Function: getPersistedDeviceIdValidationError()

getPersistedDeviceIdValidationError(candidate: string): string | null

Defined in: electron/services/sync/syncEngineUtils.ts:65

Returns a stable validation error string for persisted device IDs.

Parameters​

candidate​

string

Returns​

string | null

Remarks​

The cloud sync subsystem stores device ids inside provider object keys (sync/devices/<deviceId>/...). This helper is shared across multiple modules so the accept/reject policy cannot drift.

The returned messages are intentionally aligned with the historical error strings thrown by ProviderCloudSyncTransport so existing tests and telemetry remain stable.
