fix(workspace): revalidate served pages and static files on reload

The workspace pages and every file under /prompt_manager/js and
/prompt_manager/lib went out with no Cache-Control and no validator.
ComfyUI's own cache middleware only fills a missing Cache-Control for
paths ending in .js or .css, so the workspace's .mjs modules got no
header at all, and after an update the browser could keep running old
modules until a hard refresh.

Every page and static file now carries Cache-Control: no-cache and a
weak ETag over its bytes, and a request that already holds that version
gets a 304 without a body. A normal reload picks up new code and stays
cheap when nothing changed.

Closes #478

 ## Configuration
 
+### Where your library lives
+
+New installs keep the library (`prompts.db`, `config.json` with the CivitAI key, the
+database backups and the logs) in ComfyUI's system user folder
+`ComfyUI/user/__promptmanager/`. An update, a reinstall or ComfyUI-Manager replacing
+the node folder no longer touches it, and ComfyUI's `/userdata` web API does not
+serve `__` system folders. Thumbnails stay in `output/thumbnails`.
+
+- **Upgrading from an earlier version:** your library stays where it is, in the node
+  folder, until you move it; nothing is moved on its own. The workspace shows a notice
+  above every page and System › Overview a "Library location" row. **Move library**
+  copies the database with SQLite's backup API, verifies the copy (integrity check, every
+  workflow document, the same rows in every table), copies `config.json` and the backups,
+  switches to the new folder without a restart and only then renames the old files
+  `prompts.db.moved-to-__promptmanager` and `config.json.moved-to-__promptmanager` (never
+  deleted; the old backups stay too). If anything fails, the library stays in the node
+  folder, unchanged. **Keep it here** stops the notice; the Overview row stays. Take a
+  backup first (System › Backup & export or the dashboard's Backup) as with any change.
+- **Your own folder:** set `PROMPT_MANAGER_DATA_DIR` to an absolute folder outside
+  ComfyUI's output, input and temp folders and your image sources. If it is empty and a
+  node-folder library exists, that library stays in use until you move it there.
+- **An explicit `database.default_path`** in `config.json` and `PROMPT_MANAGER_CONFIG_PATH`
+  keep working as before (described below); such a library is not offered a move.
+
+### Thumbnails
+
+Previews in `output/thumbnails` are written as **WebP, quality 80, 512 px** by default
+(System › Appearance › Thumbnails sets the format, quality and size limit for every
+preview). Previews from older versions keep their old format (usually PNG) until you
+run **Convert outdated** (System › Overview or Appearance): it rewrites each one from
+its original and then removes the old file. Nothing converts on its own.
+
+**JPEG XL** (smaller still) can be chosen once the server has an encoder. Install one
+of these, then restart ComfyUI:

 ## Changelog
 
+### Unreleased (Library location)
+
+- **📁 Library outside the node folder**: new installs keep `prompts.db`, `config.json`, the database backups and the logs in `ComfyUI/user/__promptmanager/`, where an update or reinstall of the node cannot delete them and ComfyUI's `/userdata` API does not reach. An existing library stays in the node folder until you press **Move library** (a verified copy, then a live switch; the old files are renamed `*.moved-to-__promptmanager`, never deleted) or **Keep it here**. `PROMPT_MANAGER_DATA_DIR` names your own folder. After moving, restart ComfyUI once so the logs follow. Going back to an older version after a move: an older version does not look in `user/__promptmanager`, so stop ComfyUI and copy `user/__promptmanager/prompts.db` (with its `-wal` file, if one is left) and `config.json` into the node folder; the `*.moved-to-__promptmanager` files are the library as it was at the move, without later changes.
+
 ### Unreleased (Workflows stored once)
 
 - **🗜️ Smaller database**: each distinct workflow and prompt graph is stored once, compressed, instead of again for every image. Images recorded by this version use it from the first start; the maintenance job "Store each workflow once" rewrites the existing records and then reclaims the space. A 20,000-image test library went from 1.4 GB to 60 MB. The job always takes a verified backup first: the first time, `prompts.db.pre-workflow-storage_<date time>` beside the database, kept until you delete it; on later runs, a normal pooled safety backup. No image or video file is opened or changed.

+"""Image categories (#332): an image file's own category.
+
+An image shows its own category when it has one, otherwise the category its
+link supplies (its recipe's, else its positive prompt's); this table holds
+only the own values. A row is keyed by the file key: the deepest configured
+output source that contains the file (its real, case-normalized path) and the
+path below it, case-folded where the OS folds case
+(``py/api/images.py`` ``image_category_key``). Without nested sources the key
+equals a favorite's key. Nothing follows a moved file: its row stays and is
+hidden until a file appears at the same path again.
+
+Writes validate strictly (the route strips the value and applies
+``validate_category``). Startup checks the structure only, so a value saved
+under older rules never stops the library opening; restore also checks the
+values. Optional in old backups, required once a database is current.

+"""Move library (#249 S6b): copy the node-folder library, verify it, switch.
+
+``plan_move`` checks a ``utils.library_location`` location can move and
+sizes the copy; ``move_library`` does it, in this order:
+
+1. **Disk check** on the target's volume (the copy, the backups and
+   config.json, plus a margin). The source is never renamed across folders,
+   so another drive is simply a copy.
+2. **Copy** with SQLite's backup API from a private connection holding one
+   read transaction: the per-table counts, the workflow documents' digest
+   and ``PRAGMA data_version`` describe exactly the copied snapshot. The copy
+   is a temp file in the target folder, made self-contained
+   (``journal_mode=DELETE``), fsynced and owner-only.
+3. **Verify**: ``verify_database_file`` (integrity check, schema, every
+   workflow document decompressed against its hash, #315), the same row
+   count in every table and the same documents.
+4. **Copy files**: every pooled safety backup and pre-migration backup,
+   checked by size and SHA-256 after the copy (their times are kept, so the
+   pool prunes in the same order).
+5. **Publish** under the old database's write lock (``BEGIN IMMEDIATE``) and
+   the config.json lock: if any other connection wrote since the snapshot
+   (``data_version``), steps 2–4 run again (``attempts``, then
+   ``library-busy``). Else config.json is copied (owner-only, checked), a
+   ``pending`` marker is written, the temp files take their final names
+   (``os.replace`` inside the target folder), the marker turns ``moved``
+   and ``switch`` points the process at the new library while the old file
+   is still locked, so no write can land in it.
+6. **Retire**: the old file's WAL is checkpointed and the old ``prompts.db``
+   and ``config.json`` are renamed ``*.moved-to-<folder>`` (never deleted;
+   the old backups stay where they are). A file still open elsewhere is left
+   in place and reported (``old-in-use``): the marker already makes a restart
+   use the new library.
+
+Any failure before the marker says ``moved`` removes everything the move
+wrote in the target folder and leaves the old library in use, untouched.
+A crash at any point leaves either the old library in use (the marker is
+absent or ``pending``; the next move replaces its own leftovers) or the new
+one (``moved``). ``MoveFailed`` carries a code and a message without paths.

+"""A SQLite connection that is never closed under the thread using it.
+
+``PromptModel`` gives each thread its own connection, but Move library and
+``close_all`` must retire every thread's connection from one thread. Closing
+a ``sqlite3.Connection`` while its owner is inside a statement (Python runs
+``sqlite3_step`` without the GIL) frees memory the owner then reads: on
+Windows the process dies with "access violation", elsewhere the owner sees
+garbage such as a ``MemoryError``.
+
+``ManagedConnection`` counts the calls its owner is inside. ``retire()`` is
+safe from any thread and never raises: an idle connection is closed at once;
+one in use is closed by its owner as the call ends. A retired connection
+refuses new work (cursors, statements, commits) with the error a closed
+connection raises.
+
+What retiring a connection in use does and does not do:
+
+- It calls ``sqlite3_interrupt`` (thread-safe). That ends a running
+  statement at its next step, but it does not wake a statement that is
+  waiting for another connection's lock: that one waits until the lock is
+  released (or the busy timeout ends it), and only then is it interrupted.
+  An interrupt that arrives between two statements, for example between the
+  implicit ``BEGIN`` and the DML or between ``executemany`` rows, is lost.
+- Writes are kept out of a file the process has switched away from because
+  a retired connection never commits: legacy-mode DML runs inside a
+  transaction that only ``commit()`` (refused) or ``close()`` (rolls back)
+  ends. A statement that commits by itself is not covered: DDL or a PRAGMA
+  write outside a transaction, or an explicit ``COMMIT`` passed to
+  ``execute``/``executescript`` (``executescript`` also commits first, in C,
+  on Python before 3.12). Managed connections must never be used that way
+  for library writes.

+
+1. checks the source (``verify_database_file`` without reading every
+   workflow document: a damaged one is repaired below, not refused);
+2. copies it with SQLite's backup API (a rollback-journal file and a WAL file

+3. repairs damaged workflow documents (``repair_damaged_documents``),

+5. records the copy's SHA-256, so publishing binds exactly these bytes.

 - The native Prompt Library merged in [#210](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/210) for [#208](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/208): one positive parent, saved negative variants, full selected text and a shared filtered image gallery. 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.

+(one helper, ``admin.legacy_checks``), the database's public info, source

+
+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

+"""The staged LoRA reference import as a reviewed Activity job (#221, S10).
+
+``POST /prompt_manager/lora/import/preview`` (body ``{}``) reviews an import:
+it lists the LoraManager metadata files and parses them, and counts the
+current imports, those a saved pair uses and the example images an import
+would download. It writes nothing and requests nothing. It answers a
+``Plan`` (the maintenance plan's shape, ``py/api/maintenance.py``) plus
+``{lora_files, with_metadata, skipped, with_local_media, current_imports,
+blocked_by_pairs, planned_downloads, network:{planned_downloads, api_key},
+layout}`` (#355: ``layout`` says which LoraManager settings file, storage mode
+and library the import read, and ``error`` when they cannot be used). A plan
+that saved pairs block, or whose layout is unusable, carries no token
+(nothing can be applied).
+
+``POST /prompt_manager/lora/import/apply {token}`` starts the job (202
+``{job}``): kind ``lora_import``, titled "LoRA reference import", admission
+``records``, cancellable while it downloads only. Refused before it starts:
+``plan-changed`` (409: the metadata files changed since the review),
+``plan-expired``, ``plan-used``, ``storage-changed``, ``busy``,
+``insufficient-space`` (as maintenance). The job stages the records
+(downloads into the cache first, each counted in ``downloaded`` or
+``download_errors``), takes the safety backup the policy promises, then
+replaces the collection in one transaction bound to the reviewed imports. Any
+failure leaves the previous imports exactly as they were, and the job says so.
+
+The legacy ``POST /lora/scan`` runs the same stages (``stage_lora_import``
+and ``replace_lora_imports``) under its SSE event shape.

+
+``POST /prompt_manager/jobs/thumbnails {mode: "convert"}`` (and
+``GET /prompt_manager/images/thumbnails/plan?mode=convert`` for its count)
+starts "Convert outdated thumbnails": the thumbnail job's kind, ``guarded``
+admission (never beside a record-changing job such as a scan, a restore or
+a duplicate removal; one thumbnail job at a time), its worker threads and
+its outcome groups. Nothing converts on its own: changing the format in
+Appearance only makes previews "outdated".
+
+A preview is outdated when the file owns one in another format than the one
+written now (``writer_settings``: a legacy ``_thumb.png``, or a format
+switched away from). For each such file, at a file boundary (Cancel keeps
+what was converted):
+
+1. the new preview is written from the SOURCE media in the configured
+   format (``_generate_one``: atomic, verified to decode; a video whose frame
+   cannot be decoded fails rather than getting the placeholder), unless a
+   current preview at least as new as the source is already there and
+   decodes;
+2. only then are that file's old-format previews removed: regular files (no
+   links) in its ``thumbnails/`` folder, owned by that source
+   (``thumbnail_settings.owns``), with the source still present. One already
+   gone counts as removed.
+
+Files sharing a stem in one folder (``x.png`` and ``x.mp4``) share one
+preview (ruling R2), so they are converted once, as a group: the preview is
+made from the first source in ``thumbnail_settings.source_rank`` order
+(``.png``, ``.jpg``, ``.jpeg``, ``.webp``, ``.gif``, then videos), the old
+previews of every source in the group are removed, and each removed or
+written file's bytes count once.
+
+A failure keeps the old preview. Previews whose source is gone (orphans) are
+never planned, so never touched. The format the job converts to is fixed
+when it starts; Appearance refuses a thumbnail settings change while it runs
+(409), and should the format still change underneath, the job stops at the
+next file without removing anything in another format. The final status line
+reads "N converted · F failed · <bytes before> → <bytes after>".

+"""Thumbnail encoders (#317): every preview file is written here.
+
+``write_thumbnail(frame, dst, settings)`` encodes a prepared frame
+(``thumbnail_frame``: the first frame, RGB, fitted inside the edge) in the
+configured format into a hidden temp sibling, closes it, verifies that it
+decodes, and renames it over ``dst`` (``os.replace``), so a reader never sees
+a partial file and a failure keeps the old preview. ``guard()`` is asked just
+before the rename (automatic previews' holds, #249).
+
+Formats: WebP (Pillow, ``method=4``) and JPEG (Pillow, ``optimize``) always
+work. JPEG XL needs no new dependency; the first encoder found is used:
+
+1. Pillow, natively or through the ``pillow_jxl`` plugin (imported when
+   installed: ``pip install pillow-jxl-plugin``), given the quality itself;
+2. ffmpeg built with ``libjxl`` (``-distance``), fed a PNG on stdin;
+3. ``cjxl`` from libjxl (``-d``), fed a temp PNG that is closed first.
+
+Quality maps to a JPEG XL distance with libjxl's own
+``JxlEncoderDistanceFromQuality``: ``0.1 + (100 - q) * 0.09`` from 30 up
+(q80 → d1.9, q85 → d1.45, q90 → d1.0), the quadratic below 30, and q100 →
+d0.1 (a preview is never lossless). Pillow's plugin applies the same mapping
+inside libjxl. Detection is cached (``detect_jxl_encoder(refresh=True)``
+probes again); "none found" is probed again on the settings read
+(``encoder_status``) and after MISSING_ENCODER_TTL, so one slow probe never
+turns JPEG XL off until a restart. An encoder that fails because its binary
+or module is gone makes that write detect again: another encoder found is
+used for that file, none at all writes it as WebP (logged once) and
+refreshes what Appearance reads. Any other failure (one bad file) raises
+without a probe.
+
+Encoder processes (and ffmpeg's video frames, images.py) go through
+``run_encoder``: tracked, bounded by a timeout, and killed by
+``shutdown_encoders()`` at the app's cleanup, after which none starts.

+"""The staged LoRA reference import (#221, #249 System S10, #355).
+
+The import reads LoraManager's ``*.metadata.json`` sidecars and turns each
+LoRA into one prompt of the ``lora-manager`` category, tagged with its name and
+trigger words and linked to its images. It runs in three stages, and only the
+last writes to the database:
+
+1. **discover**: read LoraManager's settings the way LoraManager does
+   (``py/lora_manager_layout.py``: the settings file from the environment
+   folder, the portable plugin file or the user config folder; the LoRA
+   roots, the storage mode, the sidecar and example-images roots) and find
+   the sidecars (``discover``). In ``alongside`` mode a sidecar beside its
+   model is kept when ``<base>.safetensors`` exists; in ``centralized`` mode
+   every sidecar under the sidecar root is kept when its ``file_path`` names
+   a model inside a LoRA root. ``fingerprint`` covers every scanned sidecar,
+   kept or skipped (path, size, modification time, kept or not, #362) and the
+   layout; ``preview`` adds the counts a review shows. Nothing is written
+   and nothing is requested.
+2. **stage**: read each sidecar and build its record. Its LoraManager preview
+   and example images are linked where they are (``local_media``); only a
+   LoRA without any local image downloads its CivitAI example images into the
+   image cache first (best effort, counted). A cancelled or failed stage
+   leaves the database untouched; downloaded images stay in the cache.
+3. **replace**: the sidecars are found and fingerprinted once more (a file
+   changed, removed or added while staging aborts the import), then
+   ``PromptDatabase.replace_category_prompts`` swaps the old collection for
+   the staged records in one transaction (or changes nothing).
+
+Both the System job (``POST /lora/import/apply``) and the legacy ``POST

+"""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.

+"""Where LoraManager keeps its files (#355).
+
+LoraManager (``custom_nodes/comfyui-lora-manager``) stores one
+``<name>.metadata.json`` sidecar per model, a preview image or video beside
+it, and each model's downloaded CivitAI example images. Where it stores them
+is a user setting, and its settings file itself can live in three places.
+This module repeats LoraManager's own rules, reading its files only (never
+importing it), so the LoRA import, the trigger-word cache and the image
+server share one definition:
+
+- ``load_layout`` finds the settings file (environment folder, portable
+  plugin file, or the user config folder, in LoraManager's order), keeps only
+  the seven keys the import needs, and resolves the LoRA roots, the sidecar
+  root (centralized storage), the example-images root and the active
+  LoraManager library. Every folder from the settings, and each of
+  ComfyUI's default LoRA folders, passes the folder guard: it must exist and
+  must not be a filesystem root, the home folder or a folder that contains
+  it. Default folders the guard refuses are listed in ``refused_defaults``.
+- ``discover_sidecars`` finds every sidecar whose model file exists inside a
+  LoRA root: beside the models in ``alongside`` mode, under the sidecar root
+  (matched to its model by ``file_path``) in ``centralized`` mode.
+- ``local_media`` lists a LoRA's preview and example images that the image
+  server may serve.
+
+Standard library plus ``platformdirs`` only (LoraManager depends on it), so
+it is testable outside ComfyUI.
