JakeBreath 99f617d296 Footer storage/backend display and a staff role that actually grants staff
Footer:
- Left is now 'Backend Storage:' with a capacity bar (blue, peach at 80%,
  red at 95% per DESIGN.md) and a used/total/free tooltip; the watched
  folder path is no longer printed. /api/status/ returns a compact storage
  summary instead of the path (the full storage page still shows paths to
  authenticated users).
- Centre shows the backend API origin (empty = same origin). Staff get a
  link to /setup to point the browser elsewhere; everyone else sees it as
  plain text. The Account 'Backend connection' card is gone — this is
  installation plumbing, not a per-user setting.
- Design spec updated to match.

Staff role:
- The custom role did nothing on several endpoints that only accepted
  Django's is_staff/is_superuser. One canonical check now exists:
  User.is_app_staff (superuser, Django staff, or the staff role), used by
  the stats/users APIs, item object permissions, can_delete, upload/
  similarity/download/match querysets, and the management commands
  (which also pick staff-role accounts for e621 sync/match and file
  ownership).

Verified with a role-only staff account (is_staff/is_superuser false):
stats/users 200, all 32 downloads + 2 scans visible, others' items
editable; the same account as role=user gets 403 for all of those.

J621

Self-hosted media library and e621 archive manager, rebuilt as a React SPA + Django REST API.

Structure

backend/    Django 6 + DRF API (SQLite in dev, MariaDB in production)
frontend/   Vite + React + TypeScript SPA

Development

Backend

cd backend
source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py scan_files            # index the watched folder
python manage.py runserver

Copy .env.example to .env and set WATCHED_FOLDER before scanning.

Frontend

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev                            # http://localhost:5173, proxies /api to :8000

Production

Not wired up yet — planned: Nginx serving the SPA build, /media and /library media directly, and proxying /api to Waitress/Django. See frontend/ design docs for the UI specification.
