Research direction

Reproduce the issue in fman by copying a file over an older file in a folder, then inspect how the folder view refreshes after the replacement. Verify that the displayed size and timestamp update to match the copied file; the issue does not name a source file or test, so locating the relevant code will require repository exploration.
