P: Filter Attribute for 'AI Update Required'

The new "Needs AI Update" status appears to be populated asynchronously and can change hours after no user activity. In my testing, additional photos appeared in the collection hours later despite no editing having taken place. This makes a Smart Collection based on that status unreliable as a monitoring tool.

Rather than requiring users to continuously monitor catalog-wide Smart Collections for AI update status, consider surfacing the warning at the point where it becomes actionable. For example, when exporting photos, Lightroom could detect selected photos that contain AI masks created with an older AI model and offer to update them before export.

This would provide the information when it is relevant, reduce the need for continuous background monitoring, and better align the warning with the user's workflow.

For most photos in a large catalog, it doesn't matter whether an AI mask needs updating; it only matters when the photo is being actively edited or exported.
