The thumbnail or video preview is generated while the message is posted.
When ffmpeg or libvips can't decode the file (a truncated upload, an .mp4
holding only audio), the error escaped after the message had been saved:
the request failed with a 500, the message was never broadcast, and the
sender's upload stayed at 100% while the rest of the files in that drop
were never sent. Posting the message without a preview keeps the file and
lets everyone see it.

Search showed the last 100 matches by created_at, so SQLite collected every
message containing the words and sorted them before keeping a page. A common
word in a large account meant sorting most of its history on every search.
Ordering by the full-text index's rowid, which is the message id, lets SQLite
walk the index from the newest match and stop once the page is full.
