Customers can favorite and unfavorite items from the storefront, opt in to being told when a favorite is sold to someone else, and manage that preference from their account page.
The opt-in is a consent of its own rather than the existing marketing flag. Being told that a specific item you asked about has gone is a narrower thing than agreeing to marketing, and folding one into the other would leave marketing_consent_text no longer describing what was actually agreed to. It is recorded the same way as the marketing consent — flag, timestamp, and the exact wording shown — and accepting it does not set marketing_consent.
The prompt appears only after a customer has actually favorited something, so the reason for asking is concrete rather than an abstract marketing ask, and it says plainly that it is separate from marketing email. Declining keeps the favorite.
Notifications fire when an item reaches sold, either through checkout or an admin marking it sold, and never to the buyer — telling someone the item they just bought is unavailable reads as a bug. Reserved is deliberately not a trigger: reservations expire and get released, so a "gone" email would often be about an item still for sale. Disabled accounts are excluded, per #33.
completeCheckout now returns the sold item ids and the buyer so its three call sites can notify after COMMIT. Sending inside the transaction would email people about a sale that then rolled back, and would hold the transaction open for SMTP. Each message is sent independently so one bad address cannot stop the rest, and the sale has already succeeded regardless.
Favoriting while signed out opens the existing inline register/login modal, exactly as Add to Cart does, and completes the favorite on success.
Also fixes a latent bug in the same component: while the session was still resolving, `customer` is null for a signed-in visitor too, so clicking Add to Cart or the new heart in that window prompted them to sign in again. Both now ignore clicks until the session has resolved, and the control shows as loading meanwhile.

Adds a self-referencing categories tree, a tag registry with
deterministic colours, and item_tags, plus admin CRUD for both.
GET /api/items now accepts category, tags, min_price and max_price.
Category matching walks the subtree with a recursive CTE so selecting a
parent includes everything filed beneath it; tags match with AND via a
count check, since ANY() alone would return items carrying only one of
them. Malformed filter params return 400 rather than being ignored, so a
broken link doesn't quietly list the whole catalogue.
GET /api/filters serves the drawer its tree, tags, and price bounds in
one request.
Item image/tag aggregation moves from LEFT JOIN + GROUP BY to scalar
subqueries. Joining two one-to-many relations multiplies their rows, so
an item with 2 images and 3 tags would have repeated every image three
times once tags were added.
