A phone photo is several MB — seconds of dead air in which the user
reasonably assumes it worked and moves on, losing the upload if they
navigate or lock the phone (exactly how a photo went missing today).
The dropzone now narrates: uploading with count and size ("keep this
page open"), a green ✓ naming each saved file, reverting after a few
seconds; failures keep their alert but also reset the zone. A
beforeunload guard makes the browser ask before abandoning an
in-flight upload, re-picking the same file re-fires, and the gallery
refresh is forced so the new photo appears immediately.
