Route Sync Data through a shared headless-capable Flutter engine and the existing band ownership and commit-before-ACK persistence path. Add opt-in connectivity-error suppression, an interactive foreground fallback, and Dart/native/system-invocation regression tests.
Expose Sync Data (Long Running) on iOS 27 with extended execution, system-managed progress, and cancellation through the shared sync bridge. Keep the ordinary action and deployment target unchanged, and cover the additional intent with native and system-invocation tests.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Cancellation can temporarily block later Shortcuts and background sync, while a Bluetooth startup timeout cannot be ignored through the connectivity option. Address these before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The sync path retains pairing, Bluetooth, reset, ownership, and save-before-acknowledgement controls. One lifecycle question remains: cancellation or timeout can return a result before ongoing work finishes, and the iOS side needed to assess the effect on background execution was not available.

**issue (bug_risk):** When the task deadline fires while the task is in the `connecting` phase, `waitFor` calls `stop()` without a status and `expired` classifies the result as `bandUnreachable` instead of `timedOut`. The long-running intent therefore reports a connectivity failure for a deadline expiry during connection, and the native timeout handler is bypassed because the Dart budget is intentionally shorter than the native watchdog.
**Triggers:** When the long-running sync reaches its Dart deadline while still connecting to the band.
**Suggested fix:** Return `timedOut` for deadline expiry regardless of the current connection phase, or distinguish an actual connection failure from the task's deadline before calling `expired`.
```suggestion
ShortcutSyncResult get expired => ShortcutSyncResult(
'timedOut',
records: records,
```
</issue_to_address>Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. 1 finding to address first, and an incorrect background sync could persist wrong or incomplete records and acknowledge them to the band, causing the band to trim data that a revert cannot restore. The feature's ownership, cancellation, and commit-before-ACK paths limit the scope, but any data already acknowledged or stored would require recovery rather than a simple revert.

Stop waiting for the foreground burst after Shortcut cancellation.
IosShortcutSync.run can return to native when ShortcutSyncTask.waitFor completes, while its work future still awaits the foreground _kickSyncBurst. The burst can run up to 20 sessions with 180-second session timeouts. HeadlessSyncGate limits the resulting hold to 15 minutes, then releases the gate and clears _active through work's cleanup path. Until that happens, new Shortcut requests and headless wakes can be blocked.
Race _kickSyncBurst against task completion. Let the burst continue, but return from syncForShortcut when the task is cancelled or expires.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
An adapter-state timeout returns a generic failure instead of a connectivity result.
.timeout(const Duration(seconds: 3)) has no onTimeout. If CoreBluetooth stays in unknown or turningOn, a TimeoutException goes up to run, which returns failed. The Ignore Connectivity Errors option can then never suppress this Bluetooth-state case, and the user gets an action error. AppState.bluetoothReady uses an onTimeout fallback for this same stream. Map a timeout to bluetoothUnavailable.
Proposed fix
final adapter = await FlutterBluePlus.adapterState
.firstWhere(
(s) =>
s != BluetoothAdapterState.unknown &&
s != BluetoothAdapterState.turningOn,
)
- .timeout(const Duration(seconds: 3));
+ .timeout(
+ const Duration(seconds: 3),

Scope
Split the iOS 27 long-running synchronization action out of #370. This adds Sync Data (Long Running) using
LongRunningIntentandCancellableIntent, with the existing sync bridge and commit-before-ACK persistence path.This is an explicitly invoked long-running action, not a permanent background daemon or a new autonomous scheduling service.
Dependency and review scope
Depends on #370. Merge the Shortcuts/shared-bridge PR first.
The feature-only delta is commit 0e3bb18: five files, 204 additions and one deletion. Its file contents are byte-for-byte identical to the original long-running commit
d99a630; conflict resolution and shared-infrastructure regression fixes are in #370.Review only the iOS 27 delta.
Both source branches are in the contributor fork, and the contributor has no permission to create an upstream base branch. This upstream PR therefore targets
main; GitHub's full Files changed view includes the unmerged prerequisite. After #370 merges, rebase this branch ontomain, dropping prerequisite commit1d68106, so its upstream diff becomes feature-only. Do not merge this PR first.Validation
Remaining device validation
Real-device validation remains outstanding for real-band backlog transfer, cancellation/timeout recovery, overlapping app/Shortcut requests, and locked-device/unattended automation testing. Simulator invocation does not establish Bluetooth-transfer reliability or an iOS scheduling guarantee.
Summary by Sourcery
Add explicit iOS Shortcut actions for reliable on-demand and long-running band synchronization while preserving data safety and existing background-sync behavior.
