The operator reported a 15-image variant pack landing as 3 records, then reported variants STILL being dropped with phash_threshold at 0 — the floor of the dial. No setting could have fixed it: at hash_size=8 a pHash is 64 bits of coarse light/dark layout, so two variants sharing a composition produce the SAME bits. Distance 0 meant "identical hash", not "identical image", and the dial was simultaneously too coarse to keep variants and too tight to catch a re-encoded rescale. The hash no longer decides a merge on its own. find_similar now runs three gates, cheapest first: the threshold proposes candidates, aspect ratio (ASPECT_TOL, matching the tier-1 video path) rejects crops and re-canvases, and a pixel-level confirm on the two files accepts. Every gate fails closed — unknown dimensions, an unreadable candidate, a hash of the wrong width all mean "not a duplicate", because too strict keeps a redundant copy the operator can see while too loose deletes artwork only a source re-walk returns. - utils/phash.py: HASH_SIZE 8 -> 16 (256-bit, what ImageRepo always used); aspect_matches, fingerprint/fingerprint_path/fingerprints_match (PIL-only, mean drift + changed-pixel fraction), find_similar gains `confirm`. - importer: _pixel_confirmer supplies gate 3 on both dedup sites, lazily and cached, so a non-matching import costs no extra I/O. - 0098: widens image_record.phash to 64 chars and NULLs every value — a stored 64-bit hash cannot be compared to a 256-bit one, and backfill_phash is NULL-only, keyset-paginated and now on the daily beat, so the library re-hashes itself. Dedup degrades to sha256 until it finishes. - phash_threshold counts bits and the denominator went 64 -> 256, so the setting is reset to the new default of 24 (there is no honest carry-over) and the slider is rescaled to 0-64. - gallery_service dup_threshold 8 -> 32: the same fraction of the hash, so the Explore rail keeps the variance the operator tuned in on 2026-07-01.
