//! Core file picker: filesystem indexing, background watching, and fuzzy search.
//!
//! [`FilePicker`] is the central component of fff-search. It:
//!
//! 1. **Indexes** a directory tree in a background thread, collecting every
//!    non-ignored file into a path-sorted `Vec<FileItem>`.
//! 2. **Watches** the filesystem via the `notify` crate, applying
//!    create/modify/delete events to the index in real time.
//! 3. **Owns files**: Provides a values for search and provides a good entry point for
//!    fuzzy search and live grep
//!
//! # Lifecycle
//!
//! ```text
//!   new_with_shared_state()
//!//!     ├─> background scan thread ──> populates SharedPicker
//!     └─> file-system watcher    ──> live updates SharedPicker
//!
//!   fuzzy_search()   <── static, borrows &[FileItem]
//!   grep()           <── static, borrows &[FileItem] (live content search)
//!   trigger_rescan() <── synchronous re-index
//!   cancel()         <── shuts down background work
//! ```
//!
//! # Thread Safety
//!
//! `FilePicker` itself is **not** `Sync`!
//! all concurrent access goes through [`SharedPicker`](crate::SharedPicker) .
//! The background scanner and watcher acquire write locks only when mutating
//! the file index, so read-heavy search workloads rarely contend.
