fix: fixed the image array to JSON error.

[Sahil2004]

Description of change

Image array to JSON error fixed.

The migration doesn't update any table rather just fixes the previous image data urls and converts it into proper array so that the previous data remains intact and we do not have to flush the whole DB to fix the error.

Issue Number

Closes #1075

@Sahil2004, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 38 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Post image storage changes from comma-delimited serialization to JSON, with migration support for existing rows. Pictique UI components now render provided image URI arrays directly, and the inlang project ignore rules were updated.

Changes

Post image encoding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Image persistence and migration platforms/pictique/api/src/database/entities/Post.ts, platforms/pictique/api/src/database/migrations/...	The Post.images column uses simple-json; the migration converts legacy comma-joined values to JSON arrays and supports reversing the conversion.
Direct image URI rendering platforms/pictique/client/src/lib/fragments/Post/Post.svelte, platforms/pictique/client/src/lib/fragments/PostModal/PostModal.svelte	Both components consume imgUris directly and remove chunk-pairing and derived URI logic.

Inlang project ignore rules

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Inlang project ignore rules infrastructure/control-panel/project.inlang/.gitignore	The ignore file now ignores all files except settings.json and includes explanatory guidance.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

- Around line 21-66: Update the up migration to process posts in bounded
keyset-paginated batches rather than loading all image rows at once; order and
fetch each batch using the post id, and continue until no rows remain. Replace
the per-row sequential updates inside each batch with a bulk update where
practical, while preserving the existing empty-string, valid-JSON, and legacy
comma-splitting conversion behavior.
