Description
Adds cross-device settings sync by storing Sable's app settings in a Matrix account data event (
moe.sable.app.settings). Change a setting on one device and it propagates to your other sessions automatically.Fixes #

AI disclosure:
What the generated code does:
settingsSync.ts— Serialise/deserialise helpers that convert the settings state to/from the account data wire format. Unknown keys are preserved so older clients don't silently drop data from newer ones.useSettingsSync.ts— The main sync hook. On mount it reads any existing account data and merges it into local state. It then listens for live updates from other devices viaClientEvent.AccountData. Uploads are debounced by 2 seconds and each one embeds a randomsynctoken; when the server echoes the event back, the hook recognises its own token and skips re-applying it. ExposessettingsSyncStatusAtomandsettingsSyncLastSyncedAtomfor UI feedback.General.tsx— Adds a "Sync settings across devices" toggle and a JSON export/import section for manually backing up and restoring settings.ClientNonUIFeatures.tsx— Mounts the sync hook once at the client root so it stays active for the whole session.settings.ts— AddssettingsSyncEnabled: boolean(defaultfalse) to the settings atom.Type files — Registers
moe.sable.app.settingsin the account data type registry so SDK callbacks are typed correctly.Tests cover the serialise/deserialise helpers, load-on-mount, merge behaviour, echo-loop skipping, debounced uploads, and error states.
