service reads EXIF `DateTimeOriginal` automatically when it is present. Because
iOS Shortcuts can blank that EXIF field while creating the ZIP, `photo_dates`
supplies the same Photos-library metadata explicitly, one ISO 8601 value per
image in archive order. An upload without either source is rejected instead of
image in archive order. `date_taken` overrides both sources for the whole batch;
it accepts a year, calendar date, or ISO timestamp and is intended for analog
photos. An upload without any date source is rejected instead of
being placed under the upload year. Re-sharing the same images, caption, and
highlight with dates replaces the earlier undated upload. Captions are plain
text and optional.
