Uploaded images have no automatic cleanup / orphan garbage collection

[rmdevpro]

Problem

Uploaded images are stored at /app/client/public/images/ (now mounted to /mnt/ssd1/workspace/henson/uploads). Files are deleted when explicitly removed via the UI, but there is no:

• TTL / expiration on old files
• Size limit on the uploads directory
• Scheduled cleanup of orphaned files (files on disk with no matching record in MongoDB)

Over time this will fill the disk.

Suggested Fix

Add a cron job or scheduled task that:

1. Queries MongoDB files collection for all referenced file paths
2. Scans the uploads directory
3. Deletes files on disk with no matching DB record
4. Optionally: deletes files older than N days

Priority

Low — single-user deployment, not urgent.
