A bot's folder chip went to bare /admin/files instead of the folder it
named, and even once there the computer volume pointed at the wrong
directory, so the folder a bot linked to looked empty.
The chip lost its folder because folderRefUrl only accepted a ref's
volume name (computer) while the chip hands it the browser's
(computers), so storageVolumeFromRef found nothing and the whole query
was dropped. Both spellings resolve now, through parseStorageSpec, so a
bad owner falls back cleanly instead of emitting owner=0.
The deeper bug: a computer's home was assumed to be
DATA_DIR/computers/<id>, but on a bind mount it can be anywhere on the
docker host, and a computer the app didn't provision (the main one on a
server reached at MAIN_COMPUTER_URL, i.e. a dev server outside docker)
records nothing at all. resolveComputerHomeDir holds the precedence:
the directory provisionComputer actually bound in
(containers.metadata.data_dir), else the new MAIN_COMPUTER_DATA_DIR app
setting for the main computer, else the conventional folder.
A path that isn't on disk also no longer reads as an empty folder:
listStorageEntries reports it as missing and the page says so, so a
stale folder link can't look like a folder nothing has written yet.
