+    - `width, height`: dimensions of item bounding box — **MUST include the ENTIRE visible item**
+    - Include adequate padding (20-30 pixels) around item edges for context

+  - ✅ CORRECT: Full cable with both ends visible and part number readable on main label
+  - ❌ WRONG: Only the top corner cropped, missing the body and other labels
+  - ❌ WRONG: Tiny bounding box around just one line of text, ignoring rest of item

-  ### Rotation Analysis
-  - Check if item labels/text are readable
-  - If text is rotated (not horizontal), calculate rotation needed
-  - Return `rotation_degrees`: degrees to rotate CLOCKWISE to make text readable
-  - Examples:
-    - Text rotated 90° counter-clockwise → return 90 (rotate 90° clockwise)
-    - Text rotated 45° clockwise → return -45 (rotate 45° counter-clockwise)
-    - Text already readable → return 0
+  ### Rotation Analysis (CRITICAL - MAKE TEXT READABLE IN STANDARD ENGLISH)
+  
+  **IMPORTANT: Photos may be at ANY angle. Your job: return the rotation angle to make the PRIMARY LABEL TEXT readable in standard English (horizontal, left-to-right, top-to-bottom).**
+  
+  **The image has EXIF orientation metadata stripped. Analyze it in its RAW/NATIVE state. Measure how much to rotate the image so that the PRIMARY label (the one with the MOST text on the item) reads normally.**
+  
+  **PRIORITY: Focus on the MAIN/PRIMARY label** — ignore secondary labels, vendor logos, barcodes, or other small text zones that may be oriented differently. If multiple text zones conflict, optimize for the largest one.
+  
+  **Algorithm:**
+  1. Identify the PRIMARY text/label — the one with the MOST content (part number, manufacturer, specs, technical details)
+  2. Determine the CURRENT orientation of that text:
+     - Is it horizontal and readable left-to-right? → rotation needed: `0°`
+     - Is it rotated 90° (vertical, pointing up)? → rotation to horizontal: `-90°` or `+90°` (depending on which way)
+     - Is it rotated 180° (upside down)? → rotation to horizontal: `±180°`
+     - Is it tilted at an angle? → measure exact tilt needed to make it horizontal
+  3. **Calculate rotation to STANDARD ENGLISH READING** (horizontal, left-to-right):
+     - Positive value = counter-clockwise rotation needed
+     - Negative value = clockwise rotation needed
+  4. **Return any value in range -180° to +180°** (full circle allowed)
+  
+  **Measurement examples** (make PRIMARY label text readable left-to-right, top-to-bottom):
+     - Primary text already reads normally horizontally → `0°`
+     - Primary text is vertical, pointing up (90° rotated) → `-90°` (rotate clockwise to make horizontal)
+     - Primary text is vertical, pointing down (270° rotated) → `+90°` (rotate counter-clockwise)
+     - Primary text is upside-down (180° rotated) → `+180°` or `-180°` (rotate half-circle)
+     - Primary text at 22° angle (tilted right) → `-22°` (rotate clockwise to level)
+     - Primary text at -35° angle (tilted left) → `+35°` (rotate counter-clockwise to level)
+     - **Multiple labels/zones**: Item has vendor logo at 90° AND main label at 0°. → return `0°` (optimize for PRIMARY/largest label, ignore vendor logo)
+     - **Barcode or small secondary text at odd angle**: Ignore it. Rotate to make PRIMARY label readable.
+     - **No angle limit**: Photos may be taken at any angle. Return whatever rotation makes the PRIMARY label text readable in standard English orientation.

+  # Technical Inventory Hardware Extraction Protocol
+
+  Extract ALL relevant hardware items from the image with precise, standardized formatting.
+
+  ## Filtering Rules
+  - **INCLUDE**: Physical hardware, modules, cables, servers, storage, transceivers
+  - **EXCLUDE**: Generic mounting hardware (screws, brackets, rails), paper licenses, empty packaging
+  - **Multi-item labels**: Treat each SKU/variant as a separate item (e.g., "5m cable" and "7m cable" = 2 items)
+
+  ## Item Field Format (CRITICAL)
+  []
+
+  **Component Rules:**
+  - `<size_or_length>`:
+    - **STORAGE CAPACITY - HUMAN READABLE**: Convert to largest unit (TB/MB).
+      - Examples: "1600GB" → "1.6TB", "256GB" → "256GB", "512MB" → "512MB"
+      - Rule: If ≥1000GB, use TB. If ≥1000MB, use GB. Otherwise use MB.
+    - **CABLE/WIRE LENGTH**: Meters only. Examples: "5m", "10m", "50m"
+    - **RAM DIMM**: Capacity in GB. Examples: "128GB", "32GB", "8GB"
+
+  - `<part_number>`: Part number ONLY if visible. If the item has an identifiable Part Number, search web for what item this is and extract needed informations or compare with what was already identified, and correct all fields. **Omit serial numbers.**
+  - `<type>`: Asset class. One of: DDR3/DDR4/DDR5, SSD/HDD/NVMe, SATA/SAS, Patchcord/Fiber/Cable, SFP/Transceiver, DIMM, etc.
+  - `<vendor>`: Manufacturer (HP, HPE, Dell, Samsung, Cisco, Hynix, Intel, Broadcom)
+  - `<connector>`: Physical interface (RJ45, LC-LC, MPO, U.3, SATA, SAS, ST, SC). Omit if N/A.
+
+  **Item Examples (WITH HUMAN-READABLE SIZES):**
+  - `1.6TB NVMe HPE U.3 P66093-002` (not 1600GB)
+  - `256GB SSD Dell SATA SK-8765` (already human-readable)
+  - `5m Patchcord LC-LC`
+  - `128GB DDR4 Hynix`
+  - `512MB Cache Samsung SATA` (stays MB if under 1GB)
+
+  **Size Conversion Examples:**
+  - 1600GB → 1.6TB
+  - 2048GB → 2TB
+  - 512GB → 512GB (under 1TB threshold)
+  - 256MB → 256MB
+  - 1024MB → 1GB
+
+  **Restrictions:**
+  - No comments in parenthesis
+  - No measurement units in Item field (e.g., "1.6TB" not "1.6TB Storage")
+  - No secondary vendors
+  - No diameter/mm in Item field
+  - ONE vendor only (primary manufacturer)
+
+  ## Other Fields
+  - **Type**: Repeat the asset class (DDR4, SSD, NVMe, Patchcord, etc.)
+  - **Description**: Technical summary, max 5 words. Examples: "High-speed fiber optic", "Enterprise Gen4 storage"
+  - **Category**: Memory, Storage, Network, Cabling, Compute, Optical, Transceiver
+  - **Connector**: Interface type from Item field. Examples: "LC-LC", "RJ45", "U.3"
+  - **Size**: **HUMAN-READABLE capacity or length.** Examples: "1.6TB", "256GB", "5m" (NOT "1600GB")
+  - **Color**: Physical color if distinguishing
+  - **PartNr**: Part number only (no serial numbers)
+  - **OCR**: Robust matching key for OCR tolerance
+
+  ## OCR Field Rules (CRITICAL)
+  Generate a SHORT, clean matching key:
+  - Format: **UPPERCASE space-separated, NO special chars, NO duplicates**
+  - Include ONLY: Type + Size + Primary Vendor + Connector + Part Number
+  - **EXCLUDE**: Serial numbers, secondary vendors, duplicate tokens, EMC/SK labels
+  - **USE HUMAN-READABLE SIZE**: Use TB/GB from Item field, not original notation
+
+  **OCR Format:** `TYPE SIZE VENDOR CONNECTOR PARTNUMBER`
+
+  **OCR Examples (WITH HUMAN-READABLE SIZES):**
+  - Item: `1.6TB NVMe HPE U.3 P66093-002` → OCR: `NVME 1.6TB HPE U3 P66093002`
+  - Item: `5m Patchcord LC-LC` → OCR: `PATCHCORD 5M LC LC`
+  - Item: `256GB SSD Samsung SAS SK-8765` → OCR: `SSD 256GB SAMSUNG SAS SK8765`
+  - Item: `128GB DDR4 Hynix` → OCR: `DDR4 128GB HYNIX`
+
+  **OCR Constraints:**
+  - NO duplicate part numbers
+  - NO secondary vendor names
+  - NO extraneous labels
+  - Each token appears ONE time only
+  - Remove hyphens/special chars for fuzzy matching
+  - Use HUMAN-READABLE sizes (1.6TB not 1600GB)
+
+  ## Image Processing Guidance (NEW)
+
+  Analyze the image layout and return crop/rotation metadata to optimize photo storage:
+
+  ### Crop Bounds Analysis
+  - Identify the PRIMARY ITEM in the image (main object, not background/clutter)
+  - Return bounding box: `{x, y, width, height}` in pixel coordinates
+  - Rules:
+    - `x, y`: top-left corner of item (pixel offset from image top-left)
+    - `width, height`: dimensions of item bounding box
+    - Include minimal padding (10-15 pixels) around item edges
+    - Ignore background clutter, other items, hands, reflections
+
+  ### Rotation Analysis
+  - Check if item labels/text are readable
+  - If text is rotated (not horizontal), calculate rotation needed
+  - Return `rotation_degrees`: degrees to rotate CLOCKWISE to make text readable
+  - Examples:
+    - Text rotated 90° counter-clockwise → return 90 (rotate 90° clockwise)
+    - Text rotated 45° clockwise → return -45 (rotate 45° counter-clockwise)
+    - Text already readable → return 0
+
+  ### Confidence Score
+  - Return `confidence`: 0.0-1.0 indicating reliability of crop/rotation analysis
+  - 0.9+ = High confidence (clear item, readable text)
+  - 0.7-0.89 = Medium confidence (some ambiguity or text partially obscured)
+  - <0.7 = Low confidence (cluttered image, unclear item boundaries)
+
+  ### Output Format (Extended)

 # CURRENT AI WORKING SESSION — HANDOVER

 **Active AI:** Claude Haiku 4.5
-**Last Updated:** 2026-04-21 (Session 29 - Image Pipeline Complete)
-**Current Version:** v1.14.3 (Full image pipeline: extraction, serialization, confirmation, save, display)
-**Branch:** dev (Phase 3 production-ready with user control over photo extraction)
+**Last Updated:** 2026-04-22 (Session 31 - Original Image Storage for Debugging)
+**Current Version:** v1.14.5 (Added original EXIF-stripped image storage for debug panel)
+**Branch:** dev (Phase 3 production-ready with debug image storage)
+
+---
+
+## SESSION 31 SUMMARY — Original Image Storage for Debug Panel
+
+### Problem Identified
+The debug panel was showing the processed (cropped + rotated) image, not the original. This made it impossible to verify that crop bounds and rotation values were correct, since the visualization was of the final result, not the raw input.
+
+### Solution Implemented
+Store the original EXIF-stripped image (before crop/rotation) separately for debugging purposes, accessible from the debug panel.
+
+### Changes Made
+
+**v1.14.5 (Debug Image Storage)**
+
+1. **backend/routers/items.py - `_auto_save_photo_from_extraction()`**:
+   - Before calling `processor.process_photo()`, save the EXIF-stripped `image_bytes` with variant `_debug_original`
+   - Store `original_debug_path` in `db_item.labels_data.image_processing.original_photo_path`
+   - Also store `crop_bounds` and `rotation_degrees` in labels_data for reference
+
+2. **frontend/components/DebugRotationPanel.tsx**:
+   - Add `originalPhotoPath` prop to component interface
+   - Use `displayImageUrl = originalPhotoPath || imageUrl` to prefer original if available
+   - Update useEffect dependency to use `displayImageUrl`
+
+3. **frontend/components/ItemDetailModal.tsx**:
+   - Extract `original_photo_path` from `labels_data.image_processing`
+   - Build full URL using `buildPhotoUrl()` helper
+   - Pass `originalPhotoPath` prop to DebugRotationPanel
+
+### Testing Performed
+- Frontend TypeScript build: ✅ No errors
+- Database structure: ✅ Using existing `labels_data` JSON field (no migrations needed)
+- Component integration: ✅ Props correctly passed through modal → debug panel
+
+### UI Fixes Applied
+- Cleared logs between rotation updates (was continuously expanding)
+- Increased canvas size from 600×450 to 900×600 for better crop box visibility
+- Reorganized layout: left controls + right large preview + single-line log
+- Removed dark overlay hiding the image beneath crop box
+- Added orientation indicators (UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT) to show image direction
+
+**Interactive Crop Box**:
+- Drag entire box to reposition
+- Resize from orange corner handles
+- Reset button to revert to AI bounds
+- Live log shows adjusted vs original bounds
+
+### Debugging Findings from Real Testing
+Test Image 1 (IMG_6188):
+- AI Detected: Rotation 180°, Crop (353, 213) Size 315×454
+- Correct Values: Rotation -165°, Crop (1411.4, 631.32) Size 1292.76×1784.56
+- **Issue**: AI crop was too tight, missing large portions of the item
+- **Action**: Improved crop prompt to emphasize capturing ENTIRE item with 20-30px padding
+
+**Next Steps**: 
+1. Test with 3-5 more diverse images to identify if tight-crop issue is pattern
+2. If pattern confirmed, the updated prompt should improve future detections
+3. Track which item types (cables, drives, modules) have detection issues
+
+---
+
+## SESSION 32 SUMMARY — ImageAdjustmentModal & AI Non-Determinism Discovery
+
+### Critical Finding: AI Model Inconsistency
+Same image (300GB HDD) uploaded 3 times produced different AI results:
+
+**Test 5**: Rotation -162°, Crop (1350, 550) 1550×2150
+**Test 6**: Rotation -106°, Crop (1390, 190) 1440×2580  
+**Test 7**: Rotation +162°, Crop (1350, 650) 1450×1750
+
+**Variance Analysis**:
+- Rotation: -162° to +162° (324° swing, 56° between tests)
+- Crop Y: 190-650 (460px variance)
+- Crop Height: 1750-2580 (830px variance)
+- Confidence: Always 0.98 (misleading - doesn't reflect actual accuracy)
+
+**Conclusion**: Gemini Vision is **non-deterministic** - even identical images produce different results. This is NOT a prompt issue, but a fundamental limitation of the AI model.
+
+### Solution Implemented: User-Controlled Image Adjustment
+
+**New Component: ImageAdjustmentModal** (`frontend/components/ImageAdjustmentModal.tsx`)
+- Shows original image after item save
+- User can adjust before final save
+- Features:
+  - Rotation: Slider (-180° to +180°) + Gesture rotation
+  - Zoom: Scroll wheel (desktop) + Pinch (trackpad/mobile) + Slider
+  - Pan: Drag to move image around canvas
+  - Crop: Preset aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16, Free)
+  - Touch: Full mobile support (pinch zoom, drag pan)
+  - Checkbox: "Use this image" (default ON)
+  - Reset: Button to revert to original state
+
+**Canvas Features**:
+- 800×600px preview
+- Real-time rotation/zoom/pan
+- Transformation-aware rendering
+- Touch event handling for mobile
+
+### Flow Design (Ready for Integration)
+1. User captures photo → AI extracts data
+2. User reviews extracted fields in onboarding modal
+3. User clicks "Save Item" → **Text data saved to DB**
+4. **ImageAdjustmentModal pops up** with original image
+5. User adjusts rotation/crop as needed
+6. User confirms checkbox ("Use this image" ON by default)
+7. **Adjusted image processed & saved** with item
+8. Item finalized
+
+### Integration Checklist (For Next Session)
+- [ ] Import ImageAdjustmentModal in AIOnboarding/create item flow
+- [ ] Add state to track: `showImageAdjustment`, `originalImageBlob`
+- [ ] After "Save Item" API call succeeds → show modal
+- [ ] Pass original image to modal
+- [ ] Handle modal confirm → apply rotation/crop → compress → save
+- [ ] Handle modal cancel → discard image
+- [ ] Update item's `photo_path`, `photo_thumbnail_path` after adjustment
+- [ ] Test full E2E flow with test image
+
+### Key Integration Points
+1. **AIOnboarding.tsx**: Add modal state, pass image
+2. **ImageAdjustmentModal.tsx**: Already created (ready to use)
+3. **Image Processing**: May need new backend endpoint to apply rotation/crop/compress post-adjustment
+4. **Database**: Item already has photo fields, just need to populate after modal
+
+**Status:** ✅ **COMPONENT COMPLETE** — ImageAdjustmentModal ready for integration. AI non-determinism resolved with user-controlled workflow
+
+---
+
+## SESSION 30 SUMMARY — Complete Image Pipeline Finalization
+
+### Issues Fixed
+1. **Crop/Rotation Never Applied**: `rotation_degrees` was extracted but never passed to ImageProcessor
+2. **Image URLs 404**: Relative paths resolved to Next.js origin instead of FastAPI backend
+3. **Image Preview Blank**: No persistence issue, but UI could be clearer
+
+### Root Causes
+1. **Rotation Loss**: `_auto_save_photo_from_extraction()` didn't pass `rotation_degrees` to `process_photo()`
+2. **URL Mismatch**: Frontend requested `/images/storage/...` from port 8907 (Next.js) not 8916 (FastAPI)
+3. **Button Confusion**: Two separate buttons felt complex; simpler checkbox better represents state
+
+### Changes Made
+
+**v1.14.4 (Complete Pipeline)**
+1. **backend/services/image_processing.py**:
+   - Add `rotation_degrees=0` parameter to `process_photo()`
+   - Apply rotation after crop: `image = image.rotate(-rotation_degrees, expand=True)` if abs > 0.5
+
+2. **backend/routers/items.py - `_auto_save_photo_from_extraction()`**:
+   - Pass `rotation_degrees=rotation_degrees or 0` to processor
+   - Allow no-crop fallback: remove early return when `crop_bounds is None`, process with None instead
+
+3. **frontend/lib/api.ts**:
+   - Add `buildPhotoUrl(backendUrl, photoPath)` helper to prepend backend base URL
+
+4. **frontend/app/inventory/page.tsx**:
+   - Fetch `backendUrl` on mount via `getBackendUrl()`
+   - Pass to InventoryTable component
+
+5. **frontend/components/InventoryTable.tsx**:
+   - Accept `backendUrl` prop, use `buildPhotoUrl()` for photo src
+   - Pass to ItemDetailModal
+
+6. **frontend/components/ItemDetailModal.tsx**:
+   - Accept `backendUrl` prop, use `buildPhotoUrl()` for photo src
+
+7. **frontend/components/AIOnboarding.tsx**:
+   - Replace "Use Photo" / "Skip Photo" buttons with single checkbox
+   - Label: "Save this photo with the item" (default checked)
+   - Logic unchanged: `_skipPhoto === true` means skip
+
+### Testing Performed
+- Frontend compiles: ✅ TypeScript strict mode
+- URL construction tested: Backend URL correctly prepended
+- Rotation logic verified: Negative angle for PIL counter-clockwise
+- No-crop fallback verified: Processes without crop_bounds

Daniel Bedeleanu	9f65d427a0	optimize: make debug panel more compact to fit screen Layout changes: - Reduced padding and margins throughout - Changed from 3-column to 2-column layout - Canvas + logs on right side (side-by-side) - Smaller fonts and spacing - Sticky header that stays in view - Max-height with scrolling for modal - Removed footer text to save space - More efficient use of screen real estate Now fits on most screen sizes even with large rotation angles.	2026-04-22 11:08:49 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	f708fb7768	refactor: redesign debug panel with overlay visualization Much better UX for identifying correct rotation: - Shows ORIGINAL image scaled to fit the modal - Draws GREEN bounding box showing the crop area - Draws ORANGE rotated rectangle showing rotation effect - Darkens everything outside the crop area (visual focus) - Rotation slider updates the overlay in real-time - Quick preset buttons for common angles - Detailed debug logs showing all calculations - Better styling: dark theme for readability User can now visually see what will be extracted with the current rotation angle. Report the angle that makes the label readable.	2026-04-22 11:06:01 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	1a774088a1	feat: add debug rotation panel for real-time testing New DebugRotationPanel component allows testing different rotation angles with live preview and detailed debug logs showing: - Current rotation angle (slider + quick presets) - Crop bounds and calculations - Image dimensions at each step - Final processed image preview - Confidence score Integrated into ItemDetailModal via wrench icon in header (only visible when item has a photo). Helps identify correct rotation values for images at any angle. Debug panel shows: - Original image info - Crop bounds and resulting size - Rotation angle and final canvas size - Step-by-step processing logs - Live canvas preview of result	2026-04-22 10:56:27 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	f6d91c92b6	clarify: rotation must optimize for PRIMARY label when multiple zones exist Items often have multiple labels/zones at different orientations: - Main label with part number, specs (PRIMARY) - Vendor logos or small text (secondary) - Barcodes at odd angles Instruction: Always optimize rotation for the PRIMARY label (most text), ignore secondary/vendor labels that conflict in orientation. Examples added showing how to handle items with multiple label zones.	2026-04-22 10:45:00 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	e86f3fa299	refactor: rotation analysis to handle any photo angle Real-world photos come at ANY angle - upside down, sideways, at weird tilts. Stop assuming small angles. Instead: - Measure CURRENT text orientation (horizontal/vertical/upside-down/tilted) - Calculate rotation needed to make it READABLE in standard English - Allow full -180° to +180° range - No artificial limits or assumptions about how operator took the photo Examples: vertical text → ±90°, upside-down → ±180°, tilted → measure tilt This gives Gemini freedom to analyze real-world messy photos correctly.	2026-04-22 10:42:30 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	8091cf8802	refine: clarify rotation analysis for EXIF-stripped raw images Key changes: - Explicitly state image has EXIF orientation stripped (raw/native state) - Return ONLY the tilt angle, not orientation shifts - Expect small angles (-45° to +45°), not large ones - Add safety check: if angle > 45°, likely measurement error - Simplify examples to show tilt-only measurement This ensures Gemini returns consistent, sane rotation values regardless of the item or how the photo was taken, without needing local offsets.	2026-04-22 10:39:23 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	500d090dfc	fix: strip EXIF from image blob in backend before processing Backend receives the original blob which may have EXIF orientation metadata. Strip it before processing to ensure backend analyzes the same raw image space that Gemini analyzed (which had EXIF stripped before sending). This ensures rotation_degrees are applied correctly to the same image state.	2026-04-22 10:32:38 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	bc2a6219fe	refactor: strip EXIF orientation before Gemini analysis for coordinate accuracy Instead of transforming coordinates after Gemini returns crop_bounds, strip EXIF orientation from image before sending to Gemini. This ensures: - Gemini analyzes the same raw image as our backend - crop_bounds are in raw image coordinate space - No coordinate transformation needed - Works for all images (with or without EXIF) Added strip_exif_orientation() utility that removes orientation tag and re-encodes image. Used in extract_label endpoint before sending to Gemini.	2026-04-22 10:29:11 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	1425856af5	fix: transform crop_bounds from EXIF-applied to raw image space Gemini analyzes images with EXIF orientation applied (e.g., 90° CW rotation), returning crop_bounds in that coordinate space. We need to transform them back to raw image coordinates before cropping. For EXIF orientation 6 (Rotate 90 CW): - Raw: 4032×3024 (landscape) - Displayed (after EXIF): 3024×4032 (portrait) - Transform portrait coords back to landscape before cropping This fixes the issue where crop was applied to wrong image region.	2026-04-22 10:25:44 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	ee1fcfbee6	fix: remove duplicate log imports in create_item function	2026-04-22 10:17:34 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	79d8a71c97	fix: import log at module level for extraction logging	2026-04-22 10:15:25 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	9586aecfdc	debug: log file sizes at extraction and processing stages Add logging to compare file sizes: - [EXTRACT] sent to Gemini - [CREATE_ITEM] received when creating item This will reveal if image is being processed/changed between extraction and local processing.	2026-04-22 10:14:03 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	4e23899f87	fix: remove negation from rotation to match prompt semantics New prompt defines rotation_degrees as already signed: - positive = counter-clockwise rotation - negative = clockwise rotation Old code negated it: rotate(-rotation_degrees), which inverted the direction. Now: rotate(rotation_degrees) directly uses Gemini's signed value.	2026-04-22 10:06:29 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	2546f8abbe	refine: clarify rotation analysis to account for text orientation + tilt Previous prompt only measured text baseline angle from horizontal (-45° to +45°), missing that text can be vertical/sideways, requiring larger rotations (up to ±180°). New guidance: - Measure TOTAL rotation needed to make text horizontal and readable - Account for both chassis tilt AND text orientation (horizontal vs vertical) - Example: 22° tilt + 90° vertical text = 112° total rotation - Allows full -180° to +180° range instead of limiting to ±45° No changes to item identification fields, OCR rules, or crop bounds analysis.	2026-04-22 10:01:03 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	92c8517663	debug: add explicit logging to show crop bounds and rotation values	2026-04-22 09:55:53 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	197dcadfee	fix: apply crop bounds before EXIF rotation to match AI analysis Gemini analyzes raw image and returns crop_bounds for that coordinate space. Previous code applied EXIF rotation first, changing image dimensions, then used crop_bounds on the rotated image (coordinate mismatch). Now: crop on raw image (matches AI) → then apply EXIF + manual rotation. This ensures cropped region contains the actual item, not background.	2026-04-22 09:50:08 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	59565c9b8a	improve: comprehensive process cleanup in startup script - Add -9 (force kill) flag to all pkill commands - Kill Python backend processes explicitly - Kill npm and node processes - Use fuser to kill processes bound to ports 8000, 3001, 3002, 3003 - Add 1 second wait after cleanup - Ensures absolutely clean state before restart	2026-04-22 09:45:50 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	70a08ae1e9	improve: add rotation bounds and error detection to AI prompt - Cap normal rotation to -45 to +45 degrees (flags errors beyond) - Add explicit warning about 60°+ being measurement error - Clarify 'safe default' is 0 if uncertain - Prevent Gemini from wild angle guesses (like 110°) - Help AI self-correct measurement errors	2026-04-22 09:44:28 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	1e7dd064f9	improve: clarify rotation detection in AI extraction prompt - Emphasize MEASURING TEXT ANGLE precisely, not item orientation - Add explicit calibration examples (22°, 90°, -45°, etc.) - Clarify positive = counter-clockwise, negative = clockwise - Help AI understand baseline measurement concept - Keep all field identification rules unchanged	2026-04-22 09:40:40 +03:00

Daniel Bedeleanu	f8e54d0f8b	fix: apply rotation before cropping for better text orientation - Move manual rotation before cropping and text detection - Detect text orientation on full rotated image (not just cropped region) - This allows text angle detection to see full context and properly orient labels - Crop happens after orientation correction for cleaner results	2026-04-22 08:58:17 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	09a66bd3d5	feat: clean up image files when item is deleted from catalog - Delete photo_path and photo_thumbnail_path files on item deletion - Handle file not found gracefully with logging - Preserves audit logs while removing actual image files	2026-04-22 08:54:22 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	092271790c	docs: update VERSION and SESSION_STATE for v1.14.4 - Image Pipeline Complete	2026-04-22 08:51:04 +03:00
Daniel Bedeleanu	64d177e791	fix: complete image pipeline - rotation, URL, preview - Add rotation_degrees parameter to ImageProcessor.process_photo() - Pass rotation through _auto_save_photo_from_extraction() to processor - Allow no-crop fallback when crop_bounds is None - Add buildPhotoUrl() helper to resolve backend URLs correctly - Update frontend components to use backend URL for image sources - Replace Use/Skip Photo buttons with checkbox in AI extraction UI - Add images/ to .gitignore to prevent accidental commits Addresses: rotation never applied, image 404s (relative to Next.js not backend), preview blank in edit form	2026-04-22 08:50:25 +03:00
