+- Startup scripts run patch helpers before boot (`scripts/patch-lightningcss.mjs`, `scripts/patch-endpoint-media-scope.mjs`, `scripts/patch-endpoint-files-upload-route.mjs`).
 - The media scope patch fixes a known upstream issue where file uploads can fail if the token scope is `create update delete` without explicit `media`.
+- The files upload route patch fixes browser multi-upload by posting to `/files/upload` (session-authenticated) instead of direct `/media` calls without bearer token.
