* feat: Add selective folder scanning capability Implement targeted scanning of specific library/folder pairs without full recursion. This enables efficient rescanning of individual folders when changes are detected, significantly reducing scan time for large libraries. Key changes: - Add ScanTarget struct and ScanFolders API to Scanner interface - Implement CLI flag --targets for specifying libraryID:folderPath pairs - Add FolderRepository.GetByPaths() for batch folder info retrieval - Create loadSpecificFolders() for non-recursive directory loading - Scope GC operations to affected libraries only (with TODO for full impl) - Add comprehensive tests for selective scanning behavior The selective scan: - Only processes specified folders (no subdirectory recursion) - Maintains library isolation - Runs full maintenance pipeline scoped to affected libraries - Supports both full and quick scan modes Examples: navidrome scan --targets "1:Music/Rock,1:Music/Jazz" navidrome scan --full --targets "2:Classical" * feat(folder): replace GetByPaths with

* feat(gc): enhance garbage collection to support selective library purging Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> * fix(scanner): prevent race condition when scanning deleted folders When the watcher detects changes in a folder that gets deleted before the scanner runs (due to the 10-second delay), the scanner was prematurely removing these folders from the tracking map, preventing them from being marked as missing. The issue occurred because `newFolderEntry` was calling `popLastUpdate` before verifying the folder actually exists on the filesystem. Changes: - Move fs.Stat check before newFolderEntry creation in loadDir to ensure deleted folders remain in lastUpdates for finalize() to handle - Add early existence check in walkDirTree to skip non-existent target folders with a warning log - Add unit test verifying non-existent folders aren't removed from lastUpdates prematurely - Add integration test for deleted folder scenario with ScanFolders Fixes the issue where deleting entire folders (e.g., /music/AC_DC) wouldn't mark tracks as missing when using selective folder scanning. * refactor(scan): streamline folder entry creation and update handling Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> * feat(scan): add '@Recycle' (QNAP) to ignored directories list Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> * fix(log): improve thread safety in logging level management * test(scan): move unit tests for ParseTargets function Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> * review Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> --------- Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> Co-authored-by: Copilot <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: deluan <deluan.quintao@mechanical-orchard.com>
