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: libjson-c (required), libopenssl (optional) Binary size: ~150KB stripped, ~2MB RAM Source: https://github.com/pgaufillet/owsync (v1.2.0) Tested on: OpenWrt 24.10 and 25.12 (x86_64 + filogic), production.
