recipe-form/API routes were never sending/persisting photos on create+update.
PhotoUploader accumulated uploads via a stale closure over the photos prop, so
only the last file of a multi-select survived. Once both were fixed, thumbnails
still 400'd because Next's image optimizer blocks upstream hosts resolving to
private/loopback IPs (localhost:9000 MinIO) — skip optimization for
storage-hosted photos since they're already web-sized user uploads.
Favoriting already worked (heart toggle on the recipe detail page, DB
table, API route) but there was nowhere to see what you'd favorited —
the actual missing piece behind "add a favorites feature".
- New /recipes/favorites page: paginated grid of favorited recipes (cover
photo, difficulty, time, author), sorted by most-recently favorited.
A previously-favorited recipe stays visible even if the author later
goes private, matching the existing private-accounts scope decision
(existing access isn't revoked, only new discovery is affected).
- Unfavoriting from that page removes the card immediately — added an
optional onToggle callback to FavoriteButton for this.
- Added a lightweight "My Recipes / Favorites" tab pair at the top of
/recipes linking between the two, rather than a new top-level nav item
(nav is already at 8 entries).
Deliberately out of scope: favorite toggles on the main recipe grid, feed
cards, or search/explore results — favoriting your own recipes is odd
UX, and wiring session-aware favorited state into the public
(unauthenticated) search route is a separate, bigger change.
