Asset versioning, rights and accessibility metadata

Assets now carry full version history with restore, rights management, and automatically extracted accessibility metadata including dominant colors.

The asset manager grew up this cycle — in three directions at once:

  • Versioning — every replaced file keeps its history; roll back to any previous version when the "final_v2" turns out to be less final than hoped
  • Rights management — record usage rights on assets, so licensing questions get answered in the library instead of in a panicked Slack thread
  • Accessibility metadata — uploads are analyzed automatically: a11y-relevant image metadata and the dominant color are extracted and delivered with the asset, ready for alt-text workflows, placeholders and contrast-aware UI

Around it, the whole asset experience was streamlined: Finder-style selection with bulk actions, better video handling with thumbnails, EXIF auto-rotation and noticeably sharper previews.
