The 'repopulates a stale search_normalized on a full rescan' spec runs two full scans back-to-back. Whether the second scan refreshes the unchanged artist depends on folderEntry.isOutdated(), which compares folder.updated_at (written during the first scan) against the second scan's library.last_scan_started_at using a strict time.Before(). Both are time.Now() values captured milliseconds apart. On Linux's fine-grained clock they are always distinct, so the test passes. On Windows the coarse wall-clock granularity frequently makes the two timestamps land in the same tick and compare equal, so Before() returns false, the folder is treated as up-to-date and skipped, the artist is never re-persisted, and search_normalized stays empty -- failing the assertion intermittently across unrelated PRs. Backdate the folder's updated_at an hour before the second scan so the comparison is unambiguous on every platform. This is a test-only timing artifact (real rescans never run milliseconds apart on an unchanged library), so no production code changes are needed.
