"""Maintain a lossy MP3 mirror of a lossless music library. Walks a source library and reproduces it, path for path, as MP3 in a separate directory tree: FLAC in, MP3 out, same relative layout, tags and cover art carried across. Sources that are already MP3 are copied rather than re-encoded. The mirror is derived state. It is only ever written to, never read as a source of truth, so it can be deleted and rebuilt at any time. Nothing here writes to the source library. Staleness is tracked by modification time: an encoded file is given its source's mtime, so a file is out of date exactly when the two differ. That makes runs idempotent without a database to keep in step.
