 #### Validation
 - Added runtime reload tests for `Account`, `Car`, and the sync callback path
-- Existing suite still passes (`66 passed`)
-- Remote deployment / live portal-path verification still recommended whenever the

+- Existing suite still passes (`67 passed`)
+- **Live 2026-08-10 verification**:
+  - deployed the portal page to unraid and confirmed `/settings/device` routes to login (`302`)
+  - fixed two real sync blockers on the Pi: reuse `db/upload_creds.env` and send
+    the server's required `X-Device-Name` / `X-Api-Key` headers
+  - enabled **Sync with server** on the Pi, changed `owner_name` on the server,
+    waited through the sync thread's 60-second offline/backoff window, and
+    observed both `GET /api/device-config` and the rendered topbar username on
+    the Pi update to `quoije-sync-test`, then revert cleanly to `quoije`
