"Restore everything" — one button to undo an over-zealous moderation pass

Trash had Empty Trash but no constructive twin. Now there is one — same place, same shape, the opposite outcome.

Until today the Trash card had one big footer button: Empty Trash. Destructive, click-through confirmed, easy to find.

The opposite case was missing. A host who realised they'd been a bit aggressive — soft-deleted twenty shots they wished they'd kept — had to either Select-all → Restore-selected (two clicks plus a confirm) or restore each tile individually.

"Restore everything" now sits next to Empty Trash. Same icon-pair-then-label shape, the opposite outcome. The confirm dialog framing is gentler than Empty Trash's because restoring is reversible — re-deleting is one tap away — but it's still gated behind a click so a fat-finger doesn't unwind an intentional moderation sweep.

No new server logic; this reuses the bulk-restore action that's been quietly doing the work for the toolbar's selection-scoped button. The pair of footer buttons now mirrors the toolbar pair: a constructive twin for the destructive one, in both places.

Small thing. Mostly invisible if you never need it. Useful enough when you do.
