Replace the stale 'not available yet' note with an accurate description: push works but is scoped-storage-trapped, pull is a no-op, and automatic sync is now off by default (ActivityWatch/aw-android#184). Links to activitywatch#1357 which tracks the follow-up setup flow.

Greptile SummaryExpands the syncing documentation with the current Android limitations.
Confidence Score: 4/5The directional explanation should be corrected before merging so readers are not given a reversed definition of pulling data from other devices. The new section labels getting locally produced data off the phone as “pull from other devices,” even though pulling remote data describes bringing it onto the phone.

'get that data off the phone (pull from other devices)' reversed the direction — getting data off the phone is a push, not a pull. Greptile caught this in PR ActivityWatch#175 review.
