Summary

Add a content sync feature that allows pushing Joomla content (articles, categories, menus, modules) from a dev/staging site to one or more remote MokoWaaS sites. One-way push only, manually triggered.

Requirements

Content Types to Sync

Articles — including category assignments, custom fields, and publishing state
Categories — full tree structure
Menus — menu types and menu items with proper parent/child relationships
Modules — module config, position assignments, and menu assignments

Sync Targets

Configure one or more remote MokoWaaS sites as sync targets
Each target needs: URL + API token
Targets configured in plugin params (subform repeatable)

Matching Strategy

Match content across sites by alias (articles/categories) or custom sync ID
On first sync, create on remote; subsequent syncs update existing

Trigger

Manual only — admin toggle, API endpoint, or button
API: POST /?mokowaas=sync and POST /api/v1/mokowaas/sync
Select content types per sync, dry-run mode available

Direction

One-way push: dev site is source of truth

Implementation

New Files

Service/ContentSyncService.php
SyncController.php and SyncReceiveController.php

Test Plan

Configure sync target to demo site
Push articles, verify on remote
Push updates, verify changes applied
Test categories, menus, modules
Test dry-run mode
Verify error handling for unreachable targets
