[cli] panic: interface conversion: float64 not int8 in GetFileType when exporting Locker files

[addy2k]

Bug Description

ente export crashes with a panic when trying to export files from Ente Locker via CLI.

The CLI successfully connects to the account, finds all albums, and starts downloading the file — but panics at the GetFileType function due to a type mismatch: JSON returns numeric values as float64, but the code expects int8.

Steps to Reproduce

1. ente account add → choose app type: locker
2. Login with email + passkey
3. Run ente export

Error Output

panic: interface conversion: interface {} is float64, not int8

goroutine 1 [running]:
github.com/ente-io/cli/pkg/model.(*RemoteFile).GetFileType(...)
github.com/ente-io/cli/pkg/model/remote.go:87 +0xf4
github.com/ente-io/cli/pkg/model.(*RemoteFile).IsLivePhoto(...)
github.com/ente-io/cli/pkg/model/remote.go:91

Environment

• OS: macOS (Apple Silicon)
• CLI version: installed via brew install ente-cli
• App type: locker
• File type in Locker: JPG image

Expected Behavior

File is downloaded and saved to export directory.

Actual Behavior

CLI panics at GetFileType — type assertion fails because JSON deserializes file type as float64, not int8.

Possible Fix

In remote.go:87, use a safe type assertion or json.Number / explicit cast from float64 to the expected integer type.

Thanks for reporting this issue. We have to add support for exporting data via cli for locker.
