loadArtistFolder decided whether to climb above the common directory by comparing len(paths) against 2. That count stands in for "how many distinct album roots are there", and the two diverge when an artist has two albums in the same folder: the slice holds two identical entries, the climb is skipped, and the artist folder resolves to the album folder. Deduplicate the roots so the branch tests the property it means to test. Replace the includeParent flag with two functions split by audience. The flag was a caller-identity switch - constant true at the album, disc and mediafile readers, all of which discard the returned paths, and constant false at the only caller that reads them. The artist path now has loadArtistAlbumRoots, which collapses each album to its own root and never consults albumRootParent; loadAlbumFoldersPaths goes back to taking a single album and always promoting the parent. Both share the folder load and image aggregation. This also makes albumRootParent's contract structural. Its guard only rejects an artist folder when it can find audio outside the album being resolved, so passing every album of an artist at once made the check meaningless; taking a single album means it can no longer be called that way. Drops the per-album grouping and unclaimed-folder reconciliation from the album path, where the result was discarded, and removes 15 mechanical true arguments from the tests.
