### Phase 4: Directory Leasing
**Priority: MEDIUM** | **Estimated Effort: 2-3 weeks**

Directory leasing extends the lease concept to directories for improved metadata caching.

#### 4.1 Core Directory Lease Infrastructure
```
Package: jcifs.internal.smb2.lease

- Address the reader naturally (commonly using “你/你的”).

### Headings

- Follow existing Simplified Chinese heading style (short and descriptive).
- Do not add trailing punctuation to headings.
- If a heading contains only the name of a FastAPI feature, do not translate it.
