Thumbnail format (webp default, jxl, jpeg), quality (1-100, default 80)
and size limit (128-2048 px, default 512) are server settings in the
config.json thumbnails section, saved with the settings revision. The
never-read gallery thumbnail_size is gone: older saves wrote its unused
default 256 into config.json.
One module names previews (<stem>_thumb.webp/.jxl/.jpg) and finds the
preview a source owns, preferring the configured format; legacy names
are still found. The encoder module writes every preview atomically and
verifies it decodes. JPEG XL needs no new dependency: Pillow (natively
or with pillow_jxl), ffmpeg with libjxl, or cjxl; without one the
settings refuse jxl (400 jxl-unavailable) and GET says why. Encoder
processes are tracked, bounded and killed at shutdown.
