Part of #1065. Adds media storage (ADR-0013) and moves audit-logged audio and images out of the database.

What changes for users

  • Audio and images captured with LOGGING_LOG_AUDIO_BODIES / LOGGING_LOG_IMAGE_BODIES are written to media storage instead of being base64-encoded into the audit document. The 8 MB audio cap, the per-entry image budget and the too_large placeholder are gone; a streamed speech response is stored whole as it is relayed.
  • New config: MEDIA_STORAGE_TYPE (filesystem, default, or memory) and MEDIA_STORAGE_PATH (default data/media, same rule as the SQLite path). Startup warns when media logging is on and the path is on an ephemeral container filesystem.
  • Media follows the audit retention (LOGGING_RETENTION_DAYS) via an hourly sweep. Rows written before this change keep their inline base64 and still render in the dashboard.
  • New admin route GET /admin/media/{id} streams a stored object with range support, scoped by user path like /admin/audit/detail. The dashboard fetches media with the bearer token and plays it from an object URL.

Design

  • internal/blobstore: filesystem and memory backends behind a four-method interface; keys are validated, writes are temp-file plus rename.
  • internal/mediastore: media_objects records (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, memory) paired with a blob store; blobs are laid out as <kind>/<yyyy>/<mm>/<dd>/<id>.<ext> so a mounted volume is browsable.
  • file_mappings stays the public Files API index; media_objects is the storage ledger. Audit media never appears in /v1/files.
  • Storage backends are compiled in, not plugins; a native S3 backend is the planned follow-up, with /v1/videos building on the same service.

Also skips the gitignored .claude directory in the test-conventions scan.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Audit audio and image content is stored externally and referenced from audit records.
    • Added configurable filesystem or in-memory media storage with retention-based cleanup.
    • Added an authenticated admin endpoint for streaming stored media, including range-request support.
    • Full-length audio and image capture is supported.
    • Dashboard audit views load stored media on demand and show an unavailable message when content expires or is removed.
  • Documentation

    • Added media storage configuration, API, and retention guidance.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds configurable filesystem or memory media storage. Audit audio and image bodies now use stored media IDs. The application serves scoped media downloads with range support, and the dashboard loads stored media asynchronously.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3d76f

Short-lived media may expire prematurely, while rare combined storage failures can leave orphaned blobs indefinitely; these retention risks should be addressed before relying on the new media backend.

🟡 Minor · Round positive TTL expiry upward during normalization. · service.go:92

internal/mediastore/service.go:92
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Round positive TTL expiry upward during normalization.

Begin computes ExpiresAt from the full-precision clock, then normalizeObject truncates it to seconds. A one-second TTL created at 10:00:00.900 therefore expires at 10:00:01, after only 100 ms. Round ExpiresAt upward when it is not already aligned to a second, and add a fractional-second regression test.

Suggested fix
 if !normalized.ExpiresAt.IsZero() {
-	normalized.ExpiresAt = normalized.ExpiresAt.UTC().Truncate(time.Second)
+	normalized.ExpiresAt = normalized.ExpiresAt.UTC()
+	truncated := normalized.ExpiresAt.Truncate(time.Second)
+	if truncated.Before(normalized.ExpiresAt) {
+		truncated = truncated.Add(time.Second)
+	}
+	normalized.ExpiresAt = truncated

P1 Failed replacement loses data

When a new writer replaces an existing blob, os.Rename has already overwritten the committed file before directory synchronization runs. If that synchronization fails, this cleanup removes w.target, which is now the replacement file; the previous value cannot be recovered. The commit reports an error, but a previously stored audit-media blob has been irreversibly lost.

Artifacts

Deterministic replacement and directory-sync failure repro test

  • Temporary Go test used to replace an existing blob and inject the post-rename directory sync failure; it directly exercises the reported loss condition.

Baseline successful blob replacement output

  • Captured command output shows a normal replacement commit succeeds and key k contains new, establishing the replacement contract.

Injected post-rename directory-sync failure output

  • Captured command output shows Commit returns the injected directory-sync error and Open(k) returns blob not found, proving the old blob is lost.

Full blobstore test suite output with repro test

  • Captured full internal blobstore suite output shows all existing tests and both behavioral repro tests pass, confirming the narrow check ran in the package suite.
