Review Device Sync Instead of Overwriting Everything
Device Sync no longer forces you to overwrite one machine with the other when both have changed. When there is a conflict, review exactly what differs — items only on this device, only in the remote snapshot, and what changed on both — then keep or discard each server, app, or domain, open a field-by-field comparison, and apply the merged result (optionally pushing it to your other machines). The all-or-nothing overwrite is still there if you want it. This release also lets a blank second device pull without adding a server first, stops built-in templates being treated as your data, and fixes several Pull Latest download and restore failures on S3-compatible storage.

What's Changed
New Features
5- Review device sync before anything is overwritten — when both devices have changed, Device Sync lists what exists only on this machine, only in the remote snapshot, and what changed on both sides
- Keep or discard each server, app, domain, or other item individually instead of taking the whole snapshot
- Open a field-by-field comparison for anything that changed on both sides before you choose
- Apply the merged mix on this device, or apply and push so your other machines get the same result
- The old all-or-nothing path is still there — overwrite this device with the remote snapshot, or overwrite remote with this device
Improvements
3- A blank second device can Pull Latest without adding a server first — connection info comes with the snapshot, so an unused install is treated as empty
- Built-in app templates stay on each device — the catalog is not counted as your data and is not overwritten by a pull from another machine
- Latest snapshot time matches the remote snapshot list — the status card and the list now use the same clock
Bug Fixes
4- Fixed Pull Latest failing with “Download failed” or “Failed to get metadata” — a second device can now download the snapshot after a successful connection test, including Backblaze B2 and Cloudflare R2
- Fixed Pull Latest rolling back with a restore error after the snapshot had started to import — leftover deployment history, Team workspace links, and command history no longer block the pull
- Fixed a blank install showing hundreds of local records and asking for a force overwrite — unused built-in templates and seeded providers are no longer treated as your data
- Fixed a failed-deploy warning appearing after a pull with nothing left to roll back to — the banner is cleared when deployment history is not part of the snapshot
