Browsing a large photo library no longer floods the backend with thumbnail requests. While the user scrolls, only thumbnails already saved on the device are shown; the missing ones are downloaded once the user stops, and only for the photos still on screen, so photos scrolled past are never requested. At most 6 thumbnails download at the same time.
Photos now keeps its own 200 MB thumbnail cache, separate from Drive's previews, so browsing one no longer pushes the other's thumbnails out and photos already seen are not downloaded again. Saving a newer version of a cached thumbnail now replaces the old one; before, the outdated thumbnail stayed and was downloaded again every time it was shown (this also affected Drive previews).
Unit tests have been written or updated as necessary.
The code adheres to the repository's coding standards.
Relevant documentation has been added or updated.
No new warnings or errors have been introduced.
SonarCloud issues have been reviewed and addressed.
QA Passed
Testing Process
Unit tests cover no more than 6 thumbnails downloading at once, the next one starting when one arrives, photos scrolled past never being requested, downloads working again after leaving Photos mid-scroll, Photos thumbnails being stored apart from Drive previews, and a newer thumbnail replacing an outdated one.
Additional Notes
The local database moves to version 8 to add the Photos thumbnails store; existing data is kept. If this PR ever needs to be reverted, keep the database at version 8 (and its upgrade step): browsers refuse to open IndexedDB with a lower version, so going back to 7 would break the local database for users who already opened this version. The page is still not linked from the sidebar.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added dedicated local caching for photo thumbnails, separate from Drive file previews. Cached thumbnails refresh when a photo changes.
Thumbnail downloads are limited to six at a time. Downloads pause while scrolling and resume when scrolling stops.
Bug Fixes
Replacing a cached item now updates its value and size correctly, including when an earlier cache write was missed.
Concurrent cache writes are handled in sequence to keep cached values and LRU tracking consistent.
Review was skipped as selected files did not have any reviewable changes.

Walkthrough
The change adds separate IndexedDB storage for photo thumbnails, connects it to thumbnail retrieval and persistence, and queues thumbnail downloads with a six-task concurrency limit. Downloads pause during timeline scrolling and resume when scrolling stops. The change also updates LRU cache replacement behavior.
The database version changes to 8, and the photos_thumbnails store is added. A 200 MiB LRU cache manager and database functions read and write thumbnail blobs with their updatedAt values. Tests check separation from Drive previews and retrieval of the later thumbnail value.
The Photos service checks the photo-thumbnail cache, queues uncached downloads with a maximum of six concurrent tasks, and stores completed thumbnails. The timeline pauses and resumes downloads during scrolling. Tests cover cache behavior, concurrency, scrolling, and reopening Photos.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review 49f48
Photo thumbnail caching and paced downloads look safe to merge. The remaining cache edge case at most causes an occasional re-download of a thumbnail.

Explanation
The title "PB-7047: feat/pace thumbnail downloads" names the main change: pacing Photos thumbnail downloads. The changeset limits concurrent downloads to six, defers downloads until scrolling stops, and adds a separate thumbnail cache. The ticket prefix and the "feat/" branch-style prefix add noise, but the title still names the primary change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template sections: Description, Related Issues, Related Pull Requests, Checklist, Testing Process, and Additional Notes. It explains the reason for the change, the six-download cap, the separate 200 MB cache, and the database version 8 upgrade. Gaps: the Related Issues section gives a Jira key but no GitHub issue link, which the template asks for. The Related Pull Requests section lists stacked PRs without the Repository/Branch format. Several checklist items remain unchecked (local testing, documentation, SonarCloud, QA), which the author should confirm before merge.
Resolution
Optionally add the GitHub issue link or confirm the Jira key is sufficient. Format the stacked PRs as links in the template format. Complete or confirm the unchecked checklist items, including local testing, documentation, SonarCloud review, and QA.

- Around line 39-40: Update the LRUCache size-accounting flow around
cache.getSize(key) so replacing a failed write removes the size previously
included in currentSize even when the key is missing from storage; preserve
accurate accounting without subtracting more than was accounted. Extend the
lost-write test to assert that itemsListSize matches the total size of stored
entries.
- Around line 37-41: Update the LRU cache mutation flow around `this.lruList`
and `this.cache.getSize` so an index captured before an await cannot be used to
remove a different entry afterward. Serialize mutations across asynchronous
steps, including read-triggered mutations, or revalidate that the intended entry
is still the one being removed before changing the list; keep size accounting
and eviction metadata consistent.

Remove the accounted size when replacing a failed write.
If an earlier storage write failed, currentSize still includes its size, but getSize(key) returns zero. The added lost-write test therefore finishes with itemsListSize equal to 50, although the stored entries total 30.
Repeated failures retain this excess accounting and evict valid thumbnails unnecessarily. Reconcile missing entries or retain their accounted sizes before replacing them. Extend the lost-write test to assert itemsListSize.
