Immich Sdcard Sync Prune

This skill should be used when building or debugging a macOS launchd automation that uploads a camera SD card's contents to Immich on insert (via @immich/cli), or when building a workflow to prune Immich assets that were deleted from their source card/folder after import. Covers the Immich CLI's non-obvious API key permission requirements (album.create vs albumAsset.create, the "Found 0 new files" scoped-key bug), launchd's StartOnMount trigger and its missing-Homebrew-PATH gotcha, parsing `immich upload -j` JSON output, the Immich bulk-delete (trash vs permanent) endpoint, and — critically — why a delete/prune workflow across multiple source cards feeding one album must scope its diff by a per-source manifest rather than diffing the whole album, or a second card mounted alone will make every surviving photo from the first card look deletable. Trigger phrases include "sd card to immich", "immich cli upload", "@immich/cli permissions", "albumAsset.create", "Found 0 new files and 0 duplicates", "launchd StartOnMount", "immich upload -j json output", "immich bulk delete trash", "DELETE /api/assets force", "prune immich assets deleted from card", "multiple sd cards same immich album".
