Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat: folder-scoped sharing

Share a single VMS Folder without exposing the rest of the project.
Each folder gets its own share_token, independent of the project share
and of other folders. The public link is /vms/shared/folder/<id> with no
project segment, so moving the folder never breaks it. Trashing the
folder clears the token; scope is the folder's own assets only (nested
subfolders excluded).

Backend (vms/api.py, VMS Folder):
- share_token field + revoke_share_on_trash controller hook
- enable/disable_folder_sharing, get_shared_folder,
  get_shared_folder_assets
- get_shared_asset_view_url / _download_url take an optional folder arg,
  validated against the folder token (project path unchanged); folder
  validation also rejects an unshared folder for authenticated non-VMS
  users

Frontend:
- ShareFolderPanel, Share entry in folder card / row / actions menus
- /vms/shared/folder/:folderId route reuses SharedProjectPage in folder
  mode
- in-folder header menu now shows the folder's actions

Tests deferred (see plans/folder-scoped-sharing.md).

+# Folder-scoped sharing
+
+## Problem
+
+Sharing today is project-wide only. `VMS Project` carries a single `share_token`;
+`get_shared_project_assets` filters by `{project}` and returns every asset in the
+project as a flat list. There is no way to share one folder without exposing the
+rest of the project.
+
+## Goal
+
+Share a single folder. A guest with a folder link sees the files **directly in
+that folder** — not its subfolders, not sibling or parent folders.
+
+## Decisions
+
+- **Scope**: the folder's own assets only. Nested subfolders are not shown or
+  reachable.
+- **Independence**: each folder carries its own `share_token`, unrelated to the
+  project's share or any other folder's. Project + any number of folders can be
+  shared at once; revoking one touches nothing else.
+- **URL**: `/vms/shared/folder/<folder-id>?token=…` — no project segment, so
+  moving the folder between projects never breaks the link.
+- **Lifecycle**: moving the folder keeps the link. Trashing the folder clears its
+  `share_token` (link dies). Restoring does not bring the link back — the user
+  re-shares. The link always reflects the folder's current files.
+- **Guest page**: reuses the existing shared-page shell — folder name as title,
+  flat grid, preview, per-file download, "Download all".
+- **Entry points**: a "Share" item on each folder card's ⋮ menu (grid and list
+  view) and in the "Folder actions" dropdown when inside a folder. Opens a side
+  panel like the project one.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+Recursive/subtree sharing · link expiry / passwords · audit-log entries for
+share actions (project sharing isn't audited either) · zip download · guest
+uploads · extracting sharing out of `api.py`.
+
+## Backend (`vms/api.py`, `vms_folder`)
+
+- `VMS Folder` gains `share_section` + `share_token` (Data, hidden, read-only,
+  unique) — mirrors `VMS Project`.
+- `VMSFolder.revoke_share_on_trash()` (called from `validate`): clears
+  `share_token` whenever `deleted_at` is set. Covers every trash path since they
+  all `.save()`.
+- New whitelisted methods:
+  | Method | Auth | Returns |
+  | --- | --- | --- |
+  | `enable_folder_sharing(folder)` | `require_vms_access()` | `{share_token, share_url}` |
+  | `disable_folder_sharing(folder)` | `require_vms_access()` | `{status: "ok"}` |
+  | `get_shared_folder(folder, token)` | guest | `{name, folder_name, project_name}` |
+  | `get_shared_folder_assets(folder, token, page, page_size)` | guest | same shape as `get_shared_project_assets`, filtered to `{folder}` |
+- `_validate_folder_token(folder, token)` — mirrors `_validate_project_token`,
+  also rejects a trashed folder.
+- `_validate_shared_asset_scope(project, token, folder)` — returns the
+  `(field, value)` a shared asset must match: `("folder", folder)` when `folder`
+  is given, else `("project", project)`.
+- `get_shared_asset_view_url` / `get_shared_asset_download_url` gain an optional
+  `folder` param and use `_validate_shared_asset_scope`. `project` becomes
+  optional. Behaviour with no `folder` is unchanged.
+
+## Frontend
+
+- `types.ts`: `Folder.share_token?: string | null`.
+- `useProjectBrowser`: add `share_token` to the folders `useList` fields.
+- `FolderCard.vue` / `FolderRow.vue`: `Share` menu item, `emit('share', folder)`.
+- `AssetList.vue`: forward `share-folder`.
+- `useProjectPageActions`: `shareFolderOpen` + `shareFolderTarget` state,
+  `openShareFolder(folder)`, `Share` entry in `folderActions`.
+- `ShareFolderPanel.vue` (new, ~90 lines, mirrors `ShareProjectPanel.vue`):
+  toggle that calls `enable_folder_sharing` / `disable_folder_sharing`, shows and
+  copies the link.
+- `ProjectDetailPage.vue`: wire `@share` / `@share-folder`, mount
+  `<ShareFolderPanel>`.
+- `router.ts`: `/shared/folder/:folderId` → `SharedProjectPage.vue`, `props: true`,
+  `meta: { guest: true }`.
+- `SharedProjectPage.vue`: optional `folderId` prop. When set, `isFolder` swaps
+  the info/assets endpoints to the folder ones and passes `folder` (not
+  `project`) to the asset-URL calls; title shows the folder name; status badge
+  and description are hidden. `downloadAll` unchanged.
+
+## Testing
+
+Deferred — full e2e/unit suite is a follow-up. One security assertion was
+verified during implementation: folder A (file a1) with subfolder B (b1) and
+sibling C (c1); sharing A, a guest gets a1 only, b1/c1 are rejected; trashing A
+clears the token and kills the link.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix: harden shared-folder access checks (Greptile review)

- _validate_folder_token requires a valid token for every caller; the
  authenticated-session branch that skipped the token comparison is gone,
  so a logged-in non-VMS account can no longer read a shared folder by id
- get_shared_asset_view_url / _download_url reject a trashed or
  still-uploading asset instead of only checking scope, for both the
  folder and project paths
