- Ten minutes plus five seconds a file per import (was one minute): the
first live run timed out while macOS's permission prompt was still up,
and Photos' duplicates question waits for a person too.
- Files go to osascript 200 at a time, all within the import's one time
limit: one run with every path went over macOS's 1 MiB argument limit
at about 10,000 files, and Photos got nothing. A failed later batch says
how many files Photos had added.
- The progress line "Adding to Apple Photos…" is translated on the UI
thread; on the export worker it was always English.
- docs/apple-photos.md: who can add what (the control port is reachable by
any local program, other users' included), batching, the new limit, and
tested end to end (macOS 26.6.2, Photos 11.0, packaged app). The parity
row says so; What's New has an entry.
