The first iPhone driver photos (Thabo, 2026-10-20, PO202610003TEL and
PO26100702STK) arrived as HEIC. The AI only takes JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF, so
the reads were saved as "skipped — Not an image (.heic)" and Check with
AI kept answering 0 files read, 0 lines checked; skipped reads were never
retried.
- heic-to-jpeg.ts: HEIC/HEIF → JPEG with heic-convert (pure JS/WASM;
sharp's prebuilt binaries can't decode HEVC HEIC), downscaled to 1600px
like the PB thumb. defaultFetchFile uses it (PB has no HEIC thumbs).
- HEIC/HEIF count as readable images; a read an older version "skipped"
for a now-readable type is re-read, and the tick treats it as unread.
- next.config: heic-convert / heic-decode / libheif-js are server
externals (libheif's WASM loader uses a dynamic require).
Verified on the live photo: 1 MB HEIC → 315 KB JPEG in ~1 s, readable.
