FR-CAT-13 asked for standard XMP and `core/dr-xmp` answered the file: it
has read and written `dc:subject`, `xmp:Rating`, `xmp:Label` and the IPTC
core since 5fa4c07, under an ownership rule that leaves everything else in
the document untouched. What nothing did was call it. No scan found an
`.xmp` beside a raw, no catalog row was filled from one, no judgement
wrote one back, and the "external modification detected, reload offered"
clause had no mechanism. A library imported from Lightroom came in and
could not go back out.

The scan collects `.xmp` beside `.drsc` from the listings it was already
paying for, and the pull reads each one whose ETag has moved. Both
namings resolve: darktable's `IMG_0001.CR3.xmp` names its file exactly,
Lightroom's `IMG_0001.xmp` names the stem, and under the stem the JPEG
beside a RAW is the same photograph and takes the same document, as
DarkRoom's own sidecar already does. Each is reconciled with the catalog
winning — keywords union, a rating or label taken only where the catalog
has none — because a standard XMP carries nothing that could say whether
its value is newer. A genuine disagreement is not resolved; it is written
to a table, and the settings page offers the sidecars' values against it.
That button is the reload the requirement asks to be offered, and the
ETag that moved is the detection it asks for: an `.xmp` edited elsewhere
is exactly a file the pull's ordinary incrementality re-reads.

Writing goes the other way behind a setting that starts off, since NFR-R4
makes writes beside somebody's originals theirs to switch on. With it on,
a judgement or a keyword rewrites the sidecar of whichever spelling
exists, or creates Lightroom's. The record is read from the catalog
whole at that moment rather than carried from the gesture, so a rating
and a keyword a second apart are two writes of one file that agree. And
the file's own title, caption, copyright and hierarchy come through the
rewrite: the catalog has no columns for them, `rewrite` replaces the
owned set wholesale, and a record that said nothing about them would have
deleted them from a Lightroom sidecar on every star.

The rating's two axes cross the format's one field both ways: a
rejection is Adobe's `-1` and stars are stars, and stars arriving on a
rejected frame lift the rejection, since the file said it was worth a
number. An unrated file says nothing and clears nothing, on the rule the
`.drsc` merge keeps. `versions.label` finally has a reader and a writer,
with the code table moved out of the query so the two cannot drift.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 bb71f141e7 Let a folder on this machine be scanned into the catalog
`dr_catalog::scan` has known since it was written what a changed directory
means — when to prune, when to list, and the one question that decides whether
a deletion sweep is safe. It was fully tested and nothing called it, because
walking a real directory "belongs to the platform layer" and the platform layer
was eleven lines re-exporting `secrets`. So every photograph in DarkRoom
arrived over WebDAV, and a user without a Nextcloud account saw nothing at all.

This is the missing half: a `Storage` trait, a filesystem implementation of it,
and the driver that pours one into the other.

The trait is shaped by the platform it does *not* yet support. Android's SAF
gives no filesystem path, which is why `SourceRef` exists; less obviously, it
gives no way to *compose* one either — a document id is opaque, and the only
way to learn a child's id is the children query that returned it. So a listing
hands back the reference to each entry rather than a name for the caller to
join onto a parent, and there is deliberately no "path + name" helper anywhere
above `LocalStorage`. That single restriction is what makes SAF a second
implementation rather than a second set of call sites. A reference is otherwise
an opaque `(RootId, key)` pair the catalog stores verbatim and rebuilds later,
which a persisted tree grant supports exactly as a relative path does.

A `Path` now appears in one place: `LocalStorage::grant`, where the folder the
user picked is handed in. Everything above it addresses a `RootId`.

`dr_catalog::walk` is the seam. It probes a directory, asks `scan` what that
means, lists only when told to, and reconciles what it found against the rows
it holds. Two things it does are worth saying out loud, because both are ways
to lose a library:

Absence only counts where absence was observed. A listed folder proves its
missing images are gone; a pruned one proves nothing about its contents, and a
scan that was cancelled or that failed part-way proves nothing about folders it
never reached. So the file sweep runs per listed folder, the folder sweep runs
once at the end and only after a complete scan, and a root that cannot be
reached at all marks its images offline and deletes nothing — FR-CAT-9's line
between proven-absent and merely-unreachable, which is the difference between
unplugging a drive and losing everything on it.

A trashed image is absent from its folder on purpose. It is exempt from both
sweeps, and detached from a folder about to be deleted rather than cascaded
away with it, or a soft delete would come undone the first time the folder it
came from was rescanned.

Two things the tests taught, both changes to what was there before:

Modification times are now milliseconds, not seconds. Change detection asks
whether a timestamp moved, so the unit's granularity is the width of the window
in which a change is invisible — and a second is long enough to copy a card and
start a scan. The test that caught it looked like a test bug; it was not. SAF
reports milliseconds natively, so this is also the unit that needs no
conversion on the platform with the coarser clock.

And an in-place rewrite of an existing file is invisible to directory-level
pruning, because writing to a file moves neither its directory's mtime nor its
entry count. That is a real limit, now documented and held by a test rather
than left to be discovered. It bites less than it reads: an export, a restore,
`mv`, and every editor that saves safely write beside the file and rename over
it, which does move both.

Narrowing the format filter no longer deletes what it stops matching, which
fell out of the same principle: unticking JPEG says stop looking for new ones,
not discard the hundred already rated. The files are sitting right there.

`DirState` and `DirEntry` move to `dr-types`. They are the sentence the
platform says to the catalog and both crates need the same one; `scan`
re-exports them so nothing that used them has changed.

Not done: the UI. The launch screen's "Open library" flow is account-shaped
from the first field to the thumbnail worker, and giving it a local branch is
its own piece of work rather than a button. `cargo run -p dr-catalog --example
scan_local -- ~/Pictures` scans a real folder and reports what it cost; run it
twice to see the second run list nothing.

dtourolle c8bb08e661 Add folder scan with format selection; validate A3 on a real library
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.
