   - backend debug broadcasts
 
 ## Recent Change Log
+- Date: `2026-03-24`
+- What changed:
+  - Simplified the GIPHY image-search UX so it presents raw search results instead of looking like an AI-evaluated result flow.
+  - Updated the image-mode copy to describe direct GIPHY search results, and changed the shared preview modal labels/content for GIPHY items from AI-note style metadata to plain result/source info.
+- Why it changed:
+  - The image-search experience should behave like a straightforward provider search result browser, not like the video-side Gemini review flow.
+- How it was verified:
+  - `node --check frontend/app.js`
+- What is still risky or incomplete:
+  - This is a UX clarification pass; the backend still uses Gemini only for multilingual query expansion and does not do visual evaluation on GIPHY items.
+
 - Date: `2026-03-24`
 - What changed:
   - Relaxed Gemini image-query expansion parsing so loose plain-text numbered lists can still be accepted when the model prepends explanatory text instead of returning a clean JSON object.
