fix(frontend): sync sidebar pause menu with per-worker background task state

Only require a worker to be paused if it currently has pending work for
that folder, instead of demanding all four worker flags be true. The
background tasks panel only lets you toggle stages it shows, so the old
check stayed out of sync after pausing everything visible.

Also grants start-dragging and start-resize-dragging window permissions.

+# External CI
+
+CI and release builds run on the GitHub mirror because they require Windows
+runner capacity. The GitHub workflows report their state back to this Gitea
+repository through the commit status API.
+
+Keep this directory in the repository. Gitea checks `.gitea/workflows` before
+falling back to `.github/workflows`; an existing directory with no workflow
+files prevents the GitHub-only workflows from being queued by Gitea Actions.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. In Gitea, create an access token with `write:repository` permission for an
+   account that can update `JezzWTF/phokus`.
+2. In the GitHub repository, add that token as the Actions repository secret
+   `GITEA_STATUS_TOKEN`.
+
+The status steps are non-blocking. If Gitea is temporarily unavailable, the
+GitHub build result is preserved and the failed status update remains visible
+in the workflow log.

@@ -5,7 +5,224 @@ All notable changes to Phokus are documented here. The format is based on
 aims to follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html)
 (0.x: anything may change between minor versions).
 
-## [0.1.0] — Unreleased
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- **What's New** — after updating, Phokus now greets you with a "What's new"
+  toast that opens a tidy in-app tour of the new version. Added, Changed, and
+  Fixed notes are grouped into collapsible sections, so you can skim the good
+  bits without playing "spot the difference".
+- **Quick theme switch** — right-click the settings cog in the title bar to
+  swap between Phokus, Subtle Light, and Conventional Dark instantly. No Settings
+  detour required.
+- **Albums** — make your own cross-folder collections without moving a single
+  file. Albums live in their own sidebar section with cover thumbnails, can be
+  created, renamed, reordered, opened, and cleaned up in Manage mode, and deleting
+  one only removes the grouping.
+- **Gallery multi-select** — hover a thumbnail's top-left corner to start
+  selecting, then use the floating action bar to tag, rate, favorite, add to an
+  album, or delete a whole batch at once. It also works in similar-image, region,
+  and album views, because bulk work should not disappear the moment you need it.
+- **Colour search** — narrow the Gallery, Timeline, or tag results by dominant
+  colour using toolbar swatches or a custom picker. Great for those "I know it
+  was mostly blue" moments.
+- **Album-aware similar search** — similar-image and region searches started from
+  an album can now stay inside that album, jump back to the source folder, or
+  search everything.
+- **Tag manager** — Explore's Tag Cloud now has a Manage mode for renaming,
+  merging, and deleting tags across the whole library.
+- **Camera info in the lightbox** — the info panel now shows EXIF details like
+  camera, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focal length. Geotagged photos
+  also get a browser link for their GPS coordinates, and already-indexed images
+  do not need a re-index.
+- **Build badge in Settings** — Settings -> Updates now shows whether you are
+  running the CPU build or the CUDA build.
+- **Choose your tagging model** — Settings -> AI Workspace now lets you pick
+  between the anime-focused WD tagger and JoyTag, which is better suited to photo
+  libraries and stronger on NSFW concepts (if that's your thing, we don't judge).
+  New users get the same choice during the welcome tour, and each model keeps its
+  own confidence threshold instead of sharing one.
+- **Reset AI tags** — a new reset action in Settings -> AI Workspace and the Tag
+  manager wipes AI-generated tags for a folder or the whole library, cancelling
+  any tagging still in flight. Tag manager rows now show which tags came from the
+  AI, so you know what you are about to lose before you lose it. Manually-added
+  tags are never touched.
+- **Related tags in Explore** — Hover over a tag in the Tag Cloud to see the tags
+  that most often appear with it, complete with connection lines and image counts.
+  Handy for finding little clusters you did not know were there.
+- **Pause workers for longer** — Settings -> General can now remember per-folder
+  worker pauses across app restarts, useful for folders you want to keep in the
+  library but leave out of background processing for now.
+- **Editable folder path** — the folder picker now has an address bar, so you can
+  paste a path directly while still using breadcrumbs for quick jumps.
+- **Slideshow mode** — turn the lightbox into a fullscreen, image-only slideshow
+  from whatever collection you are already browsing.
+- **Add to album from the right-click menu** — right-click any image in the
+  Gallery or Timeline and file it straight into an album from the new "Add to
+  Album" submenu. One image, one click, zero ceremony.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Settings got a spring clean** — preferences are now organised into General,
+  Media, Updates & Setup, Storage, and AI Workspace pages, so update and
+  maintenance controls no longer hide at the bottom of unrelated sections.
+- **Menus got their act together** — right-click menus (images, folders,
+  albums, the theme switcher) and every dropdown (sort, folder scope, settings,
+  sidebar) now share one style with one set of manners: they stay on screen
+  instead of wandering off the edge, all close on Escape, and right-click menus
+  can do proper submenus now. Subtle Light dresses them all the same way too,
+  instead of saving the nice outfit for one dropdown.
+- **Neater lightbox details** — image and video metadata now sits in two columns,
+  so the info panel shows more at a glance with less scrolling.
+- **Faster Explore revisits** — returning to a folder's visual clusters should
+  feel much faster now, even in big libraries.
+- **Calmer Tag Cloud during AI tagging** — Explore no longer keeps hammering the
+  tag list while a folder is actively being tagged, so tagging stays smoother and
+  the cloud catches up once the work settles.
+- **Faster first-time clustering** — large libraries build their first visual
+  clusters much more quickly, while still keeping the groups nicely balanced.
+- **Better tag browsing** — the Tag manager now has live search, sorting
+  (most-used, least-used, A-Z, and Z-A), smooth scrolling for huge tag lists, and
+  it keeps your filter/sort in place while you edit.
+- **Safer deletion** — deleting media now asks for confirmation and clearly says
+  the file is being removed from disk. This covers gallery bulk delete and the
+  Duplicate Finder.
+- **Clearer update progress** — Settings -> Updates now shows a real download
+  progress bar with a percentage instead of the old lonely "Downloading" label.
+- **Better narrow-window layout** — the toolbar, filters, search box, colour
+  picker, sidebar, and lightbox info panel now adapt more gracefully when the
+  window is short on space.
+- **Tidier Explore clusters** — busier clusters get more room, dense groups
+  overlap less, and everything should stay easier to read and click.
+- **Faster CPU tagging** — CPU-only AI tagging can now use multiple cores while
+  leaving some breathing room for the rest of the app. GPU tagging is unchanged.
+- **Smoother tooltips** — Phokus now uses its custom tooltip style across more of
+  the app instead of falling back to the native browser tooltip.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Explore no longer flashes the last folder** — switching folders now clears
+  the old clusters/tags and shows a loading state while the new folder catches
+  up.
+- **Ratings keep your search order** — if you ever rated an image mid-search and
+  watched your results reshuffle themselves, that's over. Similar-image, region,
+  semantic, tag, and album results now stay put.
+- **Update progress comes back when you need it** — if you dismiss the update
+  prompt and later start the update from the title bar or Settings, the progress
+  toast now reappears instead of hiding away in Settings.
+- **Subtle Light cleanup** — fixed dark or hard-to-read surfaces, hover states,
+  dialogs, updater buttons, onboarding controls, and green action buttons in the
+  light theme.
+- **No more self-indexing loops** — adding a broad folder like your whole user
+  profile used to send Phokus off indexing its own thumbnail cache, generating
+  thumbnails of thumbnails until the end of time. It now skips its own app-data
+  directory.
+- **Background tasks show the active work first** — when one folder is paused and
+  another is processing, the active folder gets the main spot in the background
+  tasks bar.
+- **First launch fits smaller screens** — on 1366x768-style displays, fresh
+  installs used to open with part of the app tucked below the taskbar. The window
+  now clamps itself to the usable monitor area.
+- **Explore is clearer in Subtle Light** — cluster captions, buttons, cloud
+  words, hover glows, and the new connection lines now use stronger light-theme
+  colours.
+- **Explore got a few sharp edges sanded down** — Cluster Cloud uses the in-app
+  tooltip, singular counts now say "1 image", and the folder-scope dropdown no
+  longer hides behind cluster cards.
+- **AI tagging stays responsive** — starting a big tagging job used to turn the
+  rest of the app into a slideshow. GPU tagging now works in smaller bursts with
+  brief pauses between them, so the UI keeps moving and the first results land
+  sooner.
+- **Lightbox AI tags wake up on time** — the lightbox's AI tags action no longer
+  stays disabled until you happen to open Settings, and it switches on as soon as
+  a model download finishes.
+- **Noisy AI tags get cleaned up** — generic low-signal tags from WD and JoyTag
+  are filtered before they are saved, and matching older generated tags are
+  cleaned up on startup. Your manually-added tags are left alone.
+- **Selected Folders starts empty** — choosing "Selected Folders" for AI tagging
+  no longer pre-selects the first folder. You decide exactly what gets queued.
+- **A handful of tiny UI papercuts are gone** — the zoom buttons now show the
+  right tile size when you hover them, the folder picker no longer adds an odd
+  trailing slash to Windows drive breadcrumbs, the search field's clear button
+  no longer sits a few pixels too high, and menu labels no longer highlight like
+  text when you drag across them.
+
+## [0.1.1] — 2026-06-23
+
+### Added
+
+- **Custom multi-folder picker** — replaces the native OS dialog with an
+  in-app folder browser that lets you navigate, stage folders from multiple
+  locations, and add them all in one go. Duplicate roots are skipped
+  automatically; partially-failed batches remove successfully-added entries
+  from the staging panel so only failed folders remain to retry.
+- **Rebuild semantic index** maintenance action in Settings — drops and
+  recreates the vector tables at the current model dimension, then re-queues
+  every image for embedding. Fixes "dimension mismatch" search errors that
+  occur after switching between CLIP models with different output sizes.
+- **Video playback settings** — new Video Playback group in Settings with two
+  persisted toggles: "Autoplay in lightbox" (default on) and "Start muted"
+  (default off). Settings apply to the next opened video rather than the
+  current one.
+- **Timeline scrubber** — a year/month rail on the Timeline view that jumps to
+  any period in the library. Timeline now loads the full filtered set so the
+  scrubber spans the whole library instead of just the first page.
+- **Folder reordering** in the sidebar — drag-and-drop (with edge auto-scroll)
+  or keyboard (↑/↓ on the drag handle), with the custom order persisted across
+  sessions; the Libraries list also gains A–Z / Z–A / Custom sort.
+- Failed AI-tagging jobs can now be located from the background worker prompt,
+  including a gallery filter for images with failed tags and an expanded list
+  of failed filenames/errors.
+- A new theme system adds Phokus, Subtle Light, and Conventional Dark chrome
+  options across the app.
+- First-run onboarding now includes an inline theme picker so new users can
+  choose their preferred app chrome before continuing the tour.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Settings sections are reordered — General is now the first and default
+  section instead of AI Workspace.
+- The Duplicate Finder group list is now virtualised — only on-screen cards
+  mount, so large result sets (e.g. 5,000+ pairs) scroll without lag rather
+  than mounting every thumbnail at once.
+- The gallery grid is now row-virtualised, so very large libraries scroll
+  smoothly and only on-screen thumbnails are rendered.
+- Polished the new theme surfaces before release, including readable
+  subtle-light secondary buttons, failed-worker action buttons, and onboarding
+  controls.
+- Onboarding preview media keeps the dark gallery/media surface regardless of
+  the active chrome theme.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **AVIF thumbnails** — AVIF files are now processed correctly by routing
+  thumbnail generation through the bundled FFmpeg path instead of the Rust
+  image decoder (which has no dav1d dependency). Previously-failed AVIF jobs
+  are requeued on startup; JPEG derivatives are fed to the embedding and
+  tagging pipeline while the lightbox continues to display the original file.
+- Accent text is now readable in the Subtle Light theme.
+- Folder picker chevron tooltip now correctly shows "No subfolders" for leaf
+  entries instead of "Open folder" in both branches.
+- Folder picker Unix breadcrumb root now shows "/" instead of always "Home"
+  for non-home paths such as `/mnt/data`.
+- Video embedding jobs are no longer claimed before their thumbnail exists, and
+  any that previously failed for that reason are requeued on startup — videos no
+  longer churn through failed embeddings.
+- Subtle Light theme consistency — the lightbox metadata panel now follows the
+  light chrome while the image canvas stays dark (matching Conventional Dark),
+  and gallery/timeline media badges, duplicate-finder thumbnails, and the window
+  restore icon now theme correctly instead of staying Phokus-dark.
+- Timeline scrolling is now smooth on large libraries — it virtualizes per row
+  of tiles instead of per month, so a month with thousands of photos no longer
+  mounts every tile at once (thumbnails now load in incrementally as you scroll,
+  matching the All Media grid).
+- Background worker updates (thumbnails, metadata, embeddings, tags) no longer
+  re-sort the entire loaded image set on every batch. In Timeline, which loads
+  the whole library, this re-sort caused severe lag and could crash the app
+  during background indexing.

 Use **pnpm** — never npm.
 
-There are no test suites configured.
+Three test layers, none of which exercise the real Tauri window:
+- **Vitest unit tests** — co-located `*.test.ts` next to the pure logic they cover (`src/store/helpers.ts`, formatters, path utils); fixture factories in `src/test/factories.ts`.
+- **Rust unit tests** — inline `#[cfg(test)]` modules; DB tests run against in-memory SQLite via the shared `db::test_support` fixture (`test_conn()` + `test_image()`), which registers sqlite-vec and applies both migrations. Reuse it for any new DB-touching tests.
+- **Playwright e2e smoke tests** in `tests/` — run against the UI Lab (browser mocks).
 
 ## Architecture
 
 ### Frontend (`src/`)
 
-- **`store.ts`** — single Zustand store (`useGalleryStore`) that owns all app state and all `invoke()` calls to the Tauri backend. Every feature (folders, images, search, similar images, tags, captions, tagger, duplicates) is implemented as store actions here. React components are thin consumers.
+- **`src/store/`** — single Zustand store (`useGalleryStore`) that owns all app state and all `invoke()` calls to the Tauri backend, split into per-feature slices combined in `index.ts` (which exports `useGalleryStore` and the `GalleryStore` type). `types.ts` holds all interfaces/type unions (including `ImageRecord`); `helpers.ts` holds pure functions and cross-slice module state (search parsing, image sort/merge, request-token guards). Slices: `librarySlice` (folders), `gallerySlice` (image paging/filters/bulk actions), `searchSlice` (search + similar-images), `exploreSlice` (visual clusters, tag cloud, tags), `albumSlice`, `duplicateSlice`, `taggerSlice`, `captionSlice`, `settingsSlice`, `appSlice` (updates, onboarding, ffmpeg, worker pauses); `events.ts` wires the Tauri event listeners (`subscribeToProgress`). Components still call `useGalleryStore(s => s.field)` against one flat state object — the slice split is internal. React components are thin consumers.
 - **`App.tsx`** — sets up Tauri event listeners (`subscribeToProgress`) and renders the top-level layout (sidebar + active view).
-- **`src/components/`** — UI components: `Gallery`, `Lightbox`, `Sidebar`, `Toolbar`, `TagCloud`, `DuplicateFinder`, `BackgroundTasks`, `SettingsModal`, `MenuBar`, `TitleBar`.
+- **`src/components/`** — UI components: `Gallery`, `Lightbox`, `Sidebar`, `Toolbar`, `Timeline`, `ExploreView`, `DuplicateFinder`, `BackgroundTasks`, `SettingsModal`, `TitleBar`.
+- **`src/components/menu/`** — shared floating-UI primitives: `useDismissable`, `MenuPanel`/`MenuItem`/`SubMenu`, the portal-based `ContextMenu`, and the app-wide `Dropdown`. Build menus, dropdowns, and popovers on these instead of hand-rolling.
 - State management: Zustand v5, no selectors library — components call `useGalleryStore(s => s.field)` directly.
 - Styling: Tailwind CSS v4 (Vite plugin, no config file).
 - Virtualized gallery grid: `@tanstack/react-virtual`.
 - Animation: `framer-motion`.
 
+### UI Lab (`src/dev/`)
+
+`pnpm dev:ui` runs the real frontend (same `App.tsx`, store, components, CSS) in a plain browser with Tauri fully mocked — no Rust backend or Tauri window. `src/main.tsx` imports `src/dev/setupMockTauri.ts` before `App` in `ui` mode; `mockBackend.ts` implements an in-memory command backend, with fixtures in `mockFixtures.ts`/`mockScenarios.ts`. Pick a seeded state via `?scenario=` (`rich` default; also `empty`, `new-user`, `just-updated`, `busy`, `duplicates`, `album`, `errors`, `huge`) and a What's New entry via `?changelog=`. `Ctrl+Shift+D` opens the demo panel. Full guide: `docs/ui-lab.md`.
+
+Rules that keep UI Lab working:
+- Components that render thumbnails/covers/posters must use `mediaSrc(...)` from `src/lib/mediaSrc.ts`, never `convertFileSrc(...)` directly.
+- New Tauri commands invoked from the frontend need a mock in `src/dev/mockBackend.ts` (unmocked commands log console errors, which fail the e2e tests).
+
+UI Lab is for visual/layout work and agent browser inspection. Native behavior (file pickers, real thumbnails, window controls, updater) must still be validated in `pnpm dev:app`.

+# Phokus v0.1.1
+
+> Draft for the GitHub Release body. Fill in the checksums and trim as needed.
+
+**Phokus is a local-first desktop media library for Windows** — point it at
+your image and video folders and it builds a fast, searchable gallery with
+thumbnails, semantic search, visual discovery, AI tagging, and duplicate
+cleanup. Everything is processed on your machine; nothing is uploaded.
+
+This is a quality-of-life release on top of 0.1.0: a new in-app folder
+picker, themes, smoother scrolling on large libraries, and a batch of fixes.
+If you're updating from 0.1.0, the built-in updater will fetch this for you.
+
+## Install / update
+
+- **Updating from 0.1.0:** the in-app updater will offer 0.1.1 on launch — one
+  click downloads, installs, and relaunches.
+- **Fresh install:** download `Phokus_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe` below and run it.
+  **Windows SmartScreen will warn** that the publisher is unrecognized — this
+  build is **not code-signed**. Click **More info → Run anyway**.
+- Requires **Windows 10/11**. WebView2 is fetched automatically if missing.
+
+NVIDIA users wanting GPU embedding speed can use the
+`Phokus_0.1.1_x64-cuda-setup.exe` variant instead (larger download; bundles the
+CUDA runtime DLLs).
+
+## Highlights
+
+### Added
+- **Custom multi-folder picker** — navigate and stage folders from multiple
+  locations and add them in one go, replacing the native OS dialog.
+- **Themes** — Phokus, Subtle Light, and Conventional Dark chrome, with an
+  inline theme picker in first-run onboarding.
+- **Timeline scrubber** — a year/month rail to jump anywhere in the library.
+- **Folder reordering** in the sidebar (drag-and-drop or keyboard), persisted,
+  plus A–Z / Z–A / Custom sort for the Libraries list.
+- **Video playback settings** — autoplay-in-lightbox and start-muted toggles.
+- **Rebuild semantic index** maintenance action — fixes "dimension mismatch"
+  search errors after switching CLIP models.
+- Locate and filter images with failed AI-tagging jobs.
+
+### Changed
+- Gallery grid and Duplicate Finder list are now row-virtualised — large
+  libraries and large result sets (5,000+ pairs) scroll without lag.
+- Settings now open on General by default.
+
+### Fixed
+- **AVIF thumbnails** now generate correctly (routed through bundled FFmpeg);
+  previously-failed AVIF jobs are requeued on startup.
+- Video embedding jobs no longer churn through failed states before their
+  thumbnail exists; previously-failed ones are requeued.
+- Timeline scrolling is smooth on large libraries (per-row virtualisation);
+  background batches no longer re-sort the whole loaded set.
+- Numerous Subtle Light theme readability/parity fixes.
+
+See the [changelog](https://github.com/JezzWTF/phokus/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md)

+# Phokus UI Lab
+
+Phokus UI Lab is a browser-only development mode for visual work on the real
+Phokus frontend. It runs the same `App.tsx`, Zustand store, components, and CSS
+as the Tauri app, but installs Tauri JavaScript mocks before the app imports.
+
+This gives UI agents and contributors a stable browser target without launching
+the Rust backend or a Tauri window.
+
+## Run It
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev:ui
+```
+
+Then open:
+
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:1422
+```
+
+The script runs Vite in the custom `ui` mode:
+
+```bash
+vite --mode ui --host 127.0.0.1 --port 1422 --strictPort
+```
+
+The normal app development commands are unchanged:
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev:app   # Tauri app + Rust backend
+pnpm dev:vite  # frontend dev server for Tauri dev
+```
+
+## Scenarios
+
+UI Lab reads `?scenario=` from the URL. If no scenario is provided, it uses
+`rich`.
+
+| URL | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `/?scenario=rich` | Default realistic library with folders, albums, ratings, favorites, tags, images, and videos |
+| `/?scenario=empty` | Empty library with no folders or media (onboarding already completed) |
+| `/?scenario=new-user` | True first run: onboarding tour open, empty library, no tagger model downloaded |
+| `/?scenario=just-updated` | Rich library that has just been updated — the "What's new" toast fires on launch |
+| `/?scenario=busy` | Background workers with pending thumbnail, metadata, embedding, caption, and tagging jobs |
+| `/?scenario=duplicates` | Duplicate Finder opened with duplicate groups already available |
+| `/?scenario=album` | Gallery opened directly into an album |
+| `/?scenario=errors` | Broken thumbnails, folder scan errors, failed embeddings, failed tagging, and metadata issues |
+| `/?scenario=huge` | Large mock library for virtualization and layout checks |
+
+Examples:
+
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:1422/?scenario=duplicates
+http://127.0.0.1:1422/?scenario=errors
+http://127.0.0.1:1422/?scenario=huge
+```
+
+## Changelog Previews
+
+The What's New modal adapts its layout to release size (compact single column
+for small releases, a two-pane section rail for large ones). UI Lab reads
+`?changelog=` to override which entry the modal shows:
+
+| URL | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `/?changelog=unreleased` | The in-progress `[Unreleased]` notes — large release, rail layout |
+| `/?changelog=small` | Synthetic hotfix-sized entry — compact single-column layout |
+| `/?changelog=0.1.1` | Any specific released version |
+
+Open the modal via the demo panel: `Ctrl+Shift+D` → Open "What's new" modal.
+
+Combine with the scenario above to walk the whole post-update greeting for the
+next release: `/?scenario=just-updated&changelog=unreleased`.
+
+## How It Works
+
+`src/main.tsx` bootstraps the app asynchronously. In `ui` mode it imports
+`src/dev/setupMockTauri.ts` first, then imports the real `App`.
+
+That order matters because static imports are hoisted. The Tauri mocks must be
+installed before `App`, the store, the title bar, or visual components import
+Tauri APIs.
+
+The mock setup installs:
+
+- `mockWindows("main")` for window APIs used by the title bar
+- `mockConvertFileSrc("windows")` as a baseline Tauri file URL mock
+- `mockIPC(..., { shouldMockEvents: true })` for `invoke`, `listen`, and `emit`
+
+The in-memory backend lives in:
+
+```text
+src/dev/mockBackend.ts
+src/dev/mockFixtures.ts
+src/dev/mockScenarios.ts
+src/dev/applyMockScenario.ts
+```
+
+Happy-path fixture media is generated from existing onboarding images and
+website screenshots into:
+
+```text
+public/dev-media/fixture-*.webp
+```
+
+The pack is deliberately small and deterministic, but varied enough for browser
+screenshots: square, portrait, landscape, monochrome, tinted, framed, and
+interface-like crops. Synthetic or deliberately broken fixture paths can still
+use the `mock://` scheme described below.
+
+## Mock Media
+
+Visual components should use `mediaSrc(...)` instead of calling
+`convertFileSrc(...)` directly:
+
+```ts
+import { mediaSrc } from "../lib/mediaSrc";
+
+const src = mediaSrc(image.thumbnail_path);
+```
+
+In normal Tauri modes, `mediaSrc` delegates to `convertFileSrc`. In UI Lab,
+root-relative asset URLs such as `/dev-media/fixture-01.webp` are returned
+as-is. Paths beginning with `mock://` are also served from `public/dev-media`:
+
+```text
+mock://thumb-1.svg -> /dev-media/thumb-1.svg
+```
+
+Use `mediaSrc` when adding components that render thumbnails, album covers,
+preview images, or video posters.
+
+## Adding A Mock Command
+
+If the browser console logs an unmocked command, add it to
+`src/dev/mockBackend.ts`.
+
+Prefer returning realistic data for commands that affect visible UI. For actions
+that would touch the machine, return a safe no-op:
+
+```ts
+case "open_app_data_folder":
+  return null;
+```
+
+When adding fixture data, keep it shaped like the real store/Rust contracts.
+Most frontend-facing types are exported from `src/store.ts`, so the mocks can
+stay type-checked against the real UI.
+
+## Adding A Scenario
+
+1. Add the scenario name to `MockScenario` and `SCENARIOS` in
+   `src/dev/mockScenarios.ts`.
+2. Adjust fixture creation in `src/dev/mockFixtures.ts`.
+3. If the scenario should open a specific view, add that behavior in
+   `src/dev/applyMockScenario.ts`.
+4. Visit `http://127.0.0.1:1422/?scenario=your-scenario` and check for console
+   errors.
+
+## What UI Lab Is For
+
+UI Lab is intended for:
+
+- visual iteration on the real app shell
+- layout and responsive checks
+- state-heavy views like Explore, Timeline, Duplicates, albums, and Settings
+- AI-agent screenshot/browser inspection
+- safe UI work without filesystem or Rust-side effects
+
+It is not a replacement for Tauri app testing. Validate native behavior with
+`pnpm dev:app` when touching:
+
+- file or folder pickers
+- filesystem permissions
+- real thumbnail/video loading
+- window drag, minimize, maximize, or close behavior
+- Rust backend performance
+- updater installation
+- WebView2-specific behavior
+
+## Verification
+
+Useful checks after changing UI Lab:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsc --noEmit
+pnpm build:vite
+pnpm dev:ui
+```
+
+Then smoke-test at least:
+
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:1422/?scenario=rich
+http://127.0.0.1:1422/?scenario=empty
+http://127.0.0.1:1422/?scenario=duplicates
+http://127.0.0.1:1422/?scenario=errors
+http://127.0.0.1:1422/?scenario=huge
+```
