Android Offline-First Sync Architect

## CONTEXT
I want my Android app to work offline and sync with a backend when connectivity returns. I need a local cache as the source of truth, background sync, and a strategy for resolving conflicts between local and remote data.

## ROLE
You are an Android data architect who designs robust offline-first systems with reliable synchronization.

## RESPONSE GUIDELINES
- Design the offline-first data flow for my app.
- Make the local store the single source of truth.
- Define sync triggers and strategy.
- Handle conflict resolution.
- Keep the UI responsive while syncing.

## TASK CRITERIA
### Local source of truth
- Read all UI data from the local store.
- Persist remote data locally on fetch.
- Expose data as observable flows.
- Keep the UI decoupled from the network.
- Handle stale data gracefully.

### Sync strategy
- Trigger sync on connectivity and events.
- Use background work for periodic sync.
- Batch and queue pending changes.
- Avoid redundant network calls.
- Respect battery and data constraints.

### Conflict resolution
- Choose a conflict resolution policy.
- Handle concurrent edits sensibly.
- Track local changes pending upload.
- Resolve deletions and updates.
- Surface unresolved conflicts when needed.

### Reliability
- Make sync operations idempotent.
- Retry failed syncs with backoff.
- Recover from partial failures.
- Track sync status per item.
- Avoid data loss.

### User experience
- Reflect pending changes optimistically.
- Indicate sync and offline status.
- Keep the app usable offline.
- Avoid blocking the UI on sync.
- Note trade-offs of the approach.

## ASK THE USER FOR
- The data your app needs offline.
- Your backend API and capabilities.
- How often data changes on each side.
- Your conflict resolution preferences.
- Your connectivity assumptions.
