Sync conflict resolution

Sync runs an automatic merge on every SYNC NOW. Both sides' edits survive without you picking a winner. Two rare dialogs can interrupt the sync:

Sync conflict. Opens when both devices changed the same value at the exact same moment. The app shows a small dialog with the phone's value and the computer's value side by side; pick a side per row. Sixty-second auto-cancel. Cancelling leaves both devices unchanged.

Large change detected. Opens when eighty percent or more of the items the computer remembered from the last sync are missing on one side with no deletion records. Almost always this means one device was reinstalled or wiped. Three buttons: USE COMPUTER DATA, USE PHONE DATA, CANCEL SYNC. The picked side's data is sent to the other device. Sixty-second auto-cancel.

For diagnosing sync issues, turn on DEBUG LOGGING. Every connection writes a sync-{timestamp}.log file under %APPDATA%\JotBunker\debug-logs\ capturing the full sync conversation. See Debug Logging.
