bug: Sync breaks KDE Connect pairing between machines #533

Description

@buncel

Linux distribution

Bazzite 43

Desktop Environment

KDE Plasma

Version of the Save Desktop app

4.0

Package type

Flatpak from Flathub

Bug description

The KDE Plasma save path (cp -R ~/.config/[k]*) picks up ~/.config/kdeconnect/, which contains per-machine TLS certificates and private keys. When two machines sync, they end up with the same device identity — causing Avahi collisions, broken phone pairing, and kdeconnect-app crashes. kdeconnect/ should be excluded since it's machine-specific crypto identity, not desktop configuration.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set up bidirectional sync between two KDE Plasma machines
  2. Let a periodic save+sync cycle run
  3. Try to connect to either machine from a previously paired phone
