<img> tags cannot send Authorization headers, so non-public gallery photos
were invisible even to authorized viewers. The server now mints short-lived
HMAC view tokens (gallery-scoped, hour-bucketed) and embeds them in every
file URL for non-public galleries. Access denials return distinct 403
messages per visibility mode, and the frontend renders a matching gate page
(private, link-only, ticket-holders, login prompt) with an inline login
modal so visitors never leave the gallery page.
