state.py: per-instance sync state. <pack>/.cloud-sync/state.json
(mode 600) records last_pulled_snapshot_id + last_pulled_at +
host_tag. Versioned schema. clear() on remote-empty.
sync.pull decision tree (replaces the unconditional restore):
no token file
→ prompt_login_qt; on Skip return 0 (don't block launch)
no state + remote empty
→ no-op
no state + remote non-empty
→ restore (first-run on this machine)
state.id == remote.id
→ skip restore (up to date)
state.id != remote.id, no in-scope local edits since state.at
→ restore (fast-forward)
state.id != remote.id, in-scope local edits since state.at
→ prompt_conflict_qt
keep_local → don't restore; push will overwrite cloud
use_remote → restore + update state
cancel → exit 1
sync.push: --json output parsed for snapshot_id; state.json updated
to that id after a successful backup. Skips silently if no token.
_find_modified_in_scope: walks include roots, filters via
_matches_any (restic-style globs: dir/, **/dir/, **/*.glob).
Stops at 50 hits; we only need 'any' + a sample for the dialog.
_format_dt: hand-rolled (no GNU-vs-Windows strftime quirks) →
'Thursday, October 21, 2021 at 7:12 PM'.
Restic JSON parsing helpers: _parse_snapshots, _parse_restic_time
(handles nanosecond precision), _parse_backup_summary.
tests/test_state.py: 19 new tests covering state read/write, scope-
aware mtime walk, exclude glob matching, restic output parsers.
Total: 52 green.
