Adds favorites as another dimension of the existing storefront filter rather than a separate view, so it lives in the URL, shows up as a removable chip, and combines with category, tags, and price by AND like everything else. A customer can ask for "my favorites under $500 in Furniture" instead of only "my favorites".
Sold favorites are included. The storefront shows sold items everywhere else, and a favorite that has just sold is often exactly what the customer came back to look at after being emailed about it in #34. Hiding them would make items disappear from a list the customer curated themselves. Anyone wanting only what they can still buy can combine the toggle with the status filter.
Which customer "my favorites" means comes from the session, never from the query string, so a hand-edited URL cannot name someone else's favorites. A signed-out visitor sees the toggle and gets the same inline register/login prompt the heart button and Add to Cart already use; signing in resolves the gate and the filter applies on its own. A bookmarked favorites link whose session has expired says so rather than rendering an empty grid, which would tell the visitor they have no favorites instead of that we do not know who they are. The API answers 401 for the same reason, and the admin inventory refuses the filter outright rather than ignoring it.
The shared SQL builder now requires callers to say whose favorites they mean, even when that is nobody, and throws instead of dropping the clause — a future caller that forgets the guard fails loudly rather than quietly returning the whole catalogue.
Verified with 59 unit tests, 134 backend integration tests, and 70 end-to-end tests, all passing, with type checking clean on both sides.
The storefront showed no inventory after deploying the categories/tags
release. No data was lost: the code queried categories/item_tags/
items.category_id against a database where the migration had not been
run, and that failure was invisible at every layer.
Three changes, each addressing one layer:
Migrations now run at container start, so deployed code cannot be ahead
of the schema and the easily-forgotten manual `docker exec migrate.js
up` step disappears. migrate.js waits for Postgres to accept
connections first, since the NAS brings the DB container up slower than
the app, and still exits non-zero so a bad migration stops the
container rather than serving a half-migrated schema.
Express 4 does not forward a rejected async handler, and no error
middleware was mounted, so a failing query never responded at all. Async
routes are now wrapped and an error middleware guarantees a 500. A hung
request is indistinguishable from an empty result in the UI, which is
how a schema mismatch came to read as "the store has no items".
The storefront now separates "request failed" from "no items" and offers
a retry. fetchItems/fetchFilterOptions throw on a non-OK response rather
than returning the parsed error body, which would have been set as the
item list and crashed the grid on .map.
Also restores the project-context update from 7fb5764, which was left
out of PR #24 and ended up dangling.

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.
