chore(backup): ship takeone:backup command + nightly scheduler entry

Moves BackupCommand and config/backup.php from the pre-audit WIP that
got stashed on 2026-10-21 to master, and registers the command in the
Laravel scheduler so it runs at 03:30 Asia/Bahrain nightly.

The command handles sqlite (VACUUM INTO after a WAL checkpoint) and
mysql (mysqldump | gzip, verified with gzip -t) backends; verifies
every snapshot by re-opening it with PDO + PRAGMA integrity_check +
a sanity SELECT; ships an off-server copy via Storage::disk() when
BACKUP_DISK is set; and prunes artifacts older than BACKUP_RETAIN_DAYS
while always keeping at least BACKUP_KEEP_MINIMUM.

Scheduler entry mirrors the nas-auto-sync shape — withoutOverlapping
+ runInBackground so a slow upload doesn't block the next tick.

.env knobs:
  BACKUP_PATH          (default: data/backups)
  BACKUP_RETAIN_DAYS   (default: 14)
  BACKUP_KEEP_MINIMUM  (default: 3)
  BACKUP_DISK          (unset — warns on every run until configured)
  BACKUP_MEDIA_DEST    (unset — required when running with --media)
  BACKUP_MEDIA_DELETE  (default: false)

+**Behaviour:** Renders a hidden `<textarea class="rte-source" name id>` as the form field (source of truth) wrapped in `.rte-wrap`. `window.RTE` builds the toolbar + `contenteditable` editor in JS (so Blade-rendered and JS-generated rows share one implementation) and a `MutationObserver` auto-inits any `.rte-wrap` added later (modals, cloned track rows). Toolbar: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, heading (H2), bullet/numbered list, quote, align left/center/right, link, button-link (`.action-btn`), emoji, clear formatting. Editor↔textarea stay synced via `input`; external code that sets `textarea.value` must dispatch `new Event('rte:refresh')` to update the editor.  
+**Rendering:** display HTML via `{!! \App\Support\HtmlSanitizer::render($value) !!}`; truncation is CSS-clamp (`.vdb-clamp`) + JS overflow check, never character-truncation (would break tags).

 - **Never rely on `window.scrollY` or `window.scroll` events on mobile** — the window doesn't scroll; listen on `document.getElementById('main')` instead.
 - **Bottom nav needs no JS transform** — since the window is locked, browser chrome animation never shifts fixed elements.
 
+**Every new Blade page must ship desktop + mobile style partials from day one.** When you create a view at `resources/views/<scope>/<page>.blade.php`, also create:
+
+```
+resources/views/<scope>/partials/<page>/styles/
+├── desktop.blade.php   ← base + desktop CSS (the foundation)
+└── mobile.blade.php    ← @media (max-width: 768px) and below
+```
+
+…and wire them up in the page's `@section('extra_styles')` block:
+
+```blade
+@section('extra_styles')
+@php
+    // Any shared Blade variables consumed by BOTH partials (palette,
+    // computed sizes, theme values) must be defined here, not inside
+    // a partial — each @include runs in its own variable scope.
+@endphp
+@include('<scope>.partials.<page>.styles.desktop')
+@include('<scope>.partials.<page>.styles.mobile')
+@endsection
+```
+
+Rules that must never be violated:
+
+1. **Never put a `@media (max-width: ...)` block inside `desktop.blade.php`.** All mobile-scoped rules go in `mobile.blade.php`. The whole point is that editing one cannot affect the other.
+2. **Never put a non-media-query rule inside `mobile.blade.php`.** Every selector in the mobile partial must be inside an `@media (max-width: 768px)` (or smaller) block. A naked rule would leak to desktop.
+3. **Folder name is `styles/`, not `styles.`.** Laravel resolves dots in `@include('foo.bar.baz')` as directory separators, so a file called `styles.mobile.blade.php` can't be referenced by `@include('....styles.mobile')`. Always put the two files under a `styles/` subdirectory.
+4. **Shared `@php` variables go in the parent page**, never duplicated across partials. Define `$hue`, palette values, computed sizes, etc. in the page's `@section('extra_styles')` block above the `@include`s, so both partials inherit them.
+5. **Reference example:** the channel page (`resources/views/user/channel.blade.php` + `resources/views/user/partials/channel/styles/{desktop,mobile}.blade.php`) is the canonical implementation. Mirror its structure on every new page.
+6. **No “I'll add mobile styles later.”** A page without a mobile partial is not finished. Create `mobile.blade.php` with at minimum the empty media-query scaffold:
+   ```blade
+   <style>
+   @media (max-width: 768px) {
+       /* mobile overrides for <page> */
+   }
+   @media (max-width: 480px) {
+       /* small-phone refinements */
+   }
+   </style>
+   ```
+   …even when there are no mobile-specific rules yet. This guarantees the file exists for the next person who needs to tweak mobile.
+7. **When editing an existing page that still has inline styles**, refactor it to this structure as part of the same task — don't add new CSS to a page that hasn't been split yet without splitting it first.
+
 **Upload modal and upload page must always stay in sync** — the desktop upload UI lives in `resources/views/layouts/partials/upload-modal.blade.php` and the mobile upload UI lives in `resources/views/videos/create.blade.php`. On mobile, `openUploadModal()` redirects to the create page instead of showing the modal. **Any change made to one must be applied to the other immediately in the same task.**
 
 **Edit modal and edit page must always stay in sync** — the desktop edit UI lives in `resources/views/layouts/partials/edit-video-modal.blade.php` and the mobile edit UI lives in `resources/views/videos/edit.blade.php`. On mobile (< 992px), `openEditVideoModal(videoId)` redirects to `/videos/{id}/edit` instead of opening the modal. **Any change made to one must be applied to the other immediately in the same task.** — the desktop upload UI lives in `resources/views/layouts/partials/upload-modal.blade.php` and the mobile upload UI lives in `resources/views/videos/create.blade.php`. On mobile, `openUploadModal()` redirects to the create page instead of showing the modal. **Any change made to one must be applied to the other immediately in the same task** — this includes new fields, validation logic, file-type support, JS behaviour, labels, and error handling. Never update only one side.

Usage is tracked in `.claude/component-usage.md` — add a row to the relevant table whenever you place one of these components in a view.
+
+**All sharing must go through the share component — never build a custom share UI or duplicate the modal.** There is exactly one share modal, and one way to trigger it:
+
+| Need | Use | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| The share modal itself | `<x-share-modal />` | Singleton — already rendered once in `layouts/app.blade.php`. Never copy its markup or `@include` it again on a page that uses the app layout. Lives in `resources/views/components/share-modal.blade.php`. |
+| A share button / menu item | `<x-share-button :video="$video" />` | Pass `tag="a"` for dropdown items (e.g. video-card menu), default `tag="button"` for `.action-btn`. Extra classes/attributes are forwarded; a slot overrides the default "Share" label. |
+
+The button calls the global `openShareModal(shareUrl, title, recordUrl, emailUrl, membersUrl)`, which provides copy-link, social, **send-by-email**, and **share-to-members** (in-app notification + email) in one place. Rules that must never be violated:
+
+1. **Never render a raw share `<a onclick="openShareModal(...)">`** — use `<x-share-button>` so every entry point passes the full argument set.
+2. **If you must call `openShareModal()` from JS, pass all five arguments** — including `route('videos.shareEmail', $video)` and `route('videos.shareMembers', $video)` (empty string for guests). Calling it with partial args silently drops the email/members options.
+3. **Never build a second share modal, dropdown, or sheet** anywhere. New share entry points reuse `<x-share-button>`.
+4. **Share-to-members** is powered by `VideoController@shareWithMembers` + the `VideoSharedWithUser` notification (database + mail) and the `users.search` typeahead — extend these rather than adding a parallel path.

+**Always use the self-hosted flag-icons library for every flag in the project — never use emoji flags or external CDN flag sources.**
+
+The flag-icons v7.2.3 library is self-hosted at `public/vendor/flag-icons/` (CSS + 270 SVG files). It is loaded synchronously in both layouts:
+- Front-end: `resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php` via `asset('vendor/flag-icons/css/flag-icons.min.css')`
+- Admin: `resources/views/admin/layout.blade.php` via the same asset path
+
+Rules that must never be violated:
+
+1. **Never use emoji flags** (`🇧🇭`, `🇺🇸`, etc.) anywhere — they are invisible on Windows Chrome/Firefox. Always use `<span class="fi fi-{iso2}"></span>` where `{iso2}` is a lowercase two-letter country code (e.g. `bh`, `us`, `gb`).
+
+2. **Never load flag-icons from a CDN** (`jsdelivr`, `unpkg`, `flagcdn.com`, etc.). The library is already self-hosted; adding a CDN link creates a duplicate load and a network dependency.
+
+3. **`Countries::all()` `flag` field is a lowercase ISO2 code** — `app/Data/Countries.php` generates this via `$f = fn(string $c) => strtolower($c)`. Do not change it back to emoji. Every component that renders `$opt['flag']` already wraps it in `<span class="fi fi-{{ $opt['flag'] }}"></span>`.
+
+4. **`Languages::all()` `flag` field is also a lowercase ISO2 code** — e.g. Arabic → `'sa'`, English → `'gb'`. Render it the same way.
+
+5. **When updating JS that copies a selected flag into a button icon**, always use `innerHTML`, not `textContent` — the flag is now an HTML `<span>`, not a text character. The `_pick()` method in the custom-select components already does this.
+
+6. **For the admin chart flag overlays** (`admin/dashboard.blade.php`), use `<span class="fi fi-{code}">` elements positioned absolutely — not `<img>` tags from `flagcdn.com`.
+
+7. **Unknown/missing country fallback**: always use `<span class="fi fi-xx"></span>` — the library's own built-in placeholder (the SVG exists at `public/vendor/flag-icons/flags/4x3/xx.svg`). Never use any external icon, emoji, or Bootstrap Icons globe as a fallback. In Blade: `<span class="fi fi-{{ $flag ?: 'xx' }}"></span>`. In JS: `` `<span class="fi fi-${flag || 'xx'}"></span>` ``.
+
 **Match highlights sidebar must always match the video player height** — use a `ResizeObserver` on `#ytpWrap` to write `--sidebar-height` to `document.documentElement` and bind `.events-sidebar { height: var(--sidebar-height) }`. Never hardcode a pixel or viewport height for the sidebar. The pattern lives in `videos/types/match.blade.php` (`initSidebarHeightSync`).
 
-### NAS is always enabled — it is the only storage backend
+### NAS with automatic local fallback
 
-**The NAS is permanently enabled in this project. Local disk is never a storage destination — it is a temporary write buffer only. Every user file must end up on the NAS and be served from the NAS. No exceptions.**
+**NAS is the primary storage backend. When NAS is reachable, every user file must end up on the NAS and be served from the NAS. When NAS is unreachable, files are stored locally and automatically migrated to NAS when it comes back online.**
 
-File types and their NAS locations:
+#### Framework storage lives at `data/`, not `storage/`
 
-| File type | NAS path | Served via |
+**The Laravel framework storage directory has been relocated from `storage/` to `data/` so the only entry named `storage` in the project tree is the `public/storage` symlink.**
+
+Layout (verbatim):
+- `data/app/` → file storage (with `app/public/` exposed to the web).
+- `data/framework/` → sessions, cache, compiled views, route cache.
+- `data/logs/` → application logs.
+- `public/storage` → a **symlink** to `../data/app/public`. It exposes public files to the web without making the rest of `data/` reachable.
+
+The redirect is wired in `bootstrap/app.php`:
+```php
+$app->useStoragePath(base_path('data'));
+```
+
+This means every `storage_path(...)` call, `Storage::disk('local'|'public')` operation, session/cache/view/log write, and the local NAS file cache resolves through `data/`. The `storage/` directory at the project root **does not exist** and must never be re-created.
+
+Rules:
+1. Never re-create `storage/` at the project root. Laravel's storage path is `data/`. The framework can't run without `data/`.
+2. Never delete the `data/` directory or any subdirectory of it.
+3. Never replace the `public/storage` symlink with a real directory or copy files into it. It must remain a symlink targeting `../data/app/public`.
+4. Never move user files into `public/storage` directly. All file writes go through the `data/app/` tree (NAS-mirrored paths), and the symlink + `MediaController` handle public serving.
+5. If `public/storage` is missing or broken, fix it with `ln -sfn ../data/app/public public/storage`. Do not run `php artisan storage:link` blindly — that targets `data/app/public` which doesn't exist; you'd have to pass `--relative` and a custom target.
+6. Nginx must alias `/storage` to `/var/www/videoplatform/data/app/public` (set in `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/videoplatform`). If you ever edit that file, keep the alias pointing at `data/`, not `storage/`.
+
+#### Canonical storage layout — IDENTICAL on local disk and on the NAS
+
+**This is the single source-of-truth file structure. Both the local `data/app/` cache and the NAS root MUST follow this exact same tree. Never invent a different layout for one or the other — any code that writes a user file (upload, edit, sync, fallback) must produce these paths verbatim, and `videos.path` / `video_audio_tracks.path` / `video_slides.filename` / etc. store the full `users/...` path identically whether the file currently lives on NAS or local.**
+
+**Type-segregated top-level folders.** Every video has a `type` (`music`, `match`, `generic`). The folder it lives under is determined by that type and is frozen at upload time — editing a video's type does NOT move its files. The mapping is:
+
+| Video `type` | Folder | Has `tracks/` subfolder? |
 |---|---|---|
-| Video / audio | `users/{slug}/videos/{title-slug}/{title-slug}.{ext}` | `NasSyncService::ensureLocalCopy()` |
+| `music` | `music/` | **Yes** — every track (primary + extras) lives in its own subfolder |
-| Video thumbnail | `users/{slug}/videos/{title-slug}/thumb.{ext}` | `MediaController::thumbnail` + `ensureLocalAsset()` |
+| `match` (sports) | `sports/` | No — single video file in the slug folder |
-| Audio slides | `users/{slug}/videos/{title-slug}/slides/{n}.{ext}` | `MediaController::thumbnail` + `ensureLocalAsset()` |
+| `generic` | `videos/` | No — single video file in the slug folder |
+

+
+**Sources vs. the `cache/` subfolder — a hard rule:**
+- The track-folder root (or video-folder root for sports/generic) holds only the **source of truth** (audio/video file, slides, thumb, lyrics, meta.json). These are what gets pushed to / pulled from the NAS.
+- **`cache/` holds only regenerable, derived renders** — "Download Video" mp4s, the HLS rendition. It is **LOCAL-only and is NEVER pushed to the NAS** (the sync layer pushes only source files). Deleting `cache/` is always safe; it rebuilds on next download/stream.
+- DB pointers: `videos.slideshow_video_path` → `users/.../<track-folder>/cache/video.mp4` (music) or `users/.../<video-folder>/cache/video.mp4` (sports/generic). `videos.hls_path` → the parent `cache/hls` for that file.
+- Reclaim space anytime with `php artisan nas:free-local-storage`; `tracks:reorganize` never treats anything under `cache/` as an orphan.
+
+**Naming rules (apply on both local and NAS, always lowercase, Unicode-preserving slug via `NasSyncService::titleSlug()`):**
+
+- **Music — one song folder, one folder per track inside it:**
+  - Song folder: `users/{slug}/music/{song-slug}/`.
+  - Track folder name: `{lang}-{db-track-id}` (e.g. `en-12`, `ar-47`). The DB id makes the folder name globally unique even when two tracks share a language.
+  - Inside each track folder, filenames are **canonical** — `audio.{ext}`, `lyrics.ass`, `thumb.{ext}`, `slides/{position}.{ext}`. **Do not** put track-id or language in these filenames; the *folder* already disambiguates.
+- **Sports (match):** `users/{slug}/sports/{match-slug}/video.{ext}`, `thumb.{ext}`.
+- **Generic:** `users/{slug}/videos/{video-slug}/video.{ext}`, `thumb.{ext}`.
+
+**Type is frozen at upload time.** When a user edits a video's type (e.g. `generic` → `music`), the on-disk folder does NOT move. The path remains under the original type folder for the life of that record. New uploads use the type-aware path. The migration command (`tracks:reorganize`) is the only thing that may move files between type folders.
+
+File types and their canonical locations (same string on NAS and local):
+
+| File type | Path (relative to NAS root and to `data/app/`) | Served via |
+|---|---|---|
+| Music primary audio | `users/{slug}/music/{song-slug}/tracks/{lang}-{primary-id}/audio.{ext}` | `NasSyncService::ensureLocalCopy()` |

+| Music track slides | `users/{slug}/music/{song-slug}/tracks/{lang}-{track-id}/slides/{n}.{ext}` | `MediaController::thumbnail` + `ensureLocalAsset()` |
+| Music track thumb | `users/{slug}/music/{song-slug}/tracks/{lang}-{track-id}/thumb.{ext}` | `MediaController::thumbnail` + `ensureLocalAsset()` |

-The only files that live permanently on local disk are HLS segments (`storage/app/public/hls/{video_id}/`) because they are generated locally and served directly. Everything else is NAS.
+The one-time migration `php artisan tracks:reorganize` enforces this layout for existing songs/videos (dry-run by default; `--force` to apply). It moves any pre-existing flat-layout content into the type-segregated, per-track-folder layout above and updates the DB pointers in lockstep.
+
+**Slide sharing across tracks (music only):** A music track owns its own slides via `video_slides.audio_track_id`. If a track has no slides of its own, the player and the render pipeline fall back via `Video::slidesForTrack($trackId)` to: (1) the primary track's slides, then (2) any other track's slides, then (3) the cover image. Files are never duplicated to support this — the fallback is purely a query/runtime concern.

+ *  3. OFF-SERVER — a snapshot on the same disk survives a bad migration but
+ *     not a dead disk, so a configured remote disk receives a copy and the
+ *     command warns loudly on every run where none is set.
+ *
+ * The media library is deliberately NOT part of the default run. It is
+ * gigabytes of immutable uploads; archiving it nightly would produce hours of
+ * CPU and a disk full of near-identical tarballs. Pass --media to mirror it
+ * incrementally with rsync instead.
+ *
+ * Exits non-zero on any failure so a cron surfaces the problem instead of
