JakeBreath a152063d76 Keep animated images animated in the optimizer
- Animated WebP (J-82) was being flattened to its first frame: browsers
  have no animated WebP encoder, so the modal now sniffs the file header
  (4 KB range request), explains the limitation and disables Process
  instead of overwriting the file with a single frame.
- APNGs saved as .png took the still-image path and lost their frames;
  the header sniff looks for the acTL chunk, routes them to the animation
  pipeline (all frames + delays) and switches the UI to the animation
  options. The worker double-checks the header too, so no path can
  flatten an APNG.
- New dependency-free imageformat module, verified against real files
  (J-82 animated, static WebP/PNG, and a generated APNG named .png).

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.
