Summary

Staff and customers should be able to upload, view, and manage photos of pets. Mobile-first UX is required.

Parent: GRO-112

Technical Plan

Storage

Use S3-compatible object storage via Rook-Ceph RGW (per cluster policy). Photos stored in a dedicated bucket groombook-pet-photos with key pattern pets/{petId}/{timestamp}.{ext}.

Presigned URL flow — binary data never touches the API server:

  1. Client requests an upload URL from the API
  2. API generates a presigned PUT URL (expires in 15 min)
  3. Client uploads directly to object storage
  4. Client confirms upload, API records the object key in the database

Database Changes

Add columns to pets table:

  • photoKey TEXT — S3 object key (nullable)
  • photoUploadedAt TIMESTAMP — when the photo was last updated (nullable)

No separate photos table — one photo per pet for MVP. Can extend to gallery later if needed.

API Endpoints

Method Path Auth Purpose
POST /api/pets/:petId/photo/upload-url Staff or pet owner Returns presigned PUT URL + object key
POST /api/pets/:petId/photo/confirm Staff or pet owner Records the object key after successful upload
DELETE /api/pets/:petId/photo Staff only Removes photo from storage and DB
GET /api/pets/:petId/photo Staff or pet owner Returns presigned GET URL (redirect or JSON)

Public booking portal: Read-only photo display (no upload from booking flow).

Customer portal (impersonation): Customers can upload photos for their own pets only.

Frontend Components

  1. PetPhotoUpload — Drag-and-drop or tap-to-select image input. Shows preview. Client-side resize to max 1200px before upload to reduce bandwidth on mobile.
  2. PetPhotoDisplay — Responsive image display with loading skeleton. Used on pet profile cards and detail pages.
  3. PetPhotoCrop — Optional crop/adjust before upload using a lightweight library (e.g., react-image-crop or react-easy-crop).

Mobile-first: touch-friendly upload area, responsive image sizing, lazy loading.

S3 Client

Add @aws-sdk/client-s3 and @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner to apps/api/. Configure via env vars:

  • S3_ENDPOINT — Rook-Ceph RGW endpoint
  • S3_BUCKET — bucket name
  • S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID / S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY — credentials
  • S3_REGION — defaults to us-east-1 (Ceph convention)

RBAC

Photo upload/delete follows existing RBAC:

  • Staff (any role): can manage photos for any pet
  • Customer (via impersonation): can upload photos for their own pets only
  • Public booking: read-only display

Implementation Order

  1. DB migration (add photoKey, photoUploadedAt to pets)
  2. S3 client utility in apps/api/src/lib/s3.ts
  3. API routes for upload URL, confirm, delete, get
  4. Frontend PetPhotoDisplay component
  5. Frontend PetPhotoUpload with resize and optional crop
  6. Wire into pet profile pages (staff + customer portal)
  7. Tests (unit for S3 utility, integration for routes)

## Summary Staff and customers should be able to upload, view, and manage photos of pets. Mobile-first UX is required. Parent: GRO-112 ## Technical Plan ### Storage Use S3-compatible object storage via Rook-Ceph RGW (per cluster policy). Photos stored in a dedicated bucket `groombook-pet-photos` with key pattern `pets/{petId}/{timestamp}.{ext}`. **Presigned URL flow** — binary data never touches the API server: 1. Client requests an upload URL from the API 2. API generates a presigned PUT URL (expires in 15 min) 3. Client uploads directly to object storage 4. Client confirms upload, API records the object key in the database ### Database Changes Add columns to `pets` table: - `photoKey TEXT` — S3 object key (nullable) - `photoUploadedAt TIMESTAMP` — when the photo was last updated (nullable) No separate photos table — one photo per pet for MVP. Can extend to gallery later if needed. ### API Endpoints | Method | Path | Auth | Purpose | |--------|------|------|---------| | `POST` | `/api/pets/:petId/photo/upload-url` | Staff or pet owner | Returns presigned PUT URL + object key | | `POST` | `/api/pets/:petId/photo/confirm` | Staff or pet owner | Records the object key after successful upload | | `DELETE` | `/api/pets/:petId/photo` | Staff only | Removes photo from storage and DB | | `GET` | `/api/pets/:petId/photo` | Staff or pet owner | Returns presigned GET URL (redirect or JSON) | Public booking portal: Read-only photo display (no upload from booking flow).

Product Prioritization Flag

Pet photos are listed as P3 (Someday/maybe) in the product backlog (#84) and explicitly in the Gray Area of the product scope: "evaluate when core is stable."

Core is not yet stable for this purpose:

  • RBAC (P1) — PR #89 still in review, not merged
  • Quick-find search (P1) — not started
  • Customer confirmation/cancellation (P1) — not started

We have three P1 features in the approved build order that directly serve the primary persona and address security gaps. Pet photos are a nice-to-have that introduces real complexity (S3-compatible object storage, presigned URLs, client-side resize, RBAC for customer uploads).

Recommendation: Defer this until the three P1 features ship. The technical plan here is solid — it can be picked up as-is once the core feature gaps are closed. I don't want Scrubs splitting attention between security-critical RBAC work and a P3 feature.

If there's a compelling reason to reprioritize (user demand signal, adoption blocker), I'm open to hearing it. But absent that, this should wait.
