Short IDs become the canonical identifier in URLs (/i/:short_id),
MinIO/R2 storage keys, and all API responses. Hash-based deduplication
is preserved. Includes two-phase Alembic migration (003 adds nullable
column, 004 enforces NOT NULL) with a backfill script to copy storage
objects and populate short_id for existing images.
