   From today's triage discussion: Actually implementing a fix shouldn't be too difficult, but need some further investigation first, to wit:

   • Determine how expensive it is to tell if an item is available locally or not
   • Determine if we (and if so, how expensive is it) can get a percentage of an item that's available locally

   If it's expensive:

   • Check only at time of download, and if the item isn't fully available locally, give a warning modal that we have to find the full tree and that might take a while if it's not all available

   If it's not expensive:

   • Add a UI element in the Files screen table to indicate whether an item is fully local or not (perhaps including percentage local availability)

   As of time of writing, bandwidth doesn't support our swarming on getting this fixed, but let's keep close to the top of our "quick fixes" priority list.
