+/**
+ * One-time migration script: uploads/ -> MinIO (S3-compatible object storage)
+ *
+ * Reads all image files from the local uploads/ directory and uploads each
+ * to the S3 bucket via the storage service. Preserves original filenames
+ * as object keys.
+ *
+ * Prerequisites:
+ *   - S3_ENDPOINT, S3_ACCESS_KEY, S3_SECRET_KEY env vars must be set
+ *   - The S3 bucket must exist (created by docker-compose or manually)
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   bun run scripts/migrate-images-to-minio.ts
