- sync-case-state browser and stale-refresh tests use lastPickedCase (the stale test now fails without its guard)
- saveLastUsedCase runs on the case-sync chain, and the follow is skipped while this device's own pick was not stored
- _caseStateSyncOn tolerates a harness without loadAppSettingsFromStorage
- lastPickedCase added to the config-backup volatile-key test and docs; rename rollback tests cover caseSettings and lastPickedCase
- wiki row moved to System
Merge-time fix for #661. The pre-restore copy was forced, so a restore made
while the live files equalled the newest backup spent a retention slot on a
duplicate. It now goes through the normal change check: when nothing changed
since the newest backup, no copy is made and safetySnapshot names that
backup. Two tests that relied on the forced copy now change a file before the
restore; a new one pins the reuse.

Merge-time fix for #661. A restore that could not write one file (a full
disk, a directory where the file should be) used to stop there and answer a
bare 500, naming neither the files it had already put back nor the
pre-restore copy, and the Settings form was not re-read, so the next Save
wrote the old settings back over a restored settings.json.
restoreConfigBackup now writes every verified file it can, then throws
ConfigBackupPartialRestoreError with restored, failed (name and error),
untouched and safetySnapshot. The route runs the same reload hooks and audit
for the files written as a full restore does, and answers 500 with the error
envelope plus those fields (and restartRequired) in data, as the tab-layout
409 carries its layout. Settings refills the form when settings.json is among
the restored files, also on that path. Tests: a unit case where a later file
is still restored, the clis.json-as-a-directory route case, and two vm cases
for the Settings handler.

Review round 3 on #661: retention aged each snapshot by its own createdAt, so the first change after a quiet month deleted the last good copy; it now ages from when the next snapshot was made. users.json lastLoginAt, settings.json lastUsedCase and intents.json recentPrompts/updatedAt are volatile keys for the change check. The keep count has a minimum of 2. Wiki restore paragraph aligned with RESTART_REQUIRED.
Review round on #661: webhook.json and intents.json are redacted in compare and URL values lose userinfo/query; a custom folder is probed (bounded, pastCap) before each pass and in each route and only created when its parent exists; manifests record an origin and change check, prune, list, restore and diff are scoped to it; a restore reloads IntentStore, lists untouched files and treats settings.json as restart-required; remote-cases.json is tracked; stale .tmp-cfg-* folders are swept and a failed restore unlinks its temp; the group is hidden from non-admins; an empty days field saves 30.
Settings -> System -> Config backups gains a Compare view: a backup against the
running config, a backup against the one before it, or any two backups. Each
differing file lists its changed keys as before/after, plus files that appeared
or vanished. GET /api/config-backups/diff?from=&to= serves it (`to` defaults to
`current`; admin only in multi-user mode).
Credential values are never returned: .env, users.json and push-keys.json report
names only, and any other key that looks like a token, secret, password,
credential or key is reported as changed without its value. A non-JSON file
reports only that it differs, a file is cut at 200 changes, and a self-refreshed
discovery timestamp does not count as a difference.
custom-model-hosts.json carries a lastDiscoveredAt per host that the 5-minute model
discovery poll rewrites, so the content hash never matched the latest snapshot and a
snapshot was written every tick. At the default keep count of 20 that left about 100
minutes of history and evicted every useful older copy.
The change check now looks through volatile keys per tracked file. The snapshot still
stores the file as written and restore still verifies against its own digest.
The files that hold a user's customization (settings.json, clis.json, custom-model-hosts.json,
webhook.json, intents.json, linked-cases.json, push-keys.json, users.json, .env) are plain JSON
in the data dir, rewritten by the server, the Settings UI and the CLI, with no copy to go back to.
A snapshot is taken at startup and whenever the tracked files' content changes (checked every
five minutes, and only written when a digest of the file set differs from the latest snapshot's),
into `<data dir>/backups/config` by default or any absolute folder. Retention keeps the newest
configBackupKeepCount (1-500) and, when configBackupKeepDays > 0, drops older ones; it only ever
deletes folders it made (name pattern and a parseable manifest) and never the newest.
GET/POST /api/config-backups list and back up now; POST .../:id/restore verifies every file against
the manifest's SHA-256, takes a pre-restore snapshot, then replaces files atomically with mode
0600, writing only allowlisted names. Snapshots are 0700 folders of 0600 files and all routes are
admin only in multi-user mode. Settings -> System gets the controls and a Restore list.
