description: HomeView inline camera flow should show a non-mirrored preview and keep the saved/uploaded image in the same orientation the user saw while shooting
type: project

When fixing front-camera capture issues in `HomeView.vue`, keep the in-page preview and the final saved/uploaded image in the same non-mirrored orientation.

**Why:** Users rejected flows where the live in-page preview looked mirrored or differed from the final image. The expected behavior is “what I see while shooting is what gets used.”

**How to apply:** In the inline `simple-vue-camera` flow, avoid extra front-camera mirroring in either preview styling or snapshot normalization. Treat the in-page preview as the canonical orientation for `img`/`fileImg`.
