Summary
cfgsync backupmodes for the behavior requested in issue Add explicit backup modes for missing-only, refresh, and force behavior #75.--missing-onlyand--forceopt-in modes.Why
The project history made backup semantics ambiguous: one workflow wanted only missing stored copies, while the current v0.3.1 behavior refreshes changed backups. This PR makes those choices explicit without changing the registry format, app config format, storage layout, restore flow, snapshots, or history model.
User impact
cfgsync backupcontinues to create missing backups, refresh changed backups, and skip matching backups.cfgsync backup --missing-onlycreates only missing stored backups and preserves existing stored copies.cfgsync backup --forceoverwrites every stored backup from the current tracked originals.cfgsync backup --missing-only --forcefails with a clear CLI validation error.Implementation notes
BackupModeand keepsBackupCommand::Execute()defaulting to refresh-on-change.--missing-onlyfrom inspecting original files when a stored backup already exists, so existing backups can be preserved even if the original is currently missing.Validation
