### Nix Services

Development services managed by Nix (not Docker):
- PostgreSQL: `localhost:5432`
- MinIO API: `http://localhost:9000`
- MinIO Console: `http://localhost:9001`
- Start: `./scripts/dev-services.sh start`
- See: `docs/development/nix-services.md`

---

## CI/CD Setup ✅

### Created Workflows

**`.github/workflows/ci.yml`:**
- Backend linting (Ruff)
- Backend testing (pytest with coverage)
- Frontend linting (ESLint, Prettier)
- Frontend testing (Vitest with coverage)
- Frontend build verification
- Nix flake check
- Codecov integration

**`.github/workflows/deploy.yml`:**
- Nix package builds
- Deployment artifact creation
- Template for NixOS deployment

### CI Features
- Parallel job execution
- PostgreSQL + MinIO test services
- Coverage reporting
- Artifact retention (7-30 days)

---

## Flake.nix Status

### Currently Active ✅
- Development shell with all dependencies
- Lint and lint-fix apps (`nix run .#lint`)
- Backend package build
- Frontend linting support

### Frontend Package (Commented)

The frontend package build in `flake.nix` (lines 232-249) is **intentionally commented** because:

1. **Requires `npm install`**: Must run first to generate lock file
2. **Needs hash update**: `npmDepsHash` must be calculated after first build
3. **Not critical for dev**: Development uses `npm run dev` directly

**To enable (when needed for production):**

```bash
# Step 1: Install dependencies
cd frontend && npm install

# Step 2: Try to build with Nix
nix build .#frontend

# Step 3: Copy the hash from error message and update flake.nix
# Replace: sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
# With:    sha256-<actual-hash-from-error>

# Step 4: Rebuild
nix build .#frontend
```

---

## Test Coverage

### Backend
- ✅ Unit tests: `test_validation.py`, `test_processing.py`
- ✅ Integration tests: `test_images.py`
- ✅ All pass with no linting errors

### Frontend
- ⚠️ Component tests pending: `upload.test.ts` (Task T097)
- Deferred to Phase 23 (Testing & QA)

---

## File Validation Specifications

### Supported Formats
- JPEG/JPG (image/jpeg)
- PNG (image/png)
- GIF (image/gif)
- WebP (image/webp)
- SVG (image/svg+xml)

### Limits
- **Single Image**: 50MB (52,428,800 bytes)
- **ZIP Archive**: 200MB (209,715,200 bytes)
- **Dimensions**: 1px - 10,000px (width/height)

### Validation Layers
1. **Extension check**: Filename validation
2. **Magic bytes**: MIME type detection via libmagic
3. **Size check**: File size limits enforced
4. **Image validation**: PIL verification (dimensions, format)

---

## Thumbnail Generation

### Quality Tiers
| Tier | Width | Use Case |
|------|-------|----------|
| Low | 800px | Slow connections (<1 Mbps) |
| Medium | 1600px | Medium connections (1-5 Mbps) |
| High | 3200px | Fast connections (>5 Mbps) |

### Processing
- **Format**: WebP (better compression than JPEG)
- **Quality**: 85% (balance size/quality)
- **Method**: Lanczos resampling (high quality)
- **Transparent handling**: RGBA → RGB with white background

---

## Security Features

### Authentication
- All endpoints require JWT authentication
- Ownership validation on all operations

### File Validation
- Magic byte verification (prevents disguised files)
- MIME type whitelist enforcement
- Path traversal prevention (filename sanitization)
- Size limit enforcement

### Data Protection
- User isolation (can't access others' images)
- Reference counting (prevents accidental deletion)
- Soft delete for boards (preserves history)

---

## Known Limitations & Future Work

### Current Limitations
1. **Synchronous thumbnails**: Generated during upload (blocks response)
2. **No progress for thumbnails**: Processing time not tracked
3. **Single-threaded**: No parallel image processing

### Improvements for Later Phases
- **Phase 22 (Performance)**: 
  - Implement async thumbnail generation
  - Add Redis task queue (Celery)
  - Virtual rendering optimization
- **Phase 23 (Testing)**:
  - Complete frontend component tests (T097)
  - E2E upload scenarios
  - Load testing with large files

---

## Database Schema

### Tables Used
- **images**: Image metadata and storage paths
- **board_images**: Junction table (board ↔ image relationship)
- **boards**: Board metadata (already exists)
- **users**: User accounts (already exists)

### Key Fields
- `reference_count`: Track usage across boards
- `metadata`: JSONB field for thumbnails, checksums, EXIF
- `storage_path`: MinIO object path
- `transformations`: JSONB for non-destructive edits (future use)

---

## Performance Characteristics

### Upload Times (Approximate)
| File Size | Connection | Time |
|-----------|------------|------|
| 5MB | 10 Mbps | ~4-5s |
| 20MB | 10 Mbps | ~16-20s |
| 50MB | 10 Mbps | ~40-50s |

*Includes validation, storage, and thumbnail generation*

### Thumbnail Generation
- **800px**: ~100-200ms
- **1600px**: ~200-400ms
- **3200px**: ~400-800ms

*Times vary based on original size and complexity*

### Phase 6 Will Implement:
