fix(node): index, serve and write files past Windows' MAX_PATH

2026-10-14T09:17:38Z

With the system's default setting (LongPathsEnabled off) every call given a plain path of 260 characters or more refuses it, so a deep library was partly invisible: the walk could not list such a directory and its files never reached the members. The node now hands each call that touches a group's disk the extended form (paths.long_path), and keeps the plain path in the index, the hash cache and the log. A directory is listed under its long form and its entries named from the plain one (indexer.walk_files, wire._walk_dirs). Covered: the walk, stats and hashing, reconcile and the watcher, the folder list members see, serving over WebRTC and QUIC, deletion, uploads and their recovery, folder creation and removal, audio tags and the cover beside a track, photos, and a show's episode numbering. ffmpeg extends a long path itself and keeps the plain one. long_path now normalises before prefixing (the extended form skips the system's normalisation) and starts at 248 characters, where creating a directory is already refused. test_long_paths.py runs with the setting off: 15 of its 17 tests fail without the change. Checked by hand in the installed app with files at 312 to 380 characters. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Videos in a photo folder are thumbnailed by the node, counted and marked in the album, and played in the group's video player from the lightbox; the slideshow passes them by. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

refactor(node): move per-app enrichment out of NodeDaemon

The _enrich_*/_reenrich_* methods and _on_enriched become EnrichmentMixin in meshbay_node/enrichment.py, with the two directory helpers only they use. APP_DIR_KEYS stays on NodeDaemon. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
