+// TRACES: FR-NC-6c | FR-NC-6a
+//! Hydrating a file for as long as it is needed, and no longer.
+//!
+//! A pass over a library — thumbnails, face indexing — needs each photograph's
+//! bytes for a moment and never again. On a virtual-filesystem folder those
+//! bytes may not be here, and fetching them is whole-file: hydrating a 17,000
+//! image library to index it would land the entire library on a disk the user
+//! deliberately keeps most of it off (ARCH §9.0).
+//!
+//! So hydration is a **borrow**. Ask for a file, use it, give it back. Peak
+//! disk becomes the working set rather than the library, and the transfer is
+//! paid once for a thumbnail that is then kept for ever — and pushed to the
+//! server for other devices, which never pay it at all.
+//!
+//! # The rule that makes it safe
+//!
+//! **A file is returned to the state it was found in.** If it was already
+//! downloaded — the user pinned it, opened it yesterday, or never uses VFS —
+//! the borrow leaves it downloaded. Only what this pass hydrated is released.
+//! Anything else silently undoes a choice the user made, and "my pinned trip
+//! evaporated after an indexing run" is the kind of failure that makes people
+//! stop trusting the feature.
+//!
+//! # Why it is reference counted
+//!
+//! Lanes run concurrently and two of them meet on the same file: the
+//! thumbnail pass and the face pass want the same RAW. Without counting, the
+//! first to finish dehydrates the file the second is reading. With it, the
+//! transfer is paid once and the release happens when the last borrower is
+//! done.

+// TRACES: FR-NC-6c
+//! Virtual-filesystem conventions layered over a directory.
+//!
+//! A sync client in virtual-files mode leaves a *placeholder* where a file is
+//! catalogued but not downloaded. The folder is otherwise ordinary, so all of
+//! [`FolderBackend`](crate::FolderBackend) applies — only three questions
+//! differ, and they are the whole of this trait: what is a placeholder, what
+//! is the photograph really called, and can the content be summoned.
+//!
+//! # Why this is not a separate backend
+//!
+//! It varies nothing about listing, reading, writing, moving or deleting — a
+//! second connector would duplicate every one of those to change a name test.
+//! More decisively, **the interesting capability is not a property of the
+//! backend at all**: the same folder can materialise on demand while the sync
+//! client is running and cannot when it is not, so it has to be computed per
+//! connection either way. Registering a `folder-vfs` provider beside `folder`
+//! would ask the user to choose between two things that differ by whether a
+//! background process happens to be up.
+//!
+//! # Why the plain case is a `Vfs` too
+//!
+//! [`NoVfs`] answers "nothing is a placeholder" and refuses to materialise.
+//! That keeps one code path through the backend rather than an `Option` tested
+//! at every call site, and it is the shape a third convention — Dropbox,
+//! OneDrive, macOS FileProvider — slots into.
+//!
+//! # What is *not* abstracted here
+//!
+//! Windows and macOS express placeholders in filesystem metadata rather than
+//! in the name: a reparse point, or `st_blocks == 0` against a non-zero
+//! `st_size`. That form needs a `Metadata` to answer, not a name, and the one
+//! convention this project has met needs only a name. Widening the trait for a
+//! platform nobody has run this on would be guessing at the shape.

+#### 9.0a Amendment, 2026-08-29 — VFS as a managed tier for *folder* libraries
+
+The rejection above was written when the only backend was the direct Nextcloud connector, and it
+assumed the alternative to hydration was a range read. Since `dr-sync-folder` exists (§8.4a) a
+library can be opened as a directory with **no server connection at all**, and that changes what
+finding 3 is comparing against.
+
+**What finding 3 actually says.** Hydration transfers ~100× what a preview needs *when a range read
+is available*. On a folder library there is no connector, so there are no range reads: the choice is
+not hydrate-versus-range-read, it is hydrate-once or never have a thumbnail. The finding stands
+unamended for the direct connector, which must still never hydrate to browse.
+
+**What makes the cost acceptable on a folder library**, and all three are required:
+
+1. **Hydration is a borrow, not an acquisition.** A file is returned to the state it was found in —
+   what the pass downloaded is released, what the user already had is left alone. Peak disk is the
+   working set, not the library.
+2. **It is paid once.** Thumbnails are kept, and `derived_sync` pushes the shards to the server, so
+   a second device downloads 200 MB of shards instead of hydrating 340 GB of RAWs.
+3. **It is quoted and consented to.** Never automatic, never on the browsing path, always
+   resumable and cancellable (FR-NC-6c).
+
+**What this does not change.** Findings 1 and 2 stand and are now implemented rather than merely
+noted: a stub is not transparent, so `RemoteEntry` carries `materialised` and the backend reports
+`RemoteError::NotMaterialised` rather than a miss; and the socket remains the only way to hydrate,
+so it stays Linux-only, optional, and absent on Android.
+
+**The one thing that must never be got wrong.** Releasing content means asking the client to
+dehydrate — never deleting the file. A deletion inside a synced tree propagates to the server and
+removes the photograph from every device the user owns. `RemoteBackend::dematerialise` says so, the
+`Vfs` trait says so, and an implementation that cannot dehydrate returns `Unsupported` rather than
+approximating it with `remove_file`.

-## 6. What the abstraction does not yet cover
+## 6. Virtual filesystems
+
+A sync client in virtual-files mode leaves a **placeholder** where a file is
+catalogued but not downloaded. On Linux — the only mode it supports — that
+means `IMG.CR2` does not exist at all and `IMG.CR2.nextcloud` does, holding one
+byte. ARCH §9.0 measured a real machine: 121,785 placeholders against 10,267
+materialised files.
+
+A folder library that ignores this is not merely degraded, it is dangerous.
+Before the handling below existed, the folder connector catalogued every stub
+as a 1-byte image, gave it an identity that changed the moment it was
+downloaded, and — worst — reported a dehydrated *sidecar* as absent, which made
+the sidecar writer create a fresh document over an existing one and discard
+every edit another device had put there.
+
+### 6.1 Three questions, one trait
+
+Everything else about a synced folder is an ordinary directory, so this is not
+a second connector. `dr_sync_folder::Vfs` asks only what differs:
+
+```rust
+pub trait Vfs: Send + Sync {
+    fn name(&self) -> &'static str;
+    fn is_placeholder(&self, on_disk: &str) -> bool;
+    fn real_name<'a>(&self, on_disk: &'a str) -> &'a str;
+    fn placeholder_name(&self, name: &str) -> Cow<'_, str>;
+    fn can_materialise(&self) -> bool;                       // defaulted false
+    fn materialise(&self, local: &Path) -> Result<(), RemoteError>;    // defaulted
+    fn dematerialise(&self, local: &Path) -> Result<(), RemoteError>;  // defaulted
+}
+```
+
+`NoVfs` for a plain directory; `dr_sync_nextcloud::NextcloudVfs` for a synced
+one, wrapping the `DesktopClient` socket. A third convention is a third impl.
+
+**Why not a `folder-vfs` provider.** The interesting capability is not a
+property of the backend: the same directory can materialise on demand while the
+client is running and cannot when it is down, so it must be computed per
+connection either way. Registering two providers would ask the user to choose
+between two things that differ by whether a background process is up. The
+convention is detected instead, per connection, by a hook the registry supplies
+(`FolderProvider::with_vfs_detector`) — which is what keeps `dr-sync-folder`
+free of any client's protocol.
+
+### 6.2 What the backend reports
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `RemoteEntry::path` | the photograph's name, never the stub's — so identity survives a download |
+| `RemoteEntry::materialised` | `false` on a stub; the catalog maps it to `Availability::Offline` |
+| `RemoteEntry::size` | `0` on a stub, meaning *unknown* — see below |
+| `get` on a stub | `RemoteError::NotMaterialised`, **never** `NotFound` and never the stub's one byte |
+| `put` over a stub | refused; writing a rival file hands the client a conflict to resolve arbitrarily |
+| `move_to` a stub | moves the stub and keeps it a stub — culling without downloading is ordinary |
+| `delete` a stub | deletes it; a photograph is deleted whether or not its bytes are here |
+| `capabilities().materialisation` | `OnDemand` with a client, `Placeholders` without, `Always` on a plain folder |
+
+**Size is genuinely unknown.** A Linux suffix-mode stub is one byte and carries
+no record of what it stands for. The client's `._sync_*.db` has the real size,
+but that is a private schema and reading it would couple us to their migrations.
+FR-NC-6c wants a transfer size quoted before an operation starts; for a stub the
+honest answer is that it cannot be, and the interface should say so rather than
+report one byte or invent an estimate silently.
+
+### 6.3 Hydration is a borrow
+
+The rule: **a file is returned to the state it was found in.** What a pass
+downloaded is released; what the user already had is left alone. `BorrowPool`
+enforces it.
+
+```rust
+let pool = BorrowPool::new();
+{
+    let held = pool.borrow(&backend, &path).await?;   // downloads only if absent
+    // ... read it, thumbnail it, index its faces ...
+}                                                     // borrow ends
+let stats = pool.release_all(&backend).await;         // dehydrates only what it hydrated
+```
+
+Three properties that are not obvious:
+
+- **Reference counted.** The thumbnail pass and the face pass meet on the same
+  RAW. Without counting, the first to finish dehydrates the file the second is
+  reading; with it, the transfer is paid once and released when the last
+  borrower is done.
+- **Prior state is read before asking.** After `materialise` there is no way to
+  tell what the pass brought from what was already there, so it is recorded
+  first. Getting this wrong silently undoes a pin, and "my pinned trip
+  evaporated after an indexing run" is the failure that would make people stop
+  trusting the feature.
+- **Being unsure is not symmetric.** `borrow_known(.., Some(true))` keeps a file
+  that might have been ours — costing disk. `Some(false)` releases one that
+  might have been the user's. An uncertain caller passes `true` or `None`,
+  never a guess at `false`.
+
+A borrow against a plain folder or a server backend short-circuits and does
+nothing, so a pass written for a VFS library runs unchanged everywhere rather
+than growing two code paths.
+
+### 6.4 Release means dehydrate, never delete
+
+The single most dangerous thing in this feature. A synced folder is not a
+cache: deleting a materialised file inside it propagates the deletion to the
+server and removes the photograph from every device the user owns. `Vfs` and
+`RemoteBackend::dematerialise` both say so, and an implementation that cannot
+dehydrate returns `Unsupported` rather than approximating it.
+
+This is also why the originals cache (`dr_catalog::cache`) cannot simply be
+pointed at a VFS library: `Cache::release` deletes bytes, which is right for a
+copy under `originals/` and catastrophic in place.
