This service release focuses on security hardening, interoperability improvements, and bug fixes to create a stable platform for upcoming features. 🔧

Ollama users benefit from [easier configuration](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/using-ollama/) with the `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` and `OLLAMA_API_KEY` environment variables, as well as improved fallback response handling for [caption generation](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/ollama-models/#caption-prompts) with reasoning models. To improve reliability, we addressed edge cases in [indexing](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/library/originals/), [Places](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/organize/places/) (GPS boundary overshoots), [folder albums](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/organize/folders/) (emoji and slug collisions), [thumbnails](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/settings/advanced/#preview-images), [metadata parsing](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/library/metadata/), [WebDAV](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/sync/webdav/) response headers, CLI validation, [OIDC](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/advanced/openid-connect/) compatibility, and shared-domain hosting.
