The gallery led with download dates because newest/oldest key off effective_date = the PRIMARY post's date (often the repost/download the file came from). Adds a materialized earliest_post_date = MIN(post_date) across ALL of an image's provenance posts (original publish), mirroring the effective_date pattern so the sort stays an index scan.

alembic 0071: earliest_post_date column + index (DESC, id DESC); backfill created_at baseline then MIN over image_provenance ⋈ post.
importer recomputes it whenever a dated post is linked.
gallery_service: new sorts posted_new/posted_old; cursor + year/month grouping follow the active column.
api: accepts posted_new|posted_old; default is now posted_new so the grid leads with original publish date. newest/oldest (effective_date) still available.
frontend: dropdown gains "Newest/Oldest post date" (default), old sorts relabelled "Newest/Oldest added".
tests: service test asserts the new sort keys off earliest_post_date; frontend default-omission test updated.

CI green on dev (run 1824, incl. integration + migration). No behavioral risk to existing sorts.

The gallery's newest/oldest sort keys off image_record.effective_date =
COALESCE(primary post's post_date, created_at). The primary post is often the
repost/download the file came from, so the grid led with download dates rather
than when content was first posted (operator-flagged).

Add a second materialized sort key, earliest_post_date = MIN(post_date) across
ALL of an image's provenance posts (every post it appears in), else created_at —
the original publish date. Mirrors the effective_date pattern so the sort stays a
forward index scan.

- alembic 0071: add earliest_post_date + index (DESC, id DESC); backfill
  created_at baseline then MIN over image_provenance ⋈ post.
- importer: recompute earliest_post_date whenever a dated post is linked (MIN over
  the image's provenance, which now includes the just-added row).
- gallery_service: new sorts posted_new / posted_old key off earliest_post_date;
  cursor + year/month grouping follow the active column transparently.
- api: accept posted_new|posted_old; DEFAULT is now posted_new so the grid leads
  with original publish date. newest/oldest (effective_date) still available.
- frontend: sort dropdown gains "Newest/Oldest post date" (default Newest post
  date); existing effective-date sorts relabelled "Newest/Oldest added".
- tests: service test asserts posted_new/posted_old key off earliest_post_date;
  frontend default-sort omission test updated.
