"""
Bulk upload Photos library originals to the media-gallery backend.
Run this from an SSH session on plum (NOT from within the iPhotosSync app).
SSH-spawned processes have no App Bundle ancestry, so macOS Privacy Framework
does not intercept their open() calls for Photos library paths.
The iPhotosSync app (App Bundle context) has all open() calls intercepted for
Photos library paths via _fcntl_overlay_open / responsible-process tracking,
even with Full Disk Access TCC granted. This script bypasses that entirely.
Usage:
python3 bulk-upload.py [--jobs N] [--dry-run]
