dtourolle f12aece07e Make storage pluggable, and prove it with a folder backend
`RemoteBackend` existed from the first release and bought nothing it was
designed for. Seven files in `dr-ui` constructed a `NextcloudBackend`
directly, an account *was* a server URL beside a DAV user id, the local
cache directory was named after a hostname, and the launch screen knew
that signing in meant a browser handshake. The trait was real; the seam
was documentation.

A trait over operations is only a quarter of it. Pluggable storage needs
four things, and this adds the other three:

- **Capabilities** — already there, and the reason the engine can drive
  two backends at the speed each actually runs at.
- **Configuration** — `dr_sync::Account`: where a library lives, in
  whatever form its connector addresses, with no server in it. Loads
  every existing config unchanged (`backend` defaults to `nextcloud`,
  `endpoint` is stored under its historical `server` key), and
  `Account::namespace()` reproduces the old catalog directory byte for
  byte, because changing it would abandon a catalog, its thumbnail
  shards, and the sidecars holding unsynced offline work.
- **Registration** — `BackendProvider` and `BackendRegistry`.
  `ui/dr-ui/src/remote.rs` is now the only file above `dr-sync` that
  names a connector.

`Connection` (an account plus an optional `Secret`) replaces the
credentials-and-user-id pair that was threaded through fifteen
signatures in an order that could be swapped. `Secret`'s inner string is
reachable only through `expose()` and its `Debug` prints `Secret(***)`,
so the indirect leak — a `{:?}` on anything holding one — no longer
compiles into a leak.

Nextcloud is unchanged and keeps every peculiarity: propagating ETags,
chunked upload v2, `oc:fileid`, the `oc:permissions` probe on a refused
PUT, the 423 retry classification, Login Flow v2. Those are what the
capability model exists to serve, not something to hide.

`dr-sync-folder` is the second connector: a local disk, a network mount,
an external drive, or a folder a Nextcloud client already syncs. No
account, no credential — the route that works where no secrets daemon
does. It declares `LocalEtags` rather than claiming propagation a POSIX
directory cannot provide, which costs nothing because 50k `stat` calls
are not 50k PROPFINDs. Identity is a path hash, not an inode: an inode
survives a rename but differs between devices and is reused after a
delete, so two machines would disagree about which photograph a
thumbnail belonged to. Re-deriving a thumbnail is a cost; showing the
wrong one is a bug.

docs/storage.md is the contract — the traits, the four steps to add a
backend, and what each connector declares. ARCH §8.0 and §8.4a, and
FR-NC-13, say why.

dtourolle 09e3043f4c Add secure credential storage, sessions, and a launch screen
Login now persists properly rather than through the JSON file the test
harness was using.

  dr-plat            SecretStore trait plus a Secret Service backend.
                     Verified against the live GNOME Keyring: store,
                     retrieve, delete, confirm-gone all round-trip.
  Session/SessionStore   splits credentials from settings — the app
                     password goes to the keyring (FR-NC-2), while
                     server, login, chosen root and format selection are
                     ordinary config. A test asserts the credential never
                     appears in the config file.
  LaunchModel        the launch-screen state machine, testable without a
                     display server: sign in, approve in browser, choose
                     folder, tick formats, sign out.
  launch.slint       the screen itself, in its own file.

Absence of a secrets daemon is an explicit degraded mode, not a silent
fallback to plaintext — the screen says sign-in will not persist rather
than letting the user find out next launch. Android's Keystore backend
fails loudly for the same reason: a no-op store would look like it
worked and then lose the credential.

Two bugs caught by tests rather than by running it:

  - fail() after busy() signed the user out, because busy() had already
    discarded the session. A failed *scan* would have logged you out.
    Busy now carries the session.
  - normalise_server upgrades http:// to https:// rather than accepting
    it. NFR-SEC-3 requires TLS, and silently sending a credential in the
    clear is not a decision to make on the user's behalf.

launch.slint is not yet wired into app.slint. Calling slint_build::compile
twice replaces the generated module rather than adding to it, which broke
the other in-flight work on dr-ui; I reverted that immediately. Wiring it
needs an import inside app.slint, which is that work's file to change.

419 tests passing across ten crates.

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.

dtourolle fbadf9afc8 Add live-server harness; centralise the rustls provider install
Adds a read-only example that exercises the connector against a real
Nextcloud: Login Flow v2, PROPFIND listing, the Depth:0 ETag pruning
probe, a 256KB range GET, and a server preview request. No PUT, MOVE or
DELETE, so it cannot alter a live library.

Running it against nextcloud.tourolle.paris (34.0.2) surfaced a real API
flaw rather than an example bug. The crypto provider was installed in
NextcloudBackend::new, but authentication necessarily runs *before* a
backend exists — so any caller following the documented flow panicked on
the first client build. Every entry point now goes through
`http_client()`, which installs the provider first, and auth gains
`begin_default()` for callers with no client yet. A test builds a client
without a backend to keep the regression out.

Also populates RawImage::crop from rawler's crop_area/active_area and
re-phases the CFA pattern when the crop origin is odd — cropping to the
active area without that swaps red and blue.

Login Flow v2 confirmed working against the live server: the flow URL is
issued and the poll endpoint responds. The remaining checks need a
browser approval, so they run interactively.

88 tests passing.
