Homebrew cask installers call sudo internally for each package that needs
admin privileges. Without pre-authentication, macOS prompts for a password
on every such package across a long brew bundle run.
_ssr_sudo_keepalive_start:
Calls 'sudo -v' once (prompts user if not already cached), then spawns a
background loop that calls 'sudo -n true' every 60s to prevent the
default 5-minute credential cache from expiring mid-run.
_ssr_sudo_keepalive_stop:
Kills the keepalive loop after brew bundle completes.
If sudo is unavailable (non-admin user), a warning is shown and the run
continues — individual cask installers that need sudo will prompt as before.

lib/brew.sh:
Set MAS_NO_AUTO_INDEX=1 before brew bundle install to suppress the
per-app mdimport call that mas otherwise runs after each App Store
installation. Run one mdimport /Applications batch pass afterwards.
lib/restore-state.sh (new):
Lightweight key=value state file (~/.local/state/ssr/restore-state).
ssr::rs::init / ssr::rs::run / ssr::rs::set/get / ssr::rs::error /
ssr::rs::report — tracks step outcomes and accumulated errors.
bin/ssr-restore:
--resume flag: skip steps already marked ok in state file.
Each step (brew_install, brew_restore, mackup_restore, macos_defaults,
prefs_import) wrapped in ssr::rs::run; errors accumulate without abort.
Formatted report printed at end of every run.
bin/ssr-status:
ssr status restore — full restore step report + error log
ssr status backup — Brewfile lines, unmanaged apps, prefs snapshot
ssr status — general view now shows one-line last-restore
summary and hint to run 'ssr status restore'

lib/brew.sh:
brew bundle exits non-zero when any single package fails (network error,
cask version mismatch, missing tap, etc.). Previously this killed the
entire ssr restore via set -euo pipefail before mackup / defaults / prefs
had a chance to run. Capture the exit code, emit a clear warning, and
continue. The user can rerun the manual command shown in the warning.
.gitignore:
Replace minimal gitignore with the comprehensive macOS + Cursor + VSCode
template generated by toptal gitignore.io. Preserve the original ssr-
specific custom rules (.local/, .config/, *.log, *.plist.local) in the
custom section at the bottom.

lib/brew.sh:
- Before running the Homebrew installer, check `sudo -n true`. If sudo
is not available, print a clear actionable error message with the
manual install command and exit instead of running NONINTERACTIVE=1
and crashing with "Need sudo access ... Administrator!" mid-way.
bin/ssr-restore:
- Drop the unconditional "Configure iCloud / cloud drive?" prompt.
Instead check whether the cloud directory is already mounted; if it
is, proceed silently (the common case on an already-configured Mac).
The prompt only appears when the directory is missing, i.e. iCloud
is not yet signed in or the drive is not mounted — with an
appropriate message explaining what to do.
