+**Status:** ✅ COMPLETED
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+
+-   Renamed `self.folderDict` to `self.keyDict` for clarity and consistency
+-   Updated internal dictionary storage to use `serie.key` as the dictionary key
+-   Modified `scan()` method to store series by key: `self.keyDict[serie.key] = serie`
+-   Enhanced logging in duplicate detection to show both key and folder for clarity
+-   Added debug logging when storing series showing both identifiers
+-   Updated error contexts in exception handlers to include both `key` and `folder` in metadata
+-   Updated completion statistics to use `len(self.keyDict)` for series count
+-   Updated `reinit()` method docstring to reflect key-based storage
+-   Enhanced `__read_data_from_file()` docstring to clarify that `folder_name` is only used to locate data files
+-   All error messages now properly reference both `key` (identifier) and `folder` (metadata)
+-   All 554 unit tests pass successfully, confirming no regressions
+-   Code follows PEP 8 style guidelines (max 79 characters per line)
