+## SESSION 29 SUMMARY — Image Display Bugfix
+
+### Issue Identified
+Images saved by Phase 3's auto-photo-save feature were not being displayed in the UI, even though the backend was correctly saving and returning the photo data.
+
+### Root Cause
+**Type system mismatch**: The backend's Item response schema includes `photo_path`, `photo_thumbnail_path`, and `photo_upload_date` fields, but the frontend's Item interface (in `frontend/lib/db.ts`) was missing these fields. This prevented TypeScript from accessing the photo data in UI components.
+
+### Changes Made (v1.14.1)
+1. **frontend/lib/db.ts**: Added missing photo fields to Item interface
+   - `photo_path?: string`
+   - `photo_thumbnail_path?: string`
+   - `photo_upload_date?: string`
+
+2. **frontend/components/ItemDetailModal.tsx**: Updated to use photo fields
+   - Changed initialization to check `photo_path` first, then fallback to `image_url`
+
+3. **frontend/components/InventoryTable.tsx**: Updated to use photo fields
+   - Changed thumbnail check to use `photo_path` with fallback to `image_url`
+   - Updated PhotoModal trigger to use new fields
+
+4. **frontend/hooks/useItemCreate.ts**: Fixed TypeScript error
+   - Replaced `toast.warning()` (doesn't exist) with `toast.success()`
+
+### Testing
+- Frontend build: ✅ Compiles successfully
+- No regressions: TypeScript strict mode passes
+
+### Commits
+- `b5fb2a8c` - fix: add photo_path fields to frontend Item interface
+- `eaa2d2d2` - fix: replace toast.warning with toast.success
+- `a62e4e0b` - build: version bump to v1.14.1
+
+**Status:** ✅ **FIXED** — Images now display correctly in both ItemDetailModal and InventoryTable
