Summary

• make scheduled account sync fail when its configured backup sync returns a failure
• preserve newer numeric profile identity and handle ownership when backup sync merges a prior valid generation after live updates
• use imported profile snapshots to let genuinely newer backup state update an older live database
• safely adopt proven legacy selected-account profile_me rows into the canonical numeric profile after imported references exist
• make related profile snapshot, bio-entity, and affiliation conflict merges timestamp-aware

Proof

• 1,442 tests passed
• format, lint, typecheck, client/SSR/CLI builds passed
• stale-backup, newer-backup, and production-shaped legacy-profile regressions pass
• contradictory and account-mismatch legacy aliases remain separate
• Codex autoreview reported no actionable findings

Live discovery

Production rehearsals completed all six data steps and correctly exited 1 while surfacing two backup-import bugs: stale handle ownership and a legacy profile_me collision with the canonical numeric selected account. In both cases the scheduler stayed unloaded, no lock remained, and the clean backup checkout was unchanged. This PR fixes the status propagation and both import paths before scheduling is re-enabled.

ClawSweeper review

What this changes

The PR makes scheduled account sync report backup-export failures and adds timestamp-aware reconciliation for imported profile identities, snapshots, affiliations, and bio entities.

Merge readiness

⚠️ Ready for maintainer review - 2 items remain

No actionable patch defect was found. This owner-authored PR is cleanly mergeable with passing CI and targeted regression coverage; it remains open for routine maintainer merge review because it intentionally changes scheduled-job failure signaling and backup-import conflict behavior. Likely related people: steipete (feature owner and recent area contributor, high confidence).

How this fits together

Scheduled account sync refreshes local X data and then runs configured backup synchronization, returning an audit result to launchd or other schedulers. Backup import merges portable JSONL profile data into SQLite, where profile identity and history rows feed search and downstream reads.

Loading

Before merge

• Resolve merge risk (P1) - Existing scheduled account jobs with backup auto-sync will now exit nonzero on backup failure, intentionally changing launchd alert and retry behavior.
• Resolve merge risk (P1) - Backup imports will resolve profile conflicts by recorded snapshot recency and legacy-identity evidence, which is compatibility-sensitive for existing SQLite data.

Metric	Value	Why it matters
Production versus regression coverage	production +452, tests +916, docs +2	Most new code is accompanied by focused coverage for the backup-import and scheduler cases it changes.

Merge-risk options

Maintainer options:

1. Accept the deliberate upgrade behavior (recommended)
   Merge with the understanding that configured backup failures now produce scheduler failures and imports resolve profile state by timestamped evidence.

Technical review

Best possible solution:

Keep backup failures visible to schedulers while preserving local profile state unless newer imported snapshot evidence and proven identity links justify an update.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Yes—on the pre-PR path, account sync calculated success from sync steps alone despite a failed backup result; the focused job and CLI regressions exercise that path, and import tests cover the affected profile states.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Yes—the patch keeps the failure signal at the job boundary and uses existing snapshot history for import decisions rather than introducing a separate backup mode or data store.

Labels

Label justifications:

• P2: The PR corrects scheduled backup-failure reporting and local profile import behavior with a bounded operator and data-merge impact.
• merge-risk: 🚨 compatibility: The patch intentionally changes existing scheduler exit status and persisted-profile conflict resolution during backup imports.
• rating: 🐚 platinum hermit: Overall readiness is 🐚 platinum hermit; proof is 🌊 off-meta tidepool and patch quality is 🐚 platinum hermit.
• status: 👀 ready for maintainer look: ClawSweeper has no concrete contributor-facing blocker left for this PR. Not applicable: Not applicable: this is an OWNER-authored PR; its body also reports production rehearsals and passing validation, but the external-contributor proof gate does not apply.

Evidence

What I checked:

• Current-main boundary: Current main is 1b94a3f, whose parent is this PR's base 15f831b; the intervening main commit does not touch the PR's account-sync or backup/profile-identity paths, so the central behavior is not already implemented on main. (1b94a3fb8dc8)
• Scheduled failure propagation: The account-sync audit result now includes backup.ok, so a configured backup failure reaches the CLI's nonzero result while a disabled backup remains successful. (src/lib/account-sync-job.ts:393, 1353329ec9c2)
• Import reconciliation coverage: The merge path prepares profile rows using imported snapshot recency before inserting them, then finalizes proven legacy identity adoption after referenced rows are present; focused tests cover stale, newer, handle-handoff, and legacy selected-account cases. (src/lib/backup.ts:3283, 1353329ec9c2)
• Feature history: The original scheduled backup call dates to the released v0.12.1 lineage, while the current PR head adds the propagation and reconciliation behavior; the same contributor has recent profile/backup hardening history. (src/lib/account-sync-job.ts:391, b676647c1c8e)
• Repository policy: No target-repository AGENTS.md was present; no matching maintainer-note file was found for this surface. (1353329ec9c2)

Overall follows the weaker of proof and patch quality.
Shiny media proof means a screenshot, video, or linked artifact directly shows the changed behavior. Runtime, network, CSP, and security claims still need visible diagnostics.
