The curated `image_exif` columns are a small slice of what exiftool
can read (camera/lens/GPS/capture/dates). Apollo's DETAILS modal wants
to surface everything — white balance, metering, MakerNotes, IPTC,
ICC profile, Composite tags, the lot — for an operator inspecting a
photo's provenance.
`read_full_exif_via_exiftool(path)` shells out to `exiftool -j -G -n`:
JSON output, group-prefixed keys (`EXIF:Make`, `MakerNotes:LensInfo`),
numeric values (callers can reformat). Spawned via web::block to keep
it off the actix worker — RAW with rich MakerNotes can take a few
seconds.
The endpoint is on-demand only; the indexer / file watcher does NOT
call it. Falls back to 503 with a clear message when exiftool isn't
on PATH so Apollo can render an "install exiftool" hint. Multi-library
union resolution mirrors set_image_gps / get_file_metadata.
