+/**
+ * The folder badges' numbers, kept right without a reload.
+ *
+ * A folder's `unreadCount`/`totalCount` come from the server (`GET /mail/folders`, the server-published `Folder` update
+ * event, and the poll), but waiting for a round trip to see a badge move after reading a message feels broken, so a change
+ * made here is applied to the badge at once - **optimistically** - and then *reconciled*: every so often, and after every
+ * change, the real counts are read back and replace whatever this page worked out. So the page can be wrong for a moment,
+ * never for good.
+ *
+ * What the server sends (`@rapidmx/restapi`): `GET /mail/folders` returns each folder with a derived `unreadCount`/`totalCount`
+ * (unread messages, all messages), and after any change to a folder's messages it publishes
+ * `{ type: /^Folder/, action: "update", data: { uid, mailboxUid, unreadCount, totalCount } }` on the folder's push channel *and* its
+ * mailbox's, so each is heard twice - the values are absolute and applying one again changes nothing. Nothing here fails without
+ * that event, or for a write that publishes none (ActiveSync/MAPI, erasure jobs): the read-back after each change and the poll do
+ * the same job a little later, and overlapping writes to one folder are unordered, so they always have the last word.
