Summary
All media is the library home: titles stay on reachable Macs. The hosted app does not store or proxy the catalog.
Result
Thumbs and streams come from the Mac agent. A public finder is not this wall.
Lesson
Keep the library behind a session. Do not paste a signed-in gallery onto the personal-brand root.
