The stock Grav `datetime` field template is deprecated and falls back to a
plain text box, so `type: datetime` + `default: now` rendered a raw input
showing the literal word "now" — unusable. Add a theme override at
templates/forms/fields/datetime/datetime.html.twig that renders a native
<input type="datetime-local"> (real calendar+clock, great on mobile), drop
the `default: now`, and prefill the current local time from post-form.js.
Also add `date` to the existing client-side validator. Together with the
picker (which can't hold an invalid value) this stops a bad/empty date from
round-tripping to the server — which was the trigger that made Grav re-render
the managed FilePond field from the session flash as filename-only inputs and
resurrect a photo the user had removed. Grav still reformats the submitted
value to the blueprint `format: 'Y-m-d H:i'` on save, so stored dates and
folder slugs are unchanged.

Runtime verification showed the custom picker uploaded to Grav's flash but
never attached photos to the entry — attachment needs FilePond's exact
(undocumented) submit contract. Reverting to type:filepond and hooking its
beforeAddFile: a HEIC item is rejected, converted to JPEG via the lazy heic-to
chunk, then re-added with pond.addFile() so FilePond owns upload + page-attach
(the proven path). Web-format photos pass through; conversion failures fail
closed (inline status, original never added). Removes the custom photos field
template + AJAX uploader.
Verified end-to-end in a browser: HEIC posts as JPEG, corrupt HEIC is skipped,
Submit gated while converting, draft photos-reselect hint intact.

Replace /post's managed filepond field with a controlled 'photos' field
(theme forms/fields/photos) + picker logic in post-form.js: magic-byte
sniff (ISO-BMFF ftyp brands, not filename/MIME), lazy import('heic-to')
only for real HEIC (deferred 3MB chunk via ESM splitting), per-thumbnail
converting/uploading/done/error states, in-flight counter gating Submit,
and fail-closed skip on conversion failure. Converted JPEGs POST to Grav's
AJAX file-upload route into the form flash (the only path copyFiles reads),
so add-page-by-form attaches them on submit. Web-format photos pass through.
