date_from / date_to on /photos, /photos/exif and unified search ran on
the legacy mixed-convention date_taken, so a photo could display inside
a range yet be filtered out of it by up to its UTC offset (or by years,
for rows the filename class re-dated).
The filter lives in the shared ExifDao::query_by_exif, so it's fixed
once there:
- query_by_exif takes Option<date_view::InstantRange> (bounds + display
and server zones) instead of raw date_from / date_to.
- SQL pre-filter: converted rows on date_utc exactly; unconverted rows
(drain pending, permanent floor) on date_taken widened by
LEGACY_INSTANT_BAND_SECS (±15 h, now shared with /memories). Converted
rows are deliberately not bounded by date_taken: a re-dated row's
legacy value can sit years from its instant.
- Exact pass in Rust via InstantRange::contains → row_true_instant, so
every returned row's true instant is inside the range.
Calendar days now mean the owner's days: nl_query::iso_to_unix builds
day bounds in the display zone (it used UTC midnights, which only lined
up with the legacy wall-as-UTC column), and unified search's "today" is
the owner's today rather than UTC's. The midnight-with-DST-gap fallback
moves from memories_anchor into date_view::day_start_instant.
Compatibility: clients already sending real instants (Apollo's
/photos/exif windows) get correct edges with no change. Clients sending
UTC-midnight day bounds see ranges shift by up to the UTC offset until
they send display-zone bounds.
No index on date_utc; the OR clause scans, which is milliseconds at
personal-library scale (same as /memories today).
dev/e2e check gains /photos/exif wall_clock + true_instant assertions and
range-edge checks ([t, t] in, [.., t-1] and [t+1, ..] out). Not run here:
the harness needs the WSL + Windows toolchain.

The mobile viewer anchored its "messages around this photo" window on
the legacy date_taken (a wall clock stored as UTC for EXIF rows), while
SMS-API dates are true instants: the window was off by the photo's UTC
offset (4-5 h for photos taken at home; ImageApi #113 user story 3).
Verified SMS-API side: importers store backup epochs as UTC, and 40/40
sampled rows equal their source epochs exactly.
`/image/metadata` (+ GPS / date mutation responses) now carries
`true_instant` from `date_view::file_true_instant`: `row_true_instant`,
else the filename-class instant, else the earliest fs time. Server-side
for the same reason as `wall_clock`: the drain's permanent floor rows
have no `date_utc`. `set_capture_dates` fills both fields at all four
response sites.
dev/e2e: the manifest records each fixture's expected instant (the wall
read in its GPS zone, else America/New_York) and `e2e.sh check` asserts
it (97/97).

`e2e.sh check` compares every indexed fixture's manifest wall clock with
the `wall_clock` reported by /image/metadata, /memories and
/photos/gps-summary; any disagreement fails.
- Fixture videos are stamped like phone containers: the America/New_York
wall as a UTC creation_time (the label previously showed the UTC time).
- mtimes are pinned in America/New_York instead of the host's zone.
- The e2e env sets TZ=America/New_York (the #120 preflight): the Windows
exe has no /etc/timezone, so server_zone() was otherwise None.
