Picture audit

Images

Every article image is fetched and hashed. Where the vision model is available, each one is also described without showing the model the headline, then compared against it — so the description and the verdict can be judged separately.

The vision audit is not running

The language model server is running without an image projector (--mmproj), so it reports no vision capability and image descriptions are skipped. Image fetching and identical-file detection below work regardless. The audit starts filling in on its own once the model server is restarted with a projector.

The same file, more than once

Grouped by SHA-256 of the image bytes. “The same image” here means the files are identical — there is no perceptual matching, so a re-encoded or cropped copy of the same photograph will not appear.
