+### Needs review page and recorded deviations (#249 PR F)
+
+`#/review` is the concept's Metadata review page (app.js `renderReview` a749–760) over
+the review routes (`web/js/workspace/review.mjs`, `review-state.mjs`): breadcrumb and
+document title "Review" (the concept's), heading "Metadata review" with its line and
+**Open activity** (`#/activity`), the `.notice` "N images need a decision" with the
+concept's sentence, then `.gallery-layout`: the queue's concept media cards
+(`image-card.mjs`, shared with Images; the image opens the shared viewer, Info selects
+the item, Tag opens the shared Tag image dialog with the review scope note) and
+`section.surface` "Resolve the association" (filename, Tag image, Sampler context,
+the chosen path's prompt blocks, Leave for later and primary Apply association). The
+first item is selected on load, as the concept's first image is. Sampler context lists
+"Sampler <id> · <positive> / <negative>" per candidate (the server's label), disables
+unusable ones, preselects the first workable one and ends with "Leave unresolved"
+(rulings R2/R3); "Leave unresolved" shows the ambiguous status in both blocks. Apply
+takes a fresh capture (`observe`) and posts the decision; Leave unresolved on a file
+under no current root posts without a capture. Both actions return to Images (R7); a
+recorded decision re-reads the row's count, as does every metadata scan that ends. A
+refused decision keeps the selection and shows the server's sentence (the
+association conflict's explanation included) as `p.warning-note` in the panel; a
+restored storage or a changed queue reads the queue again; a request with no answer
+keeps its capture and body, and the next Apply of the same choice resends it once.
+The SAVED VIEWS row "Needs review" (review icon) follows Favorites with the exact
+pending count (`GET /prompt_manager/review/items?limit=1`, its `total`).
+
+- **D86** (plan D63, ruling R6): an empty queue shows only the notice, "No images need a
+  decision" and "Ambiguous images are added when a metadata scan or a new generation
+  finds more than one sampler path."
+- **D87** (plan D64): an ended metadata scan whose `scope.review_items` is above 0
+  carries the concept's **Review metadata** (app.js a738 `go-review`): in its Activity
+  item after the item's line, and in its job view's heading after Download report. The
+  item's chip still names its state (D54), where the concept's says "Needs attention".
+- **D119**: the queue cards have no selection checkbox and
+  no star (the page has no selection bar and the queue carries no favorite state); a
+  file under no current root has an empty, `aria-disabled` image button and Tag; more
+  than 40 items add the Images page's `.infinite-continuation` ("40 of 45 images",
+  Load more images) after the layout; loading and a failed read are the page's status
+  line (with Retry); a limited or unavailable file and the decision states are text in
+  the panel's `p.warning-note`; the toasts "Association accepted." and "Left
+  unresolved." replace the concept's prototype toast. The concept's "Sample review
+  queue" chip and "sample" wording are prototype copy (D29). When a re-read (below)
+  finds the open item gone, the next one opens with "<file> was decided elsewhere, so
+  the next image is open."; a failed re-read keeps the queue and says "The review queue
+  could not be read again. Reload the page to see the latest images." A queue card's
+  title is its file name and its line the extension only (an undecided item names no
+  prompt, and D11 omits the size and seed a queue item does not carry); its image's alt
+  is the file name; the panel's Copy and Send buttons carry no prompt title in their
+  names; the Tag image dialog opened from the queue heads with the file name. An
+  unavailable file's empty media button keeps the concept's 1.33 media area, so its
+  card lines up with the others. A long file name in the panel's `p.small` wraps inside
+  the panel (`overflow-wrap: anywhere`), where the concept's short sample name never
+  overflows. A queue card shows the Images listing's thumbnail when the server knows one
+  (`thumbnail_url`, the same URL the Images page uses), else the original; a re-read
+  rebuilds a card whose media, target or availability changed (a root came or went), so
+  Open and Tag follow it. When an unanswered decision's item leaves the queue in a
+  re-read, the decision was recorded: the page finishes as a recorded decision does (its
+  toast, back to Images), not with "decided elsewhere".
+- **D120** (the concept has no live-update state): while the
+  change stream is down, the heading carries the quiet status line "Live updates are
+  paused: changes made elsewhere appear once the connection returns." (`p.small
+  .review-live`, `role="status"`); the stream's next `ready` hides it.
+
+**Live queue (F2).** An open Needs review page holds one server-sent event stream,
+`GET /prompt_manager/review/events` (`py/api/review_events.py`): `event: ready` when it
+opens, then `event: change` after each committed queue change (an item the scan or the
+monitor recorded, a spelling refresh, a decision from any tab; `database/review_changes.py`
+notifies after the commit, from whichever thread wrote it) and after a restore. `change`
+carries no data. `ready` carries the queue's version `{library_epoch, review_revision}`,
+read after the stream subscribed, and every list read answers the same pair
+(`review_revision` is the review index revision, which every queue change moves; a
+restore moves the epoch). **One read per visit (F3):** the page re-reads on `ready` only
+when the queue it shows is older than that version (an unknown version, `{}` when it
+cannot be read, re-reads); a `ready` heard while the first read runs is compared once that
+read answers. The test server counts a stream as open only once it has sent `ready`, so a
+browser test that changes the queue after that count is a `change`, never part of the
+version. The page re-reads on every `change`, keeping the open item, its choice and an
+unanswered decision; re-reads asked for while one runs collapse into one more. A change
+heard while a decision is in flight is owed: a refused or unanswered decision reads it
+once the panel is idle again (a recorded one leaves the page). Load more asked for during
+a re-read waits for it and continues after the queue it read; a re-read started during
+Load more takes that click over and reads one page deeper, and a failed re-read leaves
+Load more clickable. Apply fences on the epoch of the detail it decides: an observe under
+another storage releases its capture and reads the queue and the item again, and any
+re-read under another epoch reads the open item again. **Every re-read keeps the loaded depth (F3):** it
+reads page after page (40 each, the route's limit) until it holds as many items as Load
+more had shown, so the cards stay and the scroll position does not move; a restore met
+after the first page reads once more from the first page. The row's count follows the
+total the page shows (no count read per change). Nothing polls: a `: keepalive` comment
+every 25 s only lets the server drop a closed tab's subscription. The server sends the
+first change at once and collapses the notices of the next 0.4 s into one trailing
+`change` (`COALESCE_SECONDS`), so a busy scan costs an open page one re-read per 0.4 s at
+most. Shutdown (`on_shutdown`) ends every stream and answers a later one 503. A
+reconnect the browser gives up on (a 503, or a proxy's error while ComfyUI restarts) is
+opened again by the page after 3 s, doubling to 30 s, with D120's line shown while
+the stream is down; its `ready` re-syncs the queue. The stream lives only while the tab is
+visible: a hidden tab closes it and a visible one opens it again, and that `ready` reads
+only when the queue changed meanwhile. A duplicate recording and a refused decision change
+nothing and send nothing. Residual: each visible Needs review page holds one HTTP/1.1
+connection (browsers allow six per origin, shared with ComfyUI's editor), so several
+side-by-side visible windows on the page, during a metadata scan's job stream, can still
+queue the origin's other requests; a re-read of a deep queue costs one request per 40
+items shown.

+concept's first three image names and sizes, and the concept's first prompt on the open
+item), and `mapConceptReview` applies only: D29 (no "Sample review queue" chip, no
+"sample" in the panel heading and Apply), D119 (above), D3 (the grid's
+`position: relative`), production's hooks and accessible names (`review-queue`,
+`review-panel`, the list roles, the region names) and sample data (the candidate options
+except Leave unresolved; widths and heights that follow from the changed copy, moved by
+exactly that much). It then matches at 1600×1100 and 390×844 in both themes on all four
+projects; the gallery layout follows the concept at 1600, 1200, 900 and 390px (310px,
+275px with a 15px gap, 280px, one column); the SAVED VIEWS rows match with Needs review
+after Favorites; the queue's Tag image dialog matches the concept's needs-review dialog
+(`needs-review-tagging.png`) under the C4 mapping; and the comparison is shown to notice
+a dropped notice border and reordered actions. The paired captures (populated queue in
+both themes and widths, conflict, limited item, unavailable file, empty queue) are test
+artifacts; no screenshot baseline is added. The comparison found one gap, the collapsed
+media area of an unavailable file's card, fixed above (`workspace-review.spec.mjs` "a
+limited item and an unavailable file …" pins it).

+### Native image tagging and Needs review (#249 PRs A–F)
+
+One place for the whole image-tagging slice; the details live in the sections named.
+
+- **Routes.** Tagging: `POST /prompt_manager/image-annotations/observe`, `GET`/`DELETE
+  /prompt_manager/image-annotations/capture/<token>`, `POST
+  /prompt_manager/image-annotations/suggest`, `PUT /prompt_manager/image-annotations/tags`
+  ("Tag image dialog and recorded deviations"). Needs review: `GET
+  /prompt_manager/review/items?limit=1..40&cursor=` (answers `library_epoch`,
+  `review_revision`, `total`), `GET /prompt_manager/review/items/<id>`, `POST
+  /prompt_manager/review/items/<id>/decision` and the change stream `GET
+  /prompt_manager/review/events` ("Needs review decisions and queue reads", "Needs review
+  page and recorded deviations"). Every legacy route keeps its payload; the only legacy
+  change is `409 model-busy` from the legacy Auto-tag routes while another model
+  operation holds the shared gate.
+- **S1 (fingerprint-current reads, ruled 2026-10-22).** The Images Tags filter, search and
+  the inspector/viewer chips use a byte record only while the file's `(st_size,
+  st_mtime_ns)` equals its verified fingerprint; writes hash the bytes. Residual risk
+  under "Image annotations schema".
+- **Capture limits.** 256 MiB per file, 8 completed captures, 512 MiB reserved, 2
+  capture/verify workers, 900 s idle, 1800 s hard; the browser fixtures release every
+  capture on reset, and leaving the Needs review page mid-decision releases its capture.
+- **The record-changing job.** Bulk Add tags and Auto-tag selected run as the
+  `image-tags` Activity job (PR D); like the metadata scan it is a record-changing job, so
+  a start while another runs is refused (`busy`). Needs review items come from that scan
+  and from the live monitor, and a decision changes links only when compatible
+  (`association-conflict` otherwise, with zero writes).
+- **No downloads.** No automated test downloads or loads a model: the browser server
+  injects `TestModel` (its `download_model` raises), native routes and jobs never
+  download, and every tagging spec asserts no `/autotag/download/` request.
+- **Restart.** PRs A, B, D and E and PR F (the review change stream, the queue version)
+  change Python: the maintainer restarts ComfyUI once after merging. HTML, CSS and JS
+  changes need only a browser refresh.

+"""Needs review change stream (#249 PR F2).
+
+``GET /prompt_manager/review/events`` is a server-sent event stream for an
+open Needs review page: ``event: ready`` when it opens, then
+``event: change`` after each committed queue change (an item the scan or the
+monitor recorded, a decision from any tab, a spelling refresh) and after a
+restore. The first notice is sent at once; notices in the next
+``COALESCE_SECONDS`` collapse into one trailing ``change`` (M9: a busy scan
+records file after file, and each event costs every open page a re-read).
+The page re-reads its queue on each ``change``; nothing polls. ``change``
+carries no data (``{}``). ``ready`` carries the queue's version
+``{library_epoch, review_revision}``, read after the stream subscribed, the
+same pair a list read answers: a page whose first read already answered that
+version skips the re-read (F3, one read per visit), and any later change is a
+``change`` event. Nothing else about the queue is pushed.
+
+A ``: keepalive`` comment every ``HEARTBEAT_SECONDS`` lets the server notice
+a closed tab (its write fails) and drop the subscription; clients ignore
+comments. Shutdown (``close_review_events``, an ``on_shutdown`` hook) ends
+every stream, and a stream asked for afterwards is a 503.

+ *   carry no prompt title;
+ * - D3: the grid keeps the Images grid's `position: relative` (its cards stay in its flow);
+ * - production's hooks and names: the `review-queue` / `review-panel` classes, the queue's list roles and name, the
+ *   panel heading's id (the region's name) and the prompt sections' region names;
+ * - sample data: the Sampler context's candidate options (the file's own evidence; the last option, Leave unresolved,
+ *   stays compared) and the widths that follow from copy the deviations above change (a card's text column, the
+ *   panel's action buttons; their gaps and right inset stay compared).
+ * Where that copy changes the height of a box, the boxes after it move by exactly that much: the stacked notice (390)
+ * loses the chip and its row gap; a card whose concept line wraps (390: "1536 × 1152 · PNG · Seed 42001") takes
+ * production's one-line height, its row of the grid shrinks by the most any of its cards lost, and in one column the

+"""Owned, deterministic Needs review items for the workspace page (#249 PR F).
+
+Each file is a PNG whose workflow has two samplers with their own positive
+encoders and one shared negative, so the resolver finds it ``ambiguous``. Its
+loader node carries ComfyUI's ``Infinity`` stamp, which the legacy pages'
+parser (the scan's fallback) cannot read, so nothing links the file and it is
+a Needs review case (#284: only ambiguous, unlinked files are queued). It is
+recorded through the producers' entry point (``record_review_file``). No path
+or SQL comes from a request.
+
+``POST /__test__/review/reset`` also takes the special items F2 needs, queued
+after the plain ones in this order:
+
+- ``conflict``: an item whose file was linked to another prompt ("Misty
+  forest path") after it was queued (the next scan or monitor pass would
+  remove the item); applying a sampler path then conflicts with that link.
+- ``limited``: a graph of 17 samplers, each with its own prompt, which the
+  recorder stores ``limited`` (more than 16 candidates, so none are stored).
+  An A1111 block with two negative lines is not queued any more: it offers
+  no candidate to choose (#284).
+- ``unavailable``: a file recorded under the ``temp`` directory while it was a
+  gallery root; the root is then removed again, so no current root lists it.
+
+``concept: true`` (F3, the concept comparison) names and sizes the plain
+files as the concept's first three images (app.js ``images``) and gives
+their first sampler the concept's first prompt (``alpine``: its positive and
+its first negative, the one the concept's panel shows), so the panel's text
+wraps as the concept's does.
+
+``POST /__test__/review/add {kind}`` adds one file while a page is open:
+``monitor`` records a new ambiguous, unlinked output from a worker thread
+through ``record_review_file`` (the monitor's own entry point; the monitor
+never queues an output it linked itself), ``file`` only writes one (a
+metadata scan records it). ``GET
+/__test__/review/links`` answers each review file's prompt and pair links, and
+``GET /__test__/review/streams`` the open change streams and captures.

+/**
+ * Needs review state (#249 PR F): the pending queue, the selected item's sampler paths and one explicit decision, over
+ * the review routes (`py/api/review.py`).
+ *
+ * - The queue is read 40 at a time, oldest first; `total` is the exact pending count. The cursor is bound to the
+ *   storage epoch only, so Load more keeps working while new items arrive.
+ * - Selecting an item reads its detail: one "Sampler <id> · <positive> / <negative>" option per candidate, unusable
+ *   ones disabled, the first workable one chosen, then "Leave unresolved" (rulings R2/R3).
+ * - Apply takes a fresh capture of the file (`observe`), then posts the decision; the server releases a capture it
+ *   used. A refused decision releases the capture and keeps the selection with the server's sentence as the warning;
+ *   a restored storage or a changed queue reads the queue again. A request that got no answer keeps its capture and
+ *   its exact body, and the next Apply of the same choice (`retry()`) resends that body once.
+ * - Leave for later writes nothing. Tagging the image (the shared Tag dialog) never changes the item.
+ * - `refresh()` re-reads the queue quietly when the server says the queue changed (F2: the review change stream:
+ *   a scan or the monitor added items, another tab decided one). The open item, its choice and an unanswered decision
+ *   stay; when the open item has left the queue the next one opens with a note. Refreshes asked for while one runs
+ *   collapse into one more read. Every re-read keeps the loaded depth (F3): it reads page after page until it holds as
+ *   many items as were shown, so Load more pages stay and the page does not jump.
+ * - `sync(version)` is the stream's `ready`: it re-reads only when the queue read last is older than the version the
+ *   stream names (`{library_epoch, review_revision}`, the pair every list read answers), so a visit reads its queue
+ *   once (F3). An unknown version re-reads.
+ * - A change heard while a decision is in flight is owed: it is read once the decision is refused or unanswered (a
+ *   recorded one leaves the page). Load more asked for during a re-read waits for it and continues from the queue it
+ *   read; a re-read started during Load more takes the click over and reads that page too.
+ * - Apply fences on the epoch of the detail it decides: an observe under another storage releases its capture and
+ *   reads the queue and the item again. An unanswered decision that a re-read shows landed finishes as recorded.

+/**
+ * Needs review (#249 PR F): the concept's Metadata review page (docs/concepts/workspace/app.js `renderReview`
+ * a749–760; style.css s407–415, s796–814 and their breakpoints) over the review controller (review-state.mjs).
+ *
+ * - Heading "Metadata review", its line, and **Open activity** (`#/activity`).
+ * - `.notice`: "N images need a decision" and the concept's sentence; with an empty queue, D86 (plan D63, ruling R6)
+ *   "No images need a decision" and the scan/new-generation sentence, and nothing else.
+ * - `.gallery-layout`: the queue's concept media cards (image-card.mjs; the image opens the shared viewer, Info selects
+ *   the item, Tag opens the shared Tag image dialog with the review scope note), then `section.surface` "Resolve the
+ *   association": filename, Tag image, Sampler context, the chosen path's prompt blocks and the actions Leave for later
+ *   and Apply association. Both return to Images (ruling R7).
+ * - States the concept lacks (loading, a failed read, a refused or unanswered decision, a limited or unavailable file)
+ *   are text: `p.warning-note` in the panel, or the page's status line (D119).
+ * - The open page re-reads its queue on each `change` of the review change stream (`/prompt_manager/review/events`,
+ *   F2): items a scan or the monitor added, and decisions made in other tabs. Each `ready` (the first one, and one
+ *   after the browser reconnects a dropped stream) names the queue's version, and the page re-reads only when the
+ *   queue it shows is older (F3: one read per visit). A re-read keeps the depth Load more had reached. Nothing polls.
+ * - The stream lives only while the tab is visible: a hidden tab closes it and a visible one opens it again, so
+ *   background tabs hold no connection (I4); the reopened stream's `ready` reads only when the queue changed meanwhile.
+ *   A stream the browser gave up on (a 503 or a proxy error on its reconnect) is opened again after 3 s, doubling to
+ *   30 s; while the stream is down the page says so in a quiet status line (D120, I3).
+ * - A re-read refreshes each card whose media, target or availability changed (M6). Cards show the Images listing's
+ *   thumbnail when the server knows one (M10).
+ * - The SAVED VIEWS row's count follows the total the page shows (`onTotal`), so a change costs no count read.
+ * - D119: the queue cards carry no selection checkbox and no star (this page has no selection bar, and the queue
+ *   carries no favorite state); more than 40 items add the Images page's `.infinite-continuation` Load more after the
+ *   layout; the toasts "Association accepted." and "Left unresolved." stand in for the concept's prototype toast.
