//! Owned directory entry produced by [`crate::scan_dir`].
//!
//! This type is intentionally distinct from [`std::fs::DirEntry`]:
//!
//! * It owns its data (`PathBuf`, `FileType`, `Option<Metadata>`) so instances
//!   are `'static` + `Send` and can cross thread boundaries — required for the
//!   iced / GUI lazy-loading use case.
//! * "Is this a directory?" is decidable in-memory without another syscall
//!   via [`DirEntry::is_dir`] — the whole point of returning `Vec<DirEntry>`
//!   instead of `Vec<PathBuf>` for a lazy tree.

/// An owned directory entry returned by [`crate::scan_dir`].
///
/// Unlike [`std::fs::DirEntry`], this type is fully owned: it holds its own
/// [`PathBuf`], a cached [`FileType`], and an optional cached [`Metadata`].
/// That makes it cheap to move across threads and safe to keep around after
/// the underlying directory handle has been dropped.
///
/// `file_type` reflects the entry's own type *without* following symlinks
/// (matching the semantics of [`std::fs::DirEntry::file_type`]). Use
/// [`DirEntry::is_symlink`] to detect symlinks explicitly.
