iOS names every camera capture "image.jpg"; the replace-to-reshoot
semantics (same name = re-extract this photo) then silently destroyed
the previous shot — which is how a shelf photo vanished today. Generic
capture names (image/photo/img/capture stems) now get minted unique
names (shelf-<timestamp>[-n]) server-side, colliding names within one
batch uniquify too, and an identical re-send of the same shot dedupes
to a no-op. Named photos (IMG_1234.jpeg) keep the deliberate reshoot
replacement flow. The upload feedback shows the minted names, so the
phone sees exactly what landed.
