hasOwnAttachmentFolder

Checks whether a note’s attachment folder is specific to that note rather than shared with its siblings.

The answer is derived by comparing the note’s attachment folder with the one a same-folder sibling note would get: they differ only when the folder depends on the note’s NAME. Every built-in attachmentFolderPath mode — the vault root, a fixed folder, the note’s own folder (./), a subfolder of the note’s folder (./sub) — is shared by every note in that folder, so it answers false; true arises from Custom Attachment Location’s resolver deriving the folder from the note’s name.

This is the distinction a caller needs before sweeping an attachment folder wholesale: only a note-specific folder can be treated as belonging to the note.
