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:
- 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.

Adds a round-trip mechanism for macOS system preferences that are not
covered by Homebrew or Mackup (Dock layout, Finder options, global
keyboard shortcuts, input sources, Spaces config, menu-bar clock,
NSGlobalDomain).
sync: `ssr sync` exports each configured domain with `defaults export`
and writes one plist per domain to <backup_dir>/macos-prefs/. Export is
soft-fail per domain so one bad domain doesn't abort the sync. Gated by
SSR_SNAPSHOT_MACOS_PREFS=true (default on).
restore: `ssr restore` replays the snapshot with `defaults import` after
the declarative config/macos-defaults.sh runs, so the snapshot is the
last writer and wins for accepted domains. Before importing, the restore
detects domains that both the snapshot and macos-defaults.sh touch and
prompts interactively:
Domain `com.apple.dock`:
Snapshot will OVERRIDE values set by macos-defaults.sh.
[A]ccept snapshot / [r]eject (keep declarative)? [A/r]:
Non-TTY (launchd, CI) falls back to SSR_PREFS_CONFLICT_DEFAULT (default
"accept"). SSR_ASSUME_YES=true skips all prompts. After import, Dock,
Finder, SystemUIServer and cfprefsd are restarted once.
New config keys: SSR_SNAPSHOT_MACOS_PREFS, SSR_MACOS_PREF_DOMAINS,
SSR_MACOS_PREF_DOMAINS_EXTRA, SSR_PREFS_CONFLICT_DEFAULT, SSR_ASSUME_YES.
ssr-status surfaces the snapshotted-domain count.
README documents the snapshot flow, default domain table, conflict UX,
and the five new config keys.
