Metadata was only dropped as a side effect of opt-in compression, so a
phone photo carried its GPS fix, camera model and timestamp into the room
and the media store. utils/stripImageMetadata.ts now removes it at the
container level, without touching pixels: JPEG drops APP1/APP13/COM
(writing back a minimal EXIF holding only Orientation when it isn't 1,
so sideways-stored photos still display upright), PNG drops eXIf and the
text chunks XMP lives in, WebP drops EXIF/XMP and clears the VP8X flags.
Other types pass through.
Applied before encryption on every composer path (attach, paste, drop,
share target) and to user/room avatar picks; GIF upload is excluded.
Setting → General → Privacy "Remove Photo Metadata Before Sending",
default on. The upload card says "Photo metadata removed".
Unit tests on generated fixtures with a GPS IFD (JPEG orientation 6,
JPEG + comment, PNG with eXIf + XMP, WebP with EXIF); verified end to
end: the bytes stored by Synapse decode fine and carry only Orientation.

public/manifest.json declares share_target (POST multipart to
/share-target: title/text/url + image/video/audio/pdf/text files). The
service worker answers that POST itself: it stashes the form in a Cache
API bucket and 303s to the in-app /share page, which lists what arrived,
offers a room search, and on pick writes the files into that room's
upload-board atom (encrypting first for E2EE rooms via the composer's
shared filesToUploadItems) and the title/text/url into its draft, then
opens the room — the user still presses Send. The stash is cleared once
placed; reopening /share afterwards says so.
nginx/caddy examples and the prod image config gain a 303 for
/share-target so a POST that reaches the origin before the worker
controls the page lands on /share instead of a 405. iOS has no share
target support and ignores the manifest entry.
Verified headless against the built preview: SW-controlled page → POST
/share-target (two PNGs + title + text) → /share lists both files and the
text → pick the DM → composer shows both files on the upload board and
the text in the draft → /share reports nothing pending.
