John O'Keefe 89fc479bdb docs(admin): scanning page — the shallow vs. force taxonomy from source
First page of the admin tree, written to the new admin tier (what the
click actually does). Documents every scan surface with its verified
semantics: Force Rescan All Libraries (dashboard, force, all libraries,
one job each with skip-on-active), the per-library Scan button (ALSO a
force scan — hx-vals force:true since the button's birth commit 706be09d,
which corrects the owner's stated 'other scan buttons are shallow'
belief; flagged to the owner), Scan this folder (shallow, single-folder
scope, archive pass skipped for partial scans, podcast roots refused),
Auto-Scan + Scan Interval (the watcher + poll + startup triggers, all
shallow, default 60s range 1-3600), Processing Issues retry (per-item
sequential, deliberately not a library scan), and book-level Rescan /
Reset to Scanned. Plus the standing rules: one scan per library
(coalescing), background jobs with the dashboard progress panel, and
the two-consecutive-scans archive rule.

Glossary gains Scan and Scan this folder (same-commit rule for controls
cited in prose). The real-tree nav test's Administration assertion now
pins shape (Admin Guide, Libraries prefix + usabilityOrder subsequence)
instead of an exact slice, so pages landing one at a time don't churn it.

<!-- Gate-checked by TestUIControlLabels (internal/docs/ui_labels_test.go):

# UI controls glossary
The canonical spellings for controls cited across the UI documentation. Docs
quote the label exactly as this page lists it — one entry per control; two
spellings of one control is a defect. The `controls` block is machine-read:
when a doc first names a control, add its entry in the same commit; when a
rename lands, update the entry in the same commit and the gate goes green
again.
Entry fields:
- `label` — the exact rendered text users see
- `where` — semantic path (page → section/card), never spatial; see the
[writing standard](writing-ui-docs.md)
- `does` — what interacting with it produces (the outcome)
- `source` — optional; default `templ` (`templates/*.templ`); `ts` searches `web/src`
- `also` — optional, pipe-separated extra literal fragments to search when
the visible label is Alpine-composed rather than static (OR-checked with `label`)
- `note` — optional clarifier
Form-field labels inside a single modal (Name, Description…) are cited
inline in docs and not tracked here; this list carries the controls people
navigate by.
