- Extend ItemCreate schema with optional extracted_image_bytes (base64) and image_processing (dict)
- Update create_item endpoint to call _auto_save_photo_from_extraction after item creation
- Decode base64 image bytes and pass crop_bounds, rotation_degrees to helper
- Don't block item creation if photo save fails (log warning instead)
- Item returned with photo_path, photo_thumbnail_path populated if save succeeded
- Full backward compatibility: old clients without image fields work unchanged
- Add 5 integration tests covering all scenarios:
- Create item WITH image_processing → photo auto-saved
- Create item WITHOUT image_processing → no photo (backward compatible)
- Create item WITH invalid image_processing → item created, photo skipped
- Create item WITH crop_bounds=None → item created, photo skipped
- Create item WITH bytes but NO processing metadata → item created, photo skipped
- All 158 backend tests passing, zero regressions
- Added 11 comprehensive tests for image_processing parsing
- Tests validate crop_bounds structure: {x, y, width, height} all ints >= 0
- Tests validate rotation_degrees: int/float, -360 to +360
- Tests validate confidence: float, 0.0 to 1.0
- Tests graceful handling when image_processing field is missing
- Tests multiple items with image_processing data
- Tests partial data handling (optional fields)
- Tests with both Gemini and Claude providers
- Updated extract_label_info() to preserve and validate image_processing field
- All tests passing, no regressions
- Create ImageProcessor service with EXIF orientation detection
- Implement smart cropping via OpenCV contour detection (10% padding)
- Add text orientation detection using Hough line transform
- Resize and compress images to 1200px with 85% JPEG quality
- Generate 200px square thumbnails with center crop
- Fallback to Pillow if OpenCV fails
- Comprehensive test suite: 28 tests all passing
- File size validation (reject >10MB)
- Graceful error handling for corrupted/invalid images
- Update requirements.txt with opencv-python, piexif, python-magic
