Sync only works one direction (not bidirectional)

[S4tvara]

Description

The current sync implementation only pulls files from remote to local. It doesn't push local files to remote or perform true bidirectional synchronization.

Current Behavior

vault1 → sync → vault2  (vault2 gets vault1's files)
vault2 → sync → vault1  (vault1 gets vault2's files)

Users must run sync twice (once from each vault) to sync in both directions.

Expected Behavior

vault1 ↔ sync ↔ vault2  (both get each other's files in one operation)

Impact

• Extra steps required
• Confusing UX
• Inefficient (2x the network traffic for full sync)
• Easy to forget to sync in both directions

Suggested Implementation

1. Compare manifests in both directions
2. Identify files unique to each vault
3. Transfer missing files/chunks in both directions
4. Add flag: --pull-only for current behavior if needed

Similar to how tools like rsync, syncthing, and git work with bidirectional sync.
