Right-click a folder (or a disk other than the startup disk) in the
sidebar's Folders section ▸ Synchronize Folder…: the dialog opens at
once and scans on a worker thread (with progress), then offers Import
new photos / Remove missing photos / Read metadata updates with their
counts (Lightroom Classic's defaults: import only). Synchronize runs
folder.synchronize on exactly the scan shown; closing the dialog
cancels a running scan and lets go of the result. New strings are
translated in every shipped language.

The scan waits on the disk, not the CPU, so its two halves now run at
once: the look for new files (which probes on its own threads) beside
the checks of the library's photos (missing file, newer sidecar), which
run on several threads like the import probes do. A cancelled scan stops
checking. Results keep the photos' order.

folder.scanChanges keeps its result in the session; folder.synchronize
uses it (once) while it is of the same folder and the catalog has not
changed since, so a scan made on a worker thread is not repeated on the
UI thread and files that arrive after the dialog was shown are left for
the next synchronize. Otherwise it scans again.

A scan compares a library folder (and the folders inside it) with the
disk without changing anything: new files (the import scan's duplicate
rules), missing photos (the Missing Photos rule) and metadata updates
(XMP sidecars saved after the photo came in or was last edited here
that say something the library doesn't). It runs without the session
(SyncInput + scan_with) so the app can scan on a worker thread.
folder.synchronize imports the new files in place and, when asked,
moves missing photos to Recently Deleted and reads the updated
sidecars, all as one "Synchronize Folder" undo step. Only folders the
library holds photos in are accepted, never the startup disk.

LRC-LIB-LIBFOLDERS lists folder.label and the Set Color Label menu, with
its limits (no filter or sort by folder label; labels don't follow a
folder moved outside LightCraft). What's new describes the feature and
catalog format v4. The roadmap notes folder records as the first step
towards Classic's folder-id model and when the next step would pay off.

Review fixes. folder_records_follow now drops records left at the
destination even when the moved folder carries none, so an unlabelled
folder renamed onto an old path no longer inherits that path's label.
folder.label {label: none} works once the folder's photos are gone (a
label can no longer get stuck); setting a label still needs photos.
Adds tests for both, undo/redo of a labelled move, and labels replayed
from the journal without a snapshot.

Right-click a folder or disk row in the sidebar's Folders section ▸
Set Color Label ▸ a colour or None (folder.label). A labelled row shows
the label's dot before its count, and its spoken name includes the label.
The colour items are shared with the photo menu (grid::label_items):
each is now a control-channel widget (photoLabel:/folderLabel:<colour>),
and choosing None closes the photo menu like choosing a colour does.

folder.label {path, label} gives a library folder a colour label (or
takes it off) as one undo step; only folders the library holds photos in
are accepted. library.folders reports each row's label. folder.rename and
folder.move commit the folder records with the photos' relinks, so the
labels of the folder and the folders inside it go along and undo/redo
carry them back and forth.

Library folders can now carry what the library knows about them beyond
their photos: FolderRecord (for now a colour label), kept in
Catalog.folder_records under the folder's identity (folder_key) and
changed through Op::SetFolderRecord, one undo step. An empty record is
never kept; a path that names no folder is refused.
folder_records_follow builds the ops that carry a folder's records and
those of its subfolders to its new place on rename or move (dropping
stale records left at the destination), so they can be committed with
the photos' relinks. FolderNode reports the label.

preset, background, resize, subfolder, conflict, tiffCompression and
dngCompression were in the export tool's schema (and so passed the new
argument check) but were dropped before reaching app.export.
