fix(inspect): final review round for the local Inspect page

- Each inline preview owns its listeners, so a released node is never
  pinned; a video released while still starting is reset with load()
  once it reports metadata or an error (I1).
- The viewer's video teardown on a just-started local video is guarded
  by a 15-page WebKit test; it needed no change (I2).
- The chooser keeps naming the current file after a cancelled picker
  and names the dropped file after an accepted drop (I3).
- The unrelated activity-scan.mjs floor raise is reverted (I4).
- The page owns pagehide: the viewer closes and the inline media goes
  before the session revokes the URL, and the chooser is cleared (M1,
  M2); the session gains clear() and the viewer close().
- The "metadata is available" toast shows only for readable metadata
  (M3); a rejected drop is a second, transient alert that never
  replaces the selection's status (M4).
- TESTING.md: D62/D63 updates, the WebKit loadstart follow-up and the
  pair-node follow-up (M5).

+### Tag image dialog and recorded deviations (#249 PR C)
+
+Every Images card and every Library-embedded gallery card shows Info then the
+concept's Tag (`app.js` mediaCard). Tag opens the concept's **Tag image** dialog
+(`web/js/workspace/image-tagging.mjs` over the C1 controller
+`image-tagging-state.mjs`) in the shared modal shell with the concept's
+`tagging-modal` class, so its `.dialog-actions` stay sticky while the content
+scrolls. Focus starts on × and returns to the Tag button. The preview is the
+capture's own `preview_url` (through `ApiClient.resolveUrl`): an `img`, or a
+`video preload="metadata" muted`. The capture is released on ×, Escape, Cancel,
+Save, a route change (the shell closes its dialog) and `pagehide`, which closes the
+dialog (a page restored from the back/forward cache shows no dead dialog); the
+release `DELETE` and the Save `PUT` are sent with `keepalive` (`ApiClient`'s
+additive option), so they finish while the page unloads. A save still in flight
+when the dialog closes keeps its capture until the `PUT` settles, then releases it
+and still reports the outcome: the saved toast and every page's refresh, or the
+failure as a toast. Generate is explicit and uses the server's real defaults
+(`GET /prompt_manager/autotag/models`), and the fields show exactly those values
+(they are re-rendered when the observation lands and on a model change, never while
+typing); an invalid field reports native validity and sends nothing. A tag conflict
+shows the current set at once: the status line appends "Saved now: <tags>." and the
+manual field holds the current set ahead of the draft (repeats dropped), so the next
+Save sends what is shown against the current revision. Save writes the manual
+names, then the remaining chips, deduplicated case-insensitively (first spelling
+wins), and toasts the mock's copy verbatim, "<n> tags saved for <filename>." even
+for one tag, plus " Prompt association still awaits review." from Needs review.
+Tagging one file never changes another file (an equal-byte copy included), a
+prompt, a pair or a link. States the mock lacks (generating, busy, conflict,
+changed storage or file, expired capture, unconfirmed save, unavailable model,
+video) are text in `#tag-generation-status` only; **Retry** (D116) leads the
+actions while the controller allows it, where the other workspace dialogs place
+their Retry. The Tags
+page re-reads its lists after every confirmed save, so the Images counts follow.
+
+The image-tagging plan's deviation numbers were renumbered by +23 because the
+Inspect plan keeps D60–D66 (plan D60 → D83, D61 → D84, D65 → D88, D68 → D91).
+
+- **D83** (plan D60, ruling T4): the suggestions are removable chips instead of
+  checkbox rows: `span.chip.tag-suggestion` in a `.tags` row, in the concept's
+  checked-row tokens (accent border, `--soft-blue`), each with the name, the
+  confidence (`98%` for WD14, "Suggested" for language models) and a × "Remove
+  <tag>". A chip has the concept `.chip`'s 4px corner (the later `.tag-suggestion`
+  row rule would give 5px) around the row's own 12px text. At most the requested
+  count, all preselected. While chips exist, ruling T4's "Remove anything you do not
+  want to add." (`p.small`) leads them inside `#tag-suggestions`; removing the last
+  chip shows "All suggestions removed. Generate again or enter tags manually." The
+  opening sentence is the concept's on-screen copy, "Generate suggestions with the
+  selected model before approving.": the concept's markup carries another ("Choose a
+  model… Uncheck anything…"), but its `renderTagModelOptions` (a1062–1076) replaces it
+  as soon as the dialog opens, so the opened state is compared unmapped.
+- **D84** (plan D61, rulings T1/T2): the Tagging model options are legacy's four
+  engines in the mock's order with legacy labels and sizes (`WD14 SwinV2 · ~400
+  MB`, `WD14 ViT · ~400 MB`, `GGUF JoyCaption (Recommended) · ~4.5 GB` in the
+  mock's Ollama slot, `HuggingFace JoyCaption · ~16 GB`); the instructions start
+  from the server's `default_prompt`.
+- **D91** (plan D68, ruling T3-bulk): a **Suggestions** number field (1–100) for
+  every model, prefilled from `autotag.defaults.suggestion_limit` (10); a model
+  change keeps it.
+- **D88** (plan D65, ruling T7/C2): the inspector's chip row (side panel and viewer
+  details, after the prompt blocks) shows the file's current image tags first (the
+  B3 envelope's `image_tags`, `state: "current"`, S1), then D21's linked tags not
+  already shown (case-insensitive, the image tag's spelling wins). In the Images
+  panel every image tag is a Tags filter `button.chip` (the filter matches image
+  tags too) and linked tags keep D21's rule; in the viewer, and wherever no Tags
+  filter exists (the Library-embedded gallery, Activity and recorded runs), every
+  chip is a plain `span.chip`. `none` and `unavailable` add no chips and no other
+  chrome; a malformed facet fails the inspection like any malformed field. The
+  concept has one row of the image's own tags (`i.tags`, app.js a402), so with the
+  concept image's tags saved as its image tags production still equals the concept.
+  After a Tag save the selected file's inspection is re-read, so the panel redraws
+  the row without reselecting and the viewer, which shares that inspection, shows it.
+- **D115** (beyond the plan's list): the concept always has a selected image, so
+  its "Auto-tag images" always opens the dialog. Production opens it for the image
+  selected in Images when it was last left; with none it is `aria-disabled` and
+  pressing it toasts "Select an image in Images first." (no new chrome).
+- **D116** (ruling T5): **Retry** leads `.dialog-actions` (before Cancel and the
+  primary) while a failed observation, a failed Generate, an unconfirmed save or an
+  answer that needs a fresh observation (changed storage or file, expired capture)
+  can be retried; the concept has no failure states, so it has no Retry. After a
+  failed Generate it takes Generate's own path (an invalid field reports its
+  validity); an unconfirmed save resends the identical body; after a changed storage,
+  file or expired capture it observes again and keeps the typed draft (when the saved
+  set changed meanwhile, the current set leads the draft and the status line says
+  "The tags of this image changed since the dialog opened. Saved now: <tags>.").
+  Browser tests: "D116: Retry leads the actions after an unconfirmed save…", "D116:
+  Retry after an expired capture observes again and keeps the typed draft (M5)" and
+  the paired `production-unknown-outcome` capture.
+- **D29** (no prototype copy) in the dialog: no "Prototype · suggestions are
+  simulated…" note, the status reads "Suggestions from <model>. Approve tags to save."
+  (not "Sample suggestions from …"), and the toast has no " in this tab".
+
+After a confirmed save the selected file's inspection is re-read quietly: the panel
+and the viewer keep the current details until the new answer lands, with no "Loading
+file details…" in between (`createInspectionController().refresh()`). While a Tags
+filter or a search is active the saved file may start or stop matching, so Images
+re-reads its loaded range in place (`createImageStream().refresh()`: the same query
+from the first page until the loaded count, published once). The cards, the scroll
+position and the selection stay while the selected file still matches; when it no
+longer does, the panel follows the collection (its first file), as after a reload,
+and the selection bar keeps only the checked files still listed, so its count is what
+Set category and Export metadata apply to. A refresh never runs beside a page load
+already in flight: asked during one, it is pending and runs once that page settles
+(success or failure; a reset drops it), and Load more waits for a running refresh
+(it neither loads nor moves focus). The re-read asks for pages as large as the rest of
+the loaded range (at most 200 files, at least one batch), one after another (each
+cursor comes from the page before); a failed re-read toasts "Images could not be
+refreshed after the tag save. Refresh image collection to retry." and keeps the
+cards. A save made while Images is left (Tags › Auto-tag images) marks a saved Images
+visit with a Tags filter or a search stale: returning lists it again with its
+filters instead of restoring the old cards. Browser tests: "the post-save re-read
+keeps the panel content until the new read lands", "a save under a Tags filter
+re-reads the listing: …", "a save under a search keeps the scroll position and the
+loaded range", "a failed listing re-read after a save says so and keeps the cards
+(M2)" and "a tag save from Tags reloads a filtered Images visit instead of restoring
+it (M6)"; the pending refresh and the page sizes are unit-tested.
+
+Concept comparison (`tests/browser/tagging-concept.spec.mjs` with
+`tagging-canonical-comparison.mjs`, plan Task C4): production runs on the concept
+fixture with the concept image's own tags (`cinematic, blue_hour, architecture`)
+saved as its image tags, and the fake model answers the concept's own sample
+(`/__test__/tagging/suggestions`: mountain 0.98, observatory 0.95, snow 0.88,
+blue_hour 0.81), so the dialog's inventory (order, text, field attributes, tokens,
+preview box, chips, status, sticky actions) must equal the concept's at 1600×1100 and
+390×844, dark and light: opened, generated with WD14 and generated with a language
+model, plus the empty result (the concept above its own threshold), the review-scoped
+dialog with its scope note and the card's Info and Tag group (M1). `mapConceptTagging`
+applies only D29, D83, D84 and D91; a mutation check (the model panel's border
+removed, the primary relabelled) shows the comparison notices a change. Every
+production-versus-concept difference of PR C and its record:

+`#/inspect` ("Inspect a file") is a native workspace route; it no longer hands off to

+inspector" card (`/prompt_manager/gallery.html`). The page is the concept's `#metadata`
+(app.js `renderMetadata` a740–748, selection a1715–1729; style.css 709–722, 1180–1194,
+1543–1545, 1559–1564) in the concept's own classes (`.surface`, `.file-drop`,
+`.spaced-20`, `.local-file-preview`, all from the synced `concept.css`), with no
+`workspace.css` override. One local image (PNG/JPEG/WebP) or video (MP4/MOV/M4V/WebM/MKV;
+AVI/WMV preview only), chosen or dropped, previews inline. The heading's one action opens
+the shared viewer with the full inspector on a record read entirely in this browser
+(`web/js/workspace/inspect.mjs`, `local-session.mjs`, `local-inspection.mjs` and the L1
+readers `png-metadata.js`, `local-video.mjs`, `local-projection.mjs`). Nothing is
+uploaded, imported or stored. Only HTML and JS change, so no ComfyUI restart is needed.
+
+Bounds (the server's own budgets, ported by PR L1; see "Follow-up: local Inspect parity"
+under "Chronological Library history" for the known divergences):
+- PNG: at most 10,000 chunks; keyword 1–79 bytes; every chunk range checked against the
+  File's size before slicing. Role records (`prompt`, `parameters`,
+  `comfyassets_prompt_pairs`) share 2 MiB encoded and 2 MiB decoded (over that, the read
+  fails); a workflow over 4 MiB is `limited`; duplicates are capped at 8 MiB (workflow)
+  and 4 MiB (roles, decoded `parameters`). The sum of slices read from any PNG, however
+  large or sparse, is at most 19,794,389 bytes.
+- Video: the same record rule over the container's tags (per-key carrier first, then the
+  `comment` envelope, then `description`); at most 10,000 boxes or elements; no slice
+  inside `mdat` or a Cluster beyond its header.
+- JPEG/WebP: at most 64 KiB, for dimensions only.
+- Response: 8 MiB of actual UTF-8 JSON; omission order workflow graph, prompt graph, all
+  raw. The whole File is never read with `arrayBuffer()`, `text()` or `stream()`.
+
+Privacy, asserted by `local inspection makes no content request or storage write` and
+`local roles send exactly` in `tests/browser/workspace-inspect.spec.mjs`, and by the
+managed-host spec below: no request carries the file's bytes, name or text (fetch, XHR,
+beacon, WebSocket, EventSource); Inspect writes nothing to `localStorage`,
+`sessionStorage` or IndexedDB; only an explicit Send crosses the host bridge, and its
+payload carries neither the `blob:` URL nor the filename; no console message names the
+file or quotes its prompts (asserted on the managed host). The selection's `blob:` URL belongs to one local session and is revoked once,
+on replacement, route change, unmount or `pagehide`, never while an element in the page holds it: the inline preview
+and, when it is open, the viewer drop their media first. The page, not the session, owns `pagehide`: it closes the
+viewer, releases the inline media, then ends the selection and clears the chooser, so a page restored from the
+back-forward cache shows an empty chooser beside the empty selection (`URLs and media end with their owning
+session`, which also leaves with the viewer open).
+
+Recorded deviations on this page (maintainer rulings LI-3, LI-6; plan "Mock inventory and
+mapped differences"):
+- **D60** (heading action, LI-3): "Open file metadata" (`ca-primary`) replaces the
+  concept's "Open sample metadata". It is `aria-disabled="true"` and
+  `aria-describedby="local-file-note"` (the drop note) until a classified selection is
+  ready, then opens the shared viewer on that file.
+- **D61** (copy, LI-3): the surface `p` reads "Read embedded metadata in this browser.
+  The file is not uploaded or added to your library."; the drop note "Your file stays in
+  this browser. Its metadata opens with “Open file metadata”."; the chooser label "Choose
+  an image or video for a local preview"; the toast "Local preview only. No file
+  uploaded; metadata is available above.". The h2 "Inspect without importing" is the
+  concept's, verbatim.
+- **D62** (accept and video): `accept` is the concept's
+  `image/png,image/jpeg,image/webp` plus `video/*,.mp4,.mov,.m4v,.webm,.mkv,.avi,.wmv`. A
+  video previews in the same `#local-preview` slot as `video.local-file-preview` with
+  native `controls`, `playsInline`, `preload="metadata"` and `muted`, never autoplays
+  inline, and is paused, has its `src` removed and is removed from the page on replacement
+  or dispose, before its URL is revoked. Each preview owns its listeners, so the page never
+  pins a released node. A settled video (metadata read, or failed) is then reset with
+  `load()` at once; one still starting is reset only once it reports metadata or an error,
+  because WebKit (GStreamer) blocked the page when such a pipeline was reset (`replacing a
+  video that just started loading never blocks the page`, `a video replaced while still
+  starting is reset once it settles`). A WebKit load cut off by the revoked URL usually
+  stalls and never settles; a fallback then only drops the waiting listeners. The viewer's
+  own video teardown was checked the same way (`closing the viewer on a video that just
+  started never blocks the page`, 15 fresh pages on WebKit) and needed no change.
+  Follow-up: on WebKit, a video released exactly at its `loadstart` sometimes blocks the
+  page, with or without any reset and also before the deferred reset (2 of 24 runs in the
+  pinned image), so the `loadstart` spec is skipped on WebKit until that is investigated.
+- **D63** (status line): one `p.small.spaced-16` in `#local-preview`, for states the
+  concept never shows: "Drop one file at a time.", "Folders cannot be inspected. Choose
+  one image or video file.", "This file type cannot be previewed or inspected here.
+  Choose an image or video file.", "The preview could not be displayed. Metadata and the
+  original remain available in the viewer." and "Embedded metadata could not be read."
+  (the shared inspector's own copy) are `role="alert"`; "Metadata in AVI and WMV files
+  is not read here. The preview and the original remain available." is `role="status"`.
+  A rejected chooser or drop ("Drop one file at a time.", folders, an unsupported drop)
+  keeps the selection and its status line: its alert is a second line after it, removed
+  by the next selection attempt or after the concept's toast interval (6.5 s). The toast
+  "Local preview only…; metadata is available above." shows only for a selection whose
+  status is empty or the AVI/WMV note, never beside an unreadable or failed preview.
+- **D64** (drop, LI-6): `dragover`/`drop` on `.file-drop` accept exactly one File, read
+  only `dataTransfer.files`/`items` (never its strings) and change nothing visually.
+  While the page is mounted, `window` `dragover`/`drop` call `preventDefault`, so a missed
+  drop cannot navigate away. A drop is ignored while a dialog is open.
+- **D65** (no revoke on load): unlike the concept, the preview's `blob:` URL is not
+  revoked on `load`: the viewer and Download original use it until the session ends.
+- **D66** (local rail, in `file-inspector.mjs` for `identity.kind === 'local-file'`): the
+  viewer and rail title is the filename; "File & provenance" opens with "Selected local
+  file · read in this browser", lists Source, Size, Dimensions, Format, Media type and
+  Modified with no Path row and no Show in folder, and ends with "Local file; no saved
+  library association was checked." and Download original. There is no Prompt history
+  action and no category or tag chips.
+
+The chooser keeps naming the chosen file, as the concept's does: it is cleared as the
+picker opens (so choosing the same file again is a new selection), not after `change`,
+and named again with the current File (through a `DataTransfer`, which fires no
+`change`) when the picker is cancelled. An accepted drop names the dropped file, so the
+chooser never names a replaced file and never reads "No file chosen" beside a selection.
+
+Legacy floor (`web/metadata.html`), dispositions:
+- PNG by chooser and by drop: kept (`#local-file`, D64).
+- Positive and negative with Copy: kept, in the shared inspector's prompt blocks.
+- Full text (the old "Show more"): the prompt blocks show the whole text.
+- Raw workflow view and Download workflow JSON: kept, in "Workflow & raw metadata".
+- Copy all summary and filename copy (LI-4): the filename is selectable text in the rail
+  and Download original saves the file under its name. The ruled "Copy settings summary"
+  button after the six facts of the shared full inspector is not part of PR L2; until it
+  lands, the legacy page keeps COPY ALL and stays reachable from Overview.
+- Fully browser-local reading: kept and asserted (privacy above).
+- Case-variant keys `Workflow|comfy|ComfyUI|Prompt|Parameters` (LI-5): a separate
+  backend issue; Inspect follows the server's readers, so the two never disagree.
+
+`tests/browser/inspect-concept.spec.mjs` compares the page with the immutable concept's
+`#metadata` on the concept fixture, at 1600×1100 and 390×844 in both themes, on Chromium
+and touch, in three states: initial, selected (`f02.png` from the parity corpus set into
+both `#local-file` inputs with a real `setInputFiles`) and viewer-open (the heading
+action). `withProductionCopy` applies D60–D62 to the open concept page before it is
+measured (it throws if the concept's own copy changed), so the browser lays the concept
+out with production's words; `mapViewerConcept` applies D66 (title, no tag chips, no
+Prompt history). The diff of the heading, surface, drop area (icon, label, input, note),
+preview and viewer (dialog box, layout below its header, toolbar control order, rail
+section order) must then be empty. Pinned values are asserted on production: surface
+padding 22px and radius 7px; drop area dashed 1px border, radius 7px, min-height 170px,
+gap 12px, padding 22px, margin-top 20px; h2 17px/600; p 12px; input 12px and
+max-width 100%; preview max-height 400px, `object-fit: contain`, margin-top 20px. The
+chooser's displayed name is asserted to be `f02.png` in both documents. `mutation is
+noticed` makes the drop border solid (noticed on all four sides and nowhere else),
+renames the label and removes the note. Paired captures
+(`{concept,production}-{initial,selected,viewer}-{dark,light}-{1600,390}.png`) and
+`inspect-geometry.json` are attached as test artifacts; there are no PNG baselines.
+
+`tests/comfyui/inspect-sender.spec.mjs` (`local file roles send exactly across renderer
+transitions`) runs on the managed CPU host: the Inspect page reads a PNG whose positive
+spans lines and whose negative is a ConditioningZeroOut (explicitly empty) and
+`core-tags.webm`, and sends each pair to a Prompt Manager (+/-) node in Classic and
+Nodes 2.0, switching both ways with a graph reload each time. Each send previews the
+node's current and new roles, writes exactly those roles, and neither queues nor loads a
+workflow. A connected `negative_text` input rejects the whole preview with no change. The
+workspace page makes no non-GET request and logs neither filename nor prompt text.
+Follow-up (pair node, separate investigation): the node's `text` widget ignored a value
+set after a `PrimitiveString` linked `negative_text` (it kept its prior value), so this spec
+and `library-sender.spec.mjs` set the positive before connecting the negative input.

+Image annotations schema (#249, `database/annotation_schema.py`): the group
+`media_annotation_metadata` (one row: schema version, `image_index_revision`),
+`media_annotation_files` (one private locator per physical file,
+`normcase(join(realpath(root), relative))`, server-side only),
+`media_annotation_bytes` (one record per observed whole-file SHA-256 with the
+`size`/`mtime_ns` verified when those bytes were last seen and the set's
+`tag_revision`) and `media_image_tags` (the ordered tag set of one byte record,
+joined into the global `tags` registry). It installs like favorites: optional in
+old backups, required once current (`annotation_schema_error`, the single
+`require_library_state` flag), validated read-only before and after a SAVEPOINT
+install and on restore, never backfilled and never stat-ing media
+(`tests/test_annotation_schema.py`). Writers (`database/annotations.py`) always
+supply the UUID ids, run in `_pair_transaction` fenced by the storage epoch, and
+replace or union one byte record's set (`tag-conflict` / `tag-limit` with the
+current set, identical retries `replayed`); vocabulary rename, merge and delete
+carry `media_image_tags` through the one `_move_tag_links` loop, and tag rows,
+impact and command receipts report `image_count` / `images` /
+`images_changed` as files (`tests/test_annotations.py`,
+`tests/test_pair_tag_maintenance.py`, `tests/test_vocabulary.py`). Cheap reads
+(spec amendment S1) use a byte record only while the file's current
+`(size, mtime_ns)` equals its verified fingerprint; an in-place rewrite that
+preserves both keeps the old set matching until the file is next observed. The
+Images Tags filter (a file matches when every tag is on its linked positive or
+its current image tag set) and `q` search stream the tagged records once and
+stat only the listed files whose records carry a filter tag or a `q` hit; the
+inspector's `image_tags` facet (`current` / `none` / `unavailable`) uses the
+inspection's own stable stat (`tests/test_api_workspace_images.py`
+`TestWorkspaceImageTags`, `tests/test_api_prompt_inspector.py`). The
+browser fixtures clear `media_image_tags`, `media_annotation_bytes` and
+`media_annotation_files` on reset and never the metadata row.
+
+Capture store (#249, `utils/media_capture.py`, `tests/test_media_capture.py`):
+one explicit action captures one rooted media file into an owner-only
+`prompt-manager-captures-*` temp directory, streaming it in 1 MiB chunks while
+hashing. Identity is compared like with like: the opened descriptor against
+the path only on the API-stable facts (`size`, `mtime_ns`); the full identity
+(`size`, `mtime_ns`, `ctime_ns`, `dev`/`ino` where meaningful) between the
+`fstat` before and after the copy and between the path stats before and after
+(native Windows CI with Python 3.12/3.13 showed `stat` and `fstat` disagreeing
+on `st_ctime_ns`: change time versus creation time; 3.10/3.11 agree). Any
+disagreement is `CaptureChanged` and the copy is removed. Error messages carry
+`strerror` only, never a path. Aliases (a symlinked
+file or directory, even inside the root), escapes, non-media names and
+directories are `CaptureDenied`; the locator is
+`normcase(join(realpath(root), relative))`, so a symlinked root shares the
+listing's identity. Fixed limits: 256 MiB per file (stat and stream), 8
+completed captures, 512 MiB reserved, 2 capture/verify workers, 900 s idle,
+1800 s hard; admission is nonblocking (`CaptureCapacity`) and lifetimes are
+tested with an injected clock. An acquired capture outlives expiry and release
+until its last use ends. Header-only dimensions (4096 px per side,
+16,777,216 px) and video mark Generate unsupported; `verify` re-hashes the
+current file without a copy. Every handle closes before unlink (a patched
+`os.unlink` asserts it, plus `assert_closed`), and files are unlinked outside
+the store lock. Known limit: on Windows before Python 3.13 `fstat` reports the
+creation time, so a same-size rewrite that restores `mtime_ns` during the copy
+window completes there with a digest of the copied bytes; POSIX and Windows on
+3.13+ detect it through the descriptor's change time (native CI, 3.13 only).
+Vocabulary rename, merge and delete bump the `tag_revision` of every image set
+they change (and `image_index_revision`), so a Tag dialog opened before the
+change gets `tag-conflict` on Save (`tests/test_pair_tag_maintenance.py`).
+A case or Unicode spelling of a listed name (`A.PNG` for `a.png`, an NFD name)
+is an alias too: each path part must be spelled as its directory lists it, so a
+case- or normalization-insensitive filesystem (macOS, Windows) cannot store a
+second locator. The capture preview answers one byte range with 206 (416 for
+an unsatisfiable or multi-range header) inside the capture's pin, and a
+cancelled preview, observe or Generate still closes its handle and ends its pin
+or capture (`tests/test_api_annotations.py` `TestCancellation`,
+`tests/test_model_gate.py`).
+
+Follow-ups (tracked, not accepted): the legacy Auto-tag batch's cleanup
+`unload_model()` in `py/api/autotag_routes.py` is not gated against the
+batch's own in-flight inference when the batch coroutine is cancelled (other

+Follow-up: local Inspect parity (#249 PR L1). The browser readers
+(`web/js/png-metadata.js`, `web/js/workspace/local-video.mjs`,
+`web/js/workspace/local-projection.mjs`) answer as the server does for the same bytes
+and a matching extension (`tests/test_local_inspect_parity.py`; the real-ffprobe cases
+skip without ffmpeg). The remaining known divergences, checked against ffprobe 9.0.2,
+`read_inspection_file` and `_metadata`, are tracked here, not accepted as parity:
+
+- Media kind comes from the bytes locally and from the extension on the server: a PNG
+  named `.mp4` is read as a PNG locally (format and size shown) while the server probes
+  it with ffprobe (no format, no size); MP4 bytes named `.png` read locally as video
+  while Pillow fails them on the server (`unreadable`). Parity is stated for the same
+  bytes with a matching extension.
+- JPEG dimensions: the local header read stops at 64 KiB, so a JPEG whose SOF follows
+  more than 64 KiB of APP segments (camera, Photoshop and EXIF/XMP workflow savers)
+  shows no dimensions, while Pillow reads them within the server's 8 MiB header bound.
+  The fix is a segment-header walk up to 8 MiB, which needs a plan amendment.
+- Classic QuickTime `moov/udta` text atoms (`©cmt`/`desc` with a 16-bit size and
+  language, outside `meta`) are not read locally; ffprobe reports them as
+  `comment`/`description`, so the server can select that envelope while the local
+  read is `absent`. No ComfyUI saver writes them.
+- Tag-size bounds count raw bytes locally and ffprobe's escaped JSON on the server
+  (first probe 12 MiB + 64 KiB, role-only re-probe 4 MiB + 64 KiB): only tag sets near
+  those bounds and dense with quotes or control characters can make one side re-probe
+  or fail while the other reads.
+- More than 10,000 container elements stop the local read (`limited`, metadata
+  `unreadable`); ffprobe reads such files.
+- An EBML DocType other than `matroska`/`webm` is an invalid container locally; ffmpeg
+  only warns and reads it.
+- Envelope JSON deeper than 1,000 levels is refused locally as Python's default
+  recursion limit refuses it; the server's real limit depends on the interpreter and
+  call stack. A duplicate key in an object enclosing a nest deeper than the running
+  Python's json limit is `malformed` locally and `limited` on that Python.
+- Decimal exponent limits assume CPython's C `_decimal`; on a `_pydecimal` interpreter
+  the server would read the over-limit exponents the local projection refuses.

+"""Per-image tag sets (#249): byte-exact storage in the shared vocabulary.
+
+A tag set belongs to one byte record (``media_annotation_bytes``): the
+whole-file SHA-256 of one physical file, owned by the file's private locator
+(``media_annotation_files``). Callers pass verified facts (digest, size,
+``mtime_ns``); nothing here reads the filesystem or resolves an owner through
+prompt links, so tagging one image never changes another image, a prompt or a
+pair.
+
+Commands run in one ``_pair_transaction`` fenced by the storage epoch, like the
+native Library and vocabulary commands. A save is a full replacement guarded
+by the set's ``tag_revision``; the identical set sent again (a lost-response
+retry, or the current set at its own revision) answers ``replayed: true`` and
+writes nothing. ``add_image_tags`` unions into the existing set, keeping the
+stored spelling. Names enter the global ``tags`` registry exactly as spelled,
+so vocabulary rename, merge and delete carry image links with prompt and pair
+links (``PromptDatabase._move_tag_links``).
+
+Cheap reads (spec amendment S1) treat a byte record as *current* only while
+the file's present ``(size, mtime_ns)`` equals the record's verified
+fingerprint; a file without a current record shows no image tags.

It does not invent chronological runs from counters or scan dates.
 - [Durable history storage](prompt-history-storage.md) records job attempts and outcomes from [#212](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/212), frozen prompt contexts from [#213](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/213), and observed run-owned output locators from [#214](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/214). Those locators do not verify file bytes or establish gallery-image associations. That association contract and the chronological execution timeline remain pending under [#209](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/209).
 - [#215](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/215) brings the shell, Images and natural-height Prompt Library presentation into the approved geometry and themes while retaining their existing operations. [#216](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/216) adds the shared current-file inspector with exact generation facts, scoped provenance, raw/download evidence and loaded-collection viewer controls, including a slideshow that pauses at native video. This delivery does not establish whole-application parity, change the default entry point or constitute a release. Recorded chronological run/context browsing continues under [#209](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/209); image tagging/review, System consolidation and remaining organization capabilities continue under #196.
+- Local Inspect (#249, PRs L1–L2) replaces the `#/inspect` handoff with the concept's native "Inspect a file" page: one local image or video previews inline and opens the shared viewer and full inspector on a record read entirely in the browser, with nothing uploaded, imported or stored. The legacy metadata page (`web/metadata.html`, served at `/prompt_manager/gallery.html`) stays reachable from Overview; its capabilities map to the shared inspector, except its one-click COPY ALL summary, whose ruled replacement ("Copy settings summary") is pending. Recorded deviations D60–D66 are in [TESTING.md](../TESTING.md). Local roles equal to the server's resolver follow in PR L3.

+# Local Inspect projection cases
+
+`local-inspect/projection-cases.json` holds synthetic record sets (prompt, workflow,
+parameters and pair-record texts, optional `record_formats`, a video `carrier_text`
+and `limited` records) that exercise every branch of the server's inspection
+projection: Python's Decimal spellings and exact-construction limits, the 4300-digit
+integer limit, duplicate keys, NaN/Infinity, the depth-64 and node ceilings, prompt
+node key filtering and the carrier rule. `records: null` stands for an unreadable
+file. `expect` pins both graph statuses; `needs` names an interpreter feature a case
+depends on. `tests/js/workspace-local-projection.test.js` runs them through
+`web/js/workspace/local-projection.mjs`, and `tests/test_local_inspect_parity.py`
+asserts that its answer equals `utils.inspection_response._metadata` byte for byte.
+All texts are original synthetic content, dedicated to the public domain under
+CC0-1.0.
