Hygiene follow-up to the Camie retirement (#1189) — these were left inert to
bound that change; nothing reads them now. Migration 0068 drops:
- ml_settings: tagger_store_floor, tagger_model_version, suggestion_threshold_
character/general (already dead pre-retirement — scoring uses per-head
thresholds), video_min_tag_frames (only the deleted video-prediction
aggregator used it).
- image_record: tagger_model_version (no writer), centroid_scores (dead JSON
cache, no reader).
Also: ml_admin _EDITABLE/GET/_validate pruned (dropped the store-floor invariant
+ video_min_tag_frames check); MLThresholdSliders trimmed to a video-embedding
card (interval + max frames only); importer no longer resets the dropped cols;
download_models drops the Camie fetch; stale CASCADE comments in cleanup_service
no longer name the removed tables. Tests updated.

Heads + CCIP are the tag source and head auto-apply is the earned propagation.
The Camie tagger ran only to feed the allowlist bulk-apply (its ImagePrediction
rows had no other consumer), and the allowlist was a SECOND, un-earned auto-apply
path firing in parallel with heads on every accept — exactly the un-earned spray
the v2 pivot replaced. Retire both.
Behavior change: accepting a suggestion now applies the tag to THAT image only
(source='ml_accepted', a head-training positive) — it no longer allowlists +
fans the tag across the library via Camie. Propagation is heads' earned
auto-apply. (Loses instant cold-start propagation for booru-vocab tags; that was
un-earned and bypassed the precision gate.)
- tag_and_embed is now EMBED-ONLY (no Camie load/infer, no ImagePrediction
writes); backfill enqueues it for images with no embedding.
- Removed: services/ml/tagger.py, apply_allowlist_tags + helpers + daily beat +
every enqueue caller (accept/alias/merge/per-image), api/allowlist.py +
blueprint, ImagePrediction + TagAllowlist models/tables (migration 0067),
AllowlistTable.vue + allowlist store, the accept coverage-projection payload.
- AllowlistService gutted to accept/dismiss/undismiss/reject (the rejection store
the rail still needs); accept returns nothing, API returns {accepted, tag_id}.
- tag merge no longer repoints/triggers the allowlist; _keep_as_alias now keys on
ML-applied image_tag sources (incl. head_auto) instead of the allowlist.
- UI: MLBackfillCard relabelled to embedding-only; accept toast simplified;
MaintenancePanel drops the allowlist tile.
Left for a follow-up hygiene pass (now-inert, harmless): the dead settings
columns (tagger_store_floor, tagger_model_version, suggestion_threshold_*,
video_min_tag_frames), image_record.tagger_model_version, MLThresholdSliders
trim, and the Camie model download in download_models.py.

The v2 pivot replaced per-tag SigLIP centroids with learned heads + CCIP.
Centroids were still recomputed (on every tag merge + a daily beat) but NOTHING
read them — suggestions come from heads+CCIP and apply_allowlist_tags applies
via Camie predictions, not centroids. Pure dead wiring; remove it.
Removed: CentroidService, recompute_centroid/recompute_centroids tasks, the
daily beat, POST /api/ml/recompute-centroids, the recompute-on-merge trigger,
the tag_reference_embedding table + model, the centroid_similarity_threshold +
min_reference_images settings (migration 0066), the CentroidRecomputeCard +
its store action + MaintenancePanel tile, and the centroid slider in
MLThresholdSliders. _keep_as_alias drops its vestigial has-centroid branch (the
allowlist branch already covers "could re-emit"); tag merge no longer clears a
table that no longer exists.
NOT touched (still live, parallel to heads): the Camie tagger, ImagePrediction,
and the allowlist bulk-apply — accepting a suggestion still allowlists + applies
it across the library. The tag-eval "centroid" baseline metric is unrelated
(in-memory) and stays. (image_record.centroid_scores JSON column also remains —
separate legacy field, its own micro-cleanup.)

Read cutover verified in prod (suggestions + allowlist read image_prediction;
backfill complete at 908k rows / 51k images). Removes the old JSON column and
everything that fed it:
- ImageRecord.tagger_predictions column removed; migration 0046 DROPs it.
tagger_model_version kept as the "tagged / current?" signal the backfill
sweep reads (needs-tagging check switched to tagger_model_version IS NULL).
- tag_and_embed no longer dual-writes the JSON — image_prediction is the only
write path.
- importer re-import reset drops the JSON line (image_prediction rows are
already deleted on re-import).
- Retired the one-time #768 backfill task + the #764 prune task, their admin
endpoints, and their Maintenance cards (Backfill/PrunePredictionsCard).
- Tests seed/assert via image_prediction; stale column refs removed.
Disk reclaim is NOT automatic: DROP COLUMN is a catalog change. Run
`VACUUM FULL image_record` off-hours afterward to return the ~100 GB to the OS
so DB backups go small (#739). image_prediction (~90 MB) stays in pg_dump — it's
the source of truth now.
