Adding photos

The site never reads the NAS at runtime. It renders only from content/photos.json, which is generated from a curated set of originals:

1. Drop picks into photos-src/<Album Name>/*.jpg — the folder name becomes the album title. photos-src/ is gitignored (originals stay local).
2. Run bun run photos. For each image this:
   • resizes to max 2560px and re-encodes as WebP into public/photos/<album-slug>/
   • strips all EXIF/GPS metadata from the published file
   • records only camera/exposure info (never GPS) in the manifest for captions
3. Commit content/photos.json and public/photos/ — both are checked in so builds are deterministic.

Folders named close ups (any spelling) are refused by a hard-coded denylist and will never be published.

The hero image is the first photo of the first album (albums and files sort alphabetically) — rename files to control ordering.
