fix: skip an image OpenCV cannot decode while tagging

[NoiceHax]

Fixes #1444

get_classes returns None when cv2.imread cannot decode a file, and the loop went straight into len(classes), so the whole tagging pass died on the first bad image. Everything queued behind it stayed untagged, and each later run stopped on the same file.

This skips the image and keeps going. The test covers that the images after the bad one still get tagged.

I used an AI assistant on this and have read through the diff myself.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Image tagging now skips unreadable images instead of failing, allowing processing to continue for subsequent images.
  • Readable images continue to receive tags and face detection results as expected.
  • Unreadable image paths are logged for easier troubleshooting.

• Tests

  • Added coverage verifying unreadable images are skipped without affecting later image processing.

Walkthrough

The image tagging pipeline now skips images that the classifier cannot read, logs a warning, and continues processing later images. Regression tests verify tagging, class associations, face detection, and logging behavior.

Changes

Image tagging resilience

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Skip unreadable images during tagging backend/app/utils/images.py, backend/tests/test_tagging_pipeline.py	When classification returns None, the pipeline logs the unreadable image and skips class insertion, face detection, and tagged-status updates. Tests verify that later readable images continue through tagging and that unreadable images are not marked tagged.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0c272

The change skips undecodable images so tagging continues for later files; the remaining test-annotation follow-up does not affect production behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks.

Suggested labels: Python

Poem

A rabbit found an unreadable file,
Skipped it cleanly with a hop and a smile.
The next images moved through the queue,
With tags and faces assigned as due.
No stalled job remained in view.

Good catch on both. Fixed in 0c27210.

The assertions now check the exact inserted pairs and the tagged status argument, so a class attached to the wrong image would fail. I also added a person class to img2 so face detection actually runs, and asserted it is never called for the unreadable image. There is a second test for the warning.

I left the TypedDict alone. The function signature takes List[Dict[str, str]] so a plain dict matches what it is given.
