fix(system): read the database size the report sends

The Database line read database_info.size_bytes, a key the report does
not have (get_database_info answers database_size_bytes), so it always
read "Readable · 0 bytes · N images". The browser test now requires a
non-zero size. Found by PR 3's concept comparison.

+## Background threads at exit
+
+PromptManager's own background threads stop through one package teardown,
+`_stop_background_work()` in `__init__.py` (#301, #302). It runs once and
+works against one 10 s deadline. Each step gets the smaller of its own bound
+and the time left. The steps, in order:
+
+1. Refuse new previews (`refuse_auto_thumbnails()`), then detach the
+   monitor's callbacks (Needs review recorder, preview queue, Images listing
+   listener).
+2. `ImageMonitor.stop_monitoring` works against one 5 s deadline. Closing the
+   image handler joins the image worker; watchdog's `observer.stop()` (not
+   bounded here) and the observer join get what is left, which can be 0 s.
+3. `close_auto_thumbnails(final=True)` stops the preview worker (30 s) and
+   kills ffmpeg.
+4. `PromptTracker.shutdown` stops the prompt cleanup thread (2 s).
+
+A failing step, or a second Ctrl+C, is logged with its traceback and does not
+skip the later steps. A clean run logs one INFO line to PromptManager's log:
+`Background work stopped in 0.4 s: monitor=ok thumbnails=ok tracker=ok`. If
+any part is still running, one WARNING goes to the console:
+`Background work not stopped in time (10.0 s): monitor`. A Ctrl+C that lands
+between two steps (each step catches its own) is re-raised after the result is
+stored, with the parts not reached False, and the `atexit` callback is
+removed: the later steps are skipped, no summary line is logged, and a later
+call returns that result and runs nothing.
+
+ComfyUI never runs aiohttp's `on_cleanup` hooks, because it never calls
+`runner.cleanup()`. So `atexit` is the live host's path. It runs on Ctrl+C
+(`main.py` catches `KeyboardInterrupt` and returns) and on a normal exit.
+The teardown is registered after the execution history hook, so at exit
+(newest first) it runs before the history writer's 2 s dispose.
+It also runs from `on_cleanup` on hosts that do run it (our test servers) and
+from the tests' package unload (`cleanup_package`), and it removes its own
+`atexit` callback. Nothing runs when the process is killed: SIGTERM, a
+ComfyUI-Manager restart through `os.execv`, a closed Windows console, or
+ComfyUI Desktop stopping its server. SQLite's WAL journal covers those.
+
+Stop contract: `PromptTracker.shutdown(timeout)`,
+`ImageGenerationHandler.shutdown(timeout)` (restartable),
+`ImageGenerationHandler.close(timeout)` (final: `schedule()` refuses and a
+sealed run's re-check is dropped) and `ImageMonitor.stop_monitoring(timeout)`
+each signal their thread and join it within the bound. They return True only
+when it ended, and log a warning naming the part when it did not. Called on
+their own thread, they only signal.
+
+Test rules:
+
+- Every test that constructs a real `PromptTracker`, `ImageGenerationHandler`
+  or `ImageMonitor` ends with its final stop and an assertion
+  (`tests/background_stops.py`: `close_handler`, `stop_monitor`,
+  `stop_tracker`). The stop comes before the folder and databases are removed.
+  `tearDown` runs before `addCleanup` callbacks, so a class whose `tearDown`
+  removes files stops the thread there.
+- A test waits for a state through an `Event` set by the code under test, or
+  by a wrapper around it, with a 30 s ceiling. It never sleeps or polls for
+  that state.
+- A test that asserts "still running" first waits for an `entered` event
+  inside the held call, then stops with `timeout=0.05`.
+- A test that asserts a history writer's `dispose()`/`close()` is True right
+  after queuing work drains first (`drain_writer`), or holds the write itself
+  (#370).
+- Patch the module attribute of the code under test (for example
+  `utils.prompt_tracker.time`, or the package's `_clock`), or patch with
+  `wraps=`. Never replace a `time` or `atexit` function for the whole
+  process.
+- `tests/test_package_exit.py` runs a child process that imports the
+  package, leaves the image worker alive and returns. Its `atexit` reporter
+  checks the teardown's result. This is the interpreter path ComfyUI takes
+  after Ctrl+C, on all three OS.

+**Linked-only gate and the layout cache (#362).** While the integration is on, the LoRA
+allow-list (`ImagesMixin._lora_image_dirs`) is the layout's `media_roots` plus the CivitAI
+download cache, and `_media_roots(outputs)` appends it after the output folders for Library
+previews, the Library prompt detail, the per-prompt images page, `serve_output_image` for a
+root past the outputs, `inspect_image` and `reveal_image`. Under such a root only a file the
+database records as a linked image is served, inspected or revealed (`_linked_only_error`,
+by its given and its real path); anything else answers 403. Library responses mark that
+media `linked_only`: no preview file, no favorite, no Tag button. The allow-list's layout
+comes from `py/lora_layout_cache.py` (`tests/test_lora_layout_cache.py`, which injects the
+clocks, `stat` and `ntpath` and never sleeps): one entry keyed by the stripped configured
+path, reused while the plugin settings file's and the settings file's `(st_mtime_ns,
+st_size)` (or "missing") are unchanged, the install and every media root still resolve to
+themselves (a folder swapped for a symlink reloads and the guard runs again), and the entry
+is under `MAX_AGE_SECONDS` (30 s, monotonic clock) old. A load is stored only when no
+watched file was modified within `RACY_SECONDS` (3 s) of the load (git's racy rule: a write
+during the load, LoraManager's in-place write, FAT/HFS+ coarse times), every watched file
+could be checked (any `stat` error but not-found, and an offline Windows share, is "cannot
+validate"), the settings were readable, and no `clear()` ran meanwhile (generation
+counter). Hits take no lock; concurrent misses each load. A finished import (System job or
+legacy scan, both through `replace_lora_imports`) clears it. The integration-off check runs
+before it, and the configured-path rule (a configured path that is not an install under
+`custom_nodes` adds no folders) on its result; a hit also needs the same home folder, which
+the guard compares against. `serve_image` builds the allow-list in the
+executor. The cache writes one INFO line, "LoraManager layout changed: <source> settings,
+<mode> storage, <n> media folders", when a stored layout differs from the last one logged.
+The review, Start, the legacy scan and the trigger cache read the layout fresh. Image route
+tests clear the per-process cache in `ImageRouteCoverageCase.setUp`; `write_settings` in
+`TestLoraManagerMediaServing` back-dates its file 10 s so the first load is stored.
+
 `tests/browser/workspace_integrations_fixture.py` (`/__test__/integrations/*`) makes a fake
 LoraManager install and LoRA folder under the server's temp root, holds or fails the
 import, saves a blocking pair and answers CivitAI downloads with a stub opener, so no
 test reaches the network.

+System › Auto-tagging (`web/js/workspace/system-tagging.mjs`, D132–D134) edits one

+(`wd14-swinv2`, `wd14-vit`, `gguf`, `hf`), `existing` (`skip`, `merge`,
+`replace_after_review`), `general_threshold` and `character_threshold` (0–1 in
+steps of 0.05, #369),
+`template` (non-blank, at most 4,000 characters and 16 KiB) and `suggestion_limit`
+(1–100). They are host drafts (`autotag_model_type`, `autotag_existing`,
+`autotag_general_threshold`, `autotag_character_threshold`, `autotag_template`,
+`autotag_suggestion_limit`) saved by the one Save row through `POST
+/prompt_manager/settings` with `expected_revision`; a bad value is refused with a 400
+naming the setting by its row label ("General-tag confidence must be between 0 and
+1."), nothing is written, the Save row shows that sentence (`invalid-setting`, set by
+`settingRefusal` in system.mjs only for a save that carried `autotag_*` keys; every
+other section's plain 400 keeps the generic status) and the control is highlighted.
+The template's limit counts code points, as Python's `len` does. A hand-edited bad value
+falls back to its default on load, one key at a time. Every page shows the thresholds in
+steps of 0.05 (the System rows, the Tag image dialogs, the legacy sliders), so a saved
+threshold off that grid is refused ("General-tag confidence must be a multiple of
+0.05.", `validate_saved_threshold`; `draftProblem` holds back Preview tagging review and
+the batch Review with the same sentence) and falls back on load; an accepted one is
+stored exactly on the grid (#369). A per-request threshold keeps its own check: `/image-annotations/suggest` and
+`/jobs/autotag` take 0–1; the legacy `/autotag/single` and `/autotag/start` only require a number. `GET /autotag/models` reports the
+saved values (`wd14_general_threshold`, `wd14_character_threshold`, `suggestion_limit`,
+`default_prompt`, `model_type`, `existing`), so the Tag image and Auto-tag selected
+dialogs start from them; a preset (the bulk review, Preview tagging review) wins.
+
+`GET /prompt_manager/autotag/models` reads the disk in the executor, never loads or
+downloads a model and carries no absolute path: per engine `name`, `label`,
+`size_label`, `description`, `size`, `downloaded`, `loaded` (GGUF also `model_exists`,
+`mmproj_exists`), plus `model_loaded` and `loaded_model_type`. Opening the section
+makes exactly one such read per mount (`entering the section makes no model call
+besides status`).
+
+One model gate (`py/model_gate.py`) covers download, unload, both batches, the legacy
+single-image tag, Generate suggestions and Auto-tag selected. A refusal is `409
+model-busy` with `operation`, the holder's label: the download job's title, "Tag output
+images", "Tag output images (legacy page)", "Tagging one image (legacy page)",
+"Unloading the tagging model", "Auto-tag selected images", "Generate suggestions", else
+"Another tagging operation". `ApiError.operation` keeps it (only on `model-busy`).
+
+- **Download**: `POST /prompt_manager/jobs/model-download {model_type}` starts the
+  `model_download` job (202), title "Tagging model download · <label>", admission
+  `read`, not cancellable, indeterminate (Activity's generic held view: no Cancel, a
+  `<progress>` without a value), holding the gate until it ends. A second download is
+  `409 busy`; the legacy SSE route attaches to the same job and keeps its frames.
+- **Unload**: `POST /prompt_manager/autotag/unload` answers `{success, message}` or
+  `409 model-busy`.
+- **Tag output images**: `POST /prompt_manager/autotag/batch/preview {model_type,
+  existing}` writes nothing and opens no file; it answers `images`, `prompts`,
+  `already_tagged`, `to_tag` (an upper bound), `model {type, label, size_label,
+  downloaded}`, `existing`, `review_required`, `backup {policy}` and `disk`. `POST
+  /prompt_manager/jobs/autotag {model_type, existing, options}` (WD14: both thresholds;
+  GGUF/HF: `instructions`, the template) starts the cancellable `autotag` job (202),
+  title "Tag output images", admission `records`, a safety backup by the policy first.
+  Refusals: `400 review-required` (Replace after review never runs as a batch), `409
+  model-unavailable` ("<label> is not downloaded. Download it in System ›
+  Auto-tagging."), `507 insufficient-space`, `409 busy`, `409 model-busy`. The section
+  toasts `model-busy` with its operation, the other three with the server's sentence,
+  `busy` with the running job (D57), anything else "<what> could not start. Try again.".
+  Outcomes: Tagged / Unchanged / Skipped / Errors (the `image-tags` descriptor, D111).
+
+No browser test downloads or runs a model: the injected `TestModel` answers, its
+`download_model` raises unless `/__test__/tagging/download {mode: hold | succeed |
+fail}` installs a fake that waits on a fixture event, and every tagging reset releases
+it. Every workspace-system-tagging test asserts no `/autotag/download/` request.
+Changing the routes or `py/config.py` needs a ComfyUI restart; the section itself is
+HTML, CSS and JS only.
+
+### Logs and diagnostics contract (#249 System S12)
+
+System › Diagnostics & logs (`web/js/workspace/system-diagnostics.mjs`, D109–D110)
+reads and deletes only through the routes below; the legacy admin Logs and Diagnostics
+modals use the same routes and keep working.
+
+- **Rule R** (`utils/logging_config.py`): a file may be deleted as a rotated copy only
+  when it is a direct entry of the log folder named `prompt_manager.log.<n>` (`<n>` a
+  decimal integer ≥ 1 with no leading zero, compared after `normcase`) and a regular
+  file that is not a link or junction (`lstat`). Every other entry is `active`, `link`
+  or `other` and is never deleted. `/logs/files` rows carry that `kind`; links are listed
+  with their own `lstat` size and are not counted or sized by `/logs/stats`. A download
+  is served only for a regular, non-link file of the folder (a link, a folder or a name
+  not listed is 404), read off the event loop.
+- **Reviewed cleanup**: `POST /maintenance/preview {operation: "rotated_logs", options:
+  {}}` lists every rotated copy (basenames, size and time) and writes nothing; `POST
+  /maintenance/apply {token}` starts the `maintenance` job "Rotated log copies"
+  (admission `read`, not cancellable). Under the manager's files lock and every file
+  handler's lock it re-scans; when any listed file is missing, no longer rotated or
+  differs in size, `mtime_ns` or a non-zero inode, it deletes nothing and fails
+  `plan-changed` ("The log files changed since the review; nothing was deleted. Review
+  again.", Activity offers Review again). Otherwise it deletes exactly the listed files;
+  each is a Changed row ("Deleted · <size>"), a file that cannot be removed an Errors
+  row. Two Prompt Manager processes sharing one log folder are not locked against each
+  other: each file's identity is checked just before its unlink.
+- **Clear all logs** (`POST /logs/truncate`, also the admin page's Clear) empties the
+  active log through its handler, deletes the rotated copies (Rule R) and clears the
+  buffer; other files and links are kept. Response keys are unchanged.
+- **Runtime settings** (`GET/POST /logs/config`): the level (DEBUG…CRITICAL) and console
+  logging apply until the server restarts; the retention values are shown read-only in
+  the workspace and the API keeps accepting them.
+- **Report** (`GET /system/diagnostics`): built on the server from an explicit list of
+  fields (version, Python, platform, Viewer.js version, the four legacy checks, database
+  info, source counts, log configuration and statistics, the session's health summary
+  and the non-path configuration with `has_civitai_api_key`). Every path is relative to
+  a ComfyUI anchor or reads "outside ComfyUI"; a backstop scrub replaces any absolute
+  path or the saved key and counts it in `redacted`, which the tests require to be 0. It
+  takes a registry lease (409 `busy` while an exclusive job such as a restore runs).
+- **Compressed downloads**: the gzip middleware drops a handler's declared
+  `Content-Length` before it compresses a body, so the response declares the compressed
+  length. A stale length made a browser wait for bytes that never came: the log download
+  of any file over 1 KB hung (`test_compressed_body_declares_its_own_length`).
+
+The browser server writes its logs into `<server root>/logs`
+(`tests/browser/workspace_diagnostics_fixture.py`), whose hooks seed records with fixed
+times, rotated copies, a link (POSIX) and a user's `.bak`, and roll the copies over; no
+test reads or deletes a real log folder.
+

+"""The shareable diagnostic report (#329 System S12).

+``GET /prompt_manager/system/diagnostics`` answers a report built on the
+server from an explicit list of fields: the project and Viewer.js versions,
+Python and the platform, the four checks of the legacy ``GET /diagnostics``
+(one helper, ``admin.legacy_checks``), the database's public info, source
+counts, the log configuration and statistics, the last health summary and
+the configuration keys that only ``config.json`` holds. It never copies
+``PromptManagerConfig.get_config()``: no path leaf is listed, and the CivitAI
+key is reported only as ``has_civitai_api_key``.
+
+Every path in the report goes through ``report_path``: relative to the
+closest public anchor that is not a filesystem root, else ``"outside
+ComfyUI"``, never a basename that could be a user name. As a backstop,
+``scrub`` replaces any string that still looks like an absolute path, holds
+the saved key or the home folder (with or without its root), and counts each
+replacement in ``redacted`` (0 for a correct builder).
+
+The report opens the database, so it takes a registry lease: it is refused
+(409 ``busy``) while an ``exclusive`` job (a restore) runs, and a restore
+waits for it. It is built off the event loop.

+"""A per-process cache of LoraManager's layout for the image hot paths (#362).
+
+Every Library list, prompt detail, inspect, reveal and serve request needs the
+LoRA allow-list (``ImagesMixin._lora_image_dirs``). Building it means finding
+the LoraManager install, reading its plugin settings file and its settings
+file, and resolving every folder. ``LayoutCache`` keeps the last result and
+reuses it while all of these hold:
+
+- the key (the configured install path, stripped) and the home folder the
+  folder guard compares against are the same;
+- the entry is younger than ``MAX_AGE_SECONDS`` (monotonic clock);
+- the plugin settings file and the settings file have the same signature
+  (``st_mtime_ns``, ``st_size``, or ``MISSING``) as when it was stored;
+- the install and every stored media root still resolve to themselves (a
+  folder swapped for a symlink reloads, so the folder guard runs again).
+
+A result is stored only when no watched file is "racy" (modified within
+``RACY_SECONDS`` of the load, git's rule for racily clean index entries),
+every watched file could be checked, the settings file was readable, and no
+``clear()`` ran during the load. What each rule covers: signatures catch a
+settings change on the next request; the racy rule catches a write during the
+load, a half-written file and coarse timestamps; the maximum age bounds the
+inputs no signature sees (``extra_model_paths.yaml``, environment, temporary
+failures); ``clear()`` makes a finished import's new folders servable at once.
+
+Hits and loads take no lock: a slow ``os.stat`` on a network share holds up
+only its own request, and two threads that miss together both load (both
+loads only read). A short lock guards the compare-and-store and the logging
+state; no file I/O runs under it. Standard library only, so it is tested
+without ComfyUI or LoraManager.

+The logger writes into ``<server root>/logs`` (``repoint_logs``, called by

+real log folder. Every route refuses a log folder outside the server root.
+
+- ``POST /__test__/logs/reset`` restores the default logging configuration,
+  empties the active log, removes every other entry of the log folder (a
+  link is removed, never followed) and clears the in-memory buffer. The
+  global ``/__test__/reset`` calls it too;
+- ``POST /__test__/logs/seed`` ``{records, filler, rotated, active, link,
+  other}`` writes buffer records with fixed times (``records``: the concept's
+  four lines, then one DEBUG, ERROR and CRITICAL record, older; ``filler``
+  more INFO records older still), ``active`` bytes into the active log,
+  rotated copies ``prompt_manager.log.<n>`` of the listed sizes (fixed
+  times), on POSIX a symlink ``prompt_manager.log.<n+1>`` to a file outside
+  the folder (``link``) and a user's ``prompt_manager.log.bak`` (``other``);
+- ``POST /__test__/logs/rotate`` rolls the copies over as the handler does
+  (``.2`` → ``.3``, ``.1`` → ``.2``, a new ``.1``), so a reviewed plan no
+  longer matches;
