Bulk escape hatch for archived rows (files missing from disk for 2+
scans) so a mass external deletion never has to wait out the retention
window or be clicked away row by row:
- POST /api/media-items/purge-archived (admin only) hard-deletes all
archived items and returns the purged count; reading history goes with
the rows, so the call is confirmed in the UI first.
- The library admin page shows an 'Archived items: N' card (only when
non-zero) with a Purge Archived Now button that calls the endpoint,
toasts the result, and reloads.
- Frontend admin JS exposes window.purgeArchivedItems following the
existing localStorage-bearer-token pattern.
