Introduce checkup_checked/checkup_fixed on paintings with Checkup page filters and API. Fixed paintings auto-mark as reviewed. Add find-duplicates tooling and document debug/checkup workflow. Include Botticelli and Michelangelo image fixes from checkup. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Art Gallery — REST API
Base URL in development:
- Direct:
http://localhost:3001 - Via Vite proxy:
http://localhost:5173(same paths)
All JSON responses use Content-Type: application/json. Errors return { "error": "message" } with an appropriate HTTP status.
Static images are served at /images/<relative-path> from IMAGE_DIR.
GET /api/bounds
Returns the overall timeline year range used to initialise the zoomable timeline.
Response
{
"min_year": -800,
"max_year": 2100
}
min_year is the earliest art movement start; max_year is the latest of era ends, movement ends, and artist death years.
GET /api/timeline
Historical eras and art movements overlapping a year window.
Query
| Param | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
start |
int | -3000 | Window start year |
end |
int | 2100 | Window end year |
Response
{
"eras": [ { "id": 1, "name": "Renaissance", "start_year": 1300, "end_year": 1600, "start_definite": false, "end_definite": false, "description": "...", "sort_order": 3 } ],

Query
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
start |
int | Only artists alive after this year |
end |
int | Only artists born before this year |
movement_id |
int | Filter by movement |
Response — array of artist objects with joined movement_name and movement_color.
GET /api/movements/:id/artists
Artists belonging to a single movement.
Response — array of { id, name, birth_year, death_year, portrait_path, bio_short }.
GET /api/artists/:id
Full artist profile for the bio page and 3D gallery entry.
Response
{
"artist": {
"id": 1,
"name": "...",
"birth_year": 1840,
"death_year": 1926,
"movement_name": "...",
"portrait_path": "portraits/Claude_Monet.jpg",
"bio_short": "First two sentences from Wikipedia…",
"bio_full": "Full Wikipedia lead section…",

"paintings": [ { "id": 10, "title": "...", "year": 1498, "image_path": "...", "thumbnail_path": "...", "wikipedia_title": "...", "has_influence_links": true, ... } ]
}
Each painting includes has_influence_links (boolean) — true when the work appears in any painting_influences row as source or target. The 3D gallery uses this to show a golden lamp above the frame.
Populate biographies with npm run fetch-artist-bios (see data-and-images.md).
GET /api/artists/:id/navigation
Related artists for hall-to-hall navigation at the exit doorway. Derived from painting_influences:
- Predecessors — artists whose works influenced this artist’s paintings.
- Successors — artists whose works were influenced by this artist’s paintings.
Both lists are grouped by art movement and exclude the current artist.
Response
{
"predecessors": [
{
"movement_id": 4,
"movement_name": "Early Renaissance",
"movement_color": "#B8860B",
"artists": [
{
"id": 12,
"name": "Domenico Ghirlandaio",
"birth_year": 1448,

}
]
}
],
"successors": []
}
POST /api/artists/:id/preload-images
Fast local scan: links paintings to files already on disk. Does not download from the internet (safe to call before opening the 3D gallery).
Response
{ "fetched": 12, "total": 15 }
fetched counts paintings with a resolvable local image after the scan.
GET /api/paintings/:id
Painting detail with influence graph neighbours.
Response
{
"painting": { "id": 10, "title": "...", "artist_name": "...", "image_path": "...", "has_influence_links": true, ... },
"influencedBy": [
{
"source_type": "painting",
"id": 3, "title": "...", "artist_name": "...", "year": 1885,
"notes": "...", "aspects": "...", "quote": "...", "source_author": "...", "source_url": "..."
},
{
"source_type": "artist",

"movement_id": 8, "movement_name": "Fauvism", "movement_color": "#c45c26",
"period_start_year": 1905, "period_end_year": 1907
}
],
"influenced": [ { "source_type": "painting", "id": 20, "title": "...", ... } ]
}
painting.has_influence_links matches the flag on GET /api/artists/:id paintings (see above).
GET /api/paintings/:id/image
Serves a painting image file. Resolves and caches from external sources only when no local file exists.
Query
| Param | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
size |
thumb, full |
thumb |
Returns the image bytes with Cache-Control: public, max-age=86400, or 404 if unavailable.
Developer image audit
Routes for the Checkup page and Debug mode on painting detail. Register GET /api/paintings/checkup before GET /api/paintings/:id so "checkup" is not parsed as a painting id.
GET /api/paintings/checkup
Full-catalog audit table for the Checkup UI.
Response
{
"paintings": [
{
"id": 36,
"title": "Trinity",

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
checked |
Reviewed in checkup workflow (checkup_checked) |
fixed |
Image replaced via Fix (checkup_fixed) |
detail_on_demand |
true when detail would use GET /api/paintings/:id/image?size=full |
gallery_file_exists / detail_file_exists |
Disk check under IMAGE_DIR |
PATCH /api/paintings/:id/checkup-flags
Update review flags. Body: { "checked"?: boolean, "fixed"?: boolean } — at least one field required.
Setting fixed: true also sets checked: true. While fixed is true, the API rejects clearing checked.
Response
{ "checked": true, "fixed": false }
GET /api/paintings/:id/debug-image-search
Google-family image search for debug / checkup (Custom Search → Google Arts & Culture → scrape → DuckDuckGo). Used by Search visible on the Checkup page and the debug panel on painting detail.
Response
{
"query": "Andrei Rublev Trinity painting",
"imageUrl": "https://…",
"source": "google-arts",
"pageUrl": "https://…"
}
POST /api/paintings/:id/fix-image
Download a remote URL and replace the painting’s local full image + thumbnail. Sets checkup_fixed = true and checkup_checked = true.
Body
{ "imageUrl": "https://…" }
Response
{
"imagePath": "paintings/Artist_Title.jpg",
"thumbnailPath": "paintings/thumbs/Artist_Title_thumb.jpg",
"fixed": true,
"checked": true
}
GET /api/debug/image-proxy
Proxy a remote image URL for debug preview (avoids hotlink / CORS blocks in the browser).
Query: url — must be http:// or https://
Returns image bytes with appropriate Content-Type.
