The scanner was setting CTime to info.ModTime() as a placeholder since afero's FileInfo interface doesn't expose ctime directly. This change extracts the actual ctime from the underlying syscall.Stat_t via platform-specific build files: - macOS (Darwin): uses Birthtimespec (file creation/birth time) - Linux: uses Ctim (inode change time) - Other platforms: falls back to mtime Also adds: - Documentation of ctime semantics in README.md (new 'file metadata' section) - Platform differences table (macOS birth time vs Linux inode change time) - Note that ctime is recorded but not restored (not settable via standard APIs) - Updated README schema to match actual schema (adds ctime, source_path, link_target) - Doc comment on CTime field in database model closes #13
