 This reports missing, zero-byte, unreadable, or asset-ID mismatched `.xmp` files.

+Refresh metadata only for an existing manifest-backed backup:
+
+```bash
+./bin/photoscli backup-all --out ./PhotosBackup --sidecar xmp --metadata-only
+```
+
+Metadata-only mode does not re-export media files. It uses manifest paths to find existing files and rewrites generated `.xmp` sidecars next to them. It requires `--sidecar xmp` and an enabled manifest.
+
 If you explicitly request `--sidecar xmp` and the XMP file cannot be written, the asset is counted as failed.
