## 🎬 Media

### Get Media
```http
GET /api/media/{media_path}
```
Retrieve a media file (image, audio, video, PDF) with authentication protection.

**Example:**
```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/api/media/folder/_attachments/image-20240417093343.png
```

**Security Note:** This endpoint requires authentication and validates that:
- The media path is within the notes directory (prevents directory traversal)
- The file exists and is a valid media format
- The requesting user is authenticated (if auth is enabled)

### Update drawing (PNG in place)

```http
PUT /api/media/{media_path}
Content-Type: image/png
```

Overwrites an **existing** file in the vault. The server only accepts targets whose filename matches **`drawing-*.png`** (lowercase `.png`). The body must be a valid **PNG** (magic bytes are checked). Used by the in-app drawing editor when saving.

**Requirements:**
- File must already exist (create new drawings via **New drawing** / `POST /api/upload-media` with `next_to_notes`, not via PUT).
- Path must stay within the notes directory (same rules as GET).

**Response:**
```json
{ "success": true, "path": "folder/drawing-20260101120000.png" }
```

**Example:**
```bash
curl -X PUT http://localhost:8000/api/media/myproject/drawing-20260101120000.png \
  -H "Content-Type: image/png" \
  --data-binary @sketch.png
```

### Upload Media
```http
POST /api/upload-media
Content-Type: multipart/form-data

file: <media file>
note_path: <path of note to attach to>
```

Upload a media file to the `_attachments` directory. Files are automatically organized per-folder and named with timestamps to prevent conflicts.

**Supported formats & size limits:**
| Type | Formats | Max Size |
|------|---------|----------|
| Images | JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP | 10 MB |
| Audio | MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A | 50 MB |
| Video | MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI | 100 MB |
| Documents | PDF | 20 MB |

**Response:**
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "path": "folder/_attachments/media-20240417093343.png",
  "filename": "media-20240417093343.png",
  "message": "Media uploaded successfully"
}
```

**Example (using curl):**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/upload-media \
  -F "file=@/path/to/file.mp3" \
  -F "note_path=folder/mynote.md"
```

**Windows PowerShell:**
```powershell
curl.exe -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/upload-media -F "file=@C:\path\to\video.mp4" -F "note_path=folder/mynote.md"
```

### Move Media
```http
POST /api/media/move
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "oldPath": "_attachments/image.png",
  "newPath": "folder/_attachments/image.png"
}
```

Move a media file to a different location. Supports drag & drop in the UI.

**Response:**
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Media moved successfully",
  "newPath": "folder/_attachments/image.png"
}
```

**Notes:**
- Media is stored in `_attachments` folders relative to the note's location
- Filenames are automatically timestamped (e.g., `media-20240417093343.mp3`)
- Media appears in the sidebar navigation and can be viewed/deleted directly
- Drag & drop files into the editor automatically uploads and inserts markdown
- All media access requires authentication when security is enabled
