# Upload flow PR plan

## Phase 1 — Configure UI (done)

- [x] Split upload page: dropzone, queue, metadata inspector, configure modal
- [x] Batch settings form (ZK / hotlink, expiry, max views, ZK password)
- [x] Preset → API helpers (`resolveUploadBatchExpiresAt`, `resolveUploadBatchMaxViews`, ZK prepare options builder)
- [x] Modal validation on Upload; batch settings summary after confirm

## Phase 2 — Upload execution + dual queue status (in progress)

- [ ] **Separate upload state** from metadata (`UploadQueueEntry` per file key); metadata column unchanged in `UploadQueueList`
- [ ] Show upload column once a batch upload has started (pending / uploading / uploaded / failed / skipped)
- [ ] `onBatchUpload`: stripped blob → encrypt → `useUploadStore` POST (ZK + hotlink)
- [ ] Share URLs via `buildZkViewerPath` / `buildHotlinkImagePath` (+ optional absolute URL from `VITE_CLEARNET_DOMAIN`)
- [ ] Disable dropzone / configure while batch upload runs; clear upload state on new pick

## Phase 3 — Hardening (follow-up or tail of PR)

- [ ] ALTCHA: fetch challenge + solve, pass `x-altcha` on upload (frontend not wired yet; backend may allow when disabled)
- [ ] Copy-to-clipboard for share links; optional delete token display
- [ ] Modal Esc / backdrop close
- [ ] Single validation gate (modal vs builder)

## Out of scope

- Viewer / delete pages
- E2E tests against docker-compose
