+Ente is a fully open-source, end-to-end encrypted platform for storing data in the cloud. This monorepo contains:
+- **Ente Photos**: End-to-end encrypted photo storage app (iOS/Android/Web/Desktop)
+- **Ente Auth**: 2FA authenticator app with cloud backup
+- Multiple client applications across platforms
+- Museum: The Go backend server powering all services
+
+## Repository Structure

+yarn lint            # Run linting checks
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### End-to-End Encryption
+All user data is encrypted client-side using:
+- **Master Key**: Generated on signup, never leaves device unencrypted
+- **Key Encryption Key**: Derived from user password
+- **Collection Keys**: For folders/albums
+- **File Keys**: Unique for each file
+- Encryption uses libsodium (XSalsa20 + Poly1305 MAC)
+
+### Technology Stack
+- **Backend**: Go with Gin framework, PostgreSQL, Docker
+- **Web**: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Yarn workspaces
+- **Mobile**: Flutter 3.32.8, Dart, Melos for monorepo management
+- **Desktop**: Electron, TypeScript
+- **Infrastructure**: Docker, S3-compatible storage, multi-cloud replication
+
+### API Communication
+- Museum server at `localhost:8080` for local development
+- Authentication via JWT tokens encrypted with user's public key
+- All data transmitted is end-to-end encrypted
+
+## Testing & Quality Checks
+
+### Before Committing
+- Run appropriate lint commands for the module you're working on
+- Ensure TypeScript compilation succeeds (`yarn tsc` or `tsc`)
+- For Flutter: Run `flutter analyze` and `flutter test`
+- For Go: Run `go fmt ./...` and `go vet ./...`
+
+### Code Style
+- Follow existing patterns in neighboring files
+- Use existing libraries rather than adding new dependencies
+- Match the indentation and formatting style of existing code
+- TypeScript/JavaScript: Prettier + ESLint configuration
+- Flutter: Standard Dart formatting
+- Go: Standard Go formatting
+
+### Localization (Flutter)
+- Add new strings to `/mobile/apps/photos/lib/l10n/intl_en.arb`
+- Use `AppLocalizations` to access localized strings in code
+- Example: `AppLocalizations.of(context).yourStringKey`
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- All sensitive operations happen client-side due to E2E encryption
+- Never log or expose encryption keys, passwords, or auth tokens
+- The server (Museum) cannot decrypt user data
+- Follow security best practices for handling encrypted data
+- When modifying encryption-related code, ensure backward compatibility
+- **No analytics or tracking**: Never add any analytics, telemetry, or user tracking code

+# Photo Swipe Culling Feature - Planning Document
+
+## Design Screenshots
+
+The following screenshots illustrate the feature design:
+
+- `swipe_left_delete.png` - Left swipe interaction showing red overlay and trash icon for deletion
+- `swipe_right_keep.png` - Right swipe interaction showing green overlay and thumbs up for keeping
+- `group_carousel_view.png` - Main interface with group carousel at top and best picture badge
+- `deletion_confirmation_dialog.png` - Final deletion confirmation dialog
+
+## 1. Feature Overview
+
+### Purpose
+
+Transform the tedious task of removing duplicate/similar photos into an engaging, gamified experience using familiar swipe gestures inspired by dating apps like Tinder.
+
+### Core Value Proposition
+
+- **Efficiency**: Quick decision-making through intuitive gestures
+- **Engagement**: Gamified experience reduces decision fatigue
+- **Safety**: Batch processing with review capability before final deletion
+- **Control**: Ability to navigate between groups and revise decisions
+
+## 2. User Journey
+
+### Entry Point
+
+From Similar Images page → New icon in top-right corner (swipe/cards icon) → Opens swipe culling interface with selected images
+
+- Icon only appears when filtered groups are available (not just when files are selected)
+- Filters out single-image groups and groups with 50+ images before checking
+- Carries over filtered groups from Similar Images page
+
+### Flow
+
+1. User selects images on Similar Images page (auto-selected duplicates)
+2. Taps swipe culling icon to enter new interface
+3. Reviews each image in a group via swipe gestures
+4. Can navigate between groups using top carousel
+5. Reviews deletion summary and confirms
+
+## 3. UI/UX Design
+
+### Screen Layout
+
+#### Header
+
+- **Left**: Back button
+- **Center**: Empty
+- **Right**: Delete button with:
+  - Red background color
+  - White text
+  - Trash icon at start
+  - Shows "Delete (N)" with pending count
+
+#### Progress Indicator
+
+- **Instagram-style dots** showing image progress within group
+- **Location**: Just above the swipeable image card
+  - Positioned between group carousel and main image
+  - 8px padding above and below
+  - Center-aligned horizontally
+  - Subtle fade-in animation when switching groups
+- **Color coding**:
+  - Red dots for deleted images
+  - Green dots for kept images
+  - Larger current dot (8px vs 6px)
+  - Gray for undecided
+- **Max dots**: 10 (collapsed view for larger groups)
+
+#### Main Content Area
+
+- **Swipeable Card Stack**: Current image displayed prominently
+  - Shows full image without cropping (aspect ratio preserved)
+  - Card size adapts to image dimensions
+  - Uses full resolution image (not thumbnails) after initial load
+  - No "Best" badge (removed for v1)
+- **Swipe Indicators**:
+  - Left swipe → Thin red border that intensifies with swipe distance (4px max)
+  - Right swipe → Thin green border that intensifies with swipe distance (4px max)
+  - Visual feedback: Only colored border, no full image overlay
+- **File Information**: Directly below image (minimal gap):
+  - File display name (top)
+  - File size in human-readable format (bottom)
+  - Both in muted text color
+  - Positioned immediately after the image card
+
+#### Group Navigation (Top Carousel)
+
+- Horizontal scrollable list of image groups
+- **Visual Design**:
+  - **Thumbnail shape**: Rectangular thumbnails (72x90px, portrait orientation)
+  - **Spacing**: Increased spacing between groups (8px horizontal padding)
+  - **Current group**: Two thumbnails stacked with slight rotation (like cards)
+    - Visible border around each thumbnail (1px solid stroke)
+    - Clear layering effect showing two distinct images
+  - **Other groups**: Single thumbnail of first image
+  - **Selection indicator**: Non-selected groups shown with reduced opacity
+  - **Completion badges**:
+    - Positioned ON the corner edge (not inside)
+    - Red badge with white text for deletion count
+    - Green circle with white checkmark for completed groups
+    - Both badges overlap the corner boundary
+- **Interaction Model**:
+  - **Single tap on current group**: Show summary popup
+  - **Single tap on other group**: Navigate to that group
+  - **Long press**: Show popup summary with:
+    - Images kept vs deleted count
+    - Visual preview of decisions
+    - "Undo all" action for that group
+    - Storage to be freed from this group
+
+#### Bottom Action Bar
+
+- Positioned higher up from bottom edge
+- **Design**:
+  - Large square containers for delete and keep buttons (72x72px)
+  - No container for undo button (standalone)
+  - Undo button positioned between the two containers
+- **Left**: Delete button (X icon) in square container with elevation
+- **Center**: Undo button with circular arrow icon (no container, muted color)
+- **Right**: Keep button (thumbs up icon) in square container with elevation
+
+### Interaction Patterns
+
+#### Swipe Gestures
+
+- **Right Swipe**: Mark image as "keep" (green indicator)
+- **Left Swipe**: Mark image for deletion (red indicator)
+- **Swipe Threshold**: ~30% of screen width to trigger action
+- **Snap Back**: If swipe incomplete, card returns to center
+
+#### Button Actions
+
+- **Bottom Delete**: Alternative to left swipe
+- **Bottom Keep**: Alternative to right swipe
+- **Undo**: Reverts last swipe action within current group only
+- **Group Undo**: Available via long-press on group in carousel (shows popup summary)
+- **Confirm**: Opens deletion summary dialog
+
+#### Auto-Advance Flow (Group Completion)
+
+**Minimal Celebration Approach**: Ultra-quick, non-intrusive transition
+
+1. **Duration**: Maximum 0.25-0.4s (half current time)
+2. **Animation**: Light sprinkle effect or simple checkmark fade
+3. **No text**: No "Group complete" message
+4. **Smooth Transition**: Quick cross-fade to next group's first photo
+5. **Non-blocking**: Animation doesn't prevent immediate interaction
+
+**Alternative Approaches Considered**:
+
+- Streak celebration with momentum carry-forward
+- Level-up gaming style transitions
+- Stories-style progress segments
+- Swipe-through summary card
+
+#### Special Cases
+
+- **"Best Picture" Badge**: Removed for v1
+  - Future v2: Algorithm based on quality metrics, resolution, and filename patterns
+- **Last Card in Group**: Auto-advances with celebration animation as described above
+

+
+## 7. Detailed Component Specifications
+
+### SwipeablePhotoCard Widget
+
+```dart
+class SwipeablePhotoCard extends StatefulWidget {
+  final EnteFile file;
+  final VoidCallback onSwipeLeft;  // Delete
+  final VoidCallback onSwipeRight; // Keep
+  final bool showBestPictureBadge;
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- Displays image with proper aspect ratio
+- Tracks finger position during drag
+- Calculates swipe velocity and direction
+- Shows overlay based on swipe direction
+- Animates card exit on decision
+- Returns to center if swipe incomplete
+
+### GroupCarousel Widget
+
+```dart
+class GroupCarousel extends StatelessWidget {
+  final List<SimilarFiles> groups;
+  final int currentGroupIndex;
+  final Function(int) onGroupSelected;
+  final Map<SimilarFiles, GroupProgress> progressMap;
+}
+```
+
+**Features:**
+
+- 2x2 grid thumbnail for each group
+- Clean thumbnails for unreviewd groups (no badges)
+- **Red badge showing deletion count** for completed groups (only if > 0)
+- Green checkmark for groups with all images kept
+- Highlight current group with subtle border/glow
+- Smooth scroll to selected group
+- Long-press triggers popup with grid view and overlay indicators
+
+### Confirmation Dialogs
+
+#### Contextual Confirmations
+
+1. **All-in-Group Deletion** (Shows immediately when user marks all images in a group for deletion):
+
+   - Title: "Delete all images in this group?"
+   - Message: "You've marked all X images for deletion. This will remove the entire group."
+   - Options: "Review Again" / "Confirm"
+   - Follow Ente dialog design patterns (use context explorer for reference)
+
+2. **Final Batch Deletion** (When user taps Confirm button):
+
+   - "Delete images - Are you sure you want to delete all the images you swiped left on?"
+   - Shows total count and storage to be freed
+   - Options: "Delete" / "Cancel"
+
+3. **No Additional Confirmation** needed when:
+   - Some (but not all) images in a group are marked for deletion
+   - User is just navigating between groups
+   - Using undo actions
+
+## 8. Edge Cases & Considerations
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- Single image groups: Not displayed in UI, filtered out completely
+- User exits without confirming: Changes lost (no persistence in v1)
+- Network/storage issues: Handled by existing bulk delete logic
+- Large groups (50+ images): Hidden from UI in v1, not displayed
+- Videos: Not applicable (Similar Images only handles photos)
+- All images in group marked for deletion: Show immediate confirmation dialog
+
+### Security & Privacy
+
+- Maintain E2E encryption throughout
+- No server-side processing of decisions
+- Local-only gesture data
+
+### Accessibility
+
+- Alternative buttons for all swipe actions
+- Screen reader support with clear descriptions
+- Keyboard navigation support
+- High contrast mode compatibility
+
+## 9. Success Metrics
+
+### User Engagement
+
+- Time to review X images (target: <1 second per image)
+- Completion rate (% users who finish review)
+- Undo usage rate (indicates decision confidence)
+
+### Feature Effectiveness
+
+- Storage space reclaimed
+- Number of duplicates removed
+- User retention after using feature
+
+## 10. Resolved Design Decisions
+
+1. **Group Completion Behavior**: ✅ Auto-advance with minimal celebration animation
+2. **Decision Persistence**: ✅ No persistence in v1 (add in future version)
+3. **Best Picture Algorithm**: ✅ Use first image in group for v1
+4. **Undo Scope**: ✅ Per-group undo history + group-level undo via long-press
+5. **Animation Priority**: ✅ Smooth animations are critical, use flutter_card_swiper
+6. **Single Image Groups**: ✅ Filter out completely, not shown in UI
+7. **Large Groups**: ✅ Hide groups with 50+ images in v1
+8. **Videos**: ✅ Not applicable (Similar Images is photos-only)
+9. **Entry Point**: ✅ Icon only visible when images selected
+10. **Deletion Logic**: ✅ Reuse existing `_deleteFilesLogic` with symlinks
+
+## 11. Final Design Specifications
+
+### Count Display Strategy
+
+**Main Swipe Interface:**
+
+- Header shows "X of Y" for current group only (subtle, non-intrusive)
+- Optional: Progress dots below photo showing keep/delete pattern
+
+**Carousel Groups:**
+
+- Unreviewd: Clean thumbnails, no badges
+- Current: Subtle highlight/border
+- Completed: Red badge with deletion count (only if > 0)
+- Alternative: Green checkmark if all kept
+
+### Group Summary Popup (Long-press on carousel)
+
+**Design**: Clean grid view with overlay indicators
+
+- Shows all thumbnails in a grid layout
+- Uses `EnteLoadingWidget` for thumbnails still loading
+- No divider line above thumbnails
+- Deleted images have red overlay with trash icon
+- Kept images shown normally
+- **Vertical button layout** (aligned, bottom of popup):
+  - "Delete These" button (critical style, top)
+  - "Undo All" button (secondary style, bottom)
+- Shows storage to be freed at top
+
+### Completion Flow
+
+**All Groups Reviewed Dialog:**
+
+- Appears after last group is completed
+- Content:
+  - "All groups reviewed!"
+  - "X files marked for deletion"
+  - "Y MB will be freed"
+- Actions:
+  - Primary: "Delete Files" button
+  - Secondary: "Review Again" button
+- After deletion: Returns to Similar Images page
+
+## 12. Dependencies
+
+### Existing Components to Reuse
+
+- `SimilarFiles` data model
+- `EnteFile` model
+- Deletion utilities with symlink support
+- Image loading/caching system

+# Flicker Fix Attempts - Post-Swipe Animation Issue
+
+This document tracks all attempted solutions to fix the slight flicker that occurs right after swiping an image in the photo swipe culling interface.
+
+## Problem Description
+
+After swiping an image (left or right), there's a brief flicker that occurs at the end of the swipe animation. The animation itself is smooth, but there's a visual glitch right as it completes and the next card comes into view.
+
+## Attempted Solutions
+
+### Attempt 1: Stabilize CardSwiper Key (FAILED)
+
+**Theory**: The flicker was caused by the CardSwiper widget rebuilding due to a changing key that included `currentImageIndex`.
+
+**Changes Made**:
+```dart
+// Before
+key: ValueKey('swiper_${currentGroupIndex}_$currentImageIndex'),
+
+// After  
+key: ValueKey('swiper_$currentGroupIndex'),
+```
+
+**Result**: No improvement - flicker still present.
+
+**Why it failed**: The key wasn't the root cause of the flicker issue.
+
+### Attempt 2: Minimize setState and Separate Data Updates (FAILED - CAUSED REGRESSION)
+
+**Theory**: The flicker was caused by frequent setState calls rebuilding the entire CardSwiper widget. By updating data outside setState and only triggering minimal UI updates, the CardSwiper could maintain its internal animation state.
+
+**Changes Made**:
+```dart
+void _handleSwipeDecision(SwipeDecision decision) {
+  // ... existing code ...
+
+  // Update decisions without setState to avoid rebuilding CardSwiper
+  decisions[file] = decision;
+  
+  // ... update other data ...
+  
+  // Only trigger setState for UI elements that need to update (not CardSwiper)
+  setState(() {
+    // This minimal setState updates progress dots, file info, etc.
+  });
+}
+```
+
+**Result**: Made the issue worse and caused regressions in functionality.
+
+**Why it failed**: The approach broke the normal Flutter state management flow and caused UI inconsistencies.
+
+### Attempt 3: Stable CardSwiper Key and Fixed cardsCount (FAILED)
+
+**Theory**: The flicker was caused by the CardSwiper widget being rebuilt every time `currentImageIndex` changed due to:
+1. The key including `currentImageIndex`: `ValueKey('swiper_${currentGroupIndex}_$currentImageIndex')`
+2. The `cardsCount` changing: `currentGroupFiles.length - currentImageIndex`
+
+**Changes Made**:
+```dart
+// Before
+key: ValueKey('swiper_${currentGroupIndex}_$currentImageIndex'),
+cardsCount: currentGroupFiles.length - currentImageIndex,
+numberOfCardsDisplayed: (currentGroupFiles.length - currentImageIndex).clamp(1, 4),
+
+// After
+key: ValueKey('swiper_$currentGroupIndex'), // Removed currentImageIndex
+cardsCount: currentGroupFiles.length, // Fixed to full group size
+numberOfCardsDisplayed: currentGroupFiles.length.clamp(1, 4),
+
+// Updated cardBuilder to skip already-swiped cards
+if (index < currentImageIndex) {
+  return const SizedBox.shrink();
+}
+
+// Added swipe validation
+if (previousIndex != currentImageIndex) {
+  return false; // Reject out-of-order swipes
+}
+```
+
+**Result**: No improvement - flicker still present, exactly the same behavior.
+
+**Why it failed**: While the theory was sound (preventing widget rebuilds should eliminate flicker), the issue appears to be deeper within the CardSwiper package's internal animation handling or the interaction between Flutter's widget tree and the card animations.
+
+**Additional Issues Encountered**:
+- Initially caused assertion error: `numberOfCardsDisplayed` must be ≤ `cardsCount`
+- Required clamping: `numberOfCardsDisplayed: currentGroupFiles.length.clamp(1, 4)`
+- Complex logic needed to handle already-swiped cards in cardBuilder
+
+### Attempt 4: Stable Key with SizedBox.shrink() for Swiped Cards (FAILED)
+
+**Theory**: The flicker was caused by CardSwiper rebuilding with dynamic key and cardsCount. By using a stable key and handling already-swiped cards in the cardBuilder, the widget should maintain its internal state.
+
+**Changes Made**:
+```dart
+// Before
+key: ValueKey('swiper_${currentGroupIndex}_$currentImageIndex'),
+cardsCount: currentGroupFiles.length - currentImageIndex,
+
+// After
+key: ValueKey('swiper_$currentGroupIndex'), // Stable key
+cardsCount: currentGroupFiles.length, // Fixed count
+
+// Updated cardBuilder to skip swiped cards
+if (index < currentImageIndex) {
+  return const SizedBox.shrink();
+}
+
+// Updated swipe detection logic
+final isSwipingLeft = index == currentImageIndex && swipeProgress < -0.1;
+
+// Added swipe validation
+if (previousIndex != currentImageIndex) {
+  return false; // Reject out-of-order swipes
+}
+```
+
+**Result**: No improvement - flicker still present. The approach failed to eliminate the visual glitch.
+
+**Why it failed**: Using `SizedBox.shrink()` for already-swiped cards may still cause the CardSwiper's internal layout calculations to be affected. The package might still be rebuilding internal widget trees or animation controllers despite the stable key.
+
+### Attempt 5: RepaintBoundary Around Individual Cards (FAILED)
+
+**Theory**: The flicker was caused by unnecessary repaints propagating through the widget tree. By wrapping each SwipeablePhotoCard in a RepaintBoundary, each card would have its own compositing layer and prevent paint operations from affecting other cards or the parent CardSwiper.
+
+**Changes Made**:
+```dart
+// Before
+return SwipeablePhotoCard(
+  key: ValueKey(file.uploadedFileID ?? file.localID),
+  file: file,
+  swipeProgress: swipeProgress,
+  isSwipingLeft: isSwipingLeft,
+  isSwipingRight: isSwipingRight,
+  showFileInfo: false,
+);
+
+// After  
+return RepaintBoundary(
+  child: SwipeablePhotoCard(
+    key: ValueKey(file.uploadedFileID ?? file.localID),
+    file: file,
+    swipeProgress: swipeProgress,
+    isSwipingLeft: isSwipingLeft,
+    isSwipingRight: isSwipingRight,
+    showFileInfo: false,
+  ),
+);
+```
+
+**Result**: No improvement - flicker still present exactly as before.
+
+**Why it failed**: The flicker appears to be unrelated to painting optimization. RepaintBoundary isolates painting operations but doesn't affect the underlying animation timing or widget lifecycle issues that may be causing the flicker. The issue likely occurs at a deeper level within the CardSwiper's animation management or Flutter's rendering pipeline.
+
+### Attempt 6: Delayed setState After Swipe Animation (FAILED - MADE WORSE)
+
+**Theory**: The flicker was caused by immediate setState calls in the onSwipe callback interrupting the CardSwiper's animation. By delaying the state update until after the animation completes, the CardSwiper could finish its exit animation cleanly.
+
+**Changes Made**:
+```dart
+// Before
+onSwipe: (previousIndex, currentIndex, direction) {
+  final decision = direction == CardSwiperDirection.left
+      ? SwipeDecision.delete
+      : SwipeDecision.keep;
+  
+  // Handle the swipe decision
+  _handleSwipeDecision(decision);
+  
+  return true;
+},
+
+// After
+onSwipe: (previousIndex, currentIndex, direction) {
+  final decision = direction == CardSwiperDirection.left
+      ? SwipeDecision.delete
+      : SwipeDecision.keep;
+  
+  // Delay state update to allow animation to complete
+  Future.delayed(const Duration(milliseconds: 150), () {
+    _handleSwipeDecision(decision);
+  });
+  
+  return true;
+},
+```
+
+**Result**: Made the issue worse - introduced additional visual lag and the flicker remained.
+
+**Why it failed**: The 150ms delay created a noticeable gap where no visual feedback occurred after the swipe, making the interface feel unresponsive. The flicker still occurred when the delayed setState finally triggered. This approach fundamentally misunderstood that the flicker happens during the transition between cards, not necessarily from immediate state updates.
+
+### Attempt 7: IsolatedCardSwiper + ValueNotifiers to Eliminate All setState (FAILED)
+
+**Theory**: The flicker was caused by any setState calls in the parent widget tree, even with the IsolatedCardSwiper. By replacing all setState calls during swipe actions with ValueNotifiers and ValueListenableBuilder, we could achieve true isolation where no parent widgets rebuild during swipe animations.
+
+**Changes Made**:
+```dart
+// Step 1: Created IsolatedCardSwiper widget
+class IsolatedCardSwiper extends StatefulWidget {
+  // Separate widget containing CardSwiper with stable configuration
+  // Uses callbacks to notify parent without triggering rebuilds
+}
+
+// Step 2: Added ValueNotifiers in parent
+late ValueNotifier<int> _currentImageIndexNotifier;
+late ValueNotifier<Map<EnteFile, SwipeDecision>> _decisionsNotifier;
+
+// Step 3: Modified callbacks to use ValueNotifiers instead of setState
+void _handleSwipeDecision(EnteFile file, SwipeDecision decision) {
+  // Update data without setState
+  decisions[file] = decision;
+  // ... history updates ...
+  
+  // Only trigger ValueNotifier update
+  _decisionsNotifier.value = Map.from(decisions);
+}
+
+void _handleCurrentIndexChanged(int currentIndex) {
+  currentImageIndex = currentIndex;
+  _currentImageIndexNotifier.value = currentIndex;
+}
+
+// Step 4: Wrapped UI elements with ValueListenableBuilder
+ValueListenableBuilder<int>(
+  valueListenable: _currentImageIndexNotifier,
+  builder: (context, currentIndex, child) {
+    return ValueListenableBuilder<Map<EnteFile, SwipeDecision>>(
+      valueListenable: _decisionsNotifier,
+      builder: (context, decisionsMap, child) {
+        return _buildProgressDots(theme);
+      },
+    );
+  },
+)
+```
+
+**Components Wrapped**:
+- Progress dots (listen to index + decisions)
+- File info display (listen to index)  
+- Header delete button (listen to decisions)
+- Action buttons (listen to index)
+
+**Result**: No improvement - flicker still present exactly as before.
+
+**Why it failed**: Despite eliminating all setState calls during swipe actions and isolating the CardSwiper in a separate widget, the flicker persisted. This suggests the issue is deeper within the flutter_card_swiper package itself, possibly in its internal animation handling or rendering pipeline. The approach was sound in theory but couldn't address what appears to be a fundamental limitation in the CardSwiper's animation system.
+
+**Additional Insight**: This comprehensive approach combining widget isolation + ValueNotifiers represents the most thorough attempt to eliminate external interference with CardSwiper animations. Its failure strongly indicates the flicker is an intrinsic issue with the package rather than our state management.
+
+### Attempt 8: Defer onSwipe State Update to Next Frame (FAILED - MADE WORSE)
+
+**Theory**: The flicker is caused by a rebuild that lands during the CardSwiper's exit/settle phase. Scheduling the state update to the next frame (instead of a fixed delay) should let the current animation frame complete without interruption.
+
+**Changes Made**:
+```dart
+// Added import
+import 'package:flutter/scheduler.dart';
+
+// Before
+onSwipe: (previousIndex, currentIndex, direction) {
+  final decision = direction == CardSwiperDirection.left
+      ? SwipeDecision.delete
+      : SwipeDecision.keep;
+  _handleSwipeDecision(decision);
+  return true;
+},
+
+// After (schedule next-frame update instead of immediate setState)
+onSwipe: (previousIndex, currentIndex, direction) {
+  final decision = direction == CardSwiperDirection.left
+      ? SwipeDecision.delete
+      : SwipeDecision.keep;
+  SchedulerBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
+    if (mounted) {
+      _handleSwipeDecision(decision);
+    }
+  });
+  return true;
+},
+```
+
+**Result**: Made the flicker more pronounced/longer. Change reverted.
+
+**Why it failed**: CardSwiper appears to invoke `onSwipe` while its internal index/stack is mid-transition. Deferring by one frame still triggers a parent rebuild exactly as CardSwiper completes its settle, so the visual discontinuity remains (and can become more visible). This suggests the root cause is not purely the timing of our setState, but the package's internal sequence of index change and card recycling.
+
+### Attempt 9: Return Nothing for Out-of-Range Card Indices (FAILED)
+
+**Theory**: The flicker might be a single-frame flash from our fallback card drawing. When `cardBuilder` is asked for an index that maps beyond `currentGroupFiles.length`, rendering a decorated placeholder Container paints a background for one frame. Returning a non-painting widget should eliminate the flash.
+
+**Changes Made**:
+```dart
+// Before
+if (fileIndex >= currentGroupFiles.length) {
+  return Container(
+    decoration: BoxDecoration(
+      color: theme.backgroundBase,
+      borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(16),
+    ),
+  );
+}
+
+// After
+if (fileIndex >= currentGroupFiles.length) {
+  return const SizedBox.shrink(); // do not paint anything
+}
+```
+
+**Result**: No improvement; flicker persisted. Change reverted.
+
+**Why it failed**: Even when nothing is painted for transient indices, CardSwiper's internal rearrangement of the stack (combined with our dynamic `cardsCount` and `currentImageIndex` mapping) still produces a visible discontinuity as the top card is replaced and the next card is promoted. The issue likely stems from how the package recycles widgets/animations during the final settle rather than from our fallback rendering.
+
+## Current Status
+
+Nine attempts have been reverted. The flicker issue persists and appears to be an inherent limitation of the flutter_card_swiper package itself.
+
+## Potential Next Steps for Investigation
+
+1. **Examine flutter_card_swiper internals**: The issue might be within the CardSwiper package itself
+2. **Check image loading/caching**: The flicker might be related to image transitions between cards
+3. **Animation timing**: Look at the coordination between swipe animation completion and next card display
+4. **Widget tree analysis**: Use Flutter Inspector to see exactly what's rebuilding during the flicker
+5. **Alternative swipe packages**: Consider if flutter_card_swiper has known issues with this behavior
+
+## Code Location
+
+The main swipe implementation is in:
+- `/lib/ui/pages/library_culling/swipe_culling_page.dart` (lines ~615-690 for CardSwiper widget)
+- `/lib/ui/pages/library_culling/widgets/swipeable_photo_card.dart` (individual card implementation)
+
+## Test Scenario
+
+To reproduce the flicker:
+1. Open swipe culling interface
+2. Swipe any image (left or right)  
+3. Observe the brief flicker at the end of the swipe animation as the next card settles into place

+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### Architecture
+
+- **State Management**: StatefulWidget with setState
+- **Package Used**: flutter_card_swiper ^7.0.1
+- **Deletion**: Reuses existing `_deleteFilesLogic` with symlinks
+- **Filtering**: Excludes single-image and 50+ image groups
+- **Design System**: Follows Ente color scheme and patterns
+
+### File Structure
+
+```
+lib/ui/pages/library_culling/
+├── swipe_culling_page.dart        # Main page (~850 lines)
+├── models/
+│   └── swipe_culling_state.dart   # Data models
+└── widgets/
+    ├── swipeable_photo_card.dart  # Card with border feedback
+    ├── group_carousel.dart        # Square thumbnails, badges
+    └── group_summary_popup.dart   # Grid view, vertical buttons
+```
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Swipe Gestures**: Right = Keep, Left = Delete
+- **Visual Feedback**: Colored borders that intensify with swipe distance
+- **Group Navigation**: Tap to switch, long-press for summary
+- **Progress Tracking**: Dots show decisions (red/green/gray)
+- **Batch Processing**: Review all decisions before final deletion
+- **Safety**: Symlinks preserve album associations
+
+## Quality Assurance
+
+- ✅ Flutter analyze: 0 issues in photos app
+- ✅ All imports properly ordered
+- ✅ No deprecated APIs used
+- ✅ Proper null safety
+- ✅ Consistent code style
+- ✅ Localization complete
+
+## Remaining improvements/fixes
+
+- [x] Use circular undo icon as specified in feature plan
+- [x] Double pressing the image in card should zoom in to image by pushing the `DetailPage` with hero animation (check `similar_images_page.dart` for example).
+- [x] Stack next image behind current image with darkening/opacity, peeking from top. Shows full image preview that animates forward when current is swiped.
+- [x] Fix issue with the carousel groups looking too dark. Even the selected group in carousel row looks darker than the current image, which is weird.
+- [x] Pressing the undo button when nothing is decided in current group should navigate the user to the last group with changes and undo a change there.
+- [x] Make the undo button animate nicely to the previous photo, instead of this flicker. Implemented with AnimatedSwitcher for smooth fade/slide transitions.
+- [x] Show current image with ALL next ones stacked behind it, instead of only the next one stacked behind it. Make them stick out at the top. Make sure the transition after swiping is smooth, with no weird flickers.
+- [ ] Get rid of the flicker that happens after swiping at the end of the animation. (See `flicker_fix_attempts.md` for documented failed approaches) 
+- [ ] Move the file info (name, size) higher up, to be just below the image. Make sure it's not part of the swipable card though.
+- [ ] Animate going from last image in group to first image in next group
+- [ ] Better placement of the instagram-like progress dots
+- [ ] Bug: when only having a single group, finishing it, and then canceling the delete, the complete checkmark animation stays on screen. Which is fine, but it doesn't disappear on pressing the undo button.
+
+## Remaining Tasks (Optional)
+
+- [ ] Production testing with various group sizes
+- [ ] Performance monitoring with large datasets
+- [ ] User feedback collection
+- [ ] A/B testing for UX improvements
+
+## Future Enhancements (v2)
+
+- [ ] AI-powered "Best Picture" detection
+- [ ] Decision persistence across sessions
+- [ ] Batch operations ("Delete all except first")
+- [ ] Advanced statistics dashboard
+- [ ] Customizable swipe sensitivity
+- [ ] Cloud backup of decisions
+- [ ] Machine learning for quality detection
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Priority**: Smooth 60fps animations maintained
+- **Security**: No analytics or tracking code
+- **Privacy**: All processing done locally
+- **E2E Encryption**: Fully preserved
+- **Design**: Follows Ente design language throughout
