Describe the feature/enhancement
currently scan api exists which scans all the folders for the library.
this feature would help queue scan of only one of child folder in one of the folders of the library similar to this plex endpoint
it isn't a new endpoint, just an optional query param with the complete path to the child folder

mpc allows this:
mpc update [<path>] Scan music directory for updatesThe same functionality is requested from some sort of cli tool... if that's sending POST requests via curl, works for me.
@hjk321 commented on GitHub (Jun 29, 2024):
Please note that for some this is not just a nice enhancement - it's practically neccesary if your library folder is accessed over a network. Full scans of medium to large libraries can take upwards of 30 minutes and waste bandwidth, so this feature would help mitigate that.
@iconoclasthero commented on GitHub (Apr 25, 2025):
I'd like to once again request that this be added to abs. My libraries are too big to efficiently rescan because the watcher fails on a single title. I just cannot understand why that is the only way...
