Folders alone can no longer make the visual collection usable. I am connecting its catalog to the VALESKA PostgreSQL and pgvector store so related images can be found by meaning as well as recorded fields.

2026-02-14. Folders alone can no longer make the visual collection usable. I am connecting its catalog to the VALESKA PostgreSQL and pgvector store so related images can be found by meaning as well as recorded fields.

## What this establishes

The work remains a bounded technical experiment. It creates evidence for the next decision without claiming a finished understanding of the collection.

**Historical basis:** This entry is dated to the 2026-02-14 repository milestone, commit `dd4f65a`. It is based on the contemporaneous implementation record and its documented scope.
