The two entry shapes for libraries.excluded_dirs / EXCLUDED_DIRS
are not symmetric:
- /sub/path → multi-segment, library-root-anchored, recursive
- name → single component anywhere in the tree
Without this pinned, a reasonable read of the column doc would be
"any path-like string works" — but a multi-segment string without a
leading slash silently never matches (the no-slash form scans path
components for exact string equality, and components are
slash-free).
No code change; just documentation.

Adds a nullable comma-separated TEXT column to the libraries table.
Effective excludes for a walk = (env-var globals) ∪
(library.excluded_dirs). Empty / NULL = no library-specific
extras; the global env var still applies.
Migration (2026-05-01-110000_libraries_excluded_dirs)
ALTER TABLE libraries ADD COLUMN excluded_dirs TEXT. NULL on every
existing row — no behavior change on upgrade.
Library struct + helpers (libraries.rs)
- Library gains excluded_dirs: Vec<String>, parsed from the column
by parse_excluded_dirs_column (drops empties / whitespace,
matches the env-var parser).
- Library::effective_excluded_dirs(globals) returns the union.
- From<LibraryRow> hydrates the field on AppState construction so
/libraries surfaces it.
Watcher / walkers / memories
Every per-library walker now consults the effective set:
- process_new_files (file-watch ingest, RAW/EXIF/face)
- process_face_backlog (filter_excluded inherits)
- create_thumbnails (startup + new-file branch)
- update_media_counts (Prometheus gauge)
- cleanup_orphaned_playlists (per-library source-existence check)
- memories endpoint (PathExcluder)
Effective set is computed once per per-library iteration in the
watcher tick and threaded through; called functions retain their
flat &[String] signature (no per-library awareness needed inside
the walker primitives).
Use case: mount a parent directory while a sibling library covers
a child subtree, and exclude the child subtree from the parent so
the libraries don't double-walk / double-write image_exif. With
hash-keyed derived data (Branches B/C), the duplication-avoidance
is the only cost prevented — face / tag / insight sharing was
already correct via content_hash.
Tests: 228 pass (226 from previous + 2 new in libraries::tests:
parse_excluded_dirs_column edge cases,
effective_excluded_dirs_unions_global_and_per_library).
CLAUDE.md gains a "Per-library excludes" subsection of the
multi-library data model.
