+  SharedPhotoView.vue - External Image Sharing Handler
+  
+  Handles images shared to TimeSafari from external applications via deep linking.
+  Provides options to use shared images for gifts or profile pictures, with
+  integrated image upload and processing capabilities.
+  
+  Key Features:
+  - Process externally shared images from device
+  - Upload images to image server with authentication
+  - Convert images to gifts (GiveAction) or profile pictures
+  - Temporary storage management for shared image data
+  - Comprehensive error handling for upload failures
+  - Integration with PhotoDialog for profile image cropping
+  
+  Image Flow:
+  1. External app shares image → TimeSafari deep link
+  2. Image stored temporarily in database as base64
+  3. User chooses: Record Gift, Save as Profile, or Cancel
+  4. Image uploaded to server with JWT authentication
+  5. Temporary storage cleaned up
+  
+  Navigation Paths:
+  - External Share → SharedPhotoView
+  - Record Gift → GiftedDetailsView (with image URL)
+  - Save Profile → PhotoDialog → AccountView
+  - Cancel → HomeView
+  
+  Migration Status: ✅ Complete Enhanced Triple Migration Pattern
+  - Phase 1: Database Migration (PlatformServiceMixin) ✅
+  - Phase 2: SQL Abstraction ($dbQuery, $dbExec, $accountSettings, $updateSettings) ✅
+  - Phase 3: Notification Migration (3 constants, helper methods) ✅
+  - Phase 4: Template Streamlining (Simple template) ✅
