This is (hopefully) a bit of an edge case, and not sure what could be done about it within the current architecture.

When user views e.g. Animal Assets list page in WF, the thumbnail images normally show up - but apparently that only works if user is also currently logged in to farmOS. Whereas if they are not, the "alt text" is shown for each image, since the browser will get a 403 forbidden response when it tries to fetch the images.

So, mostly just documenting the issue for now. The "real fix" long-term would be to import the images themselves instead of just the URL I suppose. I'm not in any hurry to do that, and may never want to.
