+"""Pictures on the board.
+
+Three decisions worth stating, because each one is a place this could have
+gone wrong quietly.
+
+**Not in the site repository.** `content.py` uploads pictures by committing
+them, which is right for a post that is about to be published. A photo attached
+to a thread in here is the opposite: it is private, and committing it would put
+it through the build pipeline and out onto vienalatina.com. These go to a
+directory on disk that only this app serves, behind the same login as the
+thread they belong to.
+
+**The file says what it is; the filename is an opinion.** `content.py` trusts
+the extension, which is tolerable there because Hugo serves the result as a
+static file. Here *we* serve it back, so the type is read from the first bytes
+and the name the browser sent is never used for anything but display. A file
+called `gato.png` that is really HTML is refused, rather than stored and later
+handed back with a content type that invites the browser to run it.
+
+**The directory lives inside the volume that gets backed up.** `/data/uploads`
+sits next to `board.db` in the same mount, so there is one thing to back up,
+not two — and `scripts/backup-board.sh` covers both.

+### 11.9 Pictures on the board
+
+Members can attach images when they start a thread or reply. Nothing to
+install: the files go to `/data/uploads` inside the container, which is
+`/srv/board/data/uploads` on the host — the same volume that already holds
+`board.db`, so there is one directory to back up rather than two.
+
+**They are deliberately not in the site repository.** `/comunidad/contenido/`
+uploads pictures by committing them, which is right for a post about to be
+published. A photo in a private thread is the opposite: committing it would
+send it through the build pipeline and out onto vienalatina.com. These are
+served by the app, behind the same login as the thread.
+
+Three things the code does that are worth knowing if you ever change it:
+
+- **The type is read from the first bytes, not the filename.** A file called
+  `gato.png` containing HTML is refused. Served back as `image/png` from our
+  own domain, it would otherwise be a script running on vienalatina.com.
+- **The stored name is generated.** The name the browser sent is kept only as
+  text to show a person, never as a path.
+- **Deleting a post hides its pictures.** Threads and comments are soft-deleted,
+  so the serving route checks the parent is still live. Without that, taking a
+  post down would leave its photo readable by anyone who noted the URL.
+
+Limits: 4 images per message, and `BOARD_UPLOAD_MAX_BYTES` (8MB by default)
+each. Adding a picture to a post *after* publishing it means posting a reply —
+editing changes the words, and leaves the pictures alone.

@@ -586,6 +625,44 @@ How often anyone sees them is worth knowing before judging the result: the
 and the **sign-in form only when their Gitea session has lapsed**, which
 "Remember This Device" pushes out to weeks. This is a first-impression fix.
 
+### The name, not just the colours
+
+Themed or not, those two screens said **Gitea** — in the tab, the heading and
+the footer. A member has no idea what that is, and for anyone the platform is
+ever sold to it is a competitor's name on their login page. Three settings in
+`/srv/gitea/docker-compose.yml` take care of it:
+
+```
+GITEA__DEFAULT__APP_NAME=Viena Latina
+GITEA__other__SHOW_FOOTER_POWERED_BY=false
+GITEA__other__SHOW_FOOTER_VERSION=false
+```
+
+`APP_NAME` lives in `app.ini`'s unnamed root section, which the environment
+mapping spells `DEFAULT`. **Check it took**, because a key written to a section
+that does not exist is accepted in silence:
+
+```sh
+cd /srv/gitea && sudo docker compose up -d
+sudo docker compose exec gitea head -5 /data/gitea/conf/app.ini
+```
+
+That should show `APP_NAME = Viena Latina`. Hiding the version is the one with
+a security argument as well as a cosmetic one: it tells a passer-by exactly
+which advisories to try.
+
+**On the licence**, since this is rebranding somebody else's software: Gitea is
+MIT, whose only obligation is that the copyright and permission notice travel
+with copies of the software. We are not redistributing it — the official image
+runs unmodified, with its own `LICENSE` file untouched, and we talk to it over
+HTTP. MIT requires no attribution in a user interface, and Gitea itself ships
+`SHOW_FOOTER_POWERED_BY` as a supported setting, which settles what the project
+intends. The name is a trademark of Gitea Limited; that restricts using it to
+brand something else, not declining to display it. Redistributing a modified
+Gitea under its own name would be a different question — this is not that.
+
+### The theme

 Unlike Decap, Gitea supports this properly: a theme is a CSS file in a directory
 it already reads.
