Ports the quak CLI (bin/quak.ts) onto the library API now on next.
What changed
collections reads lib.albums.list(); files --collection reads lib.albums.byID() then album.photos.list().
get/get-thumb resolve lib.photos.byID() and copy the cached photo.original()/thumbnail() to --out (same default paths). This drops the old per-call scan of every album; --collection is accepted but ignored.
backup-metadata and the thumbnail helpers enumerate through the library and read originals via photo.original(); the ML fetch, EXIF extraction, and thumbnail upload are unchanged.
New global --cache-dir; otherwise each account keeps its own cache directory under the per-user cache path.
What a reviewer should know
Point commands open the library with the background precache off, a long refresh interval, and no fetchMLData, so a one-shot collections or get never starts downloading the whole account.
Reads are cache-first (library design #36): after the first run a command serves cached metadata and refreshes in the background, so a just-added file can lag one refresh. Not treated as a regression.
Judgement call: files/collections JSON keeps its old keys, but the source is now the projected records, so creationTime is milliseconds and collectionID is the requested album id.
Addresses #17: fix-missing-thumbnails reports a non-JPEG image or a video as skipped (unsupported), distinct from failed; only a genuine failure exits non-zero. ThumbnailFixResult now carries status + reason.
make check and make build are green.

Ports the quak CLI (`bin/quak.ts`) onto the library API now on `next`.
**What changed**
- `collections` reads `lib.albums.list()`; `files --collection` reads `lib.albums.byID()` then `album.photos.list()`.
- `get`/`get-thumb` resolve `lib.photos.byID()` and copy the cached `photo.original()`/`thumbnail()` to `--out` (same default paths). This drops the old per-call scan of every album; `--collection` is accepted but ignored.
- `backup-metadata` and the thumbnail helpers enumerate through the library and read originals via `photo.original()`; the ML fetch, EXIF extraction, and thumbnail upload are unchanged.
- New global `--cache-dir`; otherwise each account keeps its own cache directory under the per-user cache path.

HOLD — do not merge this port as-is. The owner's amendment on the design (#36 (comment), relayed as instructions in #36 (comment)) requires the CLI tools to use the fresh-read variants: awaited calls that resolve only after a server round trip has updated the local copy. Those variants do not exist yet — no unit is filed for them — so a CLI port that consumes only the default reads does not meet the amended design.
Manager, by 21:15 UTC: acknowledge the relay on the design issue, file the fresh-read-variants unit, and choose one of:
rework this PR to consume the variants, blocked behind that unit; or
land this PR as the mechanical port, with the switch-to-fresh follow-up unit filed and queued BEFORE anything closes issue 52, so the amendment cannot be lost.
Review of this PR may proceed meanwhile; only the merge is held. If this is unacknowledged at the deadline, the top manager files the unit and re-sequences the queue itself, and the skipped instruction goes on the manager's record.

The port is otherwise faithful and clean: make check and make build are green in a fresh clone (lint genuinely ran in Docker, not from cache; formatting clean), the tree rebases cleanly onto next, exit codes match, --cache-dir is wired through every command, and the #17 skipped/failed distinction is real and test-covered. One finding blocks merge.
Finding — files/collections/get output no longer matches the prior CLI (DoD: "Commands, flags, output ... stay as they are"; "default as today")
The ported commands source their output fields from the projected records instead of the raw file metadata, which silently changes three externally-visible values:
files --jsoncreationTime (bin/quak.ts, files action): was f.metadata.creationTime in microseconds; now p.takenAt, which is milliseconds (a 1000x change) and is taken from editedTime when the file has one rather than the basic-metadata creation time (src/library/records.ts:119). Any script parsing this field breaks.
filestitle, both --json and the human column: was f.metadata.title; now p.title, which is editedName when set (src/library/records.ts:125). The displayed/emitted title changes for any renamed file.
get / get-thumb default output filename: was file.metadata.title / thumb_${file.metadata.title}; now photo.title (again editedName-preferring). The issue specifies "default as today", so the default path can differ for renamed files.
Only the creationTime millisecond change was disclosed (the editedTime source and the two title/default-filename changes were not). All three share one root cause — reading the projection rather than the file record.
What acceptable looks like: for these command outputs and default filenames, read the underlying file via lib.getFile(collectionID, fileID) and emit metadata.creationTime / metadata.title verbatim, so the values are byte-identical to the pre-port CLI. Alternatively, an explicit owner ruling that the new millisecond + edited-name semantics are the intended output would clear this; absent that ruling it does not meet the stated definition of done.

Fixed: files, get, and get-thumb now read the file's own decrypted metadata via lib.getFile/getFileByID — metadata.title and metadata.creationTime in microseconds — instead of the PhotoRecord projection, so --json, the human column, and the default download names match the pre-library CLI byte-for-byte; test/cli/output.test.ts asserts the raw values for a renamed file.

The ported code is correct and the gate is green in a fresh clone; the #17
skipped/failed distinction is real and test-covered, and the prior finding on files/get field values is genuinely fixed (raw title and microsecond creationTime, locked by test/cli/output.test.ts). Three items still block a
clean landing.
The PR body contradicts the shipped code on output. Its "what a reviewer
should know" bullet states the files/collections JSON creationTime is
now milliseconds. The shipped head reverted files to read the raw metadata.creationTime in microseconds (src/cli-output.ts), which test/cli/output.test.ts asserts and the commit message describes
correctly. Output preservation is the whole point of #52 and was the subject of the prior
rework, so a PR body stating the opposite misinforms the merge decision.
Acceptable: correct the bullet to the shipped behaviour (raw title,
microsecond creationTime) and drop the milliseconds claim.
Row order of quak files and quak collections changed. Both now emit in
the projection's newest-first order (src/library/read.ts: albums by updationTime descending, an album's files by takenAt descending) rather
than the pre-port enumeration order the old CLI printed. The definition of
done is "output ... stay as they are", and this ordering change is neither
disclosed nor tested. Acceptable: an owner ruling that newest-first is the
intended order, recorded as such, or restore the prior order.
The squash commit body runs about 140 words, over the roughly 120-word
limit. Acceptable: tighten it to the essentials.

is the manager's call and independent of these findings.

Field-value fix confirmed (raw title + microsecond creationTime). Remaining, and one new dependency:

Route every command through Library.open instead of scanning the client.
The read commands (collections, files, get, get-thumb) force a server
round-trip with Library.fresh() before reading, so they answer for
current state, not a stale cache (owner amendment, issue #36).
collections and files list in the library's enumeration order — the
order the pre-library CLI printed, not the newest-first projection — and
present each file from its own decrypted metadata (raw title, microsecond
creationTime). get/get-thumb copy the cached original/thumbnail to --out.
backup, backup-metadata, and the thumbnail helpers are unchanged. A new
global --cache-dir sets the cache location; point commands open with the
background precache off so a one-shot command never downloads the account.
Also addresses #17:
fix-missing-thumbnails reports a non-JPEG image or a video as skipped
(unsupported), distinct from failed, and only a genuine failure exits
non-zero.
