What it does
Manage ~/.zshrc and a chosen set of ~/.config/ directories (you name them in Config.md) against a private GitHub dotfiles repo. Intents: Push (verify private remote, scan secrets), Pull (clone/diff), Sync, Restore (timestamped backup), Status, Backup (local timestamped copy). Security scan blocks .env, secrets, tokens before push. NEVER commits to public repos. USE WHEN dotfiles, push/pull/sync dotfiles, zshrc, restore config, backup config, new machine setup. NOT FOR app configs unrelated to shell/editor/terminal.

Manages ~/.zshrc and ~/.config/ against a private GitHub dotfiles repo; the directories under ~/.config that Backup and Restore copy are the ones you list in Config.md (DOTFILES_CONFIG_DIRS). Push local config up, pull it down, sync two-way, restore from a timestamped backup, or check status, with a gitleaks content scan of the staged diff and of every unpushed commit that stops the push on any secret, or when gitleaks is not installed.
The working clone lives at $DOTFILES_DIR and tracks the private remote $DOTFILES_REPO. Push is the default intent; Pull, Sync and Status only compare, Restore is the one intent that overwrites local files, and Backup makes a local copy that never leaves the machine.
