📋 Sub-task of #97

Description

Replace mock CloudService with real CloudKit implementation for data synchronization across devices.

Current State

  • CloudService.swift uses mock implementation
  • No actual cloud sync functionality
  • Falls back to local storage only

Implementation Tasks

  • Configure CloudKit container and schema
  • Implement CloudKitService conforming to CloudService protocol
  • Add record types for all entities (Item, Location, Photo, Receipt)
  • Implement sync engine with conflict resolution
  • Add offline queue for pending changes
  • Implement subscription for real-time updates
  • Add progress tracking for sync operations

CloudKit Schema Design

Record Types:
- Item (fields: name, category, value, etc.)
- Location (fields: name, parentReference)
- Photo (fields: itemReference, imageAsset)
- Receipt (fields: store, date, amount, items)

Key Features

  • Automatic sync on app launch
  • Background sync when data changes
  • Conflict resolution (last-write-wins)
  • Batch operations for efficiency
  • Progress indicators for users
  • Error recovery mechanisms

Technical Requirements

  • Enable CloudKit capability in project
  • Create CKContainer configuration
  • Implement CKRecord extensions for models
  • Add sync status to UI
  • Handle account changes
  • Implement data migration

Testing Requirements

  • Test sync between multiple devices
  • Test conflict resolution
  • Test offline/online transitions
  • Test large dataset sync
  • Test account switching

Performance Goals

  • Sync 1000 items < 30 seconds
  • Incremental sync < 5 seconds
  • Offline queue handling

Estimated Effort: 1 week
