Cimmich v1.0.1 — Public Beta

Cimmich is moving from its preserved OpenAI Build Week edition into active
public-beta development.

The exact Build Week submission remains available unchanged as
Cimmich v1.0.0 — OpenAI Build Week release,
including its source revision, Cedar House archive, checksums and demo links.

What is new

• Owner-operable Private view password. Signed-in owners can set, reset or
  turn off the presentation-filter password from Settings, without database or
  command-line access. Credential changes revoke live Private sessions.
• A truthful Cimmich / Immich boundary. Cimmich photo surfaces retain their
  viewing-mode control; plain Immich viewers now state Immich view · All photos visible instead of presenting a control that cannot filter Immich's
  underlying photo stream.
• Reachable per-photo visibility. Cimmich viewers expose a separate This photo action for the selected asset's Standard, Personal or Private tier.
• Browser-safe credential removal. CORS preflight now permits the DELETE
  used to turn off the Private filter, with regression coverage.
• Clearer operational guidance. Installation, security, FAQ and visibility
  documentation now explain the screen-filter boundary and owner recovery path.

Beta boundary

Cimmich remains an early public release. Evaluate it with the synthetic demo
before connecting a private archive. Immich owns account access; Cimmich's
Private password controls what Cimmich draws on screen and is not a replacement
for device or account security. The supported companion baseline remains exact
Immich 3.0.3.

Release proof

The tagged revision passed:

• 597 service tests and dependency audits;
• 776 web tests (2 skipped), formatting, lint, Svelte, TypeScript and production build;
• fresh, concurrent, interrupted and resumed migration acceptance; and
• the full disposable synthetic product lifecycle, including the repository privacy-leak scan.
