chore: Update ESLint configuration and clean up unused code in admin frontend

This commit modifies the ESLint configuration to include an additional TypeScript project file and adjusts the maximum line length to 120 characters. It also removes unused functions and imports across various components in the admin frontend, enhancing code clarity and maintainability. These changes contribute to a cleaner codebase and improved development experience.

+# CI Workflow and Package Scripts Mapping
+
+This document maps the Gitea CI workflow jobs to the corresponding npm scripts in package.json.
+
+## CI Workflow Jobs → Package Scripts
+
+### 1. `lint-and-type-check` Job
+
+**CI Workflow:**
+- Runs `npm run lint` in admin-frontend
+- Runs `npm run type-check` in viewer-frontend
+
+**Package Scripts:**
+- `npm run lint:admin` - Lint admin-frontend
+- `npm run lint:viewer` - Lint viewer-frontend
+- `npm run type-check:viewer` - Type check viewer-frontend
+- `npm run lint:all` - Lint both frontends
+
+### 2. `python-lint` Job
+
+**CI Workflow:**
+- Installs flake8, black, mypy, pylint
+- Runs Python syntax check: `find backend -name "*.py" -exec python -m py_compile {} \;`
+- Runs flake8: `flake8 backend --max-line-length=100 --ignore=E501,W503`
+
+**Package Scripts:**
+- `npm run lint:python` - Run flake8 on backend
+- `npm run lint:python:syntax` - Check Python syntax
+
+### 3. `test-backend` Job
+
+**CI Workflow:**
+- Installs dependencies from requirements.txt
+- Runs: `python -m pytest tests/ -v`
+
+**Package Scripts:**
+- `npm run test:backend` - Run backend tests with pytest
+- `npm run test:all` - Run all tests (currently just backend)
+
+### 4. `build` Job
+
+**CI Workflow:**
+- Builds admin-frontend: `npm run build`
+- Generates Prisma client: `npx prisma generate`
+- Builds viewer-frontend: `npm run build`
+
+**Package Scripts:**
+- `npm run build:admin` - Build admin-frontend
+- `npm run build:viewer` - Build viewer-frontend
+- `npm run build:all` - Build both frontends
+
+### 5. Security Scans
+
+**CI Workflow:**
+- `secret-scanning` - Gitleaks
+- `dependency-scan` - Trivy vulnerability and secret scanning
+- `sast-scan` - Semgrep
+
+**Package Scripts:**
+- No local scripts (these are CI-only security scans)
+
+## Combined Scripts
+
+### `ci:local` - Run All CI Checks Locally
+
+**Package Script:**
+```bash
+npm run ci:local
+```
+
+This runs:
+1. `lint:all` - Lint both frontends
+2. `type-check:viewer` - Type check viewer-frontend
+3. `lint:python` - Lint Python backend
+4. `test:backend` - Run backend tests
+5. `build:all` - Build both frontends
+
+**Note:** This is a convenience script to run all CI checks locally before pushing.
+
+## Missing from CI (Not in Package Scripts)
+
+These CI jobs don't have corresponding package scripts (by design):
+- `secret-scanning` - Gitleaks (security tool, CI-only)
+- `dependency-scan` - Trivy (security tool, CI-only)
+- `sast-scan` - Semgrep (security tool, CI-only)
+- `workflow-summary` - CI workflow summary generation
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Run All CI Checks Locally
+```bash
+npm run ci:local
+```
+
+### Run Individual Checks
+```bash
+# Frontend linting
+npm run lint:all
+
+# Type checking
+npm run type-check:viewer
+
+# Python linting
+npm run lint:python
+
+# Backend tests
+npm run test:backend
+
+# Build everything
+npm run build:all
+```
+
+### Development
+```bash
+# Start all services
+npm run dev:admin      # Terminal 1
+npm run dev:viewer     # Terminal 2
+npm run dev:backend    # Terminal 3
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- All CI scripts use `continue-on-error: true` or `|| true` to not fail the build
+- Local scripts also use `|| true` for non-critical checks
+- The `ci:local` script will stop on first failure (unlike CI which continues)
+- Python linting requires flake8: `pip install flake8`
+- Backend tests require pytest: `pip install pytest`

+# Cursor Rules for PunimTag Viewer
+
+## File Management
+
+- NEVER create history files or backup files with timestamps
+- NEVER create files in .history/ directory
+- NEVER create files with patterns like: *_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.* or *_timestamp.*
+- DO NOT use Local History extension features that create history files
+- When editing files, edit them directly - do not create timestamped copies
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Use TypeScript for all new files
+- Follow Next.js 14 App Router conventions
+- Use shadcn/ui components when available
+- Prefer Server Components over Client Components when possible
+- Use 'use client' directive only when necessary (interactivity, hooks, browser APIs)
+
+## File Naming
+
+- Use kebab-case for file names: `photo-grid.tsx`, `search-content.tsx`
+- Use PascalCase for component names: `PhotoGrid`, `SearchContent`
+- Use descriptive, clear names - avoid abbreviations
+
+## Development Practices
+
+- Edit files in place - do not create backup copies
+- Use Git for version control, not file history extensions
+- Test changes before committing
+- Follow the existing code structure and patterns

+# Email Verification Setup
+
+This document provides step-by-step instructions to complete the email verification setup.
+
+## ✅ Already Completed
+
+1. ✅ Resend package installed
+2. ✅ Prisma schema updated
+3. ✅ Prisma client regenerated
+4. ✅ Code implementation complete
+5. ✅ API endpoints created
+6. ✅ UI components updated
+
+## 🔧 Remaining Steps
+
+### Step 1: Run Database Migration
+
+The database migration needs to be run as a PostgreSQL superuser (or a user with ALTER TABLE permissions).
+
+**Option A: Using psql as postgres user**
+```bash
+sudo -u postgres psql -d punimtag_auth -f migrations/add-email-verification-columns.sql
+```
+
+**Option B: Using psql with password**
+```bash
+psql -U postgres -d punimtag_auth -f migrations/add-email-verification-columns.sql
+```
+
+**Option C: Manual SQL execution**
+Connect to your database and run:
+```sql
+\c punimtag_auth
+
+ALTER TABLE users 
+ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS email_verified BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT true;
+
+ALTER TABLE users 
+ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS email_confirmation_token VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE;
+
+ALTER TABLE users 
+ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS email_confirmation_token_expiry TIMESTAMP;
+
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_users_email_confirmation_token ON users(email_confirmation_token);
+
+UPDATE users 
+SET email_verified = true 
+WHERE email_confirmation_token IS NULL;
+```
+
+### Step 2: Set Up Resend
+
+1. **Sign up for Resend:**
+   - Go to [resend.com](https://resend.com)
+   - Create a free account (3,000 emails/month free tier)
+
+2. **Get your API key:**
+   - Go to API Keys in your Resend dashboard
+   - Create a new API key
+   - Copy the key (starts with `re_`)
+
+3. **Add to your `.env` file:**
+   ```bash
+   RESEND_API_KEY="re_your_api_key_here"
+   RESEND_FROM_EMAIL="noreply@yourdomain.com"
+   ```
+
+   **For development/testing:**
+   - You can use Resend's test domain: `onboarding@resend.dev`
+   - No domain verification needed for testing
+
+   **For production:**
+   - Verify your domain in Resend dashboard
+   - Use your verified domain: `noreply@yourdomain.com`
+
+### Step 3: Verify Setup
+
+1. **Check database columns:**
+   ```sql
+   \c punimtag_auth
+   \d users
+   ```
+   You should see:
+   - `email_verified` (boolean)
+   - `email_confirmation_token` (varchar)
+   - `email_confirmation_token_expiry` (timestamp)
+
+2. **Test registration:**
+   - Go to your registration page
+   - Create a new account
+   - Check your email for the confirmation message
+   - Click the confirmation link
+   - Try logging in
+
+3. **Test resend:**
+   - If email doesn't arrive, try the "Resend confirmation email" option on the login page
+
+## 🔍 Troubleshooting
+
+### "must be owner of table users"
+- You need to run the migration as a PostgreSQL superuser
+- Use `sudo -u postgres` or connect as the `postgres` user
+
+### "Failed to send confirmation email"
+- Check that `RESEND_API_KEY` is set correctly in `.env`
+- Verify the API key is valid in Resend dashboard
+- Check server logs for detailed error messages
+
+### "Email not verified" error on login
+- Make sure the user clicked the confirmation link
+- Check that the token hasn't expired (24 hours)
+- Use "Resend confirmation email" to get a new link
+
+### Existing users can't log in
+- The migration sets `email_verified = true` for existing users automatically
+- If issues persist, manually update:
+  ```sql
+  UPDATE users SET email_verified = true WHERE email_confirmation_token IS NULL;
+  ```
+
+## 📝 Environment Variables Summary
+
+Add these to your `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+# Required for email verification
+RESEND_API_KEY="re_your_api_key_here"
+RESEND_FROM_EMAIL="noreply@yourdomain.com"
+
+# Optional: Override base URL for email links
+# NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL="http://localhost:3001"
+```
+
+## ✅ Verification Checklist
+
+- [ ] Database migration run successfully
+- [ ] `email_verified` column exists in `users` table
+- [ ] `email_confirmation_token` column exists
+- [ ] `email_confirmation_token_expiry` column exists
+- [ ] `RESEND_API_KEY` set in `.env`
+- [ ] `RESEND_FROM_EMAIL` set in `.env`
+- [ ] Test registration sends email
+- [ ] Email confirmation link works
+- [ ] Login works after verification
+- [ ] Resend confirmation email works
+
+## 🎉 You're Done!
+
+Once all steps are complete, email verification is fully functional. New users will need to verify their email before they can log in.

+# Face Tooltip and Click-to-Identify Analysis
+
+## Issues Identified
+
+### 1. **Image Reference Not Being Set Properly**
+
+**Location:** `PhotoViewerClient.tsx` lines 546-549, 564-616
+
+**Problem:**
+- The `imageRef` is set in `handleImageLoad` callback (line 548)
+- However, `findFaceAtPoint` checks if `imageRef.current` exists (line 569)
+- If `imageRef.current` is null, face detection fails completely
+- Next.js `Image` component with `fill` prop may not reliably trigger `onLoad` or the ref may not be accessible
+
+**Evidence:**
+```typescript
+const findFaceAtPoint = useCallback((x: number, y: number) => {
+  // ...
+  if (!imageRef.current || !containerRef.current) {
+    return null;  // ← This will prevent ALL face detection if ref isn't set
+  }
+  // ...
+}, [currentPhoto.faces]);
+```
+
+**Impact:** If `imageRef.current` is null, `findFaceAtPoint` always returns null, so:
+- No faces are detected on hover
+- `hoveredFace` state never gets set
+- Tooltips never appear
+- Click detection never works
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Tooltip Logic Issues**
+
+**Location:** `PhotoViewerClient.tsx` lines 155-159
+
+**Problem:** The tooltip logic has restrictive conditions:
+
+```typescript
+const hoveredFaceTooltip = hoveredFace
+  ? hoveredFace.personName
+    ? (isLoggedIn ? hoveredFace.personName : null)  // ← Issue: hides name if not logged in
+    : (!session || hasWriteAccess ? 'Identify' : null)  // ← Issue: hides "Identify" for logged-in users without write access
+  : null;
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+1. **Identified faces:** Tooltip only shows if user is logged in. If not logged in, tooltip is `null` even though face is identified.
+2. **Unidentified faces:** Tooltip shows "Identify" only if:
+   - User is NOT signed in, OR
+   - User has write access
+   - If user is logged in but doesn't have write access, tooltip is `null`
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- Identified faces should show person name regardless of login status
+- Unidentified faces should show "Identify" if user has write access (or is not logged in)
+
+---
+
+### 3. **Click Handler Logic Issues**
+
+**Location:** `PhotoViewerClient.tsx` lines 661-686
+
+**Problem:** The click handler has restrictive conditions:
+
+```typescript
+const handleClick = useCallback((e: React.MouseEvent<HTMLDivElement>) => {
+  // ...
+  const face = findFaceAtPoint(e.clientX, e.clientY);
+  
+  // Only allow clicking if: face is identified, or user is not signed in, or user has write access
+  if (face && (face.person || !session || hasWriteAccess)) {
+    setClickedFace({...});
+    setIsDialogOpen(true);
+  }
+}, [findFaceAtPoint, session, hasWriteAccess, currentPhoto, isVideoPlaying]);
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+1. If `findFaceAtPoint` returns null (due to imageRef issue), click never works
+2. If user is logged in without write access and face is unidentified, click is blocked
+3. The condition `face.person || !session || hasWriteAccess` means:
+   - Can click identified faces (anyone)
+   - Can click unidentified faces only if not logged in OR has write access
+   - Logged-in users without write access cannot click unidentified faces
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- Should allow clicking unidentified faces if user has write access
+- Should allow clicking identified faces to view/edit (if has write access)
+
+---
+
+### 4. **Click Handler Event Blocking**
+
+**Location:** `PhotoViewerClient.tsx` lines 1096-1106
+
+**Problem:** The click handler checks for buttons and zoom controls, but also checks `isDragging`:
+
+```typescript
+onClick={(e) => {
+  // Don't handle click if it's on a button or zoom controls
+  const target = e.target as HTMLElement;
+  if (target.closest('button') || target.closest('[aria-label*="Zoom"]') || target.closest('[aria-label*="Reset zoom"]')) {
+    return;
+  }
+  // For images, only handle click if not dragging
+  if (!isDragging || zoom === 1) {  // ← Issue: if dragging and zoomed, click is ignored
+    handleClick(e);
+  }
+}}
+```
+
+**Issue:** If user is dragging (panning) and then clicks, the click is ignored. This might prevent face clicks if there's any drag state.
+
+---
+
+### 5. **Data Structure Mismatch (Potential)**
+
+**Location:** `page.tsx` line 182 vs `PhotoViewerClient.tsx` line 33
+
+**Problem:** 
+- Database query uses `Face` (capital F) and `Person` (capital P)
+- Component expects `faces` (lowercase) and `person` (lowercase)
+- Serialization function should handle this, but if it doesn't, faces won't be available
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `page.tsx` line 182: `Face: faces.filter(...)` (capital F)
+- `PhotoViewerClient.tsx` line 33: `faces?: FaceWithLocation[]` (lowercase)
+- Component accesses `currentPhoto.faces` (lowercase)
+
+**Impact:** If serialization doesn't transform `Face` → `faces`, then `currentPhoto.faces` will be undefined, and face detection won't work.
+
+---
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Primary Issue: Image Reference
+The most likely root cause is that `imageRef.current` is not being set properly, which causes:
+1. `findFaceAtPoint` to always return null
+2. No face detection on hover
+3. No tooltips
+4. No click detection
+
+### Secondary Issues: Logic Conditions
+Even if imageRef works, the tooltip and click logic have restrictive conditions that prevent:
+- Showing tooltips for identified faces when not logged in
+- Showing "Identify" tooltip for logged-in users without write access
+- Clicking unidentified faces for logged-in users without write access
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Fixes
+
+### Fix 1: Ensure Image Reference is Set
+- Add a ref directly to the Image component's container or use a different approach
+- Add fallback to find image element via DOM query if ref isn't set
+- Add debug logging to verify ref is being set
+
+### Fix 2: Fix Tooltip Logic
+- Show person name for identified faces regardless of login status
+- Show "Identify" for unidentified faces only if user has write access (or is not logged in)
+
+### Fix 3: Fix Click Handler Logic
+- Allow clicking unidentified faces if user has write access
+- Allow clicking identified faces to view/edit (if has write access)
+- Remove the `isDragging` check or make it more lenient
+
+### Fix 4: Verify Data Structure
+- Ensure serialization transforms `Face` → `faces` and `Person` → `person`
+- Add debug logging to verify faces are present in `currentPhoto.faces`
+
+### Fix 5: Add Debug Logging
+- Log when `imageRef.current` is set
+- Log when `findFaceAtPoint` is called and what it returns
+- Log when `hoveredFace` state changes
+- Log when click handler is triggered and what conditions are met
+
+---
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+After fixes, verify:
+- [ ] Image ref is set after image loads
+- [ ] Hovering over identified face shows person name (logged in and not logged in)
+- [ ] Hovering over unidentified face shows "Identify" if user has write access
+- [ ] Clicking identified face opens dialog (if has write access)
+- [ ] Clicking unidentified face opens dialog (if has write access)
+- [ ] Tooltips appear at correct position near cursor
+- [ ] Click works even after panning/zooming

+# Granting Database Permissions
+
+This document describes how to grant read-only permissions to the `viewer_readonly` user on the main `punimtag` database tables.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+**✅ WORKING METHOD (tested and confirmed):**
+```bash
+PGPASSWORD=punimtag_password psql -h localhost -U punimtag -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+```
+
+## When to Run This
+
+Run this script when you see errors like:
+- `permission denied for table photos`
+- `permission denied for table people`
+- `permission denied for table faces`
+- Any other "permission denied" errors when accessing database tables
+
+This typically happens when:
+- Database tables are recreated/dropped
+- Database is restored from backup
+- Permissions are accidentally revoked
+- Setting up a new environment
+
+## Methods
+
+### Method 1: Using punimtag user (Recommended - Tested)
+
+```bash
+PGPASSWORD=punimtag_password psql -h localhost -U punimtag -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+```
+
+### Method 2: Using postgres user
+
+```bash
+PGPASSWORD=postgres_password psql -h localhost -U postgres -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+```
+
+### Method 3: Using sudo
+
+```bash
+sudo -u postgres psql -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+```
+
+### Method 4: Manual connection
+
+```bash
+psql -U punimtag -d punimtag
+```
+
+Then paste these commands:
+```sql
+GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE punimtag TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT ON TABLE photos TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT ON TABLE people TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT ON TABLE faces TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT ON TABLE person_encodings TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT ON TABLE tags TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT ON TABLE phototaglinkage TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT ON TABLE photo_favorites TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO viewer_readonly;
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After granting permissions, verify they work:
+
+1. **Check permissions script:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run check:permissions
+   ```
+
+2. **Check health endpoint:**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:3001/api/health
+   ```
+
+3. **Test the website:**
+   - Refresh the browser
+   - Photos should load without permission errors
+   - Search functionality should work
+
+## What Permissions Are Granted
+
+The script grants the following permissions to `viewer_readonly`:
+
+- **CONNECT** on database `punimtag`
+- **USAGE** on schema `public`
+- **SELECT** on tables:
+  - `photos`
+  - `people`
+  - `faces`
+  - `person_encodings`
+  - `tags`
+  - `phototaglinkage`
+  - `photo_favorites`
+- **USAGE, SELECT** on all sequences in schema `public`
+- **Default privileges** for future tables (optional)
+
+## Notes
+
+- Replace `punimtag_password` with the actual password for the `punimtag` user (found in `.env` file)
+- The `viewer_readonly` user should only have SELECT permissions (read-only)
+- If you need write access, use `DATABASE_URL_WRITE` with a different user (`viewer_write`)
+

+# PunimTag Photo Viewer
+
+A modern, fast, and beautiful photo viewing website that connects to your PunimTag PostgreSQL database.
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+See the [Prerequisites Guide](docs/PREREQUISITES.md) for a complete list of required and optional software.
+
+**Required:**
+- Node.js 20+ (currently using 18.19.1 - may need upgrade)
+- PostgreSQL database with PunimTag schema
+- Read-only database user (see setup below)
+
+**Optional:**
+- **FFmpeg** (for video thumbnail generation) - See [FFmpeg Setup Guide](docs/FFMPEG_SETUP.md)
+- **libvips** (for image watermarking) - See [Prerequisites Guide](docs/PREREQUISITES.md)
+- **Resend API Key** (for email verification)
+- **Network-accessible storage** (for photo uploads)
+
+### Installation
+
+**Quick Setup (Recommended):**
+```bash
+# Run the comprehensive setup script
+npm run setup
+```
+
+This will:
+- Install all npm dependencies
+- Set up Sharp library (for image processing)
+- Generate Prisma clients
+- Set up database tables (if DATABASE_URL_AUTH is configured)
+- Create admin user (if needed)
+- Verify the setup
+
+**Manual Setup:**
+1. **Install dependencies:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run install:deps
+   # Or manually:
+   npm install
+   npm run prisma:generate:all
+   ```
+   
+   The install script will:
+   - Check Node.js version
+   - Install npm dependencies
+   - Set up Sharp library (for image processing)
+   - Generate Prisma clients
+   - Check for optional system dependencies (libvips, FFmpeg)
+
+2. **Set up environment variables:**
+   Create a `.env` file in the root directory:
+   ```bash
+   DATABASE_URL="postgresql://viewer_readonly:password@localhost:5432/punimtag"
+   DATABASE_URL_WRITE="postgresql://viewer_write:password@localhost:5432/punimtag"
+   DATABASE_URL_AUTH="postgresql://viewer_write:password@localhost:5432/punimtag_auth"
+   NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your-secret-key-here"
+   NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3001"
+   NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_NAME="PunimTag Photo Viewer"
+   NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_DESCRIPTION="Family Photo Gallery"
+   # Email verification (Resend)
+   RESEND_API_KEY="re_your_resend_api_key_here"
+   RESEND_FROM_EMAIL="noreply@yourdomain.com"
+   # Optional: Override base URL for email links (defaults to NEXTAUTH_URL)
+   # NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL="http://localhost:3001"
+   # Upload directory for pending photos (REQUIRED - must be network-accessible)
+   # RECOMMENDED: Use the same server as your database (see docs/NETWORK_SHARE_SETUP.md)
+   # Examples:
+   #   Database server via SSHFS: /mnt/db-server-uploads/pending-photos
+   #   Separate network share: /mnt/shared/pending-photos
+   #   Windows: \\server\share\pending-photos (mapped to drive)
+   UPLOAD_DIR="/mnt/db-server-uploads/pending-photos"
+   # Or use PENDING_PHOTOS_DIR as an alias
+   # PENDING_PHOTOS_DIR="/mnt/network-share/pending-photos"
+   ```
+   
+   **Note:** Generate a secure `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` using:
+   ```bash
+   openssl rand -base64 32
+   ```
+
+3. **Grant read-only permissions on main database tables:**
+   
+   The read-only user needs SELECT permissions on all main tables. If you see "permission denied" errors, run:
+   
+   **✅ WORKING METHOD (tested and confirmed):**
+   ```bash
+   PGPASSWORD=punimtag_password psql -h localhost -U punimtag -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+   ```
+   
+   **Alternative methods:**
+   ```bash
+   # Using postgres user:
+   PGPASSWORD=postgres_password psql -h localhost -U postgres -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+   
+   # Using sudo:
+   sudo -u postgres psql -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+   ```
+   
+   **Check permissions:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run check:permissions
+   ```
+   
+   This will verify all required permissions and provide instructions if any are missing.
+
+   **For Face Identification (Write Access):**
+   
+   You have two options to enable write access for face identification:
+   
+   **Option 1: Grant write permissions to existing user** (simpler)
+   ```bash
+   # Run as PostgreSQL superuser:
+   psql -U postgres -d punimtag -f grant_write_permissions.sql
+   ```
+   Then use the same `DATABASE_URL` for both read and write operations.
+   
+   **Option 2: Create a separate write user** (more secure)
+   ```bash
+   # Run as PostgreSQL superuser:
+   psql -U postgres -d punimtag -f create_write_user.sql
+   ```
+   Then add to your `.env` file:
+   ```bash
+   DATABASE_URL_WRITE="postgresql://viewer_write:password@localhost:5432/punimtag"
+   ```
+
+4. **Create database tables for authentication:**
+   ```bash
+   # Run as PostgreSQL superuser:
+   psql -U postgres -d punimtag_auth -f create_auth_tables.sql
+   ```
+   
+   **Add pending_photos table for photo uploads:**
+   ```bash
+   # Run as PostgreSQL superuser:
+   psql -U postgres -d punimtag_auth -f migrations/add-pending-photos-table.sql
+   ```
+   
+   **Add email verification columns:**
+   ```bash
+   # Run as PostgreSQL superuser:
+   psql -U postgres -d punimtag_auth -f migrations/add-email-verification-columns.sql
+   ```
+   
+   Then grant permissions to your write user:
+   ```sql
+   -- If using viewer_write user:
+   GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE users TO viewer_write;
+   GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE pending_identifications TO viewer_write;
+   GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE pending_photos TO viewer_write;
+   GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE users_id_seq TO viewer_write;
+   GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE pending_identifications_id_seq TO viewer_write;
+   GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE pending_photos_id_seq TO viewer_write;
+   
+   -- Or if using viewer_readonly with write permissions:
+   GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE users TO viewer_readonly;
+   GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE pending_identifications TO viewer_readonly;
+   GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE pending_photos TO viewer_readonly;
+   GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE users_id_seq TO viewer_readonly;
+   GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE pending_identifications_id_seq TO viewer_readonly;
+   GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE pending_photos_id_seq TO viewer_readonly;
+   ```
+
+5. **Generate Prisma client:**
+   ```bash
+   npx prisma generate
+   ```
+
+6. **Run development server:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+
+7. **Open your browser:**
+   Navigate to http://localhost:3000

+
+## 🎨 Features
+
+- ✅ Photo grid with responsive layout
+- ✅ Image optimization with Next.js Image
+- ✅ Read-only database access
+- ✅ Type-safe queries with Prisma
+- ✅ Modern, clean design
+- ✅ **Collapsible search bar** on main page with filters
+- ✅ **Search functionality** - Search by people, dates, and tags
+- ✅ **Photo tooltips** - Hover over photos to see people names
+- ✅ **Search page** - Dedicated search page at `/search`
+- ✅ **Filter panel** - People, date range, and tag filters
+
+## ✉️ Email Verification
+
+The application includes email verification for new user registrations. Users must verify their email address before they can sign in.
+
+### Setup
+
+1. **Get a Resend API Key:**
+   - Sign up at [resend.com](https://resend.com)
+   - Create an API key in your dashboard
+   - Add it to your `.env` file:
+     ```bash
+     RESEND_API_KEY="re_your_api_key_here"
+     RESEND_FROM_EMAIL="noreply@yourdomain.com"
+     ```
+
+2. **Run the Database Migration:**
+   ```bash
+   psql -U postgres -d punimtag_auth -f migrations/add-email-verification-columns.sql
+   ```
+
+3. **Configure Email Domain (Optional):**
+   - For production, verify your domain in Resend
+   - Update `RESEND_FROM_EMAIL` to use your verified domain
+   - For development, you can use Resend's test domain (`onboarding@resend.dev`)
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Registration:** When a user signs up, they receive a confirmation email with a verification link
+2. **Verification:** Users click the link to verify their email address
+3. **Login:** Users must verify their email before they can sign in
+4. **Resend:** Users can request a new confirmation email if needed
+
+### Features
+
+- ✅ Secure token-based verification (24-hour expiration)
+- ✅ Email verification required before login
+- ✅ Resend confirmation email functionality
+- ✅ User-friendly error messages
+- ✅ Backward compatible (existing users are auto-verified)
+
+## 📤 Photo Uploads
+
+Users can upload photos for admin review. Uploaded photos are stored on a **network-accessible location** (required) and tracked in the database.
+
+### Storage Location
+
+Uploaded photos are stored in a directory structure organized by user ID:
+```
+{UPLOAD_DIR}/
+  └── {userId}/
+      └── {timestamp}-{filename}
+```
+
+**Configuration (REQUIRED):**
+- **Must** set `UPLOAD_DIR` or `PENDING_PHOTOS_DIR` environment variable
+- **Must** point to a network-accessible location (database server recommended)
+- The directory will be created automatically if it doesn't exist
+
+**Recommended: Use Database Server**
+
+The simplest setup is to use the same server where your PostgreSQL database is located:
+
+1. **Create directory on database server:**
+   ```bash
+   ssh user@db-server.example.com
+   sudo mkdir -p /var/punimtag/uploads/pending-photos
+   ```
+
+2. **Mount database server on web server (via SSHFS):**
+   ```bash
+   sudo apt-get install sshfs
+   sudo mkdir -p /mnt/db-server-uploads
+   sudo sshfs user@db-server.example.com:/var/punimtag/uploads /mnt/db-server-uploads
+   ```
+
+3. **Set in .env:**
+   ```bash
+   UPLOAD_DIR="/mnt/db-server-uploads/pending-photos"
+   ```
+
+**See full setup guide:** [`docs/NETWORK_SHARE_SETUP.md`](docs/NETWORK_SHARE_SETUP.md)
+
+**Important:**
+- Ensure the web server process has read/write permissions
+- The approval system must have read access to the same location
+- Test network connectivity and permissions before deploying
+
+### Database Tracking
+
+Upload metadata is stored in the `pending_photos` table in the `punimtag_auth` database:
+- File location and metadata
+- User who uploaded
+- Status: `pending`, `approved`, `rejected`
+- Review information (when reviewed, by whom, rejection reason)
+
+### Access for Approval System
+
+The approval system can:
+1. **Read files from disk** using the `file_path` from the database
+2. **Query the database** for pending photos:
+   ```sql
+   SELECT * FROM pending_photos WHERE status = 'pending' ORDER BY submitted_at;
+   ```
+3. **Update status** after review:
+   ```sql
+   UPDATE pending_photos 
+   SET status = 'approved', reviewed_at = NOW(), reviewed_by = {admin_user_id}
+   WHERE id = {photo_id};
+   ```
+
+## 🚧 Coming Soon
+
+- [ ] Photo detail page with lightbox
+- [ ] Infinite scroll
+- [ ] Favorites system
+- [ ] People and tags browsers
+- [ ] Authentication (optional)
+

+### Available Scripts
+
+- `npm run dev` - Start development server
+- `npm run build` - Build for production
+- `npm run start` - Start production server
+- `npm run lint` - Run ESLint
+- `npm run check:permissions` - Check database permissions and provide fix instructions
+
+### Prisma Commands
+
+- `npx prisma generate` - Generate Prisma client
+- `npx prisma studio` - Open Prisma Studio (database browser)
+- `npx prisma db pull` - Pull schema from database
+
+## 🔍 Troubleshooting
+
+### Permission Denied Errors
+
+If you see "permission denied for table photos" errors:
+
+1. **Check permissions:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run check:permissions
+   ```
+
+2. **Grant permissions (WORKING METHOD - tested and confirmed):**
+   ```bash
+   PGPASSWORD=punimtag_password psql -h localhost -U punimtag -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+   ```
+   
+   **Alternative methods:**
+   ```bash
+   # Using postgres user:
+   PGPASSWORD=postgres_password psql -h localhost -U postgres -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+   
+   # Using sudo:
+   sudo -u postgres psql -d punimtag -f grant_readonly_permissions.sql
+   ```
+
+3. **Or check health endpoint:**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:3001/api/health
+   ```
+
+### Database Connection Issues
+
+- Verify `DATABASE_URL` is set correctly in `.env`
+- Check that the database user exists and has the correct password
+- Ensure PostgreSQL is running and accessible
+
+## ⚠️ Known Issues
+
+- Node.js version: Currently using Node 18.19.1, but Next.js 16 requires >=20.9.0
+  - **Solution:** Upgrade Node.js or use Node Version Manager (nvm)
+
+## 📝 Notes
+
+### Image Serving (Hybrid Approach)
+
+The application automatically detects and handles two types of photo storage:
+
+1. **HTTP/HTTPS URLs** (SharePoint, CDN, etc.)
+   - If `photo.path` starts with `http://` or `https://`, images are served directly
+   - Next.js Image optimization is applied automatically
+   - Configure allowed domains in `next.config.ts` → `remotePatterns`
+
+2. **File System Paths** (Local storage)
+   - If `photo.path` is a file system path, images are served via API proxy
+   - Make sure photo file paths are accessible from the Next.js server
+   - No additional configuration needed
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Works with both SharePoint URLs and local file system
+- ✅ Automatic detection - no configuration needed per photo
+- ✅ Optimal performance for both storage types
+- ✅ No N+1 database queries (path passed via query parameter)
+
+### Search Features
+
+The application includes a powerful search system:
+
+1. **Collapsible Search Bar** (Main Page)
+   - Minimized by default to save space
+   - Click to expand and reveal full filter panel
+   - Shows active filter count badge
+   - Filters photos in real-time
+
+2. **Search Filters**
+   - **People Filter**: Multi-select searchable dropdown
+   - **Date Range Filter**: Presets (Today, This Week, This Month, This Year) or custom range
+   - **Tag Filter**: Multi-select searchable tag filter
+   - All filters work together with AND logic
+
+3. **Photo Tooltips**
+   - Hover over any photo to see people names
+   - Shows "People: Name1, Name2" if people are identified
+   - Falls back to filename if no people identified
+
+4. **Search Page** (`/search`)
+   - Dedicated search page with full filter panel
+   - URL query parameter sync for shareable search links
+   - Pagination support

+## 🔧 Next Steps to Complete Setup
+
+### 1. Configure Database Connection
+
+Create a `.env` file in the project root:
+
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL="postgresql://viewer_readonly:your_password@localhost:5432/punimtag"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_NAME="PunimTag Photo Viewer"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_DESCRIPTION="Family Photo Gallery"
+```
+
+**Important:** Replace `your_password` with the actual password for the read-only database user.
+
+### 2. Create Read-Only Database User (if not already done)
+
+Connect to your PostgreSQL database and run:
+
+```sql
+-- Create read-only user
+CREATE USER viewer_readonly WITH PASSWORD 'your_secure_password';
+
+-- Grant permissions
+GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE punimtag TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO viewer_readonly;
+
+-- Grant on future tables
+ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public 
+GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO viewer_readonly;
+
+-- Verify no write permissions
+REVOKE INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public FROM viewer_readonly;
+```
+
+### 3. Install System Dependencies (Optional but Recommended)
+
+**For Image Watermarking (libvips):**
+```bash
+# Ubuntu/Debian
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install libvips-dev
+
+# Rebuild sharp package after installing libvips
+cd viewer-frontend
+npm rebuild sharp
+```
+
+**For Video Thumbnails (FFmpeg):**
+```bash
+# Ubuntu/Debian
+sudo apt install ffmpeg
+```
+
+**Note:** The application will work without these, but:
+- Without libvips: Images will be served without watermarks
+- Without FFmpeg: Videos will show placeholder thumbnails
+
+### 4. Generate Prisma Client
+
+```bash
+cd /home/ladmin/Code/punimtag-viewer
+npx prisma generate
+```
+
+### 5. Test Database Connection
+
+```bash
+# Optional: Open Prisma Studio to browse database
+npx prisma studio
+```
+
+### 6. Run Development Server
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
+
+## ⚠️ Known Issues
+
+### Node.js Version Warning
+
+The project was created with Next.js 16, which requires Node.js >=20.9.0, but the system currently has Node.js 18.19.1.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Upgrade Node.js** (Recommended):
+   ```bash
+   # Using nvm (Node Version Manager)
+   nvm install 20
+   nvm use 20
+   ```
+
+2. **Or use Next.js 14** (if you prefer to stay on Node 18):
+   ```bash
+   npm install next@14 react@18 react-dom@18

+# Authentication Setup Guide
+
+This guide will help you set up the authentication and pending identifications functionality.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. ✅ Code changes are complete
+2. ✅ `.env` file is configured with `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` and database URLs
+3. ⚠️ Database tables need to be created
+4. ⚠️ Database permissions need to be granted
+
+## Step-by-Step Setup
+
+### 1. Create Database Tables
+
+Run the SQL script to create the new tables:
+
+```bash
+psql -U postgres -d punimtag -f create_auth_tables.sql
+```
+
+Or manually run the SQL commands in `create_auth_tables.sql`.
+
+### 2. Grant Database Permissions
+
+You need to grant write permissions for the new tables. Choose one option:
+
+#### Option A: If using separate write user (`viewer_write`)
+
+```sql
+-- Connect as postgres superuser
+psql -U postgres -d punimtag
+
+-- Grant permissions
+GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE users TO viewer_write;
+GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE pending_identifications TO viewer_write;
+GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE users_id_seq TO viewer_write;
+GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE pending_identifications_id_seq TO viewer_write;
+```
+
+#### Option B: If using same user with write permissions (`viewer_readonly`)
+
+```sql
+-- Connect as postgres superuser
+psql -U postgres -d punimtag
+
+-- Grant permissions
+GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE users TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE pending_identifications TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE users_id_seq TO viewer_readonly;
+GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE pending_identifications_id_seq TO viewer_readonly;
+```
+
+### 3. Generate Prisma Client
+
+After creating the tables, regenerate the Prisma client:
+
+```bash
+npx prisma generate
+```
+
+### 4. Verify Setup
+
+1. **Check tables exist:**
+   ```sql
+   \dt users
+   \dt pending_identifications
+   ```
+
+2. **Test user registration:**
+   - Start the dev server: `npm run dev`
+   - Navigate to `http://localhost:3001/register`
+   - Try creating a new user account
+   - Check if the user appears in the database:
+     ```sql
+     SELECT * FROM users;
+     ```
+
+3. **Test face identification:**
+   - Log in with your new account
+   - Open a photo with faces
+   - Click on a face to identify it
+   - Check if pending identification is created:
+     ```sql
+     SELECT * FROM pending_identifications;
+     ```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Error: "permission denied for table users"
+
+**Solution:** Grant write permissions to your database user (see Step 2 above).
+
+### Error: "relation 'users' does not exist"
+
+**Solution:** Run the `create_auth_tables.sql` script (see Step 1 above).
+
+### Error: "PrismaClientValidationError"
+
+**Solution:** Regenerate Prisma client: `npx prisma generate`
+
+### Registration page shows error
+
+**Check:**
+1. `.env` file has `DATABASE_URL_WRITE` configured
+2. Database user has INSERT permission on `users` table
+3. Prisma client is up to date: `npx prisma generate`
+
+## What Works Now
+
+✅ User registration (`/register`)
+✅ User login (`/login`)
+✅ Face identification (requires login)
+✅ Pending identifications saved to database
+✅ Authentication checks in place
+
+## What's Not Implemented Yet
+
+❌ Admin approval interface (to approve/reject pending identifications)
+❌ Applying approved identifications to the main `people` and `faces` tables
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Once everything is working:
+1. Test user registration
+2. Test face identification
+3. Verify pending identifications are saved correctly
+4. (Future) Implement admin approval interface
+

+# Setting Up Separate Auth Database
+
+This guide explains how to set up a separate database for authentication and pending identifications, so you don't need to write to the read-only `punimtag` database.
+
+## Why a Separate Database?
+
+The `punimtag` database is read-only, but we need to store:
+- User accounts (for login/authentication)
+- Pending identifications (face identifications waiting for admin approval)
+
+By using a separate database (`punimtag_auth`), we can:
+- ✅ Keep the punimtag database completely read-only
+- ✅ Store user data and identifications separately
+- ✅ Maintain data integrity without foreign key constraints across databases
+
+## Setup Steps
+
+### 1. Create the Auth Database
+
+Run the SQL script as a PostgreSQL superuser:
+
+```bash
+psql -U postgres -f setup-auth-database.sql
+```
+
+Or connect to PostgreSQL and run manually:
+
+```sql
+-- Create the database
+CREATE DATABASE punimtag_auth;
+
+-- Connect to it
+\c punimtag_auth
+
+-- Then run the rest of setup-auth-database.sql
+```
+
+### 2. Configure Environment Variables
+
+Add `DATABASE_URL_AUTH` to your `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL_AUTH="postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/punimtag_auth"
+```
+
+**Note:** You can use the same PostgreSQL user that has access to the punimtag database, or create a separate user specifically for the auth database.
+
+### 3. Generate Prisma Clients
+
+Generate both Prisma clients:
+
+```bash
+# Generate main client (for punimtag database)
+npm run prisma:generate
+
+# Generate auth client (for punimtag_auth database)
+npm run prisma:generate:auth
+
+# Or generate both at once:
+npm run prisma:generate:all
+```
+
+### 4. Create Admin User
+
+After the database is set up and Prisma clients are generated, create an admin user:
+
+```bash
+npx tsx scripts/create-admin-user.ts
+```
+
+This will create an admin user with:
+- **Email:** admin@admin.com
+- **Password:** admin
+- **Role:** Admin (can approve identifications)
+
+### 5. Verify Setup
+
+1. **Check tables exist:**
+   ```sql
+   \c punimtag_auth
+   \dt
+   ```
+   You should see `users` and `pending_identifications` tables.
+
+2. **Check admin user:**
+   ```sql
+   SELECT email, name, is_admin FROM users WHERE email = 'admin@admin.com';
+   ```
+
+3. **Test registration:**
+   - Go to http://localhost:3001/register
+   - Create a new user account
+   - Verify it appears in the `punimtag_auth` database
+
+4. **Test login:**
+   - Go to http://localhost:3001/login
+   - Login with admin@admin.com / admin
+
+## Database Structure
+
+### `punimtag_auth` Database
+
+- **users** - User accounts for authentication
+- **pending_identifications** - Face identifications pending admin approval
+
+### `punimtag` Database (Read-Only)
+
+- **photos** - Photo metadata
+- **faces** - Detected faces in photos
+- **people** - Identified people
+- **tags** - Photo tags
+- etc.
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### Foreign Key Constraints
+
+The `pending_identifications.face_id` field references `faces.id` in the `punimtag` database, but we **cannot use a foreign key constraint** across databases. The application validates that faces exist when creating pending identifications.
+
+### Face ID Validation
+
+When a user identifies a face, the application:
+1. Validates the `faceId` exists in the `punimtag` database (read-only check)
+2. Stores the identification in `punimtag_auth.pending_identifications` (write operation)
+
+This ensures data integrity without requiring write access to the punimtag database.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Cannot find module '../node_modules/.prisma/client-auth'"
+
+Make sure you've generated the auth Prisma client:
+```bash
+npm run prisma:generate:auth
+```
+
+### "relation 'users' does not exist"
+
+Make sure you've created the auth database and run the setup script:
+```bash
+psql -U postgres -f setup-auth-database.sql
+```
+
+### "permission denied for table users"
+
+Make sure your database user has the necessary permissions. You can grant them with:
+```sql
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE punimtag_auth TO your_user;
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO your_user;
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO your_user;
+```
+
+### "DATABASE_URL_AUTH is not defined"
+
+Make sure you've added `DATABASE_URL_AUTH` to your `.env` file.
+
+## Migration from Old Setup
+
+If you previously had `users` and `pending_identifications` tables in the `punimtag` database:
+
+1. **Export existing data** (if any):
+   ```sql
+   \c punimtag
+   \copy users TO 'users_backup.csv' CSV HEADER;
+   \copy pending_identifications TO 'pending_identifications_backup.csv' CSV HEADER;
+   ```
+
+2. **Create the new auth database** (follow steps above)
+
+3. **Import data** (if needed):
+   ```sql
+   \c punimtag_auth
+   \copy users FROM 'users_backup.csv' CSV HEADER;
+   \copy pending_identifications FROM 'pending_identifications_backup.csv' CSV HEADER;
+   ```
+
+4. **Update your `.env` file** with `DATABASE_URL_AUTH`
+
+5. **Regenerate Prisma clients** and restart your application

+# Setup Instructions for Authentication
+
+Follow these steps to set up authentication and create the admin user.
+
+## Step 1: Create Database Tables
+
+Run the SQL script as a PostgreSQL superuser:
+
+```bash
+psql -U postgres -d punimtag -f setup-auth-complete.sql
+```
+
+Or connect to your database and run the SQL manually:
+
+```sql
+-- Connect to database
+\c punimtag
+
+-- Then run the contents of setup-auth-complete.sql
+```
+
+## Step 2: Create Admin User
+
+After the tables are created, run the Node.js script to create the admin user:
+
+```bash
+npx tsx scripts/create-admin-user.ts
+```
+
+This will create an admin user with:
+- **Email:** admin@admin.com
+- **Password:** admin
+- **Role:** Admin (can approve identifications)
+
+## Step 3: Regenerate Prisma Client
+
+```bash
+npx prisma generate
+```
+
+## Step 4: Verify Setup
+
+1. **Check tables exist:**
+   ```sql
+   \dt users
+   \dt pending_identifications
+   ```
+
+2. **Check admin user:**
+   ```sql
+   SELECT email, name, is_admin FROM users WHERE email = 'admin@admin.com';
+   ```
+
+3. **Test registration:**
+   - Go to http://localhost:3001/register
+   - Create a new user account
+   - Verify it appears in the database
+
+4. **Test admin login:**
+   - Go to http://localhost:3001/login
+   - Login with admin@admin.com / admin
+
+## Permission Model
+
+- **Regular Users:** Can INSERT into `pending_identifications` (identify faces)
+- **Admin Users:** Can UPDATE `pending_identifications` (approve/reject identifications)
+- **Application Level:** The `isAdmin` field in the User model controls who can approve
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "permission denied for table users"
+Make sure you've granted permissions:
+```sql
+GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE users TO viewer_write;
+GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE pending_identifications TO viewer_write;
+GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE users_id_seq TO viewer_write;
+GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE pending_identifications_id_seq TO viewer_write;
+```
+
+### "relation 'users' does not exist"
+Run `setup-auth-complete.sql` first to create the tables.
+
+### "Authentication failed"
+Check your `.env` file has correct `DATABASE_URL_WRITE` credentials.

+# How to Stop the Old PunimTag Server
+
+## Quick Instructions
+
+### Option 1: Kill the Process (Already Done)
+The old server has been stopped. If you need to do it manually:
+
+```bash
+# Find the process
+lsof -i :3000
+
+# Kill it (replace PID with actual process ID)
+kill <PID>
+```
+
+### Option 2: Find and Stop All PunimTag Processes
+
+```bash
+# Find all PunimTag processes
+ps aux | grep punimtag | grep -v grep
+
+# Kill the frontend (Vite) process
+pkill -f "vite.*punimtag"
+
+# Or kill by port
+lsof -ti :3000 | xargs kill
+```
+
+### Option 3: Stop from Terminal Where It's Running
+
+If you have the terminal open where the old server is running:
+- Press `Ctrl+C` to stop it
+
+## Start the New Photo Viewer
+
+After stopping the old server, start the new one:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/ladmin/Code/punimtag-viewer
+npm run dev
+```
+
+The new server will start on http://localhost:3000
+
+## Check What's Running
+
+```bash
+# Check what's on port 3000
+lsof -i :3000
+
+# Check all Node processes
+ps aux | grep node | grep -v grep
+```
+
+## If Port 3000 is Still Busy
+
+If port 3000 is still in use, you can:
+
+1. **Use a different port for the new viewer:**
+   ```bash
+   PORT=3001 npm run dev
+   ```
+   Then open http://localhost:3001
+
+2. **Or kill all processes on port 3000:**
+   ```bash
+   lsof -ti :3000 | xargs kill -9
+   ```
