TL;DRpreview_url was chosen from an asset's tags, so anything outside input/output came back with no preview at all, and editing tags destroyed it. It is now derived from the file's own path.

Problem

Assets written anywhere other than the input and output directories came back from the API with no preview_url, so a client had nothing to render. The most visible case is images produced by preview nodes: they land in the temp directory and otherwise get a complete asset record — hashed, mime-typed, with dimensions — but no preview. Separately, because the choice was made from tags and tags are user-editable, removing a tag silently destroyed the preview URL of an asset that still had one.

Cause

_build_preview_url_from_view in app/assets/api/routes.py picked the /api/view type by testing the asset's tags in order — input, then output — and returned None when neither matched. Every other directory fell off the end of that chain. It also required a filename in user_metadata, which an API-created reference need not carry, so those produced no preview either.

Change

The URL is derived from where the file actually sits, using compute_asset_response_paths — the same helper the response already uses for display_name. The namespace (input, output, temp) becomes the view type, the path below it becomes filename, any leading directories become subfolder, and both halves are URL-encoded. Tags and user_metadata no longer participate.

A file outside those roots gets no preview URL, because /api/view has no directory type that could address it. Neither does content no client can render from its own bytes: images, video, audio and text do render and get a URL, while model weights do not, and a mesh reaches a preview the other way, through preview_id. Previewability is resolved the same way /api/view resolves the type it serves — the stored MIME type, falling back to the stored path — so a scan that recorded no MIME type does not cost an image its preview, and renaming an asset cannot change what previews.

Where an asset nominates a preview, that reference's path is used. Those are resolved a page at a time in one query rather than one per row, and a nominated preview that has been deleted drops out of the lookup and is no longer advertised. That lookup is deliberately not scoped by owner: /api/view does not check ownership for this URL shape, so scoping it would gate building the URL without gating access to the file, and would imply an isolation boundary that assets do not currently have.

This keeps /api/view rather than moving previews to the asset content endpoint. The content endpoint resolves any reference regardless of directory, which makes it a tempting single answer, but it is a download endpoint: it does not honour byte ranges, which native <video> and <audio> need in order to seek, it is owner-scoped via a header that a browser <img> fetch cannot attach, and it records an access on every fetch, which would turn rendering a list of thumbnails into a write per thumbnail.

Tests

python -m pytest tests-unit/assets_test/services/test_asset_response_preview_url.py tests-unit/assets_test/test_preview_url.py -q
37 passed in 7.61s

Run against the previous implementation, 31 of the 37 fail and 6 pass. The 31 are the bug: URL derivation across all three view roots, subfolder splitting and encoding, independence from tags, from user_metadata and from the editable name, the preview_id indirection, the MIME fallback, and the cases that must yield no URL. The 6 that pass on both are there to pin behaviour that must not move — that the URL serves the asset's bytes, answers a Range request with 206, resolves with no user header, that admitting text/ still forces .html to application/octet-stream + attachment, and that model weights get no URL from either the detail or the list route.

The preview lookup was measured flat in page size: one SELECT at 1, 50 and 500 rows, and none when no asset on the page nominates a preview.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The asset API now resolves owner-visible preview paths in bulk. It constructs /api/view URLs only for validated paths and previewable MIME types, except for nominated previews. Asset list, detail, creation, upload, and update responses use this resolution. New tests cover path validation, MIME handling, nominated and deleted previews, range requests, anonymous access, and forced downloads for HTML content.

P2 Badge Fall back to the filename when MIME metadata is missing

During the fast asset scan, records are deliberately created without metadata, so their asset.mime_type is None even when the filename is a previewable image, audio, or video. This check consequently removes preview URLs that the previous input/output path supplied, potentially permanently for fast-only or failed enrichment scans, although the /content endpoint itself already falls back to MIME detection from the reference name. Use the same filename fallback here before deciding the content is not previewable.

P2 Badge Verify nominated previews before advertising their URL

When a nominated preview reference is subsequently soft-deleted, this branch still emits its content URL because soft deletion leaves the foreign key in place; /api/assets/{id}/content filters deleted references and therefore returns 404. The same mismatch occurs if a preview ID refers to a reference not visible to the requesting owner, since preview assignment only checks that the row exists. Preserve the previous availability check, or otherwise ensure the nominated reference is active and visible before returning a broken preview_url.

🟡 Medium — The preview_id branch now builds /api/assets/{preview_id}/content unconditionally, dropping the old get_asset_detail existence check. Since soft-delete only sets deleted_at and never clears inbound preview_id pointers, a parent whose nominated preview is soft-deleted or no longer owner-visible permanently advertises a URL that /content 404s, instead of falling back to preview_url = None as before; re-validate the preview reference before emitting its URL.

🟢 Low_has_previewable_content returns False whenever mime_type is NULL, so legacy/unenriched images with a renderable extension get no preview_url even though /content can serve them via its mimetypes.guess_type fallback.

🟢 Lowreference_id is interpolated into the URL path without urllib.parse.quote(..., safe=''), dropping the encoding the old /api/view builder applied. It is not currently exploitable because ids and preview_ids are server-generated, reference-validated UUIDs (so the raised path-traversal/CSRF concern is unfounded), but restoring the encoding hardens the URL-construction boundary.

text/ is now included, as of ee82765 — a .txt/.md/.csv asset gets a preview URL. A .html one is still forced to application/octet-stream + attachment when fetched, so widening the set doesn't let markup render inline.

3d needs no change: meshes have no renderable mime in core, and a nominated preview already covers them.

Learning: In PyOpenGL, bare Python scalars can be accepted for 1-element array parameters by NumberHandler. This means you can pass an int/float directly to OpenGL texture deletion (e.g., glDeleteTextures(tex)) without wrapping in a list. Verify function-specific expectations and ensure types match what the OpenGL call expects; use explicit lists only when the API requires an array.

nit: I think this function could have a better name. It isn't really building a preview url (since it doesn't attempt to determine whether there's a "preview" for the file_path). It's really just building a URL for the file at file_path directly.

I'm concerned about adding user ids here. Multi-user is so poorly supported in Core that we've discussed just ripping it out. The main thing it's used for today is just running multiple frontend tests concurrently, but assets have never been segmented by user (and that likely wouldn't work with the way we scan for assets since they all get dumped to the same folder).

Why are user ids necessary here?

Not necessary — removed in 7ede34d. /api/view doesn't check ownership for this URL shape, so scoping the lookup wasn't buying anything.

Comment thread app/assets/database/queries/asset_reference.py
preview_url was assembled from a /api/view link whose type was chosen by
matching the asset's tags against "input" then "output". Anything written
anywhere else - temp above all, where preview nodes put their images - fell
off the end of that chain and came back with no preview at all. Tags are
user-editable, so removing one also silently destroyed the URL.

Derive the URL from where the file actually sits instead. That covers every
root /api/view serves, temp included, and no longer depends on tags or on a
filename in user_metadata. A file outside those roots, or content no client
can render from its own bytes, gets no preview URL rather than one that
cannot work.

Nominated previews are resolved a page at a time rather than per row, so a
list costs one extra query however long it is. A preview that is soft-deleted
or not visible to the caller drops out of that lookup and is no longer
advertised.

Approving with a caveat: It looks like the changes I requested have been made, but because a merge from main was force pushed rather than recorded as a merge (bad bot), I don't have a clean way to actually know whether anything else was changed short of re-reviewing the entire PR.
I have asked @synap5e the human to manually review and ensure that this was just a clean merge from main before clicking merge. In the future, we should avoid ever force pushing after a human starts reviewing, but ESPECIALLY any merge from another branch.

Confirmed the bad bot did just rebase. Bots should no longer be able to FP a PR that has ever touched READY

Non bot confirmation: I can do this - its an effective proof.
