Thumbnailer rotates the bounding box instead of the image · case 03

Portrait thumbnails come back with landscape dimensions for rotated photos.

Case contract

Input [stored_w, stored_h, tag, box_w, box_h]. Compute the displayed thumbnail size: tags 5..8 swap the displayed dimensions (other values, including invalid tags, do not). Scale = min(box_w/dw, box_h/dh, 1) exactly (never upscale); each side is rounded half up and is at least 1 pixel.

Why this case matters

Camera, phone and scanner images carry an orientation hint separately from the stored pixels; galleries, thumbnailers, editors and upload pipelines must interpret it consistently or photos appear sideways, mirrored or doubly rotated.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
