🧹 Cleanup Accomplished

Files Moved

• Main Application: simple_web_gui.py → src/backend/app.py
• Database Manager: db_manager.py → src/backend/
• Face Recognition: visual_identifier.py → src/backend/
• Tag Manager: tag_manager.py → src/utils/
• Configuration: config.py → config/settings.py
• Databases: All .db files → data/
• Scripts: Utility scripts → scripts/
• Assets: Images and files → assets/

Files Consolidated

• Test Files: 10+ redundant test files → tests/test_main.py
