#### Synchronize directory modified timestamps to newest or oldest child files

Folder Timestamp Synchronizer scans directory trees on Linux and updates each folder's
last-modified timestamp (mtime) to match the newest or oldest file inside it. A lightweight
Linux alternative to FolderTimeUpdate for restoring accurate folder dates after backups,
file migrations, archive extractions, or version-control operations.

Key features:

* Flexible Timestamp Target Modes: Synchronize folders to the newest recursive child file,
  newest immediate child file, or oldest recursive child file with configurable glob exclusions.
* Dry-Run Diff Preview Table: Inspect scanned file counts, reference child file paths,
  current folder mtime, target child mtime, and exact time delta before modifying any directory.
* Atomic Bottom-Up Updates & Undo Rollback Journal: Applies nanosecond-accurate os.utime()
  updates bottom-up from deepest subdirectories first and records a 1-click Undo Rollback Journal.
* Drift Telemetry & Reports: Visualizes directory timestamp drift distributions across trees
  and exports full audit reports to CSV and JSON formats.
