## Tasks

### 1. Server health indicator on card `[ ]`
- Call `/api/health` or ping the Immich server on load
- Show green/red dot or badge on each server card
- Auto-refresh periodically or on page load

### 2. Album selector filter-by-name `[ ]`
- Add search/filter input above the album checkbox list in tracker form
- Filter albums by name as user types (case-insensitive)
- Show match count

### 3. Album last update time `[ ]`
- Fetch `updatedAt` from Immich album API response
- Display formatted last update time next to each album in the selector
- Format relative ("2 hours ago") or absolute based on locale

### 4. Review and improve message template engine `[ ]`
- Current: simple Python `str.format()` style `{variable}` placeholders
- Blueprint uses Jinja2 with `{% if %}`, `{% for %}`, `| join` filters
- The TemplateConfig stores raw template strings
- Review: should the server render templates using Jinja2 with the full
  variable context? Currently `notifier.py` just does simple format()
- Proposal: Switch to full Jinja2 rendering in notifier with all 40+
  variables, conditional blocks, loops over assets, filters
- Add template documentation/reference panel in the template-configs UI
- Add a "variable reference" sidebar showing all available variables
  with descriptions and example values

### 5. Change user password `[ ]`
- Add password change form to user profile (sidebar footer or /settings page)
- Backend: `PUT /api/auth/password` (current_password + new_password)
- Admin can also reset any user's password via /users page
