Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Split View implementation and how Files currently handles folder operations. Clarify the synchronization rules, conflict handling, and completion criteria with maintainers before locating the relevant C# entry points; done means two directories can be compared and synchronized reliably from Split View.
