Ratings and edits made on the tablet queue and are then refused on reconnect,
on a credential that pushes the catalog to the same library root in the same
sync pass. Chased on the device, since that is where the account lives.
A failed PUT now logs the server's own words, and on a 403 asks the parent
what rights it reports. The answer:
PUT .../PhotosRaw/2026/2026-08-03/_MG_9221.drsc -> 403
<s:exception>Sabre\DAV\Exception\Forbidden</s:exception>
parent permissions: MGNVCK
`M` mounted, `G` readable, `N` renameable, `V` moveable, `CK` create files and
folders. Absent: `W`, update an existing file, and `D`, delete. So `PhotosRaw`
is a mounted share that accepts a file once and refuses every change to it
afterwards.
That is the whole bug, and it is not one this side can retry its way out of. A
sidecar is rewritten on every rating and every edit, so the first judgement on
a photograph is written and every later one is refused — which reads as sync
being broken rather than as a share missing one permission. **The fix is to
grant update, and ideally delete, on that mount.**
`PermissionDenied` now says so, rather than "not allowed to write here", which
sent the reader to re-check a login that was working. Its test asserts the
intent — points at the folder, never at the credential — rather than a
phrase, so saying it better cannot read as a regression.
Also adds a `put_probe` example that makes the same request from a stored
session, for diagnosing this from a desktop when one is signed in.
