Camera snapshots were stored RAW — the camera's full-res JPEG straight into
the BLOB, no resize/recompress. Measured on the dev DB: 300 snapshots = 81.7 MB
= ~72% of the 114 MB SQLite file (the big ones 2688×1520 / ~600 KB, Hikvision
main stream). They dominated the appliance's single backed-up DB file.
Re-encode on capture (snapshot.ts):
- Downscale each frame to SNAPSHOT_MAX_EDGE (1280px long edge) + recompress at
SNAPSHOT_JPEG_QUALITY (80) via sharp (libvips, Apache-2.0) before storage —
~6-10× smaller (verified 2688×1520 → 1280×724, ~8×), plate still readable,
clean image/jpeg (drops the camera's charset cruft). STORAGE-ONLY: recognition
keeps the ORIGINAL full-res bytes (downscaling hurts OCR). Fail-soft — a
re-encode error stores the original, never drops the snapshot or blocks the
(already-open) path. sharp lives in apps/server (owns the capture path), where
bcrypt already establishes the native-dep pattern.
Disk-pressure retention (snapshot-retention.ts) — a SAFETY VALVE, not the daily
mechanism (the re-encode does that). Daily check reads the DB filesystem used%
(statfs on db.$client.name); no-op unless ≥ SNAPSHOT_DISK_HIGH_PCT (70). Over the
mark: delete the OLDEST until an estimated SNAPSHOT_DISK_FREE_TARGET_PCT (10%) of
disk is freed — never below SNAPSHOT_MIN_KEEP (500) — then VACUUM once to return
space to the OS. A DELETE only frees SQLite pages (disk doesn't drop until VACUUM),
so the loop is driven by estimated freed bytes (SUM(length(bytes))), not a live
disk re-read; the prune owns the DB-locking VACUUM, run daily off-peak. diskUsage
is injectable for tests. None of this touches the signed ledger — snapshots are
unsigned/advisory, referenced only by id.
Tests: encodeForStorage (downscale / clean-type / no-enlarge / fail-soft) +
pruneSnapshots (no-op below mark / delete-oldest-to-target + VACUUM / MIN_KEEP
floor / skip-VACUUM-when-empty). All four snapshot env knobs documented in the
komodo env reference. Full workspace build/lint/test green; the prune smoke-verified
on a scratch DB copy (file shrank after VACUUM).
Existing ~81.7 MB of raw snapshots are unchanged (a one-off re-encode backfill is
a separate optional follow-up). Updated entry-exit-points + technology-stack wiki.

Three booth-integrity improvements that share the entry/exit flows and activity log.
Refusal snapshots: previously only an accepted open captured a camera image; now
every refusal/hold anomaly fires the directional camera too (a turned-away car is
exactly the evidence wanted) — entry refused-full/held, exit refused
closed/no-session/unpaid/grace-expired (booth + reader paths), refused subscription.
A refused entry has no ticket id, so a synthetic REFUSED- ref keys the anomaly + photo
together. Same fire-and-forget contract; failed captures still show as tiles.
Subscriber access medium: the subscription flow already signed `via`
(qr|card|plate) into entry/exit payloads; surface it as a typed LedgerPayload.via, a
cyan chip in the ticker, and an "Entry medium" modal row (sq+en). Display-only.
One car = one ticket: the entry button could be mashed to mint many tickets per car
(corrupting occupancy + enabling ticket-shopping at exit) — the old #inFlight guard
only blocked overlapping presses. Add a per-relay guard configured on the relay spec:
PRESENCE mode (presenceInput ties ticketing to a vehicle loop on a Dingtian input —
one ticket per car, re-armed when the loop clears) or COOLDOWN fallback
(entryCooldownSec) when there's no barrier feedback. A suppressed press is unsigned
device_events telemetry, not a signed anomaly. SetupWizard exposes both fields.
Fail-closed entry and barrier-is-not-a-door invariants untouched; guard state is
in-memory/rebuildable, starts armed after restart.
Wiki: new entry-double-press; updated entry-exit-points, booth-console, index.

A parking lot is one pool of spaces with a flexible set of entry/exit
points — no "lane". Direction is a property of each RELAY inside an access
controller; readers/cameras bind to a controller relay and inherit it.
Schema:
- drop `lane` from ledger_events, device_events, sessions
- rename lane_devices -> devices (no lane/direction columns)
- access config.relays=[{relay,direction,button?}]; reader/camera
config.controllerId+relay binding
- fresh 0000_baseline migration (history reset; dev data was throwaway)
Signed ledger:
- remove `lane` from canonicalize(); bump signer keyId sw-hmac-v1 -> v2
(v1 events won't verify under v2 — intentional, gated per-event by keyId)
Server:
- new device-resolve.ts (replaces lane-map.ts): relayForButton,
relayForDevice, firstRelayByDirection, devicesByDirection
- entry-flow: button terminal -> its relay; exit/permit: reader's bound
relay; dispatcher resolves the bound relay + inherited direction
- camera snapshots fire by direction site-wide, async, never block open
- DeviceConfig widened to nested JSON for relays[]
Web:
- wizard: no lane selector; add controllers (relay map + entry-button
terminal) first, then bind readers/cameras/printers to a controller relay
Wiki: new entry-exit-points.md (replaces lane-direction); reworked
entry-exit-readers, parking-session, first-run-setup, device-registry,
append-only-event-chain, device-events; removed stale lane/LaneMap mentions.
