Library setup as the user described it: pick a folder, choose which RAW
types to look for, scan recursively.
dr-types::FormatFilter the tick-box selection, seeing through VFS
placeholder suffixes so a dehydrated CR2 still
matches as a CR2
dr-sync::scan recursive walk, Depth:1 per directory, pruning
unchanged subtrees where the backend propagates
directory ETags
Verified against nextcloud.tourolle.paris (34.0.2) on a real library:
browse root 32 entries, 98ms
scan PhotosRaw 17,185 RAW files in 334 directories, 34.1s
(7,836 CR2 + 9,349 DNG)
range read 262KB of a 21.5MB DNG in 119ms — 1.22% of the file,
and enough to read "Canon EOS 6D | ISO 100"
That last line is assumption A3 validated on real data. Cataloguing this
library by whole-file fetch would move roughly 370GB; the range path
moves a few MB.
Pruning is capability-gated rather than assumed: with per-entry ETags a
probe costs a request and proves nothing about children, so it is skipped
entirely. A test asserts zero probes in that case.
Still unresolved: /core/preview returns 400 for every parameter
combination tried, including on a JPEG the server reports as having a
preview. Not a request-shape bug — it fails identically bare. Recorded
rather than worked around; ARCH §6.7 already treats server previews as
opportunistic, so nothing depends on it.
