Phase 03 Plan 04: Gallery & Integration Summary

Image gallery integration with horizontal thumbnails, fullscreen lightbox, delete functionality, and native camera button using file input capture attribute

Performance

  • Duration: 8 min (including verification fix)
  • Tasks: 4 (3 auto + 1 checkpoint)
  • Files created: 2
  • Files modified: 3

Accomplishments

  • ImageGallery component renders horizontal scrolling 80x80 thumbnails
  • ImageLightbox shows full-size image with keyboard navigation (arrows, escape)
  • EntryCard shows image count indicator when collapsed
  • Expanded entry shows full image gallery with edit mode for deletion
  • deleteImage form action removes files from disk and database
  • Camera button replaced with native file input using capture="environment"
  • Complete image flow verified: upload, view, delete, camera capture

  2. Task 2: Integrate images into EntryCard - 0acff1b (feat)

  4. Task 4: Human verification checkpoint - approved
  5. Fix: Camera button using file input - a2f9183 (fix)

Files Created/Modified

Created

  • src/lib/components/ImageGallery.svelte - Horizontal scrolling gallery with edit mode (89 lines)
  • src/lib/components/ImageLightbox.svelte - Fullscreen lightbox with keyboard nav (132 lines)

Modified

  • src/lib/components/EntryCard.svelte - Integrated gallery, upload, camera, delete functionality
  • src/lib/components/EntryList.svelte - Pass images to EntryCard
  • src/routes/+page.server.ts - Added deleteImage form action

Decisions Made

  • Custom lightbox over library: Simple modal with click-outside/escape close is sufficient; no need for svelte-lightbox dependency
  • Edit mode toggle: Hide delete buttons by default to prevent accidental deletion
  • File input with capture="environment": Works over HTTP unlike getUserMedia which requires HTTPS (except localhost)

Deviations from Plan

Fixed During Verification

1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Camera button fix: replaced CameraCapture modal with file input

  • Found during: Human verification checkpoint
  • Issue: CameraCapture component using getUserMedia failed on HTTP connections (not localhost); camera requires HTTPS except for localhost
  • Fix: Replaced CameraCapture modal with a hidden file input using capture="environment" attribute, which triggers native OS camera picker
  • Files modified: src/lib/components/EntryCard.svelte
  • Verification: Camera button works on mobile over HTTP, opens native camera app
  • Committed in: a2f9183

Total deviations: 1 fix during verification Impact on plan: Simpler, more compatible camera implementation with better browser support

Issues Encountered

  • getUserMedia HTTPS requirement: The CameraCapture component from 03-03 uses getUserMedia which only works on HTTPS (with localhost exception). During verification over the local network via HTTP, camera access was blocked. Fixed by using the native file input capture attribute instead.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

  • Phase 3 (Images) is complete
  • Full image lifecycle: upload, view thumbnails, view fullscreen, delete
  • Camera capture works on mobile devices
  • Ready for Phase 4 (Search) or Phase 5 (Sync)
