Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Settings on Debian 13: open “Scan Files & Folders,” choose “Select Directories,” and inspect the volume dropdown. Trace the directory-selection UI and filesystem-volume handling to determine why the root volume is displayed incorrectly; done means the volume “/” appears correctly.
