The status handler read UCI from the wrong section/option
('config'/'sync_dir' instead of the shipped 'general'/'dir') and
defaulted the DB path to /var/lib/owsync, a tmpfs path never created by
the package. On ha-cluster nodes it also never found the runtime config,
so peer_count and encryption were always 0/false.
Resolve the config from the running daemon's -c/--config argument, read
the correct UCI section/option, and fix the peer_count fallback. Add
field-level assertions to the T01 status test.
Reported in the openwrt/packages#29136 review.

A conffiles directory entry needs a trailing slash, otherwise opkg treats it as a plain file and does not preserve the directory contents. Reported in the openwrt/packages#29136 review.

Add owsync, a lightweight bidirectional file synchronization daemon designed for multi-router OpenWrt deployments. Features: - Multi-master bidirectional sync over TCP - AES-256-GCM encryption (optional, menuconfig toggle) - SHA-256 content-based change detection - Tombstone-based deletion tracking across reboots - Atomic file operations (write-to-tmp + rename) - Clock skew protection (aborts if >60s drift) - Glob patterns for include/exclude filtering Primary use case: synchronizing /etc/config between redundant routers. Also useful for multi-AP deployments, fleet management, or any scenario where config files must stay in sync. No dependency on other HA packages — can be merged independently. Dependencies: rpcd (required), libjson-c (required), libopenssl (optional) Binary size: ~150KB stripped, ~2MB RAM Source: https://github.com/pgaufillet/owsync (v1.3.0) Tested on: OpenWrt 24.10 and 25.12 (x86_64 + filogic), production.
